moving to Canada?

[WSSix]

Thanks! Are there good roads to go for motorcycle rides on like I'd find down around Denver or are there only a few roads to travel on?

Only gravel or mud roads up here for the most part as we have no pavement from north of the US border!

Nah,

There's plenty of great roads to ride around here. I'm a biker myself and ride with a couple different groups up here. Mostly Harley riders that I know, but there are all types around here from mellow to hardcore. Highway 93 to Jasper is an awesome ride, and Highway 40 through Kananaskis is also high up on the list. There are lots with mountain roads and twisty's to run through.

As someone who lived in Alaska for quite some time and made the drive from Montana to Alaska many, many times I can tell you, Canada is a very beautiful place. The Rockies, the lakes and rivers, and all that is our northern neighbor is something to behold.

That said, I can also tell you of many times where I did not wait for the gas tank to fill before I had to get out of the mosquito fog. Yep, they are that bad (or worse). Also, northern Alaska has black flies and I hear that Canada does as well. These things are just flat mean, taking a good chunk of flesh off of your hide.

So, if your going to live in the great white north, I am envious of you. I do miss living in Alaska something awful. Just be sure to wear a full face visor on your helmet and plenty of mosquito spray (100% DEET -- accept no substitute).

lol, thanks Jim and everyone else. I'm waiting to hear back if the job is still available and if US citizens can apply. I'm not even sure I want the job that's available. I believe I'd like it but I have a lot of questions and decisions to make. Sounds like it wouldn't be too terrible to get my stuff up there if I do decide to make the move. I was worried I'd have to sell off my junk.

BTW, I ride a Ducati Monster 1100s and have a 98 Ninja 9R that will be back on the road soon. I need twists, turns, and elevation changes to enjoy riding my bikes.
