I just traded my nicely farkled ‘17 ES with 77,000 km (47,845 miles..) at my local BMW dealer in Winnipeg. They’ll probably ask about $13,000 cdn for it. With the exchange rate of approximately 25% it would be a fair deal.

I won’t get the bike until March, which is ok because winter lasts until late April here..

I went to my local Yamaha dealer to investigate a Tracer 9GT and asked them for a quote for my ‘17 FJR as a trade-in…They refused as they already have an used FJR on the floor. So, I went to the BMW dealer who happily gave me a trade-in value.

Welcome from Winnipeg!

There’s a Hells Angels Meeting near Langley this weekend…be very careful

Welcome! That’s an excellent write-up…I’ll be in Edinburgh/Bamburgh/Melrose/Carlisle/Kirkcudbright/Arran/Oban/Applecross in September… I’ll wave in your general direction when we stop for some scran in Melrose..

I cannot imagine your pain and I also cannot conjure up any words that would ease your grief. I’m sure that you have spent a lot of time in quiet contemplation over the years, cherishing the times that you had together and pondering the what-ifs… Stay well.
