I've been here for a bit and haven't contributed my fair share of trip reports

so I thought I post this one, although the weather won't be good up north for several months still.

a short review of two bike, 5 day trip to Alberta. ... Hope you enjoy.

< 8 photos w/captions and then a 2 min. video >

Alberta on a problematical day

This glacier (Crowsfoot Glacier?) is seen from “Icefield Highway.”

My riding friend and I set up camp. I think the FJR has good carrying capacity,

but this picture shows otherwise, relative to Steve's Goldwing.

weather sometimes gives cool clouds

Convenient arrangement of support for your needs here in this small town:

the church, the liquor store and the Pub, all in a row. When I commented to the gal

giving me directions - on the convenience of it all being next door to each other -

she replied with a smile, "Well, it works for us."

One large pine cone (or at least it seemed big to me).

OK, now count the number of wheels on this 18-wheeler, if you dare.

on the way home, I decided not to take this road…

OK, here's my (first posted) video from this 5 day tour.

I liked this twisty stretch so went back and ran it again while my wing riding friend went ahead.

Nice video, Next time your up this way drop me a line, maybe we can hook up.

Bye the way your speed seemed a bit excessive at the end of the video, The Mounties have been alerted.... :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
