You're totally blowing my idea of a Canuk. Thought everyone in Canada owned a snowmobile and stared at a hole in the ice all winter.

| | Re: Ontario Rally?!?!? LOL! That's hilarious! I've never been ice fishing, never built an igloo, but I am used to the cold! Lol. I don't ride a snowmobile, but I do have an idea using some brackets like training wheels, and replace the wheels with two short skis, that way I can drift corners in the snow, and not worry about laying it down! Lol, I'll be doing that soon.  |

Thousands of people in the grt north live a stones throw from the states wayyyy down there in the south. Your right tho Kev, I should be more tolerant of this cold stuff. I think the pain I suffer from arthritis takes its toll. A few decades ago I was riding my motorcycle doing 40 mph and hit a car that ran a stop sign. Two years after that the pain began its delightful course which in my case will be a lifetime. Soooo let the good weather prevail lol.  |

| | Re: Ontario Rally?!?!? Hey I'm just throwing out ideas, siring the pot as it were. You won't catch me out on my bike when the temps are below 50º. After today's ride I think my bike is going onto hibernation in a nice heated garage.  |

| | Re: Ontario Rally?!?!? I suppose Thunder Bay, Ontario is far away for most of you. I know that Ontario is a big province. If it were Thunder Bay, that would be in driving (truck or car and taking the bike with me) distance for me in northeastern Minnesota. Thunder Bay is mighty nice country overlooking Lake Superior... big tourist draw in the summer and a great place to ride. Would there likely be hassles from the border people for bringing in a motorbicycle... unregistered, etc.? I forget, do you need a passport now to go to Canada? I don't have one. Used to be we'd go up to Fort Francis next to International Falls for a day trip. As a kid I liked the Canadian money... pictures of the queen on the bills and odd shaped nickles if I remember right. Actually I still like money. Wouldn't mind having some.
How about Thunder Bay?

| | Re: Ontario Rally?!?!? There's an engine dealer in Thunder Bay, Chris Hill. I'll try to email him to see if he thinks a set up there would be feasable. |

| | Re: Ontario Rally?!?!? Thunder Bay would be fun, I think the Atomic Zombie author lives there so there would be a lot of odd bikes rolling around town. However, the US Customs are bastiges and I fear they would not allow me back in with my bike. Seriously, I have crossed a few times this year and they are bad news.
