Member Contributer Thumper 8 Posted July 21, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted July 21, 2011 Heads-up to out of province riders that BC's new speeding laws are being vigourously enforced this summer, and 40 kph over the limit leads to vehicle impoundment. Evidently lots of out of province (read Alberta and Washington State) motorists are being caught now that the summer holidays are here. Pick your spots before rippin' it up! Here is the latest impoundment story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Polarbear Posted July 21, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted July 21, 2011 Hey Mike, Did the Honda dealer (Main Jet) mention anything about giving us a deal on accessories and tires? I will need a new set of tires soon and maybe if the price is right and they can fit me in I'll have it done out there. Thanks, Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superfunkomatic Posted July 22, 2011 Author Share Posted July 22, 2011 He hasn't said yet. If you'd like to help out you could contact him and see what kind of sponsorship he's willing to offer. I'm in Eagle Plains today - about 400 kilometers from the 'end of the road' in Inuvik. mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Stéphane Posted July 24, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted July 24, 2011 It's official! I won't be going. I'm still waiting for parts for my bike, and I'm going on a hunting trip on September 1st. So, I have to make a decision and the budget + timeline didn't work in my favour.

We will be camping in the area so I can stop by and ask what they would do for a discount / prizes if they have not already sent you the info. I PM'D you my cell # so you can send me a text and let me know if you want me to do this. I will not have any computer access for the next 7 days or so but I can still get texts in the area we will be in. Gerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I'm sorry you feel that, but the major issue is I still don't have a motorcycle, so that pretty much made the decision for me. I'm waiting for parts from Singapore, and from the dealer. Then, I have to figure out why the tach isn't working. Long story short, I had to make a decision and hunting seemed like the easiest one. Enjoy the trip guys, I wish I could go, but I just can't this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superfunkomatic Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 Looks like just about everyone has paid for shirts. With the flurry of e-mails from paypal while I was away I forgot to coordinate - paypal name, member name, real name. Could you send me a PM with: Your 'real' name Your screen name Paypal Name I'll use this to confirm everyone's payments and also create some name tags for the first night. Thanx mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be the amazing McRorie - Live Electronic! at http://mcrorie.net/ I think you better clear this with Radar first, or at least make sure he's fully sedated before the repeat performance. You've been warned... Edit - You're safe booking McRorie. Radar has other travel plans and won't be joining us this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superfunkomatic Posted August 10, 2011 Author Share Posted August 10, 2011 T-shirts arrived today and are off getting printed. They're going to look nicey nicey! Just have to arrange the prizes and awards and we'll be all set. Looks like most people are in for a short day ride. We can take a vote when we all get together and if someone wants to lead longer/smaller rides we can have smaller groups go on different rides. Now, everyone talk to your weather deity and make sure we have good weather. Some of you may be leaving earlier than others. If you have an emergency or anything comes up please call me, or text me, to let me know - (403) 874-9254 - mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thursday is going to be a sweet morning getting up at the usual time but turning left on the highway instead of straight across to work. Funk, we're going to have to do a group pic with the Sheen shirts,,, you know, otherwise, who would believe it. Damn it, I'm not supposed to be getting pumped about this yet,,, still to far off.

That's too bad Auggius! I'm not sure I'd fit in a medium, and I'm not sure I need TWO Sheen shirts, but if you want to drop off the money on your way to Vancouver and you want me to bring it to Mike next week, let me know. I promise it won't disappear in any frivolous activities.... such as drinking ..... I'm in Port Coquitlam btw,and I'M a paypal kinda guy, so if you want to, I could pay Mike as soon as you give me the dough. Just saying.
