Wednesday morning and woke to yet another huge blue sky over Regina SK. Weather has been great the last week and the forecast in Western Canada for the next week is sun. Sitting on top of a 1200 fully kitted out and weighing in at around 300kg...you sweat a bit ! Still...way better then riding in the driving rain we got in Vermont.
Ride 5 hours or so to Medicine Hat today then on to Calgary tomorrow. Spending the weekend with a great friend of mine, Kim. Not sure she's going to be prepared for 2 smelly bikers arriving at the house. If she has any sense we'll be confined to the garage!
Bikes have been running great. Burning a little oil as expected but not excessive. We've both had false alarms from the tyre pressure sensors. Irritating and a little disturbing when it happens at 70mph. We've done around 4000 miles on the trip so far so they need a service and are booked in to BMW in Calgary. Most pressing need is for 2 new sets of tyres. With all the straight roads the last 10 days we've flattend the tread out. They look more like car tyres now !
Need to get on with the morning pack. I might even figure out how to publish today's pics when we reach the hotel tonight...bye for now.

Hi John & George, very intriguing views being gleaned from your blog(s)? over here. Could there be a t.v. travel show in the making, "THE SCARY BIKERS"? Have there been any sightings yet of a moose or do canadian meece look the same as european rodents. Are there any oirish angles to your surroundings, other than maybe whiskies. Keep up the sufferings of partaking of local "flavours". Talk soon M.T.
