Hello live in Alberta Canada and enjoy travelling via motorcycle. Currently ride a 2013 Suzuki DL650A Adv model. Long time motorcyclist, having ridden for approx. 40 yrs, worked previously as a MSF instructor, owned gold wings, Harleys, BMW and just recently downsized to a lighter bike.

We usually have room for a couple of folks if you are passing through. Just check ahead.

Our current location is Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada.

I apologize for posting this late as I joined the group in Mar/2013 but have had a busy year with family issues, so just got around to posting.

Welcome cycleman!

Lethbridge is a convenient location to live in, close to Waterton and Glacier and some great riding. Hope to see you on the road or at an HU meeting sometime. It's a nice rip over to Nakusp on the Crowsnest as you know and the Canada West meeting is in August every year which is good place to catch up with a bunch of fellow bikers.

You're right Lethbridge is a good location for bike riding, close to many good rides for day trips. Our only issue is the wind, but then we can't have everything. We moved here about 3 yrs ago, coming from flat Sasktachewan.

Been out through BC to the coast & island a few times via bike over the years. My first bike road trip to the island was in 1979 I believe, on a first generation gold wing. I also belong to the BMW Airhead group and we have a rally in Midway BC every year and the last couple of years I've made a stop at the Nakusp BC Beemer rally as well.

This year in July the boss & I made a bike trip to San Fransisco and up the Oregon Coast. She'd never been to San Fran and I stopped there on a bike road trip a couple of years ago ( came up # 1 from the Mexican border ) so I always told her I take her to San Fran and then finish up the ride on # 1 Hwy. We where out in BC I think 4 times this year, but only got as far as Vernon

Does the HUBB rally in August use the same campground in Nakusp?

hello Mountain Man and Cycleman
 
I happen to be in Cape Town now about to head off on a biking adventure looping around Africa by turning left at Kenya ... Just bought an 05 650 Dakar here with 5000 km. on it for 43000 rand, about $4,500 or so. Waiting for my son to join me now from Australia and for him to find a bike.
I live in a little Bay of Fundy rural area in Nova Scotia if you are passing through...and any other Hubbers with some notice can usually supply a bed and space in my barn. Great riding area around here.

I see you live or used to live in Iqaluit. I was up there about 15 years ago with respect to business. Also I'm originally from Nova Scotia so one never knows where he'll be in the future.

Enjoy your ride.
