    I met up with a couple XJ riders from Edmonton last year. We rode to some of "The World's Largest" tourist traps, took some photos and parted ways. Maybe we could all meet somewhere in the middle. Stettler area perhaps? Hard to even think about bikes when it's -30*C and has been for three weeks.

    I'd be up for a ride, but the Seca is in pieces in my garage, and likely will be for some time to come. Anyone have a problem riding with a 500R?

    Hey,

    I've been busy raising kids (sorry for my absense). Yeah, we should do a Calgary ride, maybe another Calgary carb clinic. I haven't had one in 3 years. :)

    I know a couple members will be cleaning their Mikuni's this spring. I don't know if I'd drive to Calgary for a clinic (I hope to do the carbs in April or early May) but if I get stuck or have problems, expect a call or two. We will have to arrange a meet somewhere this summer though. Good to hear from you again.

    What about a camping trip? I'd love to host a "ride in". I have 2.3 acres across from East Barriere Lake B.C. with tiered camping spots, fire pits, party circle, several boats, other stuff ... (bathroom/shower/phone). It's 1hr drive north of Kamloops, paved till the last 5KM

    Barriere would be a great location for all us West Coast XJ riders too - I'm sure I'm not the only one west of the Rockies.

    That's why I bought the property, I have relatives in Calgary too. So It's kinda in between. It would be a great mountain treck from both directions.
    Anyone up for paintball in the forest?

    Sunday the 19th of July, anyone interested in meeting in Stettler, AB for lunch? About 1/2 way between Edmonton and Calgary, and gets us off Hwy #2 (which I hate).

    Hi, I just signed up to this forum as I recently purchased a minty 1983 XJ650 Maxim that has 9,000km on it so I'm looking to learn all about these bikes...looks like I came to the right spot!!

    I am in Drumheller but would love to take part in a ride or a carb clinic....ok whats a carb clinic?? lol I assume we learn all about the carbs?

    Lets hope were done with all that snow...its time to ride!

    Hey all, im in calgary as well,
    (up deerfoot to 64th).

    Got a good garage, with heat and space, but i lack tools. got the essential wrench n what not, but ya... pretty lame for tools n equitment (beginner gear head heh).


    If we need a spot to run any get togethers, and you wanna bring your own tool kits, thats all good. also i got a BBQ too :) heh.

    Also i like to do the Bragg ride on the sundays as well. But any ride will do :p hah.

    Take care folks
