Out riding


My BFF Kiwi Deb and I took to 2 wheels and went riding for a couple of days. Of course we stopped at most of thr bike shops on the island to browse whats new and look for gear.   Deb is trying to find wsys to make her CTX more comfortable and it nay actually mean a new bike altogether due to the peg forward peg position, which is making her reach too much & hurting her back and knees.  So the quest continues on the comfort front.
Saw this MV Agusta Rivale, pretty bike, but its not on my list. 


 We stopped and had lunch in Port Alberni, a very hearty and delicious halibut and chips, needless to say I was too full for dinner.  Then it was onto Cathedral Grove to walk amongst  the old growth forest. It is so beautiful in there. 




The trees were so tall I couldb't fit th into my camera.


After that we headed off to Qualicum Beach in search of icecream, it was blistering hot.
Very refreshing!

It was a beautiful summer day on the island.

Today we are out and about again to wherever the wind blows us.

Glad you are out on two wheels and having fun, hope the weather cooled off a bit.

That MV Agusta is beautiful and a 3 cylinder, upright, comes with hand guards..........

Shybiker - you are so right! Cobwebs cleared and heart singing!

Richard - well it sort of is on my list! If I could I think I'd have multiple bikes!

Trobaoritz - this is the 2nd MV Agusta I've seen on the Island. It has coolled off dramatically, its cloudy and only 13C here today about a 17c degree drop from last weeks high temperatures.
