My every day life too! Between using up all my holidays and trying to balance homelife - the riding for the balance of 2020 is going to be limited sad to say....but hope to hook up on the Indian Arm / Norton Lake part of this trip if it's done on a Sat or Sun and I have the required kitchen...

Work work work....otherwise would have joined. Will have to check out Norton Lake. Flash some pics if you can?

Nice report...I think I'm in love with your bike!

Hey Ron - was that you on the KTM990 that I met?

McNutt....sounds very intriguing!

Hello folks - here is my Ride Report for this past Sunday & Monday; I'm doing my best to squeak out even an overnighter if I can before the rains his us here in the West Coast. It was a last minute thing - got clearance from both bosses to take the Monday holiday, the most important one I...

I was trained as well during my Forestry days to drive in the middle of the road in order to access "the safer ditch" should it be needed. However, this weekend, I was closer to the right of a blind corner on Kookipi and 3 side by sides ripped past at tremendous speed heading back to East...

Hello everyone - I'm guessing this is where I'm supposed to start - dues paid and happy to be a new member! My name is Sean, I live in North Van. Rode trail bikes as a kid (Trail 70 / Hodaka 100 / RM125) - hurt myself on the RM so did the "logical thing" and traded it in on a sport bike in...

Been drooling over a chance to ride the Super Dual X for a while - 164Kgs, though in this review they say the low end fuel mapping is not so good - I like a bike I can lug down like a KLR or XT while reviewer says you have to be on the throttle with this one. Anyhow - looks like very...

LOL - yeah, we would land at the house, have showers - head up to the Alpine for dinner and think of you poor guys out there (and 1 gal I remember). There was one group of lightning strikes we all had to hit - I remember being dropped at the top of a mountain way up Kwoik I think - put out a...

Wow - I'm going to have to pull out the album and scan a few. Here is the house we lived in - took this last summer when I went looking at some of the reforestation work we did. Three of us Forest Techs lived here and 3 full time Heli-Attack - then I think 6 more were in Hope I believe and...

Here is a comparison - 1989 to 2019 for the old helipad beside the forest service house....Herb the Road Superintendant for BCFP / Fletcher Challeng who lives across the street still tends his garden. He retired in 1990 and is now in his early 90's - we had a great chat when this pic was taken...

Our call sign was P72 - here is a pick of us filling pumpkins for Gerry...maybe feeding your crew on the hill???? Small world eh?

I was with the Forestry Dept after graduation from BCIT. Summer of 1989 Fletcher could subsidize our wage by having us do Heli-Attack as well - forest tech work during the day - on call 10AM to 10PM if I recall correctly. Did 18 fires summer of 1989 - only felt safe flying with Gerry from...

LOL - you don't happen to mean this type of crew do ya???? We probably shared the Forest Service house just as you enter town from the South?

Thanks Russ for the clarification. I'd love to meet up with you and learn more about the BCORMA! Will DM you next time I'm heading out the valley. Hoping to do Harrison to Boston Bar before the snow flies - not sure if that is an AT or an XT trip yet...heard they rebuilt the Forest Service...

A bit late to the party it seems - I must have just missed alex@bushpigperformance on his groups way up to China Head Mountain August 9/10/11. My original plan was what I was calling the "Tale of Three Towers"! Myself and a buddy on XT250's were going to unload the bikes at Pemberton and...
