Finally getting some riding in here in southern Alberta - although the weather is not settled yet.

Nice shot. I'm glad you finally got a good ride in. That blue sign means scooter accessible?

Beautiful background.

But why oh why is that color of Forza not available in the US! It just boggles the mind and makes no sense...

Nice looking scoot garrup! Hopefully your weather starts to cooperate so you can put some miles on it!

No kidding! That's such a great color!
My only reservation about buying the Forza is the red. I love red... I'm a Georgia fan... but I don't want a bright red bike/scooter. Been there, done that.

Re: CLIFFS OF THE S. SASK RIVER

Post by garrup »

In the former shot, with the cliffs, you can see the layers of strata (including coal seams) representing many millions of years of history. Here is another shot where a red cliff face is evident. I am told it is composed of clay that was compressed in the distant past and heated to the point of partial combustion - which turns some clays red. How was it compressed? Again, back in time, this spot had not only hundreds of feet more of sediment than you see here, but half a mile of ice above it as well. Out here on the prairie, our river cliffs are among our few points of interest. So when i ride, i often end up doing so along the river. Cottonwoods and bird life also favor us at the bottom of these glacial cut coulees.

Somehow or another, I'm just now noticing that the Forza doesn't have any added on turn signals. I like how they're built in vs the US PCX.

yeah, don't ya know the pcx could get another 20 mpg if it weren't for the signals creating all that air drag !

Oh, and another nice scenic shot. I love this kind of pics.
