Yeah, I hear you, its -23 C (about -7F) here in Calgary, into the -30's with wind chill. Had a good dump of snow as well, and its still autumn .
On the good side, my basement workshop is warm, and top end re-build continues.
Ah yes the Dominican Republic.................I remember +30C and beautiful white beaches, and last but not least, Heineken Beer. Oops, how did I forget to mention...................topless beaches

Here this morning when I got up it was 58 , now at 1100 it has dropped to 38 and we are supposed to get the cold hammer dropped on us. Headed for single digits possibly. They always say if you don't like the weather here in Missouri wait a day and it'll change real fast.

Though I'll admit, Saskatoon's pretty cool... not Regina though, I spent lots of time there, something about a city closing down at 6 pm just doesn't impress me... And yes, Winnipeg is more infested... refer to above stripclub comment. lol

Ya I'm from yorkton I lived in regina 1 year can't say I realy miss it other than nearest princess auto, cms and sometimes regina motorcycle salvage only problem with him is him. I just about could like winnipeg if it just quit trying to be little toronto. Sorry to sound like a jerk all places have a lot of great people. What type of rides you into, cafes, restos, streetfighters, chops and bobbers? Personaly I like pretty much everything as long as the person who rides it did the majority of the work. There are way too many who want to buy the flavor of the week trying to wow the wufos. May all your cold and frostys be in a glass.

Sorry, you lost me on the wufos as well. I'm guessing the W is for Women... the rest I don't know.
The only good thing Winnipeg really has going for itself, and only in summer, is the Sunday night cruise (Portage avenue becomes one long show and shine, probably sponsored by Opec.)
I used to be into antique cars, still am but don't have any anymore. But bikes are welcome too, though not too many customs out here... Our roads suck for hardtails. I'm turning mine into a bobber/rat bike... basically that just means I'm doing a bunch of stuff to it and it'll be ugly when I'm done. lol.
Oh, And Winnipeg has my kids in it, so that's two things it has going for itself.
And you know Winnipeg and Regina have an ongoing rivalry (football) so I just kid... really, I couldn't care less about the whole Bombers/Ruffriders thing.
I see alot of bikes for sale around Regina for decent prices, costs too much to ship them out I guess. Same with antique trucks.
Cheers.

tell me about it. i like oldskool bob's and cafe's ...and my italian superbikes (78xs hardtail, 73cb500/4 and a 2004 Ducati 999 monoposto). Sportsters are the ONLY Harley i love. (oh yeh it's a womans bike ) And there is to many bolt the most chrome onto the bike you can get Dyna riders here.
i love salvage here, Dino is great...but i don't really like dealing with Randy to much.
Oh yeh, much love to triumph as well.
