Sorry I can't answer your question directly having only been to Jasper many years ago on a non-motorcycle trip. But I would imagine there would have to be some amazing roads in the Rockies there somewhere close by. With some great scenery to boot.

to the board BTW, do you have an R6?

yes I bought a R6 2 week ago (2005). It's my first bike, never drove a bike before.

to the club.

I am not going to preach about R6 as your 1st bike and that you haven't riden before but you gotta take it easy and RESPECT the bike. Most importantly wear your gears. Don't cheap out on getting textile, spring for some leather, you look better and are more protected.

Cold Lake is closed to Edmonton right? You have to drive closer to Banff, Jasper, or Radium to get some nice twisties. You won't get much of a ride going North and South, all straight ahead. Get into Radium Hot Spring on the way to BC is where you'll find some nice road and great nature scenery (the Great Canadian Rockies).

Have fun, be active and post your mug, your g/f pics if you have one, and your bike in the member photo section.

thanx guy! I'm taking a week off this summer to visit the rockies. Yes cold lake is close (250km) to Edmonton north and the road are pretty straight (good for top speed).


Does any one here know what is better , TRS or a RS-3 , for a pipe (yoshimura)??
Or other pipe suggestion ?

I have the RS3 I bought from one of the member here.
It is a little load but I love it! It sound powerful and rumble.
