I think there's 2 of us coming from Cranbrook. I was thinking either the dual sport or the poker run. Does anybody know how strict the bike inspections are? I've got the end baffle out of the exhaust on my XR 650L. It's not ridiculously loud but may be over 96db.

Hawk, I've lost track of who's travelling and motelling with whom; maybe we can clarify here?
Blue Shadow:
Am I correct in thinking that the above is accurate and the following are doing their own thing?

This will be my 7th year. Never saw tech inspections or sound checks. This place and the whole experience seems 'beyond thunderdome'. Epic.
Hopefully we'll all connect :hb:at some point - watch for BC plates.

Correct. It's good to miss the initial start / gong show. The line-up for tickets is painfully long no matter when you start.
We'll be under the care of Drill Sergeant Neil - that means 'up at dark oh-five hundred', so we'll likely be there for 7ish. To his credit, Neil explains that this helps us get in our 2-3 laps of the course:shock:before drinking I mean hitting the road for our long return drive.
Be prepared for theweather conditions (all 3 seasons): The start can be surprisingly cold. The rain can come in at velocity sideways. The sun can get you pretty warm. The dust and lack of vision is brutal. The mud and water crossings are 'sporty'. (We typically get all these conditions each time we attend!)
