Greetings from Vancouver, B.C., Canada

elvis · 05-04-2009, 10:53 PM

Hello fellow Vulcan riders,

Elvis here, just registered and wanted to introduce myself.

Brief Bio: Ex-marine engineer, sailed the seven seas for a decade, finally settled down in Beautiful B.C. Canada

Interests: Motorcycles, Linux and Reading
Occupation: Wants to Semi-retire and Grad Student

My wife and I have 5 computers, 2 motorcycles [a 2007 Boulevard C50 and a 2008 Nomad 1600, guess who's riding the Nomad] and a variety of plants and flowers to take care of.

We take every opportunity to travel overseas and ride our bikes in the cool rising mists of Vancouver mornings, cruise over the bridges, head into Washington State, smell the ocean, drink coffee and ride back home seeing the downtown skyline with the North Shore Mountains in the background. We like to do these spontaneous day rides whenever weather permits and plan for long weekend get-a-ways. This summer, I'd like to take her down to States, probably to Utah.

Let me see if I can attach photos here.

See you down the road.

How do you insert a photo?

Welcome from Ontario Elvis, To attach pics you need to download on to a photobucket or similar sight and then you can post them here. There is a tutorial here that explains it a lot better at the top of the main page.

Hey elvis,
welcome from another west coast'er. Nice to have you. Your the only other one I know of other than myself. Maybe we could hook up for a ride this summer some time. Have you heard there is a National rally this June in Custer S.D.? A friend and I are heading down, your welcome to ride with us.
