I don't know, even rough planning on the back of Bungie's mythical map, it's minimum for me, 5 days to BC, 3 days at NAFO, 3 days to Hyder, 4 days to Yellowknife, and 7 days back to Ottawa = 22 days and I haven't even smelled a damn rose!!! Plus the only bit I haven't already done is Hyder and...

Mine suddenly stopped working at a gas stop in Tenn a couple of years back at 90K km. Dealer did a bypass with an ATV switch and still going strong, (if I can just remember to use the ATV key and not the FJR key lol.) Some day I take the ignition apart and resolder, and maybe wash my bike at the...

Funny I just happen to have a class 6 beer truck license, so I'll drive if you wish :)

That's the first time I've ever seen a reference to "southern" Canada by anyone who isn't Inuit :)

Famous beer lines heard at previous CFRs! :) "Hi Don that's a fine looking beer you have there. I'll just take a little taste.... "Ey Scott let me hold your beer while you dig into that third lobster... " Hey anyone got a cold one? All I've got is that warm stuff from my tankbag.... "Can I...

ok Don that made me laugh +1 for you :lol: yep there is a Norton at Wheelsport 2 blocks from my house LOL. There are several other pictures on the web site as well. That's NOT me sitting on the bike btw but Fred the crusty old owner, who won't even sell you a bike if he doesn't like the cut...

Well there was no Norton at the Montreal show. The Triumph dealer said he tried to get one there but it fell through. On the bright side apparently my local dealer in Ottawa has one on the showroom floor; I'll check WheelSport out tomorrow. No snow going down to Montreal but a 2hr trip home...

yep we'll be there tomorrow :)

two stupid things that have delayed me on the road unnecessairly 1. the dreaded ignition switch failure. yeah I know its mainly for gen 2 bikes etc but its happened to gen 1 too. read up on it and carry the necessary stuff to do a field repair. See Scott's/canadian riders thread 2. you get a...

You'd invite anybody wouldn't you. I'm not riding with that AlaskaPierre fella; he's one mean dude :angry2:

me (at an apppropiate moment, rubbing her feet) : so Joanne what do you think about my heading out to BC this summer for CFR/NAFO? her: Whoa! I thought you said you were never going cross country again? her: and remember how mean some of the big boys were to you last time? her: especially...

Had one eye done in April last year and after 30 days of drops 4-5 times a day, I was able to participate in an early May track day on the FJR, in the cold and rain. :unsure: The main problem with getting one eye done is your spectacles are now wrong for the cataract eye, and since you...

I recommend prebooking some place reputable in Port Hardy. I got off the ferry at midnight and found my B&B room came complete with a pink Elvis theme room. I don't know what room the Harley rider on the same ferry trip got but he got there before me and was still there when I left at oh dark...

Happy Birthday Scott! and throw that chum(p) out of the airhole. It will keep the bears content for several months :lol:

kinda sucks we didn't get the ABS option here in Canada for the 03 too

This thread has been up for more than 4 hours and he hasn't jumped in? He's been napping a lot lately... :( a sure sign of diminished prowess!

Since you are crossing the river 172, 170 and 381 are all very nice (and it's 389 to Manic V , unless u are following Bungie :rolleyes: )
