First Ride of 2017

The weather here in Manitoba finally broke away from that damn Polar Vortex. Temp today reached -4 c. (That's what? 24-25 F ?)

Anyway, took her out for a run. Actually, when dressed for it, it wasn't terrible. Touchy as all hell in town due to the packed snow & ice, but out on the highway it is bare and dry, so got to open her right up Even managed to find my dealer in town out riding their snowmobiles. Didn't see them, but snapped the pic and posted it to their Facebook just for kicks, lol.

It was a short run, but had a blast. It is supposed to get warmer this week and I may just take a trip into the city for a coffee Lord knows she turns heads already, but that should get some real attention, lol

lol, I "resisted the urge to go out when it was -40, which is the "great equalizer". Fahrenheit or Celsius, they're the same ..... F'in cold

HELL NO!!!! This dog don't do road salt dust!!!!!!!

See up here, during the winter months themselves, our Highways Dept only uses sand. Later in the spring, and we have more issues with Ice, they'll use salt. But not in the dead of winter itself.

Although in the cities themselves, salt is used because they forget how to drive in there, lol

All but the damn bright sun!

I hear there is a top out there somewhere to help with that

So, my day today!!

Took her out on a day off today. Weather has changed dramatically in the past week. Temps have been between -3 to +5 Celsius all day today. (26 to 41 Fahrenheit)

Took the Sling out on a proper run. 2.5 hours and had a blast the entire way!!

Turned many heads and a lot of Semi's leaned on their air horns to say hi

Even managed to find this little fella sitting all alone on a railway crossing. Had to spin around and take a pic.
