It started one evening last week, Reg K and I were out for a ride, we did a loop around Edmonton, about 130 Kms. We split off on the Manning freeway, he going south, me East. A patrol car pulled in behind me and followed for about a mile, before throwing the lights on. Two constables, one senior other younger.

I understand and appreciate what Bro Adam was striving for in allowing us to change our "handle" on the forum, but I'm not entirely thrilled with the result. For example, I saw the road name of a brother who is soon to have a birthday and thought to myself "Maybe I'll post him a message saying hi" but by clicking on the profile, I have no way to know who he really is.

On Saturday, June 5, 2010, the Cornerstone Chapter of the Widows Sons held their monthly meeting, as well as a BBQ and ride out to Katie’s Crossing near Ardrossan. Though the weather was threatening all week to be less than amiable to riding, it turned out to be a brilliant day for Biking and Brotherhood.

After the April meeting at Boston Pizza, I was heading west to go home on Stony Plain Rd., and as I crossed straight through the intersection at 142nd Street an elderly lady began her left turn north. Needless to say, in the bike vs car showdown, my bike lost, I hit her grill at about 45 degrees and went for a bit of a flight.

It's happened. Fully enclosed motorcycles are now being sold in Europe and I suspect they will be available in North America in 2010.

Not cheap but they are luxurious. There are a few different small manufacturers in the game. Perhaps in first place is PERAVES from Birmingham England. http://monotracer.com
