Dave,

Great ride report..You missed your vocation in life (joke you know).

Maybe I can get a copy of your pictures next time we meet!!

Ride safe,

Taff.

You had the weather for a great ride too. How did the B2B radios work?

Not so good. Couldn't tell if it was my radio or the others. Range was so so. I could hear well, but transmission was spotty.

Dave,

if you like to try a radio that has more range I will let you try the one I have, you will need to get a connector for the Kenwood TK3101 radio, Bryan has the same radio it has 2 watts and most of the others only has .5 watts, let me know

The Midland 900 GXT has five watts. I think it may be finagling the settings on the Starcomm. I may have another bad board.

If questioned about our purpose for visiting, we would all recite: "We are traveling into Canada to escape the socialist revolution being wrought by the great oppressor, Obama!"

Ummmmmmmm, no. :nono:

A vast majority of U.S. citizens and the rest of the world population thanks the holy stars for Obama. We are FINALLY freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! unk:

:****:

I knew I couldn't get up and out earlier enough to join you, but I did get out and ride. I think I spotted the "gang" when you were returning along Chuckanut (sp). The roads were clear and the weather was nice!

But it's soooo fun to pull a chain.... on sunny days only, though.

You missed out on a super spring ride! I'm sorta kinda twistied out........ well, maybe not. I've been out all day on my ZX-14. :yahoo:

Sorry I missed the ride - momma had me out doing our part to save the economy.

Regarding radios, I think I may have a fetish for those things and have gone through lots of them. I can tell you that I have had to fire for life all Midland radios. Regardless of the power rating, they just don't play well and especially with other brands. I sent 4 back that were terrible and the company sent me 4 new ones of their top line - they sucked as well.

The crowd I run with has settled out on Motorola GMRS radios. They play well with each other, at least, and even the old low wattage one work really well. (The high wattage buys you a bit more range. It is all line of sight, so many times the extra range is useless).

The taller Motorola models (heavier) are really good.

I didn't see anything and I don't know anything. I did ask the Canadian Custom agent if she wanted to get on and ride with us... She noticed the AE didn't have a clutch handle and asked me where is the "thing and how do you get it in gear? " . I like Canadians B)

I think everyone hit on her. I asked her where all the BC wimmens hung out. She said. "Right here!". I like Canadians, too. B)

Good ride, good weather, good riders and one squid but I did behave. :innocent:

Hudson, you crack me up :rofl:

Fast guys, slow guys and in between guys and everyone was smart enough to ride there own pace!

Got to meet a lot of new faces and see some that have been missing [barry the world travelier].

Great day. Dave, thanks for putting this togeather!

Nope, didn't see a wheelie, stoppie or smokey burnout from the Ducati crowd all day. However, I was appalled at some of the wanton hooliganism I witnessed. There was total disregard of traffic laws, abuse of public officials and a general lack of common sense. It was a really good time.

Only Barabus in his yellow suit can make an FJR look small. Marcus gets the Farkle award - I don't know what it all does but I swear I saw him teleport past me. Bob, we really missed you, we will tie a ribbon on your finger next time. Taff is just a hooligan. Fun ride, I'd go again with you guys any time. Thanks for letting me tag along.
