On a steel horse I ride...

[CDNSushi]

Some of you may already know that I love my two-wheeled transport. Rode a lot while in Japan, so figured I'd feed my addiction in Canada too. Plus, motorcycles and scooters are ideal transport on the island! Year-round riding FTW! Shortly after moving back to Canada I bought this:

(Yamaha V Star 250)

Which is an amazing bike, and a lot of fun to ride. But I belong to a club who is having their big annual weekend-long bash (bender) waaaay up in Alberta, and I wasn't exactly looking forward to doing my imitation of a mosquito in the wind for 2 straight days from Victoria BC to Grande Cache AB. Also, when you get to about 90km/h or higher, the engine seems to rev really high and whine. I wanted something beefier, heavier, and more stable for the long trip. (And a bit of extra comfort wouldn't hurt either).

So I just pulled the trigger on my bike's big sister... The V Star 650 Classic. (In club colours too, I must add) Now I'm totally stoked and looking forward to the trip in July!



Added bonus: driveshaft instead of chain, and c/w windshield and saddlebags.

Ok. That's my news of the week, and show-and-tell. Your turn! What do you ride? Piccies, please! :-) Let's see some bike p0rn!
