Just back from a 1500km trip, Sherwood Park to Banff National Park, then to Jasper National Park via the Ice-Fields Parkway and back home. We left Friday July 8th morning after 3 tornado's touched down south of here. Friday at 7:30 extreme heavy rain for 2 hours bike handled the rain no problems. Then we hit 80km hour winds from Airdrie right into Banff again no problems but I did scare the crap out of us once, my kidney's are still ringing off my bladder...ok maybe not that windy but it was crazy. When we got into Banff it was chilly plus 5, did some touring around and had people all over taking our pictures and asking questions:2thumbs:. Saturday morning headed for Jasper National Park in the rain, temp was a balmy plus 4 with snow in the higher elevations. The rt handled the weather no problem and the heat coming off the engine was BEAUTIFUL
. Made it to Jasper got our room and went to a small cafe, I ordered 2 bowls of soup just to warm up. All in all this trip was awesome we are Albertan's a tough bunch, the roadster handles the weather here no problem from very high winds to heavy rain. I did this trip many times in the truck but to do it on this bike was a blast cold or not We will be doing it again and again it never gets old. I only took a few pictures sorry but it rained most of the trip. The pictures are at the top of the Columbia Ice Fields.
