Risk and Reward

Soon, my lovelies, soon. Weather is finally getting to normal and all that damn snow and ice will melt and we can ride again!! #mcriskandreward #iamteamproam #yyc #iamteamproam

My other hobby is building and flying large amateur rockets - currently part of the @KronosPente team building the KronosE, a 1/20th stand-off scale model of a Saturn V / Apollo rocket!

What a beauty - 2015 Honda VFR800 ... looks fantastic even next to the CBR1000s#proammotorsports #iamteamproam #mcriskandreward #hondamotoca #hondavfr800

Given the godforsaken weather still hanging around Alberta, this is the only FJR i can actually ride right now ... #iamteamproam #mcriskandreward #yamahamotorcanada #fjr #fjr1300

Another bike we just couldn’t leave untouched ... 2019 Yamaha MT-01. Subtle add-ons like Puig windscreen, bar end mirrors, Yamaha heated grips, tail-tidy and Yoshi exhaust make this awesome bike look and sound even better! #mcriskandreward #iamteamproam #proammotorsports #yamahamt10 #yamahacanada #farklethatbike @ Pro-Am Motorsports / Adventure Honda

We can’t leave new things alone Parts had some Yoshi pipes kicking around so one got installed on a new 2018 Yamaha R3! #iamteamproam #yamahamotorcanada #mcriskandreward #r3 #yamahar3 #proammotorsports

Well into Long Way Down now ... #mcriskandreward #iamteamproam #longwayround

Today it’s snowing in Cochrane so up next is the Sibirsky Extreme by Walter Colebatch - lots of extreme riding in eastern Russia ... #iamteamproam #mcriskandreward #sibirskyextreme #adventureriding

Breakfast today at SUNNY SIDE UP Cochrane - excellent as always!! This would make a great starting point for breakfast rides! #iamteamproam #mcriskandreward #cochranealberta #yyc #cochraneeats @ SUNNY SIDE UP Cochrane

I have a 4 day long weekend starting today and it’s snowing outside, so what to do? Why a Long Way Round marathon! I know the haters will probably roll their eyes, but Long Way Round was really the catalyst for Louise (@aperfectstrom) and I to really step up our riding and led to us riding our Burgman 650s from Calgary to Montreal in 2007 for our 25th anniversary. #longwayround #iamteamproam #mcriskandreward #bingewatching

My co-worker @misshollissara looks hard-core on this 2018 Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports. #iamteamproam #proammotorsports #mcriskandreward #hondacanada #africatwin #crf1000 #hondaheadquarters

Check out this old timer - 1986 Kawasaki Voyager XII. You can tell it’s a classic because it has a cassette deck in the dash!! if you don’t know what a cassette deck is, ask someone older than 45 #iamteamproam #mcriskandreward #kawasakicanada #kawasakivoyagerxii #classicbike #classicbikes #projectbike

Calgary has set a record for longest stretch of cold weather - it hasn’t been above -11 since Jan 11! The Polar Vortex can go north anytime now ... #iamteamproam #mcriskandreward #pioneer1000 #yyc #polarvortex2019 #proammotorsports

And we’re done! Now just to get it all back to the store! #iamteamproam #mcriskandreward #yyc

Mmmmm lunch ....

Back at the Calgary Boat & Sportsman show for the day ... surrounded by boats and ATVs, fishermen and hunters - kinda feels like summer ...

It may be -29 C outside, but our two babies are fairly snug in the garage ... around here the cars stay outside! #iamteamproam #mcriskandreward #cochranealberta #tiger800xcx #triumphtiger800 #triumphtiger #fjr1300 #yamahamotorcanada

I’m at the Boat and Sportsman show here in Calgary today. No motorbikes here, but we have quads, side-by-sides and e-bikes ... #iamteamproam #mcriskandreward #hondacanada #pioneer1000
