    Hey...I brought an 02 vtec red home about a week and a half ago after riding a cruiser for the past 4 years and before that ground up builds on early 70s Cb750's.
    The Viffer is so fine. I like everything about it and am about to bugger off on my girl for a few weeks next to home in the Rockies.
    I've met a few of you here already and with the help of this forum had the tools I need to pull off the side panel and find a bad R/R plug which was causing grief.
    Thank you for that and a good day too you.

    Damn. I wasted perfectly good sarcasm in the thread you hi-jacked!

    Welcome aboard, Oops. But we're still waiting for those pictures. :cool:

    Ha ha... and I appreciate that too.
    Anyone headed Nelson BC via Nakusp around the 20th... Give me a holler. The road North around the lake to Nelson is beckoning.

    Wouldn't they intentionally look to go around Chilliwack, rather than through it? :biggrin:

    At best you can go on the other side of the river but still through the stink. Hwy 7 runs through Agassiz (pronounced Agasee) where they spread cow shit everywhere too. Freeway runs through Chilliwack and by far, fastest route to the interior and it's great roads.

    There are definitely some nice roads up in the Ryder Lake area but the corners tend to have a little gravel on them. People up there only use pavement as a rough guide to where they should drive.

    oops - Finally a proper welcome to the forum :welcome: aka Hijacker

    One word of warning - it looks like you have quite a few VFR owning voisins to contend with. Especially with decent riding to be had nearby, I suspect that any mention of beer tokens will likely round up quite a decent Canuck posse!

    Take Care

    Sounds like like a great idea!

    You bunch of Northerners can have a weekend get together and a few of us south of your border can ride up.
    Only fair since Ran-Day has come down here several times.

    We all hate to say it, but welcome to the wonderful world of the VFR charging system. Just about all of us on the site have either heard of the issues you might be having, or suffered through them at some point, so you have our sympathies. Hopefully you get the issue looked after sooner than later and you have some time to ride this weekend.

    Kinda like and "R3N"......R3 North? Now that just may be an idea. Gotta find someone who is divorced or has a better half that is as accommodating and gracious as Terri.
