Yeah, like the fellow said, " Vancouver is like heaven, only you don't have to die to get there.". If it weren't for snow making machinery there probably wouldn't be any Ski Hills South of Whistler. ( They would all have gone broke.)

Was up snowshoeing at both cypress and seymour in the last week. There is snow.. just not a ton of it. Thankfully nothing below the hills :rolleyes:

Took a bike for a rip in downtown Hanoi today, quite and different experience from riding in Canada, aside from being terrifying, it was a lot of fun.

I have been waiting for that, worth the wait.
A picture of the bike parked by an interesting landmark would be bonus. :smt041
They need to add a vintage bike show area to AirVenture.

So.... This happened...

I'll give a ride report once I get her serviced and on the the road. Side car is coming off initially, until I get my bike fix in... then it'll probably go back on. First Stop is Sapa in north Vietnam.

NICE! Reminds me of these guys.



Basically they ride in interesting places then try to cook local style food.

I think this is the long form of the Vietnam episode.

What are you using to take the pictures, lens, camera. They look awesome.

hmmm that was a couple years ago, but It would have been a D7000 and a 17-55mm 2.8, usually on a tripod and with a Circular polorizer and a 8 stop neutral density filter. Now I usually shoot with a little Fuji X100s, it blows my SLR out of the water for quality, and I love more then I will ever love a human child.

Here is my cousin riding some river trails somewhere in the region of Terrace.

Makes me feel like a teenager when dirt bikes consumed our thoughts all the time.

Wow, that's a big bike for those trails, I've always preferred smaller bikes for that sort of thing.

Got the Ural fully up and running without the sidecar this morning for a rip around the lake. The sound of the horizontally opposed twin reminds me of a 985... GIANT smile on my face: Old Bike that sounds like a beaver, stunning young lady on the back, and it's -24 back home. It's a tough life old boy, a tough life.

There is that saying about drinking whiskey older than your companion. Wonder if it transfers over to classic cars, planes, boats and motorcycles?

I liked riding 250cc dirt bikes best once I was too huge for my RM125. Have never tried his 650, someone in the comments said it was only 28 pounds heavier.
