Hi all from the great white north. There seems to be a lack of forums based in Canada. I have learned a lot from this forum and would like to contribute something back.
Look forward to the future....lol
Cheers

Welcome aboard Classypete. Our daughter recently completed a trans-Canada riding trip - on her pushbike!

Hiya CP...
Happy to have you along for the ride. So where in Canada do you hail from??
I'm heading over there in a couple of weeks for a good long stint of skiing at Big white (BC near Kelowna).. go there most years and have just become the proud owner of a small condo. in the village.. Hearing from friends over there and also the daily weather reports I receive that they are having one of the best beginnings of a snow season for many years..
Very much looking forward to getting over there and to the cold - here currently we are in the midst of a 'heat wave' with many areas of Ausland suffering temps. well into the 40 deg c. mark..

Thank you all for the warm welcome. I live in Calgary Alberta, and we are having one of our "chinooks". A "chinook" is a unique weather pattern that warms us up and blows over anything that the wind can catch. The "chinook" can take the temp from -25 to +10 in a matter of hours. I have not been able to ride "Ethel" since the end of October. The bike is named "Ethel" due to my friends describing me as a silent streak when blasting past them on rides (the is a comedic song called "the streak").
My 2012 is pearl white with metallic flaking. I have removed the rear fender and added a compwerks eliminator (never again
), installed a intregrated tail light, flush mounted front signals, mirror extenders, delkevic down pipes with a 8" mini stainless, and went from a 18T to a 17T.
Future plans are to do dales stage two.

Small world Classypete. I was in the Aust Army many moons ago and we did a 3 month stint with a Canadian Forces Infantry mob (3PPCLI) out of Victoria on Vancover Island. We actually flew into Calgary (actually Banff) in a "Chinook" helicopter to do some white water rafting down the Kootenay River. Thems was fun times before they started sending us off to the two-way rifle ranges.

Thanks again for the welcomes....
The pics don't do the paint job justice, in the sun it just lights up.
A two way range could get interesting...lol. I'm glad you could come over and enjoy our parks.
