It's May 1st and I have not started my FJR

[Baz]

Uggggh, this is the worst spring I can remember.

Yes, I could have gone for a ride but at most days being around the 10 C mark, I have not been that motivated. I think I need to look at relocating somewhere near the equator.

[MstrJim]

Don't feel bad Baz.  Mine's still covered in the garage and I'm back at work for a month so no chance of starting it till the end of May.  Mind you, Spring is due to arrive in Calgary sometime this year.

[Rigger]

Hey Baz how was your winter buddy?  Right now Winnipeg is -5 and its blowing snow.  I would gladly ride in 10 above if I could.   Hows things back in St Albert?  I miss riding to Riverside and catching up with you at Timmies

[Corbeau]

No worries, Baz, I took out my VFR only yesterday, despite nice weekends in April. But since there was still some nice skiing to be done, I was still in winter mode.

Hey, my bike is sitting like this right now.

So  you guys probably don't want to hear about my ride this morning then I guess    I was able to get a couple hour reprieve from installing counter tops and went for a little scoot

[bubba zanetti]

Me too

Beautiful day in the Lower Mainland, took my camera out with the intent to get some pictures.  These are not as scenic as Dave and Jim's shots (took some but they were overexposed, perils of a cheap point and shoot.)

Jeebuz ... that is a sweet bike J .... must be addictive as hell ? It is just so .. so ... purposeful looking.    Hope you ride it here sometime soon. I would love to hear it and try ..TRY ... and follow you ...

   I guess  this makes us cousins    Nice bike what are the two cannons sticking out under the seat?
That thing looks scary fast

First ride of the season turned into 1600kms over three days.  Of the three days it was cold wet, beautiful, cool wet and then windy.

 It was very good to get out on the FJR!

I guess we are cousins, since Aprilia owned Moto Guzzi when your V11 was made, same year as my Tuono.   

I don't know if it's scary fast (consider the rider), but with those twin 54mm Bofors, it's indeed scary loud.   

[Scoop]

Mine's still in the garage too.  It can't make up it's mind whether to be warm or to snow.  And, I've been too busy working on the garage to get the bike ready.  Ah well, maybe June......

[Rigger]

Hey Baz I might be through the Edmonton area this summer on vacation.  Will you be around the 20th of July?

[Baz]

Some of you made me feel better.....

Rigger.. I should be around. I believe we are doing Beartooth the week before and I think I will be back by the 18th.

[Kootenanny]

Better get our bikes on the road quick!  Get those trips in before the 21st!

Shit.  That's Victoria Day weekend innit?  

Good news is, that's just Judgement Day.  Actual end of the world isn't until October.

Right.  Whew...at least we got one more summer...(unless, of course, you're one of the "saved.")

[Fast Blue]

Well it's been on of those springs or one of those long relenting winters - either way the time has come where I took the cover off  today and began my pre riding  maintenance -   all is good  - the plan is to be on the road no later than Tuesday  -- just in time for Port Dover on Thursday night - ride home to Huronia then on to Muskoka on Saturday-- By the way I hear the MF Blackflies are out already--  may I paste a gazillion on my windshield -- ya-ya i know my Visor too  oh well so a few Blueberry bushes wont get pollinated : )
