Grasshopper Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Went for a great ride yesterday on Charlotte, my Honda. Took one of my favourite routes around a bunch of lakes with lots of twisty corners. It was on of those days where every corner feels just right and you feel one with the bike. That might be a bit to philosophical for some.....but that's the way I roll..... This trip was for a few reasons, one, to take a nice ride and enjoy a break at the lake in the sun, but also to scope out boat launch sites. There might be a watercraft in my future, besides with all these lakes in my backyard it would be a shame not to enjoy them. Grasshopper's don't swim so well, but they do float. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now the forest fires have started around the province. It was hardest to watch our old dog suffer through the heat, but we made it and now the temps are more seasonal, but still on the high side. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Have you got cooling mats? I used to have two, one in the freezer and one in use, with a blanket over it because it’s definitely too icy or the olduns otherwise Three of mine loved it the other two didnt care for it so it might be a hit or miss thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
