    Step up, BC riders!

    Sorry, somehow I missed your post. I mighta been able to make it. Next time. How's the rad guard working out? I was considering one too for my camping trips.

    Step up, BC riders!

    So, since I'm new out here, and based on where everyone is from, any suggestions on a meet spot that would be somewhat central to all? Be nice to set something up in the next couple of weeks I think.

    Corbin

    Got mine last week. Nothing but the saddle. No hardware or instructions. Seat looks good, but I'm still breaking it in and deciding how to get the best fit. Not sure whether I like it yet, but I think it is better than stock, just perhaps not as good as expected. But I do understand the...

    We're all in BC here, but there is a page for Sask. Dunno if you'll get any action there. Good luck!

    Step up, BC riders!

    Fridays are good for sure. Often have stuff with the family on weekends. I just have to get spring service and I'll be ready to roll. Insurance out here is killing me. Much more expensive than Ontario. Are there folks who are up for week-day rides? I can do the odd weekend, but I can make...

    Way cool review of FZ8!

    The feulling will come with time and i'm sure will be a simple reflash for exisiting owners. They could have done better on the susp.

    Ha! I'm an old fart too, but i do some freelancing for Motorcycle Mojo so I'm always sniffing around for story ideas. Coffee sounds good. I just got my insurance on Monday so when you're ready, just lemme know. Is Hope out past Abbotsford? That's as far east as i've been (for the bike show).

    This is why i don't have a Harley. I just can't make that kind of lifestyle committment.

    That'd be great. Maybe you can give me the lowdown on the local scene. Maybe a coffee sometime? I'm in north van.

    Great! Anyone ever get together or anything? I'm still fairly new to the province and looking for advice on routes, hanging out once in a while, maybe even some camping advice. Thx.

    can a FZ8 have full fairing for touring ?

    I think it depends on the climate you live in. Here, rain and low temps are a reality for about half the year, so the fairing (and my Givi touring windscreen) are welcome additions. As are heated grips. Just need a better seat.
