    My fav College team is University of Regina Rams. Several players every year are picked in the Canadian Football draft and there is usually one or two yearly that are NFL bound. http://www.reginarams.com/ Brian

    I was wondering why we always remember the crappy weather, but seem to forget about the other 200 or so sunny days of the year.? Even in winter as long as its sunny it seems like a nice day. (at least to me) As a side note,,,,I also wonder why Ontario people always seemto take so much fun in poking sticks at the Albertans about everything from weather to oil sands to the trucks they drive...

    I find partshark pretty easy to use and it has the actual parts fiche online so you can track down what you need. Brian

    I was in Commission sales In Appliances for over 10 years and our most reliable laundry overall was the Whirlpool stuff, and the Sears stuff made by whirlpool. In my opinion its the best buy for the money. Occasionally every company (even Whirlpool) makes a bad one but thats why I would pay a bit extra to stay with a bigger company that can help you out in case of a lemon, (but not a lot extra.) Brian

    When youve got that licence and bikes, make sure you come on up to a part of Canada, we would love to see you guys here too. Brian

    The 85 was a one year only beast, with the bigger trunk and still having the clamshell side bags. It has a different mounting bracket under the trunk and they are scarce. You may be able to make an 85 and up trunk fit by bolting a piece of metal or wood down to your bracket and then bolt the bigger trunk to that plate. You will gain a ton of space by changing the side bags also, our pre 86 bags that open out really dont have a ton of space in them. Brian

    If you like eating and specifically , eating ice cream, not to worry youll fit in just fine....lol. Youre a way from quite a few members, but heck so am I, and ive made some darn good friends in here, so get out and ride that 85 the distances it was made for. Meet cha up in Cody next July and we can compare 85 Glorious Maxie Brown paint jobs....lol! Brian

    If anyone is planning a motorcycle trip to a part of Canada you havnt been before, maybe check out www.Vridetv.com . They have ridden a VRod across Canada and taken pretty high quality video from just about everywhere in Canada. They have found some great spots and even caught some wildlife like bears and Rocky Mountain sheep in their travels. They are mostly short videos, but they will give you a great idea about the roads and the type of the terrain and amenities around. Ill start you off with the Alberta Badlands and Dinosaur Provincial Park, just because its not too far from here. http://www.vridetv.com/sddinosaurprovpk.html Brian:smile5:

    If youre going to be up around the Vancouver area, maybe drop SilvrT a note and see if he has time to meet up for a coffee. I think Rick and Nina are almost always ready for a ride. He owns a black G2 now, but used to own an 85 so he may be able to have a look and a chat and help you out. Brian

    Welcome to the group! I am a big guy also, about 6 ft 300lbs I had a couple of those issues with my 85 when I got it too. I had a slipstreamer windsheild on it and i felt i was fighting wind all the time. I ordered a new xxl clearview windshield with a vent for mine and it made a huge difference, but i did find out that opening the vent helps cut down even more on wind buffetting. That may be something you can try with your windshield that is quick and cheap, I am sure some dealers would have some vents around, and yo may be able to install yourself. when my forks felt a bit light i had progressive springs put in mine, as the old springs were bottoming out from time to time and just seemed to be weak. Also installed a superbrace to firm up the forks and get rid of any flex and twist and its now rock solid for as fast as I dare to ride it. Brian

    Wow! when did that law come in out there? thats so pathetic to be that heavy handed for speeding. Out here in Western Canada it seems you really have to be pushing it hard to even get a ticket, since they raised our speed limits to 110kph a few years ago. Brian

    Just scroll down the page and select motorcycles, your year and then xvz1300 for your model, then look in the oem fiche area select side cover and I think they are item 7 Brian

    I hope your surgery goes great and you have a painless time of it and the recovery. Brian

    Beer30 made up a set for my 85 and a couple of others that needed them this spring so he should still have the pattern. He is a very busy guy with his real work and this is just a sideline for him so a few of us waited almost a year from them, but ya cant rush quality. Brian

    Here on the prairies we got so much water that lakes and rivers are overfull and about 1/3 of the wheat crop didnt get planted. I was up north of Regina a couple of hours drive and there was a feeling of a road running thru an ocean with water everywhere. Brian
