Brendan,

That's the one ...hehe. That was one of the small logs. I remember going over ones alot larger and they kept coming one after another. I feel great exposing Fryguy riding like a squid to the Bergites :twisted: I guess we have to give him some slack since it was his pre-Berg days.

Sorry to hear that section is not used in the race anymore.

Its great to see that Lee is a mere mortal like the rest of us. I was under the impression he never crashed. Cant say "went down" cause he performed the perfect two step dismount with the arms raised like " I won". hehehe
Being from Nevada I better buy some logs to practic on since they are not part of my normal obstacles. I would have truned around at the first one and said the trail is blocked get a saw.hahaha
Cand wait.

well if i can figure out how to sneek by dudley do-right and his friends at the border i will be there. sounds like great fun and i would suggest leaving the shrubbry at home found out the hard way on that many years ago.

but you should take charlie with you shaggy! you know he deserves to take a trip :wink:

hey fry is this ride going to be anywhere near banff? was there in the 80's skiing and that place is beautiful. hopefully i won't run into the same border patrol guy.

Shaggy,

Crowsnest is a couple hours south of Banff. It is close to the Alberta/British Columbia border and just north of the Canada/USA border. Montana is just south of this area.

hi fry

well unless one of our newer members comes through i doubt it very much! i am about to have my 'anus' horribles as HM Liz said about 15 years ago. i have said 2007 and that is what i will save for if that is where and when the boys have another ride.

i look upon moab as truly one of the greater things i've done and seen in my life. i wish brian good luck in whatever he now does. shame he dropped off the edge of the world.

if any of the europeans are thinking of going over i think they would have said it. keep having the force rides but don't forget that unless you call them 'grade 2' then they'll dilute. you should stop calling each get together the 'greatest' and name the date of the 'big one'.

2006 fine. i'll just catch the 2007 'big one'. i doubt it'll ever be the same again though. berger's phuqing amazing jesture was awesome. special. brian's offer of collection, accomodation, grand canyon and delivery is still very special.

the scenery-wow!

i wish the site every success and the marquee but soon, with all the reliable machines inviting a slightly shallower owner, the fact that SM riders appear to be egocentric (i.e. at the other end of the spectrum) makes me think that we'll never be that tight and back there again.

but life moves on and sometimes we need a prod and other times UHE changes them for you. if i had a choice i'd come over just to meet fry, tuts, berger, the crazy canooks and a few more again and ride off in a pack 'o 6.

i don't need a free T-shirt; just good mates.

Could not have said it better

Everyone,

I spoke with a very friendly lady in Blairmore, Alberta Canada today, in search of information as to what is required by us to be able to ride in Alberta, Canada.

All vehicles, including trailers are required to have insurance. I called Progressive Insurance and surprisingly they have Husaberg listed and my 2002 FE501e would cost me $75 for a years coverage.

You will need to provide documentation of said insurance when entering Canada and anytime a Ranger asks for it..

You need to bring proof of U.S. citizenship (drivers license will do).

Your bike must have a working headlight & taillight (headlight must shine at least 30 meters) per Ranger she spoke with.

All bikes must have a muffler and spark arrestor.

I hope this information is helpful to those of you are planning on going in 2006 as I am.

Mike

well i ain't coming but i will ask the following;

name me an international airport or two that connects please?

name methe canadian county/state you'll all be in so i can look up the map and follow yer progress?

Hey Taffy. If you change your mind and happen get a cheaper flight to Detroit I can drive ya over. If anyone else out in the east is going and would like to talk about driving over with me let me know. I'm always up for a good road trip.

I used to live in Montana so I know that drive well. I cant wait for the whole thing, drive and all. I miss the mountains out there and to pass up a chance to take the hussy and great riding? No way. Besides hard core is where the fun is.

cheers lubbz!

enjoy the ride and i'll save for 2007 probably.

regards

Taffy
