Dang, Gordie! Your timing is TERRIBLE!!!

I was in Kelowna just last week, and IF you would have purchased that sharp lookin' baby at THAT time, then I COULD have ridden it over to ya, dude!

(...and I wouldn't have charged ya one little cent, Canadian OR American for the "bother"!!!)


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Congratulations Gordie. Great looking ride!

Is that pavement below the bike???? Haven't seen any for so many months can't remember what it looks like. Expecting more snow tonight. Still waiting for some good weather so I can pick up my Rocket for the ride home. Maybe in a couple of months. This is nuts.....

That would have been interesting through the snow, sub-zero temps, black ice, fog, sand and gravel up there on those passes. But it does give ME an idea. Gordie, I'LL bring 'er down to ya just as soon as weather permits. Won't be too long!!

That's one of the best Storm pics I've seen yet. Nice shot of a fine Brit motorbike!
