Coldwater Road
by Editor on 07/31/20
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.

How to polish VROD Sliders
by Editor on 06/15/20
I just finished sanding and polishing the sliders for our 2003 Carbon fiber VROD, it's a lot of work but well worth it. This is the second set I've done and found that sanding from 220 to 2000 grit produces the best results. These lower legs have waves in them like a ripple chip from the moulding process and starting with 220 takes off the clear coat and flattens out the ripples.
It's a great project for those rainy days!
