Maybe we can persuade Red01 and Bobcat to join in from the US?

Sounds good... we'll have to wait and see what my schedule looks like when we get closer.  I've got another daughter to marry off in August, so funds are being diverted to finance that - and I'm still trying to recover financially from the two month strike from last fall.

Hey Paul...congrats.

My 2nd daughter got engaged a few weeks ago as well. Wedding planning underway for the 3rd week of May. Oldest daughter pregnant. First grandchild due early July. For me, the early July ride will be dependent on the pregnancy/birth.

 :congrats: to you, too!  Between my other 3 kids, I've already got 7 grand-daughters.
Maybe this girl will bring me a grand-son.  :bandit:

Well last Monday I returned from a trip to Southern California, where everybody can ride year 'round and I've been dreaming of hitting the road so this weather is really getting me down. As a side note though my bike does fire right up in -20C temperatures.

Hey fellow AB Bandit riders.
If you are planning a group ride that swings near Calgary let me know.
Would love to see a bunch of Bandits representing at the KGB show in Aug

Don't want to be the only Bandit there again!!
I will arrange a group rate for all Bandits. The roads in that area alone are worth the trip and we are tossing in a comedy concert and music jam.

Hello from Fort Saskatchewan

just bought a 2007 new to me 1250s  with 9150 kms
been a lurker for months,  Thanks to everyone for the info to make an educated purchase.  I had to replace my 84 gs 1150e it has served me well for a couple of years as a commuter and light touring.  I was very inpressed with the Bandit and plan on a bunch of farkles.  Hopefully there will be a group ride or a coffee run and I can meet you guys.

Hey Grantstuff and IceMakk, and anyone else in Alberta,

It looks like we might be headed out on an informal thing tomorrow, around red deer/ rocky mountain house area.  PM me with an email address if you're interested. (We're actually thinking we'll leave tonight and overnight it, but that's not for sure yet)

To Cross post  I plan to be at the pier in Sylvan Lake at around 12:30 tomorrow. 

Too bad we didn't have a bit more time to plan this out.  However it is going to be a nice day to ride, and it will be nice to meet a few new people.
