Today (Sunday) on Mississauga Rd going South silver with side cases. Around 4PM. I was going North on red one.

This past Saturday at 5PM I was crossing the bridge into the states on my 2007 Silver Wee (headed back to Virginia), and saw a Yellow 2008 waiting in line for customs -- rider was just as surprised as I was to see another Vstrom and we waved at each other.

Now that I own a Vee(red) and my brother a Wer, I've noticed quite a few stroms in the Mississauga/gta area.

1:55 pm Orange Strom with sidecases near Rymal and West 5th. You were having way more fun that I was, in the cage.

Thursday around 530 pm got passed by a orange DL650 on the 401 eastbound near Bathurst.
I thought to myself, thats a nice setup: skid, guards, side cases....with some judicious traffic weaving I caught up and noticed he had a clear tank protector WAITAMINNIT. Thats identical to the one on mine when I traded it in. Long story short, we pulled over on the shoulder before the Don Valley and it turned out he bought it from the store I had traded it in to.
Small world in a city with a pop of 2.5 million

12:30 pm. We are having lunch in Whitney, just east of Algonquin park.
You, 2 stroms. One orange one black fueling up. Have a great ride.
Know your limit. Ride within it.

I was looking at the November Motorcyle Mojo article about Friday the 13th at Port Dover and this picture was there:



Anyone from here on the Strom? It looks like instead of a Pirate Suit you were squidding that day!
