Baker forecast showing a chilly -4 at 9am rising to +5 at noon.  A bit too chilly for my blood.  Undecided

Dave, I dunno where you got that forecast, but it’s totally f****d.  It was 14C all the way to Abbotsford then 13C and foggy.  As we left Sumas it soon cleared and warmed all the way to the top,18C.  It continued to warm all the way down, 24C at Sumas.   Blue bird and warm all day.  You missed a great ride.

Sorry I missed it.  I went for a ride up to Whistler instead.  Was a little cool riding up, but warmer on the way back.  Any pictures of your ride?

If you are on your best behaviour.
I was feeling much better this morning and was going to come for coffee, I will go out later and just stay local.
will be there on Sunday for sure.

I probably won’t be going to coffees for a while.  My bike has developed a “knock”.  I’ll not ride it until I can get it diagnosed.  My appointment at Checkpoint Yamaha isn’t until the 20th.

It’s an odd thing.  At first I wasn’t sure I was really hearing it.  It’s gotten louder and more frequent.  Don’t hear it at idle or revving at a standstill.  Don’t hear it on the centre stand in gear.  Not sure if it’s there at speed.  Once underway, I hear an occasional knock, at least in 1st and 2nd gear, under light load.  Doesn’t seem to be there under harder acceleration.  It is noticeable coasting in gear with the clutch lever pulled in.  It is not at all rhythmic or regular.  Chain and sprockets look good.

Unfortunately the bike is 2 1/2 months off warranty.
