I found the site for your event...

http://cruise-in.northernstarsrider.ca/index.php

Looks like a cool thing. Looks like they plan to take in the 5A on a ride,
that's a nice stretch.

There is a road you might want to check out if you are in Kamloops and
heading in an Okanagan direction.

It's a great little road with zero traffic, winds its way thru farmlands,
starts just east of Kamloops and pops out just north of Monte Lake, and
gets you off the #1.

Kinda hard to find from the Kamloops side, we use the 1st Petrocan E of
Kamloops as a turnoff, you go thru a residential area for a few blocks, then
turns into this little jewel.

It's in your Destinations Hwys book...

Cheers

That is good to hear, the time warp I mean. So many places are ruined by
"progress". Even though I no longer live in New England, my sister still
does and my neighbor goes home to western MA every year.

It is too bad all the dinky ski areas are gone though. That was some good
times back when I was in college.

Does this make you a Gixxer Chixxer?
The MC equivalent of the Dixie Chicks....or something.

I want one , too. But I think I want one that's all red, so I guess I'll
keep looking for a 916.

I like a road that is comfortable in 3rd gear and is never straight
and level. I prefer smooth surface to rough. I like steep leans at
low speed on the curves.

A good view is a nice idea. There aren't many good views in my
immediate area though.

Sounds like he's trying to pickup a date! Perhaps he's on the "down low"?
