Trev Deeley Motorcycles Harley Davidson Trailer
by Editor on 08/15/20
Pulled into the Chevron for gas and saw this awesome truck & trailer setup! I've been a long time customer of Trev Deeley Motorcycles in Vancouver British Columbia Canada, bought my first 2003 100th Anniversary VRSCA V-ROD from there. That was the bike Diane and I road across Canada and it had over 153,000 kms on it. My bikes have seen there fair share of time inside that trailer over the years on trips to the service department for customization, tires (lots of tire changes) valve lashes, and regular maintenance.
Big shout out to Lorne for being kind enough to let me take a pic and the rest of the good folks at Trev Deeley Motorcycles for years of outstanding customer service!
You guys and gals are the BEST!

Carbon fiber Vrod testing and tuning
by Editor on 08/14/20
The testing and tuning continues on the carbon fiber Vrod and on this ride the camera gear was put to task. All three Sony HXR-MC1 professional HD video cameras were installed on the mounts and were pushed to the limit, all three passed with flying colours!

Carbon fiber Harley Davidson VROD
by Editor on 08/11/20
It was sure good to have the carbon fiber bike back on the road! I was able to go for a test ride yesterday after spending a lot of time and elbow grease to make it both reliable and what I consider looking good. Recently had to install a new radiator / oil cooler assembly, new fuel sending unit and took care of all the dull and pitted aluminium. Went for a couple of hours ride to "work out the bugs" and I was very happy to see the only bugs I found were the ones splattered on the bike ; )

Coldwater Road

Next time you're ridding from Merritt to Hope I highly recommend taking Coldwater Road out of Merritt. The pic below shows Coldwater River and also the entrance back to the Coquihalla Highway. I've posted an extended length video of Coldwater Road here.
VROD Wheels
by Editor on 07/29/20
Seems only fitting that this happened on Wheel Wednesday!
We wanted to put the final touches on our 2003 Harley-Davidson Vrod carbon fiber build so we're boxing up the stock solid wheels and sending them to Ruthless Designz to have design #930 cut into them.
Here's the link to see the wheels they did on our silver bike http://www.vridetv.com/vrodwheels.html

It was a great ride to Nicola Lake (just outside of Merritt) yesterday, the weather was amazing and the breeze off the lake was greatly appreciated!
Below is a map of the ride using an "Explorer" a 2 way satellite communicator with GPS from Roadpost.

Boundary Road straddles the Canadian and the United States border between British Columbia and Washington State. It's a scenic but short road in Abbotsford near the Sumas border crossing.

Love and Hate relationship
by Editor on 07/17/20
Love & hate relationship... Sometimes a picture doesn't tell the whole story....
While riding yesterday I went past the Glen Valley Regional Park and noticed that there wasn't anyone there, amazed, I turned around and went in. It was perfect opportunity for a photo op, or so I thought...
Parked the bike as close to the bank as I safely could and with in seconds a swarm of relentless blood sucking mosquitos were in full attack mode. I was able to grab a couple of pics and a 15 second video clip for our Tic Tok account before I had to get out of there.
Seems like I've always had a love hate relationship with mosquitos, they love me and I hate them...
I was the all you can eat buffet at the "Mosquito River Restaurant"
I got bit up pretty good so hopefully, you like the pic and enjoyed the back story.

Vrod triple trees
by Editor on 07/03/20
The polishing continues!
One good thing about all this rain we've been having is the amount of polishing I've gotten done. These triple trees came out pretty good but now I'm looking at that seam from the mold and think I might have to sand that off and polish it to give a cleaner look.
