Local (Salt Lake City) Canadian Ex-Pat
Returning rider (Canadian ex-pat) living in Salt Lake City, Utah for the last 11 years. I hope to join you all. Originally from Windsor, Ontario (born and raised - I tell people Detroit - easier to explain). Dirt bikes growing up, then a few road bikes and then without wheels for over 25 years as life got in the way. Took the plunge back a couple of months ago – been eyeing this for years - bought a 1998 F650 Funduro this April. Relearning the ins and outs of road riding again but being safe and loving it so far!
Looking forward to the rally as this will be my first one and ’m posting this from my downtown office about 2 miles away from the site of the rally. If you haven’t been to SLC it is a pretty cool place and there are a plethora of riding opportunities in our local mountains – ½ hour ride and you are up at 7,500 feet (the city/rally is at 4200 feet) to escape the heat. SLC has a good and growing local beer/bar scene – OK, we’re not Portland or Seattle but we’re making slow progress.
I hope to join you all for a drink!

I thought we were having the Red Dog Saloon Friday afternoon...with all welcome. Heck, maybe I'll just take my bottle of fine Scotch to Camp Glockenspiel instead!

Dang, looks like a big of logistical work is to be done. Any suggestions on this? - Bob

Well, we could do the Red Dog at 5:30 when the seminars are over. Give the Canadians a head start since the beer is 3.2
I even have Red Dog decals to pass out this year!

That seems like a good suggestion.....drinking supper (aka dinner). Should we move the RDS to another thread or maybe bring last year's back to life? We are on the road right now (just landed in Regina and heading for Medicine Hat tomorrow) and my 'planning capabilities' are limited. However, whatever you think is strategic, we will support. PM me if you like. -Bob

In Medicine Hat now and Calgary tomorrow. Would have taken you up on your offer for sure but I really didn't want to go on the Forum and sound like I was fishing for accommodations. However, thanks very much for the kind offer! Finally the weather has improved for us..... now we can start groaning about the heat. - Bob

Hell, Vermont nearly became part of Canada before becoming the 14th state. Craftsbury is just 24 miles south of the border. Tully and I might just swing by to see a few Canadien friends.

and British Columbia was being considered by the U.S. at one time until the new Canada took it over ..... interesting times. Just look up Danial Webster and the formation of the Maine border.

we just completed (k1100lt ...Trans-Canada Mile 0 , St John's Newfoundland to Mile 0 West Coast and arrived in Victoria, BC to celebrate our great birthday! Glorious and Free. - Bob
O Canada! Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide, O Canada,
We stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
(French)
O Canada! Terre de nos aïeux,
Ton front est ceint de fleurons glorieux.
Car ton bras sait porter l'épée,
Il sait porter la croix.
Ton histoire est une épopée,
Des plus brillants exploits.
Et ta valeur, de foi trempée,
Protégera nos foyers et nos droits.
Protégera nos foyers et nos droits.
Congratulations Bob & Mary! Flexitsidecar

Let's do a Canada meetup
I think we should contact the Federal Government to commission a study on the matter. We need to know home location, bike ridden, total number of BMW's owned, choice of beer (Canadian Eh!) and preferred location in the beer tent or immediate surrounds...
