We are into Rain.
There have been some Sunny periods.
I have been busy with other things and missed some good periods.

Shop roof sprung a leak, sun comes out, up onto the roof I go, check to see what I need, run up to get the supplies.
Back up onto the roof, start repairs and it starts to rain.
Get down, tell the better half I will take her shopping.
Go shopping and the sun comes out.

Should of just got on the Bike.

Hi Bob,

Greetings from the Wild Rose Country.

Rain, rain nothing but rain, till April on the west coast. Might snow around x'mas which is kinda nice though.

Already itching to get on the saddle again.....

Here's to some good weather for you guys. I'll be stuck indoors 'till Spring. I'll be watching hockey and will cheer on all the West Coast teams.

Ride Safe.

Soggy...for those brave enough to venture out.
Mine is parked for the winter...I'm thinking til at least Feb-Mar.

If every once in a while there is a small break in the weather, but I no longer enjoy rain running down my neck.

Although I may trade the Bike in for a Canoe!!

blackie1491 · 12-05-2008, 11:53 AM

Got out for a few hours yesterday.
A little cool, 46 F, enough breeze to wish I had put on lined jeans.

Rode over to the new location in Langley, by the over pass.
Where Barnett Harley, Holeshot Racing and Valley Toy's for Boys are located.
Spent 15 minutes in the road construction mess, then rode passed the turn off.
Will head back later. Nice to have Honda, Kawi, Suzuki, Harley and Victory dealers all together.

If I had of dressed warmer, I would have stayed out for a few more hours.
Days like this are why I keep it insured all year.

Elvis · 12-24-2008, 02:51 PM

Merry x'mas and a great New Year to all CWR.

blackie1491 · 12-24-2008, 10:02 PM

Merry Christmas.

Was thinking of trading the Bike in for a Sled with 2 Raindeer!!!!

Elvis · 01-05-2009, 08:00 PM

Hey Bob, are you really going to ride to the Tradex?

I had to take something from my saddle bags yesterday and opened up the cover. Oh man, I was excited to see the bike. I really miss the days I ride to work, the day rides and the weekend trips. I think I'll insure the bike in March this year and plan a long trip down south in the Summer.

How's the weather in your part of the Lower Mainland?

Lots of snow out here in the sticks.
Has rained steady for 2 days and the white stuff is melting.
Lost power again last night, falling trees and cars crashing into power poles has been a small problem.
Power has been out 4 times in the last few weeks.
Last Friday the mother board in my single package A|C-Furnace went and the part was not available till Monday afternoon.
I had a neighbour updating his gas fireplace and had it installed Sat., kept us warm.

My last ride was a few days before this 25 days of snow. Depending on the weatherI sometimes ride to the Tradex Center. If my oldest son comes we drive.

New Years Eve, we got caught in a little bit of a snow storm south of Bellingham, Mount Vernon area,, lots of cars in the ditch. Hit Bellingham and it turned to rain.

My snow shovel has had a good work out.

Elvis · 01-21-2009, 07:35 PM

Let the show begin!

Atlas68 · 01-23-2009, 11:28 AM

Wife and I took in the show last night. We both really enjoyed it. I was eager to see the new Vmax. Awesome machine...
Also checked out the M-90. Both of us gave it a thumbs up.
My wife was really into the Victory line. Sweet looking rides.
Picked up a couple of new leather jackets for us both.
Good show.

blackie1491 · 01-25-2009, 06:17 PM

My Son and and Grandson took me to the show this morning.
We were there just after opening and it was full.
When we left 2 hours later the lineup was out the door.
People were parked out on the street.

People were buying or putting deposits down.

Hello fellow Wet Coasters...

I just stumbled upon this thread and thought I would say hello from Pitt Meadows.

Hey Ron! Welcome to the site. Lot's of good info on the M50 in here.
The bike show has got me stoked to ride. Can't wait for warmer and dryer weather.

blackie1491 · 01-25-2009, 11:44 PM

You and Atlas should get along as you are both Fishermen.
Of course he has gone over to the Dark Side!!!
