First Ride of 2024!

In this video, I get the bikes out of winter storage. Do some maintenance and checks, and head out for a great ride through the countryside.

That’s pretty awesome! My wife is from Shawnigan Lake, we go back to visit every year so I’m familiar with all the routes and most of the back roads you were taking, specifically the church at 28:30

Oh k cool! Ya it's beautiful though there. I really like the Cobble Hill area with all the farms a such. I lived up that way briefly when I was a teenager and rode the wheels off my honda 650. Rode my bike all over that area back then.This one time around where that church is, I was going the other way, I got smoked by a guy on a dual sport bike. I'm not sure what kind it was cuse all I could see was the back wheel getting smaller and smaller quickly, lol. It was on that day I had a new found respect for dual sport bikes and sought out to get one. I tried to keep up with the guy but didn't have a chance and was going to end up as road kill if I kept trying. Still would have liked to know what kind of bike it was, tho. My Current Husqvarna fe350 would probably eat it now, so I pretty good about that lol. Cheers!

@@CenterStandMechanXthat’s exactly where she’s from, yah there’s a lot of blind corners in that area that people are always flying around, saw a few near misses in the short time I visit there but I’d definitely love to ride a bike there, I don’t think I’d trust my XS400 on some of those roads, can’t really pull far enough off to the side on some of them
