Hi - just bought a leftover 2007 Breva 1100. I'm in Saskatoon. Any other prairie goose out there?

mofa52 said:I had the pleasure of driving accross Canada last year (two months off work). I agree the roads accross Canada were very bad, they were better near the big cities Toronto and such but overall just BAD. I too thought I was going to damage something and in fact I did, I was in a new Class A MH and broke several items including the dash fans which fell off due to pot holes. In some spots I was down to 45 KM per hour. I only made it as far as Quebec City and turned around and went home (BC) via USA. The roads you have down there are super!

sn0winSaskatoon said:Good to hear there's at least one Goose inthe Queen City. I know there's another Guzzi Cali in S'toon but I'm pretty sure I have the only "modern" Goose in Saskatchewan? If this warm weather holds, my red Breva will be out of the garage before april starts... We call her the "Italian Girlfriend"...
But I have to jump in here and defend our province. Our roads are actually about as good as can be expected in our climate, with cold winters and the frost damage that causes, and the frequent occurance of expansive soils (some soil minerals swell and shrink a lot as they wet and dry). Roads in Quebec, Manitoba and the Maritimes are usually worse and they don't have the excuse of soil mineralogy, and in Ont, the roads are fine in the south near Toronto and London but northern ontario's roads aren't great...

sn0winSaskatoon said:yeah, well I'm a geotechnical engineer. I often give Engineering Students a quiz. What natural cause is responsible for the most damage in North America each year, tornados, hurricanes, earthquakes, forest fires or... expansive soils... ??
That said, our roads do suck, and I'm thinking about Todd's hyper-expensive super-suspension for my breva.
has spring come to London? I used to live there, went to grad school at UWO...

Thunderbox said:Hello Ian,
There are several modern Guzzis in Saskatchewan. I am in S'toon and I have a 2008 Norge. A fella up at the syncotron has an 08 Sport and there are 2 people who have Sports in Regina that I know of. Sorry to ruin your exclusivity but we still are relatively exclusive anyway. Maybe we can meet up and go for a ride sometime.

Be careful on those roads out there Dave, you know at your age and the accompanying failing eyesight, and old bones don't want you all worn out before you make it to BC for the BBQ :lol:
