Thanks fellas, really getting a kick out of riding the bike around. Had a birthday recently and hopefully managed to scrape up enough contributions towards some Progressive rear shocks. As the bike is now the ride is somewhat firm (i.e. rock solid) - hoping the Progressives will dampen the damage these shitty Montreal roads are doing to my spinal column.
Crazy storm blew through MTL yesterday - some are saying a tornado touched down - and wreaked havoc to both the natural and manmade world. So hoping to dust Rhonda down and take her out for a blatt out into the hills.

That's the triple truth Ruth. Swear to God never seen roads like these. Weather my ass. A few miles down the road and their tarmac is smooth as a freshly buttered bannister and it's even colder there in the winter.
Love it down in the townships - there's a road a buddy and I always take through Frelighsburgh and Pigeon Hill that's an absolute joy. With a stop in Dunham for an excellent craft beer hooray
Thanks man, I really appreciate that. Ton of fun to build, ton of fun to ride. Definitely need some better shocks, hope to be picking up the Progressive's this week. Then make the most of the rest of the "summer" - get some decent rides in before the weather takes a header.
Sounds like a plan. I may end up in MTL with 2 wheels mid week second week of Sep. A buddy from work has to go for business and asked me if I wanted to tag along and we'd ride instead of him driving. If the weather is going to cooperate, I'll txt you.
Do that mate, although I'm going back to the UK on the 12th for a long overdue visit so might not be in town. Drop me a line when you think you'll be here and we'll see what gives.
Had a great weekend - me and the missus drove up to a tiny little place south of Quebec City to go and check out a '77 Kawasaki KZ1000 and we'll whaddya know I bought it and rode the thing back to MTL with a huge grin on my face. Great story too, even better over a few beers! Here's the old girl -
Nice, glad you got her and she made it back to MTL without worries. Looking forward to seeing what you make of her. I am not sure it may be next week he goes. Needless to say I will have free time on that trip as I will be taking a day or 2 off work.
Picked up my new Progressive Series 12 shocks and installed them on the bike today, makes a world of difference. Seat is still a little firm but I'm going to soften that up with some different foam once the riding season draws to a close.
Somehow didn't feel quite right - now that she's BOTM and everything - not to have reached that vaunted milestone while she's still gracing the banner across this forum. Well I put that squarely to rights this afternoon, barrelled down a gorgeous stretch of asphalt and sailed past 100mph.
