First ride of the season
Beautiful here in Stony Plain on Saturday, 15C, so I took the bike into Edmonton when I went to the gym. Though the parking lots and turns are still full of pee gravel, the majority of the roads were quite good. Nice first ride listening to tunes, burning out the mixed fuel in the tank with the stabilizer still in it and thoughts of a great season ahead.
Ride safe everyone. Kevin

I've been out on a couple rides already this year, last Sunday (250 km) and yesterday (350 km).
Fortunately, we've had very little snow in Southern Alberta so there isn't nearly as much sand and gravel on the roads as most years. Still, one does have to be careful. Weather forecast for the coming week is not so nice so it might be a week or so until a guy can get out again.

I was out on friday for the first time. Same thing; running the mixture out of the tank and putting fresh fuel in there. Beautiful day and no wind!

Good for you Kevin ...I just got back from a trip to the coast [in the truck] and cant wait to fire up the Nomad. But that might be a while yet ..Judy and I are headed to Calgary in the "new" truck to get the "new" travel trailer and a trip south to new mexico, AZ, and back up the Oregon coast.
