We can hope...I fired my beast up in Janurary and it sure sounded great hearing those 4 straight pipes...come on Spring!

It will be few weeks yet boys.

A quick look at the map shows about 500 miles between Weyburn and Lloydminster with Douglas Prov. Pk. on Lake Diefenbaker close the the middle?

Me and my nephew are planning a little run to Fort Qu'Appelle sometime this summer. Never been to Douglas Park.

I'm not sure what the temp was today, but the city was out clearing the drains as the streets were starting to flood.... bwaaa haaaa haaaaaaaa.

Best time of year right now!

Another question - do you guys usually plate your bikes as an antique?

KillerBob · « **Reply #28 on:** March 04, 2009, 06:19:08 PM »

I would if I could...SGI lady told me bikes do not qualify...but if she was wrong I'd be quite happy to pay $120 a year or whatever it is. Fort is only an hour from where I'm at in the summer so let me know. Spring is coming...but I don't expect to be riding until the end of the month at least the way this winter has been...but one can hope.

upperlake04 · « **Reply #29 on:** March 04, 2009, 08:15:37 PM »

That's odd. Being 30 years old last year, the 1978 750F3 qualified for some type of different designation, not sure it was called antique. The monthly payments (AutoPay) to SGI were $8.84. The total loss insurance does not factor in current market value, $800. max I think, so its really liability insurance you get.

KillerBob · « **Reply #30 on:** March 04, 2009, 10:42:38 PM »

Oh wow I would love that...she's well past 30 years old now...much nicer than the $40+ a month I paid last year. Do you know what it was called because I sure tried to get it like I do for my 1972 Maverick ($118 a year) but no luck? I'm not worried about having the cost of the bike covered, just want to be covered in case of accident (although my 33 year old front brake pad does still seem to work well). Thanks.

Your suggestion of meeting up in North battleford seems to work best so far Dave. Im sure all of us can find some sort of nice twisty roads in that area. Lets try to set a tentitive plan for date...Sometime in June or July?

NB works for me as long as I'm not workin on the rig. (with this economy it looks doubtful)

DF · « **Reply #33 on:** March 06, 2009, 03:38:32 PM »

My '74 was $99 total this year. When I first got the bike, SGI agent said bikes don't qualify for antique status and wanted $400+. I said, "Thats funny, because the SGI website allows me to enter it in as an antique." So she asked a co-worker and the other lady said 'yes they do'.

She did mention that if it got stolen, I wouldn't get anything for it as the deductable would be more than the bike listed value, but thats okay. It probably would have been the same as with the $400 plates.

Check into it and save some bucks.

Just checked and the rate calculator lists antique.

Good work Greg

Every few months I look at the Saskatchewan Motorcycle Association website. I see there is a swap meet next Sat. at the Heritage Pavilion in Moose Jaw. Anyone been to one of these?

DarkRider · « **Reply #35 on:** March 07, 2009, 11:29:12 AM »

I have been to a couple here in Lloyd. Basically all they are is a large garage sale for car and bike parts...usually a great way to find great deals on those hard to find parts for your projects.

Killer Canary · « **Reply #36 on:** March 18, 2009, 07:19:38 AM »

Dave, I see you bought a GL 500. I bought one last summer. First time I've ever bought a bike with a stereo!

upperlake04 · « **Reply #37 on:** March 18, 2009, 05:56:42 PM »

I took the stereo pod off mine. After 3000 km on the GL last summer, I think I like it at least as well as the CB.

Can you post a pic of your 500 Doug?

"Smart ass comment time"

I know it's still early in the week, but I have a plan. This plan is set up to make your get together a relaxing and most memorable experience.

Go drag out your biggest ladder tonight. Place it on the highest ground on your property. Now you can drink beer all week prepared for the big event.

At 11:00 am Sat morning rain or shine. I want you all to climb up and wave at each other.
I will join you on my roof from BC.

I IMPLORE you to take photos of your 11:00 am salute and post them.
This can......should,,,,,,, and will become an annual event

"Smart ass comment time over"

upperlake04 · « **Reply #39 on:** March 18, 2009, 07:38:12 PM »

Wasn't there a suggestion that you bugger off Derek?

seaweb11 · « **Reply #40 on:** March 18, 2009, 07:57:36 PM »

I will be waving and posting a photo Sat morning anyway.

It's the spirit of the thing that's important

some late breaking news from North battlefort.

i happened to be in NB last week with a friend from saskatoon. we were driving down the main drag and it had been many years since I had been there. I came awake when I recognized the "Beaver Hotel" or apparently what used to be the "Beaver". No, the name has changed but it's still the same place. Everybody used to get a laugh out of the neon sign on top of the building which announced in bold blue letters " EAT AT THE BEAVER".
They just don't make them like that any more.

Greg

good luck with the rally, I'll be waving as well.

upperlake04 · « **Reply #42 on:** March 19, 2009, 06:41:07 PM »

You can bugger off as well Greg.

DarkRider · « **Reply #43 on:** March 21, 2009, 07:42:06 AM »

Keep it up with the waving jokes there shall be single finger salutes to you two lol...

upperlake04 · « **Reply #44 on:** March 21, 2009, 11:07:45 AM »

I wonder if those guys are still up on their ladders.

gregk · « **Reply #45 on:** March 22, 2009, 07:17:00 AM »

Just got down off the ladder, got tired of waving. I did see mom's place though.

You were there on Central Standard Time right Greg?

gregk · « **Reply #47 on:** March 23, 2009, 10:37:35 AM »

upperlaker

The question of time zones always comes up about this time of the year. A small town near us (Creston) has solved the problem. You just move the time zone about thirty miles. So this takes place twice a year and all you need is a screwdriver to take the sign down and move it to the other post. Saves all that time changing clocks etc. Pacific Time, Mountain Time, who cares.
