Spring Fever Incoming.
Hawt damn...can't wait until the snow melts and get going again.
Usually by April 1st here in Calgary the warm weather rolls in. Can't frikin wait! I decided to make my 2 week road trip this year a homage to back home where I grew up....great rides around Regina, Saskatchewan, old friends and family. Next year I will do a big rally again...the little local one where I live will just have to make do..besides I luv it where I can pitch a tent beside the beer gardens. Just as much fun. Oh and also...many day escapes this year to the Drumheller hoodoos and Rockies' foothills. Got a buddy who's family that owns river front property north of Drum that is turned into a private camping oasis.
I am stoked to get the season going!!!! And hush all you southern 'yall's eh
My morning coffee ramblings.
Cheers.
PS...oh right my bike better be out of the shop by then:P Bad mods.

I hear you man, I have an armful of parts to run to the powder coater this morning. I feel a sense of urgency to get everything back together before the snow melts. I ordered a new rear fender so I'm gettin jittery waiting on it, signals and a taillight. I was in Calgary a couple weeks ago and saw a few bikes out. Called up Mad Jap customs to look at some cool scoots but they weren't around. Speaking of Drum, you must have ridden through the 11 bridges to Wayne?

Last time I was there was memorable. The last thing the ol lady asked me before we left was "should I bring a coat?" I said naw lets wear t-shirts its hot out there. We planned on rippin to Drumheller from Red Deer then catch the Stamps game. By the time we got to Wayne I was sun burned bad and grabbed a long sleeve tshirt from the gift shop. As I headed south towards Strathmore the clouds got crazy black. I gave the ol lady the long sleeve t and we continued through Strathmore to Calgary. The clouds opened up on the other side and hail the size of golf ***** started nailing us. We took a beating, there was nowhere to pull over and hide so I pinned er through to out run the storm. Its hard to look cool with ice welts on your arms and tears running down your face, doing 65 down the hiway...lol. This was the day of the freak storm at the big valley jamboree that knocked the stage over. We eventually made it to Calgary but the wife took a beating and had some bruises. We called er a day, skipped the game and grabbed a room and beer to warm up. Now to this day she doesn't ask me but wears her leather every time and just gives me the look.

Yep it feels like I bit off more than I can chew atm. Tins should be at the painters by next week once I see the strut alignment....then back in my garage after that.

I guess you can't be from Sask without being a huge Riders fan. They must wait with green banners and jerseys just outside the womb, to replenish the green army's numbers over there.
