Greetings to all. It's been a while during my job change and some travelling to get set up. On a happy note the weather in Calgary is expected to be in the 20s this weekend, high60sF, and my maintenance is complete. I'm working on the mounting rack for the new GIVI bags when I'm not trying to get the yard work done. Sorry Grant... no prototype yet. Hopefully by the end of the month. I took some advice from Roger and mounted a set of Michelin Macadams on the GTS. Nice tire. I've already worn the soles on my boots, a task that made me nervous in the past. The highway ride is fantastic. No more washing in the high speed corners. I hope to get them out in the mountains this weekend and give them a real run. I'll let you all know. Anyways. Thanks Roger. J
