Yeah - I put over 10k on that bike with zero issues. It was supposed to be my forever vehicle. I still have no idea why it did it. I was going 70km/h (luckily not at full highway speed) and all of a sudden boom. Locked front tire and ass over :censor:. Then (probably stupidly) I rode it all twisted up to the hospital. Issue did not re-occur. It really bothers me to not know the why. Sold the bike as is as a fixer up with all that disclosed to a mechanic so I got very little for it. I guess it was lucky it was not expensive to being with. It has fully healed I think but a few extra lumps in the shoulder from the plate. Sometimes bothers me but less and less.

Ouch. I certainly don't blame you for not wanting to be on a bike again after that. Heck I managed to talk myself out of riding a few times without any traumatic experiences.

I hope a really long time. I plan to do as many road trips as I can this summer. Should be reliable if not roomy.

Picked up my car yesterday and drove home (500+ kms from Edmonton). Dealership was a little unprepared despite setting up appointment. Car drives as new. Only 15k kms on it. So that is good.





There was a pile of bugs that hatched into ridge of the trunk. They then covered the rest of the car. So I keep the top on despite the warm weather since I did not want them spreading. Hoped they would all go away on the highway.



Two tone interior of the GT.







Car runs and drives great. I have to get used to all the fancy gadgets on it. A little noisier than I thought on the highway (tires I think).

It snowed today and is expected to be cold all week now.  ;D

Cool interior.

You certainly got lucky with the weather, just about got hit with the 'Red Deer weather experience'

Can't imagine that would have been fun in a MX-5
