The Junos are over for another year.  I watched a bit but was turned off by how music today has become so bad.  It's all artificial nowadays except for rappers whose voices don't change throughout their entire piece.  Not my style of music.

Today's song is about an agorophobic woman during a visit to a maharishi in India.  She refuses to come outside.  The group has some nice harmonies.

Yup.

Just to be clear this is the one on 96th in Langley ?

  I’ll be on my Norton for sure! Still a bit cool out to hang out outside so inside coffee works for me. Thinking of trying out new riding pants. BMW pants for less than $300,,,,hey, I’m 50% Scottish!!!

I plan on riding my CB750 out to Tim’s in Port Kells, Langley.  Gonna be a bit chilly.  We’ll see if the Honda’s charging system is up to task of heated gloves.

  And on a lighter note , where are we meeting for coffee tomorrow ?

  Interesting that BMW is still using the same series 2 “Hexhead” twin that my ‘08 GS has. Maybe I should be more resolute when talking about the big turd in my garage.
