| My first ride with the Givi 214 AF ,UK leg deflector and Oxford Heatzer grips was fantastic. The temp was +5 and windscreen work great . Did not feel the wind on me even at 120 KL PH. what a difference with the UK knee deflectors. No pants flapping in the wind.I had to lower the temp on the Heatzer. I did 150 KL and did not feel cold. Im so HAPPY    |

| Hey Tinman, I'm familiar with Matheson as I grew up in Timmins.
Can't believe even the North is getting this fantastic weather.
It certainly has extended the riding season for sure!
Enjoy it but keep safe, lots of loose gravel and salt/sand renmants may still be on the road. |

| Hello CSN your right about the fantastic weather were getting.We are becoming the Miami of the North LOL.There is a lot of sand on the streets but the HWay are nice and clear . A Brinks transport hit a Rock cut last week spilling 9 million dollars in looneys and tooneys all over the place .They recovered 2 thirds of it with a scrap yard magnet.Some were picking them up like it was blueberry season LOL . Today its to cold, hail and wind. warmer weather to come by weekend + 8 and sunny. Nice to here from some northern Cannuck's. |

| Tinman, I still have some friends up in Timmins and they had posted on facebook a bit about that incident. I wasn't sure if that happened in Timmins or another nearby town. They also didn't say how it happened, but now I know it was from a rock. I haven't been up that way since my highschool reunion been living just west of Toronto for the last 27 years now. Do you ever go up to the New Liskeard bikers reunion? I was up there not last summer but the previous 2 summers and had a blast. We camped right by the lake and it was a great time. (Sorry folks getting off topic here). lol
