Ya just gotta know that I would write about the weekend we had camping. This was Leanne and mine's first camping trip together. What a blast we had. Wasn't really true camping cuz we were surrounded by big ass RV's but it was still fun.
Friday morning I hooked up the tent trailer to the bike and off to work I go. We had the trailer all packed and ready to take on the weekend. I would pick up Leanne at her Mom's house after work and get up there hopefully by sevenish....hah!!!!
I pick her up at her Mom's, we are all ready to hit the road and as we climbed the hill by Thetis Lake, we come around the top corner and bam. We are faced with the Friday lineup of traffic. It took almost 40 minutes to get from Veterans parkway to Spencer. Once thru the lights at Spencer we were on our way. I had just installed some new pipes on the bike and had the trailer wired up a few days before that, so this was the inaugural trip for the roadliner and the trailer. Everything went smooth, but damn that is one fucking heavy trailer. Good thing the liner has boatloads of torque as it had to pull the trailer, myself and Leanne up over the Malahat. It made it no problem but the noise factor was bad. The sound out of the new pipes was good, but when it hit the trailer it would bounce back at us and yikes....it was loud. We need to wear earplugs for sure. This was the maiden voyage for us and the tent trailer so I was a little nervous about it. The new pipes were popping like crazy whenever I would decelerate. What a crazy ride up.
All in all, the weekend was fun. We arrived in Qualicum Bay Resort at about 8:30. The beauty thing about the tent trailer is that it is setup in about 10 minutes. So, honestly by 8:40 we had beers in hand and that was the start of it.
No point in details, or stories, but needless to say there were two comments made that were awesome.....one was "Pigs Ready" and the other was "Quit Moving". I will leave it at that...
Cant wait for the 20th as that is the day we leave for Sturgis. yeehaw!!!!!
