when they do the helicopter attack on that beach to 'the ride of the valkrys'. it's the scene before the immortal words "i love the smell of napalm in the morning".

Ok I got the goods on the insurance and reg topic finally.
We all need insurance, it doesn't matter if your from Delaware or DC. What the SRD ( Sustainable Resource and Delepment , the agency that governs and polices the public land which we will ride on) suggested was that you get 'rider' policy for the period of time you are up here. You need " Public Liability and Public Damage Insurance", protecting others for your own misfortune in hitting them. You will have to get this from your home state/country as they will not insure you here if you are not a resident.
the registration will get waived if you are here less than 14 days.
I hope this helps define the insurance issue. I'll gladly help some more.
Mid August?

I got a street legal bike with Liability insurance. I think That is what you are saying we need right? Did you get anything else when you came down here?
You got a approx time line yet?

Hey Guys,
As I mentioned in an earlier post, you need to have a working headlight and tail light. No mention was made of the having to be street legal. All vehicles or trailers brought into Canada are required to have insurance and you need to be able to provide proof of insurance if asked.
I'm still interested in layin' tracks in that Canadian soil. Times-a-weston' Fryguy, we need lots of details. Lodging information would be a huge help. Sounds like there may not be too many riders from this site that would will be able to go.
Otherwise I'm all for Idaho City. It's closer and hopefully more of the Husaberg community would be able to attend.

wonder if dale can send that fanzine out he does sparingly and occasionally to hit the whole of north american members of the website?
you know, pictures of moab etc etc
that newsletter goes to all that agreed to it which might be 90% of members for all i know.
gotta be worth doing i'd have said and then when you go back to the USA the year after it'll be running on it's own methane!

Check this site for general info and accomodations. The Best canadian is recommended ( has a hot tub ) and so is the Highwood. Both have restaurants, the Best Canadian has a lounge for you lizards as well.

Liability is what you need. Lights, spark arrestor, and sound is all they spec for the bike itself. However they do not sound test yet, a moto muffler is not only loud, but noticed...
As long as you have the liability insurance, your dual sport bike will work too. The Riding area is 5 min from the hotels in Blairmore. I will camp at at a staging area, no camping charge, and all are welcome to stay there that want to bring a 'caravan'. There will be no hook ups where I am staying.
The Crowsnest Pass has all services, and tons of heritage and attractions to spend a day with the family, hiking, golfing, fishing ( liscenses available everywhere ) atv rentals, etc. The region caters to offroad/etv/snowmobilers.
More stuff to read
www.innontheborder.com is an old railway house, very rustic, but well managed. Absolute best food, anywhere. Rooms to rent as well as cabins.
Crowsnest links
Alberta Off Highways website
So I'm thinking August 17 -20, 2006, Thurs to Sun. However, longer shorter weekend is ... well ... whenever you can make it.
I hope this answers most of the q's for now.

Oh and someone is going to ask about jetting.
We are staging at say 3000ft, and we can be at 9000ft in 30 minutes, give or take. I can later set you up with the basic settings, from there, we just ride with it!!!! ALtitude, air density, humidity, temp all vary greatly depending on location. SO.... set it up with the basic good settings...then we ride.....

All you need for motivation to come to Canada is to look at the picture of the sick downhill in my gallery. That is an hour or two up the mountain range from where Fryguy is planning on having the event. Riding in the Rockies is mind blowing.
I am sure that Fry will have areas picked out that will more than accomodate all skill levels...from the folks who want a relaxing cruise through the single track and fireroads to those who want to punish themselves with serious technical sections.

Very correct Coffin.
Trails will vary from wide atv/snowmobile trails which will take you in the same direction and most viewspots as the AAA trails. And there is everything in between as well.
I'll get some maps from the local snowmobile/atv club for us. All the snowmobile trails are marked and numbered I believe, but agian I'll check.
I may spend a week end or two prior to our event marking trails for those who head out on their own.
Check out all the links that I provided and google the Crowsnest pass for more. Honestly the area has way too much to offer in tourism for me to post here.
Sentinel, I hope you can get away from the chopper, you can't miss this!!!
Coffin, will you have "work" in Calgary that you have to attend in Aug?
Cheers

I talked it over with my dad and we are going to plant a little earlier this year. As well if the ride overlaps with chopping I'll just find someone to replace me. So I can go for sure. Now to convince my parents I need thier fifth wheel.
Just curious, are you going to be at the Red Deer bike show on saturday?
I plan on stopping by.

Re: Force Ride, 06, north of the 49th, in the Canadian Rocki
Well, what can I say. I was stuck in West Virgina with no bike and none of my riding crew. The locals and the gang that were there for the ride seemed to be looking at me like I was some kind of fancy foreign appetizer. I figured if I cuddled up with the mannequin that they would be nervous enough to leave me alone!!! :lol: :lol:
You have no worries....besides, I am sure that Fryguy will keep me tied to a tree when I am not riding

Dear Bergs:
I have been remiss in my chatting. I have been injured and recovering from surgery, but I thought I should write and update you Bergs thinking of Canada.
Anyone thinking about a ride in Canada this summer had best check the latest border travel restrictions. You may need a passport and if you have a criminal conviction of almost any kind, especially DUII, Canada will either not let you in -- i.e. stop you at the border-- or, if they do let you in and then later find out about your nefarious criminal history, then your Berg and your gear could be impounded (translated: pay the storage lot a lot of money and maybe never get any of it back) and you will be removed from the country in custody. NO I AM NOT KIDDING!!!
Because of political and economic tensions between the US and Canada, terrorism and firearm smuggling into Canada from the USA, Canadians shopping tax free in America, etc..the Canadians are tightening the border belt. Rumor control has it they may now REQUIRE a valid passport. If you do not have a passport, you may not get in. If you have a criminal conviction, even a very old one, and they find out, you will get the mounty boot, even if you have a passport. An ounce of prevention.
I have not been good at checking my Berg box for mail. If you want to contact me for any reason, try my e-mail at [email protected].
