  1. I was hoping for some suggestions on where I could pick up a "Trailer Isolation Relay" in Canada. I need to wire up my Aluma MCT trailer and thought it would be wise to use a relay kit to protect the bikes wiring. I was also wondering how many actually use a relay kit. Is it really necessary or will the Venture handle the trailers LED lights without overloading anything. Thanks Jim
  2. I have a 155/80/15 on order and wondering how good it is. I find a 155 or 165 are hard to find in Canada...or at least in the Maritime. I hope it is a descent one. Thanks
  3. Well, I have most of the info anyway. I have negotiated what I believe is a good price...if you don't agree, sorry. Anyone who wants just diaphragms, I have negotiated a price with Sirius Consolidated, here in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. They don't deal with the slider kits, just diaphragms. Regular price for a set of four was $89.00.....we can get a set of four for $79.99 US. They will ship to anywhere in Canada or United States for $13.75 per order. If you want to order from them, direct your email to Martin at this email address: sci@siriusconinc.com and indicate that this is a VentureRider order, for that price. Their part number is called SD-1 I am working ( slowly through emails ) with an outfit called Carb Kit Capital for slide assemblies but haven't got a firm price from them yet. I'll post that when I get it. Edited by Don Nelson to reflect price increase.
  4. I invite everyone that is also using facebook to keep in touch with their friends and family to check into this facebook link. http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=66782887392 This is a group of young (early 20's) university students from Victoria BC Canada. These ... let me call them kids, and yes I am the proud father of one of them..... are setting up to ride bicycles across canada to raise money for a very very good cause that should be very close in any long term riders mind, Brain Injury. This facebook link is only to help build awareness that these kids are going ahead to do this.... there is no request for money anywhere. My son Brad (22 yrs old) is one of the driving forces behind this and is going to be the main rider. He will have one of his female and one male cousin join him on the ride. He will likely have have my 18 yr old son drive a motor home... if they can get one.... Trec bicycles are giving him some bicycles at cost and many other sponsors are coming on board as they progress. Ride safe all................ Kevin
  5. I am trying to order a set of chrome exhaust clamps in Canada. There are several references to USA suppliers (see below)- but not manufacturers. Would someone have the make and model of the best clamps to use for the RK muffler mod so that I could source them in canada? With a 28% exchange rate - these parts get expensive to order from the USA. Appreciate your help! Fits all 1 3/4" exhaust headers when attaching 1 7/8" O.D. mufflers Part Number: 24032 V twin mfg and are part # 31-9920
  6. For my signature I have 2 where I have ridden maps, one of USA and one of Canada. And every so often I log on site and there will be 2 USA maps or 2 Canada maps and I will have to go back and redo the signature again to get it back the way it was. What am I doing wrong?
  7. I am sure youve all heard me complaing about the cold around here the last few days. Well here is a story of a guy riding his scoot across Canada to raise money for Juvenile Diabetes. For those of you that may not know the overnight low the night before he arrived it was -40c which also happens to be -40F WITHOUT any windchill factored in. This guy is dedicated to his cause, I hope he raises a ton of donations for Juvenile Diabetes. Crossing Canada in January is gonna be one cold and long trip!!!!! http://www.leaderpost.com/Health/motorcycle+tour+raise+awareness+about+diabetes/1180062/story.html Brian
  8. I was listening to the national Weather on CBC radio this morning and heard a strange statement or two. The first was that my city Of Regina SK. Canada was colder this morning than the temp at the north pole. Something is really messed up with a weather pattern when I am in a minus 33c deepfreeze and the north pole is only minus 24c. The other fact that surprised me that it looks like this year will be the first year since 1971 that Canadians from east coast to west coast will be having a snow on-the-ground White Christmas. I figured that Canada was snowy around Christmas a LOT more often than that. CMON GLOBAL WARMING!!!!! Brian
  9. I promised I let you know as soon as I heard from Alan. He is tired and worn out but he is OK. Alan was only able to drive about 250 to 300 miles a day, due to blizzard and white out conditions and more than once he had some daubts about making it. He is in Canada now, 700 miles away from Seattle. Tomorrow he will try to cross the Rockies. I guess that's no picknic either but atleast we have communication back. Thank's to all of you who gave me strenght and hope.
  10. Thanks to Run-n-bare for sharing this with us: British news paper salutes Canada . . . this is a good read. It is funny how it took someone in England to put it into words... Sunday Telegraph Article the UK wires: Salute to a brave and modest nation - Kevin Myers, 'The Sunday Telegraph' LONDON : Until the deaths of Canadian soldiers killed in Afghanistan , probably almost no one outside their home country had been aware that Canadian troops are deployed in the region. And as always, Canada will bury its dead, just as the rest of the world, as always will forget its sacrifice, just as it always forgets nearly everything Canada ever does.. It seems that Canada 's historic mission is to come to the selfless aid both of its friends and of complete strangers, and then, once the crisis is over, to be well and truly ignored. Canada is the perpetual wallflower that stands on the edge of the hall, waiting for someone to come and ask her for a dance. A fire breaks out, she risks life and limb to rescue her fellow dance-goers, and suffers serious injuries. But when the hall is repaired and the dancing resumes, there is Canada, the wallflower still, while those she once helped Glamorously cavort across the floor, blithely neglecting her yet again. That is the price Canada pays for sharing the North American continent with the United States , and for being a selfless friend of Britain in two global conflicts. For much of the 20th century, Canada was torn in two different directions: It seemed to be a part of the old world, yet had an address in the new one, and that divided identity ensured that it never fully got the gratitude it deserved. Yet it's purely voluntary contribution to the cause of freedom in two world wars was perhaps the greatest of any democracy.Almost 10% of Canada 's entire population of seven million people served in the armed forces during the First World War, and nearly 60,000 died. The great Allied victories of 1918 were spearheaded by Canadian troops, perhaps the most capable soldiers in the entire British order of battle. Canada was repaid for its enormous sacrifice by downright neglect, it's unique contribution to victory being absorbed into the popular Memory as somehow or other the work of the 'British.' The Second World War provided a re-run. The Canadian navy began the war with a half dozen vessels, and ended up policing nearly half of the Atlantic against U-boat attack. More than 120 Canadian warships participated in the Normandy landings, during which 15,000 Canadian soldiers went ashore on D-Day alone. Canada finished the war with the third-largest navy and the fourth largest air force in the world. The world thanked Canada with the same sublime indifference as it had the previous time. Canadian participation in the war was acknowledged in film only if it was necessary to give an American actor a part in a campaign in which the United States had clearly not participated - a touching scrupulousness which, of course, Hollywood has since abandoned, as it has any notion of a separate Canadian identity. So it is a general rule that actors and filmmakers arriving in Hollywood keep their nationality - unless, that is, they are Canadian. Thus Mary Pickford, Walter Huston, Donald Sutherland, Michael J. Fox, William Shatner, Norman Jewison, David Cronenberg, Alex Trebek, Art Linkletter and Dan Aykroyd have in the popular perception become American, and Christopher Plummer, British. It is as if, in the very act of becoming famous, a Canadian ceases to be Canadian, unless she is Margaret Atwood, who is as unshakably Canadian as a moose, or Celine Dion, for whom Canada has proved quite unable to find any takers. Moreover, Canada is every bit as querulously alert to the achievements of its sons and daughters as the rest of the world is completely unaware of them. The Canadians proudly say of themselves - and are unheard by anyone else - that 1% of the world's population has provided 10% of the world's peacekeeping forces. Canadian soldiers in the past half century have been the greatest peacekeepers on Earth - in 39 missions on UN mandates, and six on non-UN peacekeeping duties, from Vietnam to East Timor, from Sinai to Bosnia. Yet the only foreign engagement that has entered the popular non-Canadian imagination was the sorry affair in Somalia , in which out-of-control paratroopers murdered two Somali infiltrators. Their regiment was then disbanded in disgrace - a uniquely Canadian act of self-abasement for which, naturally, the Canadians received no international credit. So who today in the United States knows about the stoic and selfless friendship its northern neighbour has given it in Afghanistan ? Rather like Cyrano de Bergerac , Canada repeatedly does honourable things for honourable motives, but instead of being thanked for it, it remains something of a figure of fun. It is the Canadian way, for which Canadians should be proud, yet such honour comes at a high cost. This past year more grieving Canadian families knew that cost all too tragically well. Lest we forget.
  11. Anyone shipped to the United Kingdom ? Any problems? Had a few ebay requests but I have never shipped other than U.S. and Canada
  12. WOW I just came back from Napa here in Windsor and I bought a can of Seafoam. It cost me $11.90 plus taxes (cdn) I complained about the price to the counter clerk and he said that everyone says the same. I told him I could get it in Detroit for $6.99 to $7.99 a can. I'll stock up there next time. Then I was following someone's post about using Lucas Power Steering Stop Leak to stop a front fork leak and that was $13.21 plus taxes for a small bottle. I sure hope it stops my small leak. What a ripoff it is in Canada. DonB
  13. Maybe someone here wants to know about this..... It looks nice in the pictures. Courtenay is aproximately 3.5 hrs North of Victoria BC Canada .... As west as you can get with out getting wet in Canada http://www.usedvictoria.com/classified-ad/6866381:canada:
  14. Looking for someone with experience with this. I am looking at buying a MCT trailer from a company in Iowa, pick it up hopefully with the bike and bring it back to Ontario Canada. Does anyone have experience with what happens at the Canadian border when I tow it in? Is it easy to register it in Ontario? Any advice is always appreciated. Jim
  15. The wife and I do an annual wedding anniversary ride. Last year we did Macinaw, year before that Serenity Springs, and this year is Niagara Falls. We are staying in the Embassy suites in Ontario. We are leaving from South Bend, IN. Trying to decide which is the better ride, taking the toll road stateside all the way there, or going through Canada. Does anyone have an opinion in either case - anyone have any suggestions, advice, good places to stop, etc? Thanks!

    Where to buy

    Harbor Freight has a great little trailer it seems. The catch is I am in Canada, and they won't ship here. I've looked into getting it shipped to a friend in the US, but then the cost to get it here is not worh it. Any information on a company in Canada that sells a similar trailer to the Harbor Freight trailer? I've searched the internet, but maybe I am missing something...
  17. Just got back from an "almost" cross country trip...Virginia Beach to Idaho. Great trip, so-so weather for the first half. Now planning for next summer's trip. Ship the bike to New York, ride thru New England to Halifax, Canada then back thru Canada to Vancouver ...coast2coast. Here's pics for any interested http://myweb.cableone.net/cblowe
  18. Well,after being home from the rally,I'm just not feeling myself. Dr.Shari has diognosed the problem as "Timmies Withdrawl" She thinks we may have to head back to Canada to get me a large Ice Cap... I usually don't like cappachino,but those were really good...:D:D
  19. We have 3 couples planning a vacation through the Northeast in August starting at Niagara Falls on the Canadian side. Problem is: 2 of the guys will be "carrying handguns" and have ccw license. Is there any place we can check these in on the American side until we get back fm Canada? We could leave them home but we really don't want to. I'd appreciate any help on this besides the obvious of leaving them home. Eddie Flinchum--Central Kentucky
  20. Thought this was pretty cool to keep a little one from falling off. Said he bought it in canada but it was made for horse back riding and snowmobiling. Jerry
  21. I am heading out on a big trip in the next few weeks and I was wondering if anyone knows of a large Yamaha/Star dealer that carries a lot of accessories and apparel in the store. Our local dealers only carry a few t-shirts and hats and have to order-in anything that you want to see. I would like to actually see the accessories and apparel in-store. We will be traveling east through the upper States (Montana to Maine) and back west through Canada. TIA
  22. Now here's a trike like you've never seen before... powered by a Fiero engine. These folks have travelled across Canada & back on this. Ran across them on a weekend ride last weekend.
  23. Found out by surprise when I went in for a can of S/F that its on sale almost half price for the month of June in Ontario CAnada. Time to stock up! Pass it on. Cheers, Brian H. Uxbridge Ont
  24. Guys and gals, how do you get the map of the USA & Canada to show up when you post or reply to a post, of where you have been in our two great countries? Also how do you get the pictures on your VRPhotos and vBPicGallery? Thanks all Joop:7_6_3[1]:
  25. I have visores 2006 Venture for all lights and installed all but the head light, I don't know how to install the headlight without braking it. Any help Thanks Ron Dunne PEI Canada
