Default Hello from the wet(west) coast of Canada.
It's not a typo..It'll be wet here til june
My name is Terry and I've been riding street for almost 10yrs. Started off with sportbikes(GSXR's), but currently ride a DR650 supermoto. I just purchased a 2004 Wee-strom from a friend at work. I've been eyeing up this bike now for quite some time. I plan on using the bike mostly for commuting to work and camping. I'm looking forward to learning lots about this bike and seeing what mods you guys have done. Cheers

Wet till June????

There were over 20 days of ride-able weather last Feb (after the mountains of snow melted)

March is when it starts to get nice, c'mon, be a lil more optimistic!
