Banff
Hey everyone, haven't posted anything for a little while. Too busy riding the DRZ, finally the cold wet spring seems to be behind us and summer is here.
![]() On Canada day my buddy Moto (his real name) and I rode out to Banff. I made video of it which you can see here:

Here's an interesting story that says a lot about his character: After a long day out on the road we hit the pub in Calgary for some much needed refreshments, and I ordered a Greek salad with the "dressing on the side". The reason being, I am fat enough as it is and I find they always put too much on anyway. Well a couple of days later I came into the Sushi place where Moto works and ordered lunch which included a salad that normally comes with dressing on it.....only this time the dressing was on the side! ![]()

Thanks for posting the link to the nice video, McKonker! Indeed, Moto seems to be a great riding companion.

I miss that area terribly.
You've got a riding buddy that works at a Sushi place? Good deal! ![]()

Would love to but my single pa status keeps me pretty much rooted home when I'm not working. I would love to spend a day or two riding the highway between Jasper and Banff through the mountains, did it in a car but it's just not the same as on a bike
