Smile Another Canadian Newbie

let me introduce myself.

I am an old geezer and IT professional and have been riding for a long time. Present riding a KLR650 (my 8th bike).
Was looking for a small fuel efficient car, to tour across Canada, I have looked at Spyders a couple of times at the bike shows, when telling my wife/boss about them she shrugged her shoulders, whatever.
Was in a dealer with her, looking at some cars and my wife spotted a Can-am RT, she went, "now that is nice, if you get one of those we could enjoy riding across Canada and enjoy the scenery"..

I have been married for a long time, in an argument I always have the last words. "Yes Dear"
And I listened to her, follow orders well.
So I am now in the final steps with a dealer to purchase a RT.
Should have it in a week or so..

Going out tomorrow with her to get her some riding gear.

Did the deed.

Bought a new 2010 Silver RT with GPS, had them add gauges, luggage, cover, and getting a Scala G4 intercom for the Boss to give me orders.

Should get it right after long weekend.

Andy
