Passed a MkII on Dallas Road on Thursday. Couldn't see very well due to the blinding sun. Looked like it might have been Kevin in Victoria. Not too many MC's wave at scooters.

Myself and Kevin (Kevinfalk on VR) headed out on Sunday for a nice approx. 800 km ride. From Stettler down through the Kananaskis and back. About 45 mins from home a deer flew out of the ditch and hit Kevin causing him to crash. I guess I paniced and grabbed to much brake to try and avoid everything and laid mine down also. Both of us faired pretty good, Kevin ended up with a broken ankle and a really sore shoulder. His bike not so good, the only thing not damaged is his new Russel Daylong seat. Myself, I ended up with road rash on my elbows, knees and hip. Bike got chewed up on the leftside pretty bad. Thank God for leathers is all I can say, they did a stand up job keeping the asphault from eating at my skin. My question though, does anyone have any tips on dealing with insurance . I know every state and province is different but anything might help. I just always get the feeling they're going to put the boots to ya in the end. Conrad

Mt daughter and I are going to tour Da UP next week. The only destination that is set in stone is KI Sawyer AFB. I was stationed there for 6.5 years in the late 80's and I would like to see how much has changed since it was shut down in 1995. Kevin

Well, unless someone gets off the fence and a settlement is reached on a pending civil law suit, looks like I will be sitting around in court waiting to testify rather than joining you good folks at Potato Creek. While these things usually end up settling on the first day of trial, I still have to block off the complete 3 days just in case. Anyway, I will be sending the sold tickets, plus a couple of hundred ticket blanks to Leadwolf56. So, those of you that have not had a chance to purchase the winning ticket, or would like to purchase a few more, check with Kevin (Leadwolf56) at the park. The tickets will be sent off Friday, so you still have a couple of days to make your donations to me via PayPal if you are so inclined. But after Friday, you will needc to see Kevin at the Park.

I have been visiting this site for the past four years mostly for the technical / modifications aspects and found great ideas and have applied a lot of them. Now I was wondering how many members are around the Montreal area? It would be great if we could arrange a meet and great in the near future. Kevin

I purchased a pair of E3's at the end of last season. I'm having the local dealer install them. Is $200 a fair price if I supply the tires? Kevin

Leadwolf, Tinkerbell and 93 Venture, for the impromptu meet and eat. Rhonda and I headed down their way on Firday and met up with them Saturday morning. We went down to look at a Bike for Rhonda, that 93 Venture went and looked at for us. After being somewhat disatisfied we had a nice lunch, and Darrin recomended heading to another Yamaha Dealer. Kevin phoned ahead and setup a test ride for Rhonda. When we got there they were ready for her to go for her test ride. We did not end up getting a bike, but we did find out, that the bikes Rhonda likes will have to have a few modifications for comfort and safety. Kevin guided back up to the highway and we headed home. Again thanks and we had a good day. PS I did not get one picture. Brad

I noticed the other day a wet spot under the bike and it was gas, it doesnt do it all the time and I smell gas alot on it since it was new. I stopped by dealer and talked to them and they said that they do that alot and uptil this year if they change the needle in the carb and something else it has been taking care of it, but he said since they have changed the formula on gas he is seeing more of it this year than before. Anyone have this problem? Thanks Kevin

Battery Indicator

I replaced the battery and the new one has a threaded filler cap and is to large for the wire that tells you when the water is low. What can I do? Thanks, Kevin -
