Hey y'all
just found the site, looks great
I work seasonally, got the next 7 months off, so if anyone is looking for a tag along rider, gimme a shout! First season on the dirt.
I rode a gixxer600 for years, and finally traded that lifeforce liability for a KTM 450. Grandmas will not be targeting me out on the trail!
(really, who are we kidding, I will have a new rocket come spring)
take it easy

haha yes you ARE an owner. And maybe someday be so will I.
I have a house in calgary but our company is based in Abbotsford. I am sure you have seen all the tankers parked on the grass when you are taxiing to launch off 19. Conair is partnered with Kelowna Flightcraft, who "owns" all things Convair, and so they are attached heavily to the 580 tanker

I thought a DC6 would have tracks and big blade on the front.
I figured we might have had some help to build some bridges or build a big tabletop.

Welcome, Are you setup for winter riding?
What's that new rocket ride? I can't imagine how it would compare to the sound of 4 2500HP Radials @ full throttle
