I bought a 98 Tourer today. After XX number of years on Kawa sportbikes I've gone back to the big cruisers. My left wrist is old and my wifes back is
tired..... so if I want to take my wife to the Dairy Queen we're gonna be cruising. After reading this website I made up my mind on the 1100 and I'm
looking forward to slow rolling Vancouver Island here in British Columbia. alan

Alan - Howdy from your neighbor to the south. I love visiting Victoria - too bad we are going to need a passport for the trip now. There are a few other
Canucks on the board, I'm sure they'll be chiming in. Enjoy sitting upright on your bike.

We lived in Vic near Ogden Point and it's great to visit. Our tax collectors on the Cdn side will let you in without a passport, but your border guards
won't let you back. Hi Ben in El Paso. I was born in New Jersey and spent most of my adult life in Corpus Christi. Thanks for welcoming me all... I'll
just unfold my lawn chair here and set a bit.

Welcom aboard Alan, you have come to a great forum. If you get up to the Okanagan, give me a shout for coffee.
You have some great riding country on Vancouver Island and with that short Ferry ride to Port Angeles, you are just a stones throw away to Paradise. Cheers, John Manderson, Kelowna, B.C. |

Welcome alan to the forum from another Alain in upstate New York. Glad you found us and decided to become one of us by buying your 98 T. I too just purchased
my first T back in April and I'm loving it. Hope that you post a picture in the Members Photos section.
Again welcome and I look forward to 'talking' with you more in the future. alepel "Ride with the Spirit always, and in all ways"....hombldr |

Alan,
Howdy and welcome. Victoria is a beautiful city. I spent part of my honeymoon there. We plan to go back someday. Dave (even closer to the Texas Gulf Coast than Dan) |

How I got to Canada...... eh? I met a nice Canadian nurse from Vancouver Is. I worked for Reynolds Metals in Corpus Christi and it was bought by Alcoa. I
"retired" early and my wife missed her family in Can...... soooo.... why not? She is an OR nurse and I'm the house husband. Pushing a vacuum in a
clean house is easier than pushing a crew of millwright/pipefitters in a nasty chemical plant. Now I'm a dual citizen bum/investor. I come to Canada, learn
a few simple phrases, and ......
