Nelson/Trail is the hotspot of BC today.  You couldn't have picked a better day for the homeward bound trip.

Yep, it was nice to get here this afternoon. When I left Elkford it was rather chilly. My bike temp said -3 but it was more like 0C.  Had a great ride and enjoyed the heated grips and my vest. I rode up Kootenay Lake from Creston and caught the ferry. No traffic at all, though they appear to have marked about 30 km of the road at 60kmh now from Bowell to Gray Creek. Got home and washed all the salt and crap off and it looks like a good deal afterall !!  Bigok

I really like this bike !  It ain't no sportbike but handled 3A quite well for a relatively big machine. Fits me well and the torquey engine is great fun. Fast sweepers are its territory and it covers distance comfortably and very efficiently. Well over 400 km till fuel light.

Oh Wow! The Duc looks like it has Crystal Dylithium Pulse Engines! (At least from the bum end!).
But the Norge is something I'll want when I grow up! Thanks for posting pics!

I'll take that the credit for that one.  But that thing with the sheep and the butterscotch pudding?  You're on your own.

Oh, and allow me to interject...those are not 1200 Sport mirrors, they are Tuono mirrors.  Therefore, it's even faster.

I'm jealous Jim.  That is one nice looking bike. Inlove  Been checking out something more comfortable for two up touring and the Norge and the Concours have been on my list.  Something about Guzzi just checks of all the boxes.
