We run into the same helmet issue when we invite our American friends to this side of the border. It's hard to convince them to leave their guns at home too. We are in the final stages of negotiation with The Mother Ship, working out the details for our gig. Once done the real planning will begin. We're gonna have some fun with this one. For now we have a little ride to Radium Hot Springs next weekend and after that The Casual Cruise. http://actualriders.ca/radiuminfo.htm http://actualriders.ca/cc2010.htm Hard to believe the days are getting shorter and we are on the downhill side of summer. I don't think we have had a day over 30 degrees this year.
