    Default First ride of 2011.... March 13

    Considering the weather we have had I was shocked to be able to get out today. Rode to my parents house to deliver our wedding invitations.

    Just a couple things, make sure it is sunny when you go so that the water is actually water. Make sure to watch out for gravel and people. Be prepared to get wet.

    That being said I dont care and it made me 300x happier today after being at the car show.

    I saw a gold wing on Deerfoot on Sat. The guy was barely even dressed too.

    Details on your "storage insurance"?

    I was always under the impression that bikes had to be stored for a full year on the same policy you used while riding it.

    Storage insurance is through ICBC in Vancouver and approximately $50 per month if you want full coverage or $30 for three months with only liability coverage (which is required as a minimum if you live in a condo governed by Strata)

    I pay approx. $80 a month for basic coverage out here, so I never get coverage for the entire year... too expensive.

    It was SO much fun. Nothing crazy or anything like that, but just SO nice to be on the bike again.

    Yeah, there's quite a bit of gravel. Plus we have WAY more snow than you guys... It's gonna be a while before we can ride hard.

    I took my car out Friday and Saturday before the mass melt-off. The roads were really clean, so much fun. Did a cochrane run, and the car is still spotless. Parked it saturday before lunch and the roads got nasty dirt melt everywhere.

    And surprised nobody's asked yet... pics of the fiance?
