Wow Tim,that's so shitty for you guys and mostly your Dad.Really happy he's gonna be ok.
Bummer that we didn't get to hook up.Maybe next summer hey.
Tell your Dad to take care,and you too of course.

Yupp, hopefully I'll have one of my Z-bikes in reliable enough shape by then (probably the st, already have about half the parts) to do some serious riding. After going down those roads in the passenger seat of a car it would be torture to not do them on a bike!

And my dad has another bike in the stable, we'll see if he gets back on

Glad to hear it turned ok for you guys.

Highway 6 goes right past my house. I think I saw you go by.

Darn, I thought you lived farther north Tony or I wouldve pm'd you before we set out. I'm also jealous that you get to live on that road (although I'm not sure winter would be so much fun at times)! We headed back to cardston for the night and went home the next day. Nice country!

Is that US 6? becouse I live a few miles south of there in Northeastern Indiana.

Nope sorry, nowhere near. Hwy 6 in Alberta just north of Glacier nat'l park in Montana

So sorry to hear about all that bad luck, your Dads pretty fortunate to have walked away from that. I hope he's doing ok, I imagine he's still pretty shaken up.

I thought you were referring to highway 6 in the Kootenays BC. That's the one I live by. I guess that wasn't you I saw. :laugh:

the handful of times i went bear hunting i never got one.
my hunting partner got one 4 years ago though.
maybe i should've taken a bmw out in the woods instead of the winchester.

but seriouslly, damn man!
glad your pops is ok. that had to scare the crap out of both of you.
i would have flipped out if i seen my dad wreck.

if it were me i would have cut off a backstrap and ate the bastard that tried to kill me.

Glad you guys are ok

That's a heck of a story. Could keep some people in free beer for years. Did I ever tell you about the time .................:laugh:
