Fall is my favorite time of the year, it's vest weather!
A few of us got out on Saturday for the afternoon, absolutely perfect weather for a ride.
I don't have anywhere nears the miles as I typically do in a season, but I'm hoping it's not over yet. The FXRG riding gear typically gives me a few extra weeks.

Our route took us from Edm to Revy for night 1. Then we went south to Cranbrook for night 2. Then back into AB through the crowsnest and the final night in Drumheller. Only had a small skiff of mist to deal with and over 25c in BC the whole time.
Next year will be the same route plus an extra day with the wives.

I run a 2013 Victory Vegas 8 Ball. Best bike I’ve ever owned. Looking at adding a Cross Country to the stable next year.

Lol. Actually that load was really light was maybe a 100lbs at most. Just looks like a lot of stuff due to the sleeping bag.

Thanks. Best bike I’ve ever owned. I only just got back into riding last year after a 20 year hiatus from it. When my daughter passed away last year I needed an outlet, this bike is my therapy.

So sorry to hear of your loss....your right the bike is therapy for me too...I got no music etc just the thoughts in my head, smile on my face, sound of the bike and the open road...simple therapy....hard to explain if you don't ride but once you do then you will get it.

Best therapy money can buy. I use ear buds for music but keep it low, what I get a kick out of is the guys that buy the new harleys only to ride them to Tim hortons on why’re ave while dressed like Ajax teller from sons of anarchy lol
