A Winter Whallop

[Qship]

Enjoy your visit. 6 weeks in Florida sounds like a lot of fun.
Maybe Son in law will let you ride the "LT". Then you'll be ruined
Say "Hi" to Carl for us.

Will do!! The LT is a bit more than I like these days, spinal stenosis and arthritis make me like lighter bikes. As long as the Bonnie and I can "motivate", I'll stay happy.

Reviving this old thread.
Winter is back with a vengeance! DAMMIT!
15-20 cms today, more Wednesday and Friday.
90-95% had already melted.
I even took the Bird off it's stand and put the battery in and fired it up.
ARRRRRRRRGGGGHH.

Having just seen this thread reminds me of the pictures my partner Andrea is always showing me from friends and family in Canada!
She is from Sault Ste.Marie and threatening to bring me over soon.
Looks beautiful but at the moment my aching bones prefer Portugal haha.

It's easy for us over this side of the pond who don't have to put up with all that snow every year, but when it thaws, Canada shines in all it's stunning glory,

I rest my case.

 

[Baldeagle]

Just beautiful,of course my post was tongue in cheek.I am really looking forward to going,the pictures her family send are amazing,we have only been together a few years and met in France,moved home twice since we met so will be a wonderful trip when we do go.

We got lucky here on the coast with some snow, but that soon turned to rain and washed most of it away.
There is still a little snow around, but the sidewalks and streets are clear and dry.

The photo above posted by MOT is Moraine Lake in the Valley of Ten Peaks in the Canadian Rocky Mountains and is one of the most beautiful places I have visited.
When I did the motorcycle tour of the Rockies in 2010 we stayed at the lodge at the lake.
This is my own picture of the lake. Thanks for the reminder and the memories MOT

 

[DRod]

that is simply breathtaking!

 

[triumph david]

MOT, that is a beautiful picture!

 

[Mad On Triumphs]

If only I'd taken that, I've been to Canada a few times, the wife and I did an 8265 mile tour of the west coast of Canada and the US back in 95, I have lots of pictures but nothing that comes close to the quality of that one, or Rocky's either. Will be booking up for Sturgis in August, we're planing a east - west - east coast tour and Alaska as well. I just hope that when I get back Dave will increase the capacity of the forum to take all my photo's that I'm planning to take

Rocky----we got the tail of that front----it was 49 here the other night!!!!! I damn near FROZE!

MOT.......looking forward to the trip!!!! good to see it "fleshing out"

YOur gonna LOVE the Alaska cruise if you can do it......one of the best trips of my life was the Inner Passage cruise out of Seattle.

MOT.................HAVE THE "TIME OF YOUR LIVES"!! JIM

Alaska is fantastic, 4 friends and i were flown into the interior and dropped off for a week of salmon fishing. Talking about a great trip, and the fishing unbeatable, one of the greatest things was no tv, radio, noise of any type other than nature [ we did have emergency communication ], had to carry a large cab. hand gun or rifle with us at all times and use the buddy system wherever we went. One of the best weeks of my life, wish i were still up there in the woods.

 

[Mad On Triumphs]

TD this wasn't you on your trip was it ?

It will be great to be able to meet up at the Ace Cafe in Orlando ( With a few of you over the pond, when it's finally built ) and have some good old

and a

Then just relax

 

[triumph david]

Thats what i looked like during trick or treat last year.

 

[Mad On Triumphs]

I bet they gave you the sweets then.
