Well finally after SPYDEE being in the shop for warranty work and a rear end accident, this weekend will be the first road trip of length. Going to Jasper ( mountains ) and then head east down the ice fields parkway ( Banff ) and then north east towards home. Will be an overnighter with tent included. Weather forecast is looking awesome for the weekend. Am really looking forward to this . Should be about 900-1000 km total. Unfortunately camera no good so no pics, however will post an update when back. Hope all goes well....:yes:

Arrived Alive, thanks. Was a very wonderfull trip. Most of all the SPYDER, performed PERFECTLY ( 956km ) round trip after having some accident issues and other mechanical problems. The scenery was awesome, the people friendly both on the road and at the campsite , the drive hilarious as I passed the hell bent crotch rocket riders waiting for the massive speeding ticket, if they did not get towed for dangerous driving. Temp registered on the SPYDEE 28c on the hiway, approaching the Columbia icefield dropped to 19c and in the campground this morning 10c. Felt bad for the lady pulling into the site last night driving something similar to a suzuki 650 burgman. She pulled into her site with a bunch of people, stopped on a small stump and over she went , bike and all. We rushed over to rescue her and machine, everything ok, but PRIDE REALLY HURT. Sorry no pics available but was a GREAT TRIP. Thanks.:2thumbs:
