Sounds good. I'm not sure exactly when I'll be up this weekend, but we'll make something work out.

I was hoping to have heard back from Snowking by now about that 351 engine as well.

Driving up to Saskatoon is always such a chore for me haha... I've done it too many times...

I often try to re-count the teleposts just for something to do because I've seen the scenery that many times...

I despise driving almost everywhere in south-central Saskatchewan. Too flat, too plain, too straight... Jeepers... there are a few locations with some character, but they're few and far between...

couldn't have said it better myself. I've driven all around southern saskatchewan countless times...

It really starts to bore after the first three, let alone the next hundred lol.

I`d sooner drive north than south of Saskatoon, I love looking at trees and a few hills alot more than boring flat land.

I've had my bike out for a while now! How come you're just getting yours licensed now??

There have beens lots of nice days of riding weather!

And I wish I could go look for another bike... I needs an upgrade, but the school budget won't allow it!

Lol, I guess that sounds abour right there Morris.

With the lack of nice weather, every chance I get to ride, it seems there is something else important I need to do while it's still nice out!

I'm hoping I can get a hold of snowking somehow so I can let you know if and when I'll be coming up to stoon.

Still no word from anyone but yourself, so it's looking grim so far..

I can justify upgrading my enduro cause its from 1984, but I kinda like the ol thing!

Just got it plated cause i have a road test booked in a few weeks, and figure i might as well get a little riding in before hand!

Ahhhh, the ol' road test.

Lol, I can't really say that with a straight face, cause I just took it last year hahaha.

It's sooooooo easy though. I could have done it with my eyes closed! Not that I can drive my motorcycle with my eyes closed, but it was just that easy!

And yeah, an enduro bike would be nice. I'm currently running "the learner" as I call it...

2008 Honda CBR... now for the part I hate... 125R

Aaron, a 125 is better then no bike at all! I gotta tell ya though, that might be too small for me. Sometimes it seems like my 600 xt is small, but it does push my 6'2 240lb frame around, and I can do 130 on it!

Very true, and it does get 90+ mpg in the city...

The only thing I don't like is not being able to keep up with traffic in the wind hahahaha. My bike maxes out at 100 km/hr against the wind and 110 with the wind.

I'm 6'0, 210 lbs.

It's just a bit too small for me I think. The bike I really want is around 600-750 cc's, in that mid range.

I must admit, $8.00 for three weeks of fuel is VERY nice.

And I can get 350 kms out of a sinlge 5 litre tank hahahaha. I laugh each time I fill up.

Thats amazing fuel mileage! I doubt mine gets anywheres near that but it does do pretty well. I also live on gravel so I really enjoy the dual sports. Last year i was looking for a ktm 950 super enduro, but since then I ended up blowing a buncha cash on paying off some land, so that is on hold... for now!

I love biking as well, man I cannot wait till after Im done "working"!
