hows that jetting now?she run crisper?

Looks more comfortable to ride now too mate.... ;)

You ever ride with those guys, Mick?  (I don't know how far the GC is from Bris)

Dave's about 40-45 minutes from me Steve, haven't ridden with them yet but its definitely on the cards.... ;) I visit Dave now and again and see the others at bike shows and little get togethers... ;)

Hey Mick,

Yes, definitely a lot more comfortable to ride. We should come up for a ride one day.

Druzli: When was that picture in Denmark taken?  It looks so spring-like and warm...certainly not dull and cold like it is here right now.

Good pictures, by the way! 8)

Druzli, I really like your bike too.  Did you make the seat cowling and upholstery?

Druzli, I really like to see these bikes loaded up and touring, it's inspiring.  My dad is from Denmark and my 'farmor' was from Randers, thanks for sharing your great pictures.

Took Olivia (cb550) down to Tim Horton's Bike night last Thursday. Decent turn out for being early in our riding season.

Raining today... But still had to head out'n pick up parts for the XT500 SuperMotard I'm building. Fenders or no fenders.... Olivia is a champ. :)

Here's a shot taken this morning. This is a look-out spot above Lompoc looking down on the fog in the valley below.
