serioiusly thinking about a US purchase myself. Good info here, thanks guys. Hey Reggie, you stole my AVATAR ...wtf?

Had the extended warranty on my '04 abs. Never had an issue, but the piece of mind was worth it. Ride it like I stole it and she keeps asking for more. Pushing 100,000 strong as ever.

Looking forward to a boxing day ride to work off some of that turkey, ham, stuffing, mashed potatos, parsnips, brussel sprouts...oh, I love Christmas. Merry Christmas to all of you. John and Kay

Heat up that reflector with a hair dryer and then slip some fishing line carefully on the edge and slide it under and the whole thing comes off, slick as ****. Good luck on the repairs, just do it.

Good luck brother. Been there and done that number twice. Don't think about the money, the lawyers and the ex get it all anyway. She sounds like a pro. Just stay strong, and before you know it, time has healed you. You will be riding again, and may just find that perfect pillion, like I did.

Ditto on Blackfoot, good prices, shipped by bus, cheap and easy. Lately the boys at the local shop have been using a sharper pencil and I have only paid about $25 more from them, and get them installed. Builds a relationship with the dealer's service staff. So far so good.

The ride to Gold River has been changed to the stat on Monday. Leaving Victoria at 8:30 am from Tim Hortons. Hey El Gordo..PM me and give me your number and we'll call you from Parksville or Qualicum Bch.

So gordo, Monday would be better?

Hey there guys, planning a big one (ride that is) for November 11, leaving Victoria at 8:30 am, heading to Gold River and back. Any takers?

Congratulations to all who attended the CFR in Huntsville. Hope you all had a safe ride home. I have been away for the past four weeks, and was thinking about you folks and the times I missed. Hope to make it next year or for sure in '09 in the Kootenays!! ;)

Yes, I would second that emotion. The Kootenays. Nelson, Kaslo, Creston, Salmo, New Denver...oh, I have to stop. Did I mention Nakusp to Farqhuar to the Needles Ferry, then back to the Okanogan for a wrap up barbeque at Dave and Sylvia's. Sounds good to me. Ready and willing to help.

Hell, I've been riding so much lately, I can't remember the last time I posted. Let's see how many posts.. 188.. Well, maybe next year.

I think the potential for some black on black reflective graphics on the '08 will be fantastic. Hard to keep clean but looks great once it is clean. I love my '04 but this has me thinking it is time to give it a stable mate. Was considering the Connie but have read some stuff that is changing...

Five of us rode down to the Reno Air Races a couple of years ago, and the RedBull races were definitely the highlight. If you haven't seen them yet, and are into aviation this is a must see event. You will know what I mean when you see what these pilots and planes are able to do. :o

Yes'm I have done a couple of SS1000's but never submitted the signatures and logs. To me doesn't really matter. I've done it, know personally I can and will do big days again, but don't want the plate frame or certificate to tell the world. Everyone's different, don't think I don't...

There is a lovely Provincial campsite right on the north shore of Lk Superior, stoney beach. Can't remember the name of it, but you can't miss it. Sandy camping conditions. But it has the basics. Take your bug repellant and keep you eyes open for bears. Ride safe. Oh and as open as the roads...

I have been moving house for the last week and just now see you have raised the LDR bar to a new level. Man, did you have to raise it so high? Good on you Dale. I am sure the stories at WFO have been colourful as always. ;) So a few technical questions. In that heat you must have been...

Yamaha will be looking hard at the new Connie, not to match it, but to beat it. I rode the Connie and it does a nice job, but Kawasaki is going to have to deal with the heat issue big time. I think the current FJR is just right, but the evolution will bring us some of the stuff now coming on...

I went down and test rode the New Connie. Kay rode pillion as a second opinion was needed for comfort from her perspective, and I had it for about 45 minutes in city traffic, then freeway, then some twisties. First impressions, nice fit and finish, but the small plastic hatch between the gas...
