Feeling Mouldy

August has been looking a whole lot more like October over the past week. Constant dark clouds and drizzle coupled with lower than normal temps has got me feeling the autumn blues a bit early this year. According to Mr. Weatherman, we can expect pretty much more of the same for the next week or so.

Maybe the BMW C1 wasn't such a bad idea after all. It keeps most of the rain off of you... Nah, forget that! I'm simply losing it. Guess I'll just slip into my Frogg Toggs and find a new road to explore.

I thought about you this weekend. I was teaching a class and one of the students was telling me about his friend. Seems the friend lives up in Canada but came to Oregon to buy a bike. Even with paying the tax to get it back to Canada, he still saved a couple thousand dollars.

Reminded me of a couple of posts you did a while back.

Just wanted to drop in and offer greetings. I don't comment often but I read the blog regularly to see what's up with you!

irondad - It's amazing the number of Canadian motorcyclists that cross the border to buy a bike. One of the girls at work recently drove to New Hampshire to pick up a new ST1300, and her boyfriend got a GoldWing. Between the both of them, they claim to have saved over $7,000.

With those kind of prices, I can't blame them for making the trip. What I don't understand, is how local dealers manage to stay afloat.

By the way, thanks for stopping by. Your blog is always on my Google Reader list!

Cheers,
Lucky
