Pics from the weekend

Odometer reading 2045km.
Total trip 825km
Sat 250km
Sun 575km (no wonder my butt and shoulders hurt!!!)
AWESOME WEEKEND!!!!!
Saw my friend Val in Peterborough-haven't seen her in 5years!!! And had a great weekend with my guy. Getting REALLY comfortable on the bike!!! Sat weather was wet, today was INCREDIBLE!!!! Perfect riding weather!!




Chisolm's Mill





Ompah Stomp (CR 509)




How cold is the water??




Me and Val (friend from Village AH)

One way to get noticed

Defiantly would get people to see motorcyclist but would have been a bit chilly for this weekend's 825km trip.

Tax time

Ok , this has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with my motorcycle but it just makes me laugh (a little too much according to Tim!!!) For more of this great Canadian go to rickmercer.com
(Check out the skinny dipping with Bob Rae!!!)

Odometer 420km!!!!!!

Alrighty, it WAS sunny this morning so we went for a ride. We encountered wind, dropping temperatures, rain, hail and just to top it off-R.I.D.E. (They have the best spot at the four corners in Camden. So I put another 120km on her today-I AM SO GLAD I BOUGHT HEATED GRIPS!!!!
Headed out about 10am and went to Timmy's. Met a couple of people there including my friend and her hubby who were going to look at a bike of their own. From there went to Lower Brewer's Mills where we encountered the hail.





























Flew back down to K-town where it seemed even colder so we headed for home. 5 minutes from home we met up with the R.I.D.E and when they asked about any alcohol the only response of course was "not a chance" They just laughed and waved us through. A few of my main rules for myself:
NO ACLOHOL when riding (no matter HOW good that Guiness looks :( ) and
ATGATT (ALL THE GEAR ALL THE TIME-tough one in the dead of summer but thems the breaks!!!)
RIDE SAFE!!!!

Weather Sucks

Well looks like I picked the only nice day to pick up my bike. Saturday was nice but silly me wanted to do yard work. BIG MISTAKE. It's been raining and now possible flurries on Thursday!!! I'll have to work hard to get 1000km on before the end of the month!!!!! Here's hoping for better weather. On the bright side-I have tulips in the garden!!!

Say Hello to new your new sister!!!

Before I got my bike, Riggs was the only friend Tim's bike had.














Now she has a new friend to play with, and play she will. This is the beginning of a LONG relationship for these 2 Stroms. They'll see many roads together and get nice and dirty!!! This will probably be the cleanest she will ever be LOL

So far only 80km on her (raining today-want to keep her clean for at least one weekend LOL)
