First ride of 2013

Took the old DR650 out for the first ride of 2013 today. Not much of a ride - went to Metropolitan Moose for a cup of tea, then to the lookout 6 km west of Kakabeka ( near Mokomon Rd), then home to Murillo. The temp was okay but 60 km/h winds made it somewhat unpleasant, and led to some drifting snow across Oliver road. But it still felt good to be out riding.

I walked out to the garage and put the new insurance slips on all the bikes. Far enough for me.

With all the bikes you have, in Manitoba you would have needed to take out a second mortgage to pay for it.

Awe shit I may have opened that can of worms again. SORRY.

Riding yesterday, shovelling the hockey rink at Pass Lake today....that wicked wind created perfect igloo-building snow. Hekto, we're waiting for a photo of a KLR or Sherpa parked in front of an igloo!
