    Default Spring is finally in Saskatchewan!

    She started right up after 7+ months of being parked so I took the RT out of hibernation for a quick run today. Only did 42 km but clicked through 28,000 km on the odometer in the process -- not bad for a 2010 RT that I only got in early September of that year -- and having maybe 5 months of riding in a good season. Adding in the GS I had before, that's about 43,000 km since 2009.

    The RT has been flawless other than needing a rear tire and a front right tire (seems there's an alignment issue so it wore fast) -- which I ordered today.

    I only have one longer trip planned so far this year.but guess I'd better start planning!

    I know the feeling! Seems like we went straight from winter to summer here! Did all my pre-season maintenance and should be ready for the first ride!
