Hey Rocket! thanks for dropping in and making the pizza run out to Regina Beach with me, it was fun! I am glad you made it home safe, even if youre all wet!!!:rotfl: Brian

Hey good to see ya coming on a tour thru the prairies. If you get time for a coffee and a chin wag, or want another rider along give me a call my info is in the profile. My mother was actually born in Rouleau and I spent quite a lot of my choldhood on a farm about 5 miles from there. Brian:cool10:

Ive seen quite a few around town, so they are getting them from somewhere. Call Canada revenue and Customs and get the procedures and policies. Or better yet your provincial highway traffic dept. or the OPP to ask your question. You would prbably have to take it somwhere and have it checked and safetied at your expense, but I dont think customs can dictate what type of unit you can bring into the country.(but I have been wrong on more than one occasion in the past...lol) Whether you can get it insured or not is up to the issuer, however.

Idiots is waayyy to tame a word to use for bags of skin that do that type of thing to other person posessions. I do not call them people cause I dont think they are civilized enough to give them that designation. Brian:2cents:

Yeah, but the geographic center from east to west in Canada is marked on a sign post just east of Winnipeg on the Trans Canada Highway. :stirthepot: Youre east man! At least in my opinion...but dont worry it dont matter where you are, as long as youre ridin! lol! Brian:cool10:

Message delivered. But I think he is headed northwest to Saskatoon on hiway 11 to get to Wainright AB. Brian

Rocket has stayed lasy night and tonight up here in Regina SK. with me. He got in pretty late last night and was pretty wiped out so he actually almost speechless. lol! We took a ride out to Regina Beach tonight and had a good deep dish pizza. I am not sure what his plans are but whatever hes enjoying himself on vacation. He has said he really enjoyed his stay with grandpagak and family and had a blast meeting everyone everywhere he has been. Brian

Not just because its different, (and that is reason enuff) but because I am having my left hip redone and putting all my weight (and there is more there than there should be, lol) on that leg to swing my right leg over the bike gets painful somedays. That right Sidestand would solve a lot of my issues with getting on and off the bike.....hmmmmm Brian -
This Country Music festival takes place every year for the last 25 years about 17 miles north or Regina Sk. Canada. There is about 25000 people there daily and everyone stays in the campgrounds and just has one heck of a good time. This year they had everyone from Toby Keith to Dierks Bentley, on Sunday afternoons lineup. I have a couple of pics and one video of the campground and you can see the stage waayy off in the distance, but it will give you the idea of the geography.

I just thought it might be cool if we stick a card in the videos making rounds so everyone could sign and date it so we could see where the videos have been. Would that be ok with everyone? Brian

No, dont keep more mouth shut we like your ideas, and want to hear more. Its just that what you do privately is different than what we have to do here in the forum. We cant be seen as condoning illegal copying. I apologize to you if we made you feel uneasy about your suggestions and I guess it should have been worded differently in hindsight. Brian

Good for you Kitesquid! I find those types of DVD's very informative but after youve seen them a few times they just sit on your shelf. I decided to do some house cleaning myself and have I have handed my copy of Ride like a Pro IV off to Rocket when he was here last night and he agrees to send it on when he is done with it. He was kinda wiped out when he got here late last night from Grandpagaks place in LaPorte MN, but he made it fine. Brian

here is a cool looking ride with the 1.8 l Honda engine. http://gizmodo.com/5026218/icare-motorcycle-actually-doesnt-give-a--about-anything Brian

I had a similar thing in mind, as I just wondered about uploading a .kmz shortcut from Google Earth into a message or thread. That would make it real easy to show ppl what youre talking about. (I tried inserting a .kmz file one time a while back and it wasnt recognized, but maybe there is something I am missing) Brian:cool10:

I wasnt intending for Ventureriders to get in to a copying thing here, as its a big legal headache that wont go away, so we cant get into that here, period! I was thinking if youve got something like a Ride like a pro DVD and have seen it a few times and dont want to view anymore but think someone else would get value out of watching it, then post it here for someone else to view. Then they would post it again after they are done with it and then send it on. Would something like that work around here? Everyone seems so community minded I think it might. Brian:cool10:

Has anyone thought about setting up some sort of lending library for riding dvd's and instructional videos? To be honest I havnt thought logistics yet, but the idea is intrigueing to me. It would be a good way to share movies about biking and especially the ride like a pro series. Any ideas whether this is a good or bad idea would be appreciated. Brian:cool10:

Whups! I hate it when that happens, I lost mine too, bought a new switch... Brian

I dont know if this has ever been posted before but its a Seafoam vid on all the uses of their products. I didnt know that you could use it for all that stuff, kinda interesting. [ame=http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6187290865726229173]Sea Foam Usage Video[/ame]

The only issues with moving the dates are with us northern ppl. In my area, you cant rely on the weather being warm enuff for a long ride much before mid may and by mid sept we are below freezing at night at times. But as its been said before, ya cant please everyone all the time, the best you can hope for is pleasing some people some of the time Brian:2cents:

I agree the central part of the US is actually around Kansas somewhere. We seem to have the same mistaken ideas going on in Canada as Ontario people (or at least the media) call the area Central Canada, what the heck is that!!! Are they blind or just kinda geographically challenged, heheh. Brian:2cents:

I like this area also, its closer than the west coast for the Eastern people and its got some great scenery and unique stuff other than trees and lakes everywhere...lol Brian:cool10:

I went to one of the local dealers today as I have a small leak from my valve covers on my 85 1st gen. It leaves a puddle the size of a quarter every time i stop and it drives me nuts! I almost fell over when the parts guy said that the gaskets were 38 bucks each! thats gonna cost me 76 bucks to do both sides. I think I gotta check around but I thought I would ask in here to see what you guys are paying for valve cover gaskets. thanks Brian:cool10:

Year to Year Differences

MY 85 does the same thing Brian -
I was wondering about the wisdom of adding about a 1/4 of a can of seafoam to the crancase and let it run for about 5 minutes like the seafoam video says. they say it cleans carbon and varnish out, so it might be good. Seafoam does say to change oil immediatley afterwards. Has anyone tried this to clean out an old bike thats been sitting? Brian

Ok you just may regret saying that if I show up on your doorstep sometime!! Actually i was thinking of takling a tour late next spring but its too early to tell where I am going, but you may see me around sometime. youre welcome up here too if youre riding across western canada we are about 7 hours west of Winnipeg or about an 8 hours ride east of Calgary on the transcanada so it makes a great stopover point. (its all prairie scenery so it isnt traditional but Ive heard its a lot like Texas with the agriculture and cattle ranches) Brian
