Starting this thread to link up with other Calgary / Alberta / local-ish Emira owners, starting with this cool dude I was lucky enough to meet out on the road today! Send me a DM to get added to our Emira WhatsApp group chat. 😎

Alrighty, let's see if I can write a 3 week ownership update post without using the word "fun" more than 30 times… 😄
