  1. We are in Alberta. We have been to all the West coast rally's since the start and would really miss this trip as it is our biggest planned trip of the year. The amount of cases here in Canada are very much related to population base with Ontario and BC having the most cases as of today we have 74 cases in Alberta from last report. The USA has about 10 times the population we have here and from what I have seen from USA reports has about 10 times the cases we do. I hope that a vaccine is developed very soon so we can put this behind us.
  2. Here in our province we had 18 new cases since yesterday. We also have a very accurate way of reporting factual numbers with a national public health care system. I also hope to be able to travel this summer to the rally but wouldn't do it with out travel insurance or without the lifting of the travel advisory from health Canada being lifted.
  3. Well, I hope we can get through this world wide pandemic by June. You may know as Canadians traveling to the USA we must buy travel insurance and the current state of things there are no insurance company's covering any medical cost's associated with the COVID-19 virus if you travel out of country. God bless us through these trying times.
  4. Dave, Something like this may work as it is called an edge roller and could be recessed or hinged to pop up when needed.
  5. Can we pin this to top of page please!
  6. Hey Dave....hope you have a great time out at Q. Say hi to everyone from us and hope to join the snowbirds down there soon. Snow and -35 this weekend for us.....just about had enough of that.
  7. I used to fully charge my cordless tool batteries for storage but since I got a new e-bike that sits most of the winter here I use the charging recommendation from the e-bike for my cordless tools as well. 1. Before storage make sure that the battery is not charged more than 50% so that it will accept a periodic charge. (You cannot periodically charge a fully charged battery) 2. Once every month you must attach the supplied battery charger and charge for a period of no more than 15 minutes. 3. Continue this procedure once a month until more frequent riding. This process will make sure that your battery does not stay at a specific rate of charge for long periods of time.

  9. I'm pretty sure its mostly Tony's fault for introducing us all to the hi desert riding experience....look forward to it every year now! With the amount of combined solar I'm sure we could power the whole site there.
  10. Dave, Congrats on the new system looks great...Chad does do excellent work! It sure is going to be quiet when we meet up in the desert this June again.
  11. Dave, We'll have to introduce Phil to those frozen Canadian shots that I bring to the WCR....you seemed to like those ones!
  12. Thanks Jim & Kellie! It was really nice seeing you at the rally again......maybe catch up with you on the gulf coast one day.
  13. Don't see why....same as all other tools instructions in the trash!
  14. Well if I could pay off that meter in 4 scans I may have to order one!!
  15. I think this would be great at a rally.....you can pay to weigh your rig and now you can get a picture or video of where your air leaks are.
  16. I like this a lot but at $20,000. is out of my price range. FLK-ii900
  17. Great to see some new people coming this year....and am going to miss some people from past years. Looking forward to this years WCR.

    Rick....I agree with you strapping down the the car in the TH'er is not as much fun as the the deck. The L-track that I installed in the TH'er has made it possible to tie down anything that fits in there. The original D-rings were a compromise. I use the wheel straps on the Polaris RZR 1000 SxS and the wheel baskets on the SC on the deck. It is also easy to tie down our motorbikes in the back with the L-tack since it offers a multitude of hardware that attaches to it. Also, noticed the the straps from Cargo Equipment are 30% less than the ones from US Cargo. I have no affiliation with either company but being in the wholesale parts business 30% is the margin we set for our retailers on this kind of stuff. US Cargo could be buying from the other company and make the 30% margin. IMO

    I purchased wheel straps that I use for the SC in the TH'er from this company. I also used their L-track that works very well.
  20. That's great info David! Thank you very much.......and for the pdf that will go in my SC file.
  21. Thanks Chad! Just wondering with such a new SC and having fans wondering if it was audible. Liked the comment about about you being so far north.....made me laugh!! You should be able to get solar energy from street lights a night.
  22. Great write up! Just wondering if the fan was running when charging and was the sound of the fan noticeable?
