Greg... Did summer go by any faster this year with that new Rocket of yours? 
Sure did Keith. It was one of the wettest and coldest summers I can remember but still managed to put around 9000kms on the beast.
Talking about riding in the rain, this bike demands a subtle touch. I purposely upshift early when it's wet and even doing that, I almost lost it trying to gingerly accelerate in 2nd when the bike spun out on wet pavement. Kept my head after having the back end swing back and forth. You really have to watch you don't grab too much throttle especially in the turns.
Some pics of our last trip a couple of weeks ago. Timmins to the Watershed (1/2 way between Timmins and Sudbury). Then travelled east to Gowganda, Elk Lake, Mattachewan, Kirkland Lake, then back to Timmins.
