| Hello all, I'm a new user to the forum but not to the Silverwing community having owned my scoot now for 8 years (or should I say seasons). I'm from Calgary, Alberta, Canada and have thoroughly enjoyed my S'wing, especially so now as I've just sold my BMW F650GS (damned arthritis!).
Major additions to the scoot include GIVI topbox and side cases and Throttlemeister throttle lock for touring, Laminar Lip and Ears for wind control and a locally re-done seat (contoured and addded gelpad) for increased comfort. I've seen Mexico and Alaska (Hyder) on the bike and look forward to many more enjoyable kilometers (miles for you non-metric folks) of touring.
If you're ever up this way please don't hesitate to drop me a line. |

How's the weather for riding on the other side of the Rockies?
Winter has been kind on this side with only a few days where riding was not an option. |

Winter has been kind on this side with only a few days where riding was not an option. Spring has been long, wet and cold (worst in over 30 years) here on the eastern slopes. We're finally out riding when June comes along, our rainiest month of the year! Good thing the S'wing is a good "all-weather" ride. |
