March 20, 2011 - First day of Spring

What a great day!  It seemed every biker was on the rode today.

We went to the Motorcycle Swap Meet at the Agrodome.   Interesting.  Not sure I have ever been around that many ``Bikers`` before.  We had a quick look and left.  We saw nothing that interested us.

It was close to lunch so we headed to our favorite downtown lunch place.  Scoozies!  The best Chicken Rice soup ever.

After lunch, our plan was to head to and around Stanley park but there was insane traffic downtown and on Georgia. We found out later there was a St. Patricks Day parade.

We altered our plans and just head east out of the city.  We dropped in at Trev Deeley.   Our whole outing was to look for chaps, HD ones are WAY to expensive!  so we thought we would try Louie's leather in Maple Ridge.  We headed out the freeway, not my favorite place but I have to get used to riding the freeway, so....

There were no chaps at Louie's.  It seems he took them all to the swap meet.  How did we miss that!!

Oh well, the day was beautiful and the roads were good.  We saw lots of friendly riders on the road and we enjoyed our day.

Heading home...

March 6, 2011

Beautifully sunny and highs of 6
Sounds like a great day for a winter ride!

Mike heads to Starbucks for coffee with the Sunday gang while I pick up Rebecca from work before I can join them. The hope is there will be a few bikes planning on heading out.

I head out to meet the group for breakfast and after a filling meal of bacon and eggs, it is only Mike and me riding.

We head out the Lougheed to the Golden Ears over to Langley and head in to Cloverdale. We were thinking we would check out Stampede Feed and Tack (they sell Biker stuff too) for chaps. They were closed. :-(
We decided to head to Stevenston. We headed to River Road and toward the tunnel. It was odd for me riding over that way - toward Rich and Colleens and not dropping by their house but I suspect the new owners may not be impressed with a couple of leather clad bikers pulling up in the drive way.

We stop at Garry Point and grab a couple of bottles of water and sit and enjoy the view. Now here is the odd part - it was warmer on the bikes at 60-80Kms that sitting at Garry Point. But what a beautiful day!!!!

My riding partner :-)


After a short rest we decided it was best to get back on the bikes and head toward home.

We did not see many other bikes out today but saw enough to let us know we weren't the only ones. I can`t wait until it warms up and we don't have to be quite so bundled up.

Today's ride was about 80km (my trip odometer reset it self half way through) We were out for about 3 hours, not including breakfast.

Man we got some nice bikes

till next ride!
