Cold lake Alberta
Decided last Fri to make the trek out to Kamloops BC a week early for the new Vision!
Left Sat am at o dark 5:00 for a 12 hour run across Alberta , thru the Rockies to the other side. Kamloops BC.

Well all went well for the first 1/2 of the trip, the second half was pure Rocky Mountain winter snow storm, all the fun and then some hauling a trailer thru the highest point in the CDN Rockies . Arrived 15 1/2 hours after we left home. Got a nice clean but cheap motel and enjoyed the +1 C temps while locked in with the cloud cover.

Next morning did all the paperwork & $$, loaded and locked down the bike and headed home. 20 Minutes later light snow was falling and then it hit like crazy. I was hoping to be through the mountains by night fall but this far north and snowing, nightfall came early and with a vengance! It tooks way too may hours to get to Jasper and then Hinton. We had a break in Edmonton for an hour while we crossed to the east side towards home.

Finally arrived at hoe at 03:30..I am only 51 but getting too old for driving Marathons in Mountain storms!

SHe's home tucked away, surrounded by boxes of luggage rack, backrests and goodies while I wait the arrival of my new gloss black powder coated upper and lower deflectors and I am ordering a nice dark Cee Baileys windshield also. LAst item will be taking off the rear tip overs for some nice gloss black paint!

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good ride!

Not sure how to att pics....

Hey salty congrats on the new Vision and would love to see. If you can, take a photo you have and save a copy, like SaltyVisionBsmall.jpg. Edit the saved picture to get it down to 60kb or smaller, then you can post it here. Use the "attach a file after posting" feature to upload the photo. Got to see it...
