It’s been another cold winter here in Sioux City. For the last two winters we have not been able to do as much winter riding as we have in recent winters. We have had a lot of snow this year and my over-sized snow blower (thanks Steve B.) has been out more times than I care to remember.
In ’08 Leta got a new-to-her ’06 VFR Interceptor. Ryan sold us her Givi bags and we bought a Givi wingrack for it. She now has a sport touring bike and really is starting to like it. I’m going to look at finding some Heli bars and a bigger windshield for her over the next few months.
In October, I took possession of Randy R’s R1200GSA and how what a bike. It’s a challenging ride for those of us under 6’. The bike has about everything on it I will need including a new final drive, so I’m just looking at some additional RAM mounts for it and some lighting enhancements. I hope to have 4 HID lights on it by spring.
Plans for summer our summer rides coming along. It looks like the BMW national in Johnson City, TN is probably out. We are finally talking seriously about a trip down the Canadian Rockies (Jasper, Banff, Glacier, Yellowstone etc). Dave W. from Fargo and Shannon are also interested. We may even have a chase car for the very first time on one of our motorcycle vacations. I’m also thinking again about some 12 and 24 hour road rallies, the GLMC.org grand tour again and a lot more local camping.
Details for the ’09 tour are here
