You made it to Shane's? I went through there yesterday early afternoon, contemplated stopping but carried on home instead. Probably missed a good time, but I'm home and no hangover.

If you went to Shane's you would of had a hangover.

 

[catmando]

Well got home about 3 pm and yes there was a hangover involved. 2900 kilometres in 5 day at 35- 40 degrees is more than enough but all in all a good trip, going out with my wife to a air conditioned restaurant. Peace out!

Exactly. That's why I continued on my homeward journey.

Another day , good miles, no smoke, well not much anyway. Was a nice Solo day of riding and end it in Valemount with lots of beers and good times!

Shane has a nice place there

Radium to Nordegg this am 2.5 hrs. Average speed 150. on the parkway 150 at least lol we were on it this morning.

Risky business running that speed, instant impound of the vehicle.

We got 5 mile radar detectors and laser jammers built it the bikes. You’d have to really be slacking on paying attention to get a ticket.

We…?
How well does it work in the mountains?
And what kind of unit should a guy be looking at?

Some of those setups get pricey.

Alp connect. I’ve had one since 2019. Knock on wood never had a ticket on my bike. My buddy Steve has one also, the only time he got a ticket on his bike was when he didn’t have the app on his phone running with the jammer lol. The laser jammer works around cities because that’s what they use on rural freeways,it’s all laser. A built-in radar is very important for outside the cities. All cops drive around flicking the switch off and on the radar gun. This built-in kit will pick it up for miles. If he flicks his gun on a car, that’s two minutes ahead. I will pick it up. I don’t know about anyone else’s kits but this ALP is the ch!t. I paid originally for mine 3400 installed. I believe they are four grand installed now. That includes front and rear defense. The app is full and interactive globally.

I don’t have a radar jammer in my bike and recently found out they impound your vehicle at 30 over , not 40 over as I originally thought. My high speed trips are done. This last trip there were to many close calls and it’s supposed to be relaxing, I’m to old to push the limits. And I want to get home to my family! Those radar jammers are pretty Awsome. Andrew is a very good rider and loves to rip. Has likely paid for his already and clearly saved me some tickets. Talk to him about them , bring your piggy bank!

This is probably a good start for the set up I have.

I’m thinking I’d give drew a $100 and fallow him. He slows down I slow down.

Going those speeds on a bike is nuts especially in some areas of the mountains, no room for errors, one mistake you bite the dust. Andrew your nuts.

It Definitely can be dangerous. We were early on the road. No traffic. Obviously animals are a concern. I don’t go full retard. I try to ride at what I call Fun Fast. It’s a pace I’ve learned over 50 yrs to ride at off-road and on road. Some days you feel it, and some days you don’t. Motorcycles are definitely all in if you crash but..
You live every day. And die once.
I’m getting slower as I get older. Don’t worry boys I will be OK.

 

[freeflorider]

Not sure what’s worse, cutting through a deer at 150 or 40km. Gona hurt either way.

I agree. Hitting it with steady throttle vs brakes. Hmm.

Finally out for that ride. Did osoyoos up to Kamloops over on the 5a to Merritt down to Princeton back home. Little wet starting out but ended up to be a fabulous ride.
