Will be interested what he thinks about it. The Scouts look absolutely gorgeous. 

Imagine it's for bopping about the city, or is he thinking of doing some trips?

Day trips, mostly.  I think his motorcycle tripping days are over.  He lives rural NB near the coast, so tons of stellar riding out his way.

Good on him. When I  am his age I will most likely be on a trail 125. Light and manageable.

And a 150 XC-W for the woods!

The Maritimes looks like a great place to retire as a motorcyclist. Coming from the prairies, when I hit S. Ontario and the Maritimes with my bike I thought, yeah, this is motorcycle country. So many scenic windy roads, a longer season, and traffic didn't seem to be nearly as heavy

He's a young looking 76, looks like he is doing well

I'm surprised either are still in business with those withering segments of the motorcycle industry.

They're a tshirt/wallet/belt/jacket company that sometimes sells trikes to 85 year old fans of Easy Rider.....

I'd rock that right freaking now.

Was able to take advantage of some glorious fall weather and pound out some single track mileage solo this morning. This bike is so good in the woods it is ridiculous, it's like cheating.

[PJungnitsch]

Nice! Beauty of a fall so far, even the smoke hasn't been as bad as expected

[HeliDriver]

Yeah, that looks great.

I’m stuck up north in the rain and smoke for another week. Really hoping for another few weeks of nice fall weather when I get home. Haven’t ridden the dirt bike once this season. 

[bridgecity]

Same here Heli (not stuck up north, but haven't ridden).  I'm hoping to get out yet this fall.

Looks great KTM, glad to hear you're loving it.

Middle of nowhere Saskatchewan. 30 miles NW of Points North Landing.

Hay River sure has had a tough summer. Hope your shop and people up there are doing ok.

Met a filing deadline a day early, so I was able to take the day off Friday and joing a small group ride from Oakville to Port Dover.  Lead rider set a brisk pace, which I quit eenjoyed.  Nice beach there and good food too.

Ran into a massive delay on the return leg, when Hwy 6 was shut down both ways for some massive piece of construction equipment to be hauled onto a work site.  Kickstands down and off the bike for nearly 40 min.  At least I had company.

Weather looks great! Funny to see the palm trees

Perfect riding weather - about 20 degrees.  And yeah, everyone was looking at the palm trees like, huh?

First ride of the year with snow on the ground. Albeit in the mountains but as they say: Winter is coming..

Off road and the ground isn't frozen so not bad. Need to decide if I'll ride this winter on studs. Usually I don't bother and just ski and just do a couple trips south.

Supposed to be an El Niño year. Skiing could be kinda shitty. 

[ktm525]

Yeah that fact has me considering some new friction tires.. Lets see what pans out.

Still too early for me to even be contemplating snow.  Though for me the riding season ends before the snow flies.  By the time the temps drop to mid single digits, I'm out.
