seeing the Vancouver Skyline with the North Shore Mountains, in the background.
Heading into Town, over the Alex Fraser Bridge, thinking I should stop and take pictures.
Sitting outside having a coffee in Fort Langley, with nothing to look forward but a ride along the river cross over into Mission and up to Hope. A short ride on the freeway, hop off on to Old Yale Road and enjoy the ride home. Pictures just don't do it justice.

Thanks Bob but you aren't helping me at all cause I gotta spend the entire week next week in Northern Alberta. But when I get back to what you poetically describe I'll probably insure the bike and ride over the bridges, cruise through the valley in to the country roads and ride back toward the ocean on the freeway.

Baby sitting the Grandson this week end, then out comes the paint brush. I have 18 Rose Budhes to prune, a Memorial Garden of 1/2 an acre that need cleaning and a Bike under a cover that keeps whispering "Ride Me".

Too bad I live in fear of my Wife!!!!

saw the movie last night. He is riding a Norton 850. Beautiful trip from Ontario to BC, ended in Tofino. Enjoyed the scenic pictures and the soundtrack but it is a kind of sad story although we don't know ..... well I shouldn't say that in case you wanna watch the movie.

Yah! Sucks to be living in Winni..........

blackie1491 · 03-09-2009, 10:50 AM

When you roll up that rim and it says go west, Winnipeg is not what they meant!!!

Looking out my window, I don't think they meant here either.

Bigf00t · 03-09-2009, 03:40 PM

At least there's not enough to shovel.....

I went to insure the bike on the weekend..... as a snow squall blew through.....Spring Eh !

Mother Nature just finished force feeding us some -40C weather a few days ago. She's such a %%%%%!

We better start getting some warmer weather by the end of the month or else I'm gonna be pissed!

Okay, my rant over.......

blackie1491 · 03-14-2009, 12:37 PM

Well it warmed up, now the forecast is a week of rain.

Bigf00t · 03-14-2009, 01:15 PM

Yep, Westcoast Spring has arrived...Rain. At least I managed to get one ride in yesterday before the heavens opened up.

It's a good day to work, If there's such a thing.

frostbitevinnie · 03-14-2009, 02:43 PM

I hope it rains soon. Gotta wash all the crap off the roads now!!

blackie1491 · 03-15-2009, 01:41 AM

We get a lot of that. Believe it or not once it had rained 3 weeks non-stop mid June to early July. Don't mind the rain no more, if only it was warmer in the AM hours and no ice on the roads.

Atlas68 · 03-24-2009, 08:09 AM

Finally got my chromed parts installed and fresh oil for the season. Just need to insure the beast and I'm good to go. Weather looks good Wednesday. Bob, you able to get out for a jaunt? I'm thinking of starting after dropping the kids off at school...maybe 10:00 start time?? I'd like to go for a good ride, maybe out Hwy 7 or something like that.
Of course, if any others from the GVRD that has been posting on this thread, are available, you're welcome as well.
I'll check in this afternoon Bob to see if you're up for it. PM me with your new #'s. I think I still have your old numbers.

Later all.

blackie1491 · 03-24-2009, 11:53 AM

Sounds good. PM'ed the #.

Bigf00t · 03-24-2009, 07:00 PM

Too bad it isn't the weekend.....

blackie1491 · 03-24-2009, 07:34 PM
