Ripping around Terrace - Feb 26

Hey guys. I will be in Terrace on Fri the 26th for the day. I am thinking of bringing the DR and slapping a day plate on it, or even just plating it and going for a rip around Terrace, if the weather is OK. This will be the first real ride on the DR so I am excited. If I get confident enough, and again if the roads are good, I might just rip to Kitimat.

I plan on leaving here at 8:00 am so I will be in Terrace around 10:30 or so. I have a social function starting around 6:00 pm so that leave a great part of the day to play.

Even if the weather sucks or no one is riding, I am still up for a coffee.

Whacha think?

Jim

I'm game for the 26th. I'll be slapping a plate on this weekend as the weatherman barks that it'll be 10C and sunny. Riding season is here, regardless of any possible minor blemishes. I know of another KLR'r who still has his plate on and is itching to go also.
I'll scout the Terrace area to see if there are any possibilities of getting DIRTY!:clap:

You might as well plate up as two day passes pays for a whole month of insurance. Anyhow I will come out rain or shine as I have Northwest gear (rain gear)!

:hb::woohoo:

RIGHT ON !!!!!!!!

I have rain gear as well, so I am planning on riding rain or shine, as long as the roads are OK.

Where do you guys want to meet? I am thinking around 11:00 since that will give me some time to get the bike out of the truck and get geared up.

Thanks for doing some scouting. I am up for dirty conditions.

See you guys soon. Looking forward to meeting y'all. Hopefully I can sleep the night before :clap:

I'll probably head out early AM and pre-scout a few faves, so 11:00ish @ the Hwy 16 A&W would be good so I could refuel my belly. Worst case if the Dirty spots are too snowy we could alternatively blast up the Nass road towards Lava Lake or burn to Rupert for a quick Java @ Cow Bay or lunch on the waterfront.

11:00 at the A&W works great for me. I will need to fuel my furnace as well. I will see you there.

I think the cops use that camera to keep an eye on the bar in the picture! lol

Our neighboring village is beautiful and quiet but it is not really known for its "large persuasive selection."According to a buddy it is kinda like going for lunch in the desert, you better bring it with you. (I'm an old married guy so I don't really know. ha ha)

Are you moving here or just coming for a visit? We always need more riders.

Snowmobile drags at the fairgrounds this Sunday!

It sure looks like the season is about to begin......time to wake up and get the pig out of retirement! Are you planning on heading this way Mika? If so you can lend a hand with the heated grips.:hb:

I will try to get out of work to ride with you guys for a bit on Friday. I must be owed a few hours. 11am at A+W would work for me. It is good to see that we have a few new faces in the NW, to hit the trails with us. I am working on my list of excuses for being late due to Mika's influence. At least when Warren was around, the better-half appreciated that I would probably be 'stuck' somewhere trying to dig or lift the bike out of a swamp:mad3:

The snowmobile drags poster says racing starts at 10am sharp. Regi between 8-9. Its only five bucks a head to get in to watch. There is a hard packed base for the track!

You will definetly find inexpensive homes in Hazelton. I like the "Two Mile" motto of "Traditionally non-conforming." It is posted on a sign there. The Bulkley Valley is the place to live! It rocks!

The season is about to begin! The roads are fairly dry but the trails are still crunchy and hard packed in the lower altitudes. I might have to try the studs out on the trail system this week.

I was talking with a friend and he said that a good route if it is open would be the back way to Kitimat through the Onion Lake area.

I do not know the snow conditions there, but from his explanation, this one sounded like fun. Just an idea.

Looking forward to meeting both of you sparklr and Kermode_Klr. Looks like I will be the black sheep with the white DR :)

Kermode, I am heading out to get my plates this morning and giving the PIG a little test pilot around here today. Tomorrow I will venture out your way and possibly meeting up with one of our new plated recruits @ the Dubber for breakfast at 9:00 AM. Then we explore the area. You are welcome to join us if you can manage to be PUNCTUAL! :spl: If you are a no show I will swing by in the PM to assist with the hot hands.

bchunter, the route from Onion Lake back to Kitimat is a great high speed FSR trip but as of last week it wasn't ready for any 2 wheeled expeditions. I'll check it out tomorrow to see the progress. With any luck it may be passable on your visit.

:ss::ss::bliss:

Sounds good to me. I am going to take the DR out on Mon and Tues to get the feel for it so I will be ready for Fri.

Man is it warm. The snow is receding like my hairline.
