I just bought this '09 Electra Glide. She is my first big block. I will get most of the summer off, so I will be taking her on many trips.
This last weekend was her first real run. I picked Norah up in Nelson BC after I ran up the Kootenay Lake road, and we did two loops in the West Kootenays. This weekend we will be heading over to Kelowna. Other plans for the summer include Sturgis, and Desert Trip in Indio California in October. Plus lots of other shorter trips around the Pacific Northwest and further. It will be a great summer. I will be running this thread as a continuous thread for all this year. So check back and view the fun.

I rented a heated storage spot this year... and I put Darla to bed today... i am off to of to the Beach on Friday for a week or so... if the weather holds good, i will pull her out for day rides when I get back... but the season is pretty much over, and it is time to get ready for ski season... to that end I bought new ski racks for my Jeep, have my season pass in hand and now will wait for the snow to fall. Hopefully by next motorcycle season the border might be open, and I can head south... I ran out of roads in BC and Alberta that interested me this year... but... if not, I can always continue my ride to Newfoundland if it works out.
I am watching a series on YouTube called Itchy Boots, about a young Dutch woman world traveller on a motorcycle... very interesting how she is handling the issues, and she is giving me some motivation to get going again next year...
I got all the ducks in order at work now... so I am officially semi retired... and have put the day to day operations in the hands of my OfficeBoss and my OpsBoss... I will still do BigThink, but it is time to let the Youngens do what they have been trained and assigned to do, and leave them alone.

I love Itchy Boots. Noraly is pretty awesome. She definitely isn't afraid of anything.
My season is winding down, but I'm not quite ready to put the bikes away just yet. However, like you, I feel as if I've run out of roads....lol. I hope next years is back to the old normal. as this new normal **** sucks.
I'm not ready for the snow to fly, but when it decides to do so, I'll be out trying out the Trailhawk's abilities. Having two Jeeps to play in the snow with, should make for a fun winter.
