Cheers Jim 76671[/snapback] Hi'ya l think that could be a blast you me steve G badmotgoozer beauchemin whidbeyrider rocketeer(a maybe as he's from thunder bay but is planning a trip down from the yukon this summer) there has to be at least 6 or more of us that could get together for this, and at the very least put a little "basso" in the proceedings at Lonsdale Quay Cheers van Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest george in vancouver Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Well you didn't miss a whole lot really. Only about 6 of the die-hards showed up with no bikes - pounding rain that it was. I see that Dec & Jan's rain total for Vancouver (YVR) was 426mm - that's nearly 17 inches - best part of a foot and a half of rain in 8 weeks! Jeez, scuba gear's starting to look more like the hot set-up for riding togs. Still, you don't have to shovel it .........

Still wish I had made it but will try hard for Feb. Van - there are another 3 V11's here in the Wak that will probably come along too. Methinks we should start setting a date so we can get our time off planned!! I'll probably start PM'ing soon to through out some ideas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helicopterjim R.I.P. Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 I like that idea. I'll spread the idea around the valley and see what comes up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve G. Posted February 3, 2006 Author Share Posted February 3, 2006 Gosh, I don't want to head out early from Italian Day. It's best to start for Winthrop no later than 10:00am. Ciao, Steve G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ciao, Steve G. 77044[/snapback] Then there's always the Moto International open house in late April via the scenic route. Sumas > Mt Baker back-way twisties > Hiway 9. Return via Chuckanut Dr. There's probably an opportunity to test drive a Breva 1100 & of course a shwack of Guzzis of every sort & description.
