Maple Ridge to be specific. Always up for a cruise, so let me know if another ride is in the works sometime in the future

Thanks for the welcome!

What ? Another M50 in the area....

I think that makes two of us now

Welcome aboard, hope to see ya around town.

rmacdon · 05-05-2009, 07:52 PM

Heh, actually I know of 1 other in Maple Ridge, so at least 3! But after seeing the new M90 today, I might be upgrading sooner than later! Thanks for the welcomes!

blackie1491 · 05-06-2009, 12:00 AM

The June issue of RoadBike has a review of the M90.

rmacdon · 05-06-2009, 09:22 PM

Good to know, will check it out! thanks!

Atlas68 · 05-07-2009, 04:18 PM

A belated hello Rob. Welcome aboard.
The M90 caught my eye too at the Tradex last fall.
Always been a fan of the look of the M109R. Due to the deals that can be on the M109's now, and the newness if the M90, a guy might get a better deal with the big brother.

Maybe we'll all get a ride together in the near future.
With so many 805 cc bikes in the mix, I'll have to readjust my riding style...

blackie1491 · 05-07-2009, 09:39 PM

Atlas, you know we always wait for you!!!

rmacdon · 05-09-2009, 12:19 AM

That is a good point Atlas, I will have to look into that!

Elvis · 05-10-2009, 02:12 PM

Hello folks, my better half opened the season and we did our first duo ride to Steveston Village. Kinda short but it was great.

Atlas68 · 05-11-2009, 01:53 AM

nice pics Elvis. Good lighting and effects.

My wife and I took a ride out to Steveston a few weeks ago...enjoyed some fish and chips, a stroll down on the docks, shootin' the breeze with the fishermen, inspecting their catches of the day.
Always a good time to be had down there.

Thanks Atlas.

Our favorite are the fish n chip place on the floats and the Greek Taverna on Moncton St. that is almost at the end of the street, not the one in the corner.

Any plans for the looong weekend? I'm thinking of taking a day ride to Anacortes or maybe stay overnight. [Weather forecasts seem to be promising for the weekend].

Cheers,

E.

blackie1491 · 05-13-2009, 12:19 PM

Rode in to Newton and then back this morning, not another Bike in sight!
A little cool, should have had a little heavier glove.

Hope you enjoy your ride.

Had a great time last Saturday: Hit the road at 5:30 AM, breakfast at Old Fairhaven, Bellingham, saw the Corvette show in Anacortes, waterfront festival in Coupeville, late lunch at Langley, WA, flew down I-5 and after 525 km, got home around 10 PM.

blackie1491 · 05-21-2009, 12:31 AM

Nice ride.

I rode into to Newton just after 6 this morning, by 192nd I hit rain till King George and 16th.
Of course on the way home was just the opposite.

Only saw 1 other bike.

Elvis · 05-23-2009, 01:04 AM

Ride for Dad on Sunday, May 31st at 9:00 a.m

Motorcycle RIDE For DAD | Trev Deeley Motorcycles

blackie1491 · 05-25-2009, 10:51 AM

Was out on Sat., more Bikes on the North side of the Fraser.

Sunday there were more Bikes than cars up along Huntington and Vye. At one point in a 3 block stretch passed a 100 Bikes that were heading East by the Airport.

The economy may be down but Bike numbers are up.

Atlas68 · 05-31-2009, 02:44 PM

Been on some nice rides within the last week...
Wife and I went out to Cultas late last week, just short of the Carmana (sp) valley. Took a look at a new cottage development that looked appealing from the hwy., just past Maple Bay campground... Beautiful day.

A couple of days ago, we went over the Albion Ferry, took the #7 out to Harrison for lunch. On the way I showed her the Kilby Historic area and campsite. Worth a look.

Yesterday, a friend and fellow Vmax owner rode out to Hope for a bite, returning via the #7. Turned off Sylvester Rd. and explored a beautiful loop filled with interesting farms and panoramic mountain views. If you've never explored this area, I'd highly recommend it!
Met up with another friend in Surrey, and went on to Crecent beach for a coffee. Lots of Km's put on, but enjoyed every minute of it.

Blackie,

Just thought I'd let you know that I parted with my ninja and joined the boulevard family...2009 Boulevard M90 that is...
