Had the bike out for 1 1/2 hours this afternoon. Soaked in that southern Ontario sunshine and rode all over Kitchener/waterloo region. Stayed mostly on the highway since the city streets are full of road marbles and water. went past a cop on highway 7/8 doing bout 160 km/hr http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/flipa.gif.....needless to say made a quick exit on the next highway exit and did the dissapearing act http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif. Spring is here baby! http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif

I hear you!
I rode up to Huntsville and back today on 11. Not an exciting ride by summer standards, but I thoroughly enjoyed it!

I spent the day cleaning the bike up, can't wait to get it back on the road again. *sigh* Only problem is that I have to wait for all the snow in my back yard to disappear before hauling her out ... 200+ foot lot with 2 feet of snow all the way to the front is not cool. But I did get the chain all scrubbed out, lubed it up and put a nice new wax job on the bike. Just gotta get an oil change and that's it...
Where in Waterloo are you from? I work over at Research In Motion on Philip st where there are about another 10-15 riders that all hang together...we should hook up sometime if ya want!

yep, sunday is looking like the only hope this weekend. The only good thing about the rain is that hopefully it will come down hard and wash all of the shit off the roads http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif. Going to the bike shop this weekend to get my oil change supplies.

First ride of the season for me today too!. Just long enough to warm up the oil and come home to change it. About 30kms. It was a blast!

I must be sick in the head.. I am one of those mental guys who has riden 4 days alread.. I even rode Friday afternoon in the rain from St. Catharines to Oakville... I did that cause I knew that if I didn't get it into my buddies cycle shop then I would never do it to get the carbs set up right ...
it wasn't to bad though .. only my shoulders got wet.. need to make gloves though like snowmobiles .. with a wiper in the index finger..
