Back in my insane youth a friend and I decided to ride our Triumphs all year long in Ottawa. Friggin cold. Now I am really a fair weather rider and have learned not to go for longer drives in the spring. Keep getting caught in light snow at either Manning Park or Whistler. Thats the problem with Lower Mainland weather. It is JUST LOCATED IN THE LOWER MAINLAND.Must be nice....May is still cold up in central BC. I still ride, but I don't enjoy it after dark. LOL Makes me wonder why I still do it?
