Happy Bought Day to you, Happy Bought Day to you....
« on: May 13, 2007, 07:33:31 PM »
It's a year ago today that I was introduced to the joys of sohc ownership. Bought Sophie and rode her home over the mountains..... We've done 9,710km together in that time and I like her more every time I ride her!

Bought her in Abbotsford and rode the Coquihalla Highway to Kamloops, which would be the Coast Mountains, highest elevation 1400 metres. About 300 kms.

       Nick,
     
             Sophie is definitely one class act and a very hard one to follow. ;) 8) Happy Birthday to her and Congratulations to you! I'm sure you 2 will have plenty more miles, er kilometers together.

                                                      Later on, Bill :) ;)
