Man that was a long time away eh??

So what was it- 2016 for the last post? Lots has happened..
But its about the bikes here..
Motored or other... So

The Bonneville has gone.... I liked it a lot.. that said I was trying to turn it into a bike that it wasn't designed to be.. Theres only so much you can do before you say- ok enough is enough.. She went to a good home id like to believe (but to be honest, its probably a cafe racer now....sigh)

So what to replace her with.... well what I was trying to emulate...

BMW GSA F800

Best I can describe this bike as- Balanced.. Truly balanced in every sense. Bad roads are a comedy to this thing.. Kilmar....meh.. Rouge, childs play... To top it off (with all the farkles) the 24L fuel tank.. Finally, I'm limited to the capacity of my bladder..

As for Pedal bikes.. The Trance 2 went away and I picked up a Rocky Blizzard.. Simplicity at its finest and my go to bike... Shoulda fattied years ago! Making up for lost tie though.. Along with the fatty is a Salsa Timberjack.. Nice ride but having a hard time sorting my ergs.. May take some more rides... 

Van still around but added a North Shore Rack to carry those beasts.. Also it really is nice to have mine and my kids bikes out of the inside of the van...

More later- here's some pics..
