Triumphs are back!!!

OMG I remember my dad telling me he used to own a Triumph Bike and I actually saw a picture of him and my mom in Wasaga Beach. I use to think that they were pretty rinky dink bikes but now that I've see them up close at my Yamaha/BMW/Triumph dealer, I have a whole new respect for the style.

These two models, the Bonneville T100 and the Thruxton are absolutely amazing machines. The photos don't give any justice to the true craftsmanship and tight lines of these machines. I felt like telling the guy that I would trade my V-Star 1300 Tourer for one of the two models key for key. They are $9,999 so I could do it I'm sure. Nath does not enjoy riding very much because the seat is not comfortable so just to commute to work and the odd evening/weekend cruise it would be awesome to ride a Triumph. It would probably make my dad a little jalous as well. Anyway this is a great brand of motorcycle and I'm glad they are still out there to enjoy.

Salut!

OP HESTIA (Haiti)

C'est une opération qui prend de l'envergure. Ce matin nous avons dicuté de la possibilité d'envoyer de nos membres en Haiti pour supporter l'effort des militaires canadiens. Nous avons déjà des CC-130 Hercules, CC-117 Globemaster, un Griffon et deux navires (HMCS Montréal et HMCS Athabascan) avec un hélicoptère Sea-King qui se déploie. Les chances que notre unité soit demandé de fournir sont minim mais nous seraons prêt néamoins. En se moment, je suis le seul qui serait qualifié et disponible pour y aller dans les mois à venir.

On verra plus tard.
