I am glad the deer encounter wasn't a close encounter. I recommend using the brakes instead of the breaks, though. The repair bill is cheaper!


6" doesn't qualify as a close encounter???? :shock: :shock: :shock:

I was in quite a rush to catch his break/brake slip-up. Brain no worky at times.

I forgot to thank High_Side (Bruce) on our 3-day BC trip for oiling all the bike chains in the morning.

Thanks Bruce!


As seen early in the morning oiling his wife's chain in his pajamas*:

lol good stuff guys. So High_Side and his wife had to sleep outside. And Mike and his wife got the hotel room. What the heck kinda bet did you loose Bruce?


And the Rotella-T is great oil. We use it in the trucks (diesels). Unfortunately I cannot find any out here (at least not under the Rotella-T name) so I have to buy whatever's available :(

That last picture on the side of the highway sure looks a lot like Sinclair Canyon at Radium Hot Springs...
