Well I left for Ontario on the Harley and made it as far as Woss before hitting a deer (technically the deer hit me) The deer ran out and kissed my front wheel then spun around and slammed into the side of the bike. So there I was, going 110 down the highway with a broken leg looking for a place to park. Could have been worse... the deer was dead on the road.

Anyway... in a cast now for 6-8 weeks so I may make a few rides by the summer's end with any luck.

Can anyone one recommend a good pair of Steve Austin boots? (Rebuilt crime-fighting superhero not the wrestler)

A loose plan for me is to catch the 4:30 PM to Mcneill and head south from there between 5 and 6.... For the first nights I would look at taking Memeky main between Sayward and C.R. and setting up camp at one of the lakes.... Pull out of there early Fri AM and get into the Orca camp early afternoon....

I would be in to that 9 sounds good to me. how long do you think it would take the bike smith to put some new rubber on for me? and would we be able to make a super quick stop at Courtenay motor sports they have a head light lens for me to pick up?

To put on new rubber usually takes about 15-20 mins per wheel....I usually pop my wheels off for him and it makes it that much faster.... I'll be refreshing my front tire as well... No problem stopping at Courtenay motorsports as it's right on the way...

Dennis, I'll be throwing another V tire on the front, the last one was pretty good...

The V is very similar to an MT 21 but come 6 ply rather than 4... They are priced considerably lower and wear down about the same...

Don't know how you plan to travel south but FYI COMOX LAKE MAIN IS CLOSED! Active logging 7 days a week at least until the end of the summer according to the security guy.
See you at Orca.
