It's about to begin. CTD's Great Western Tour 2003 starts Saturday Aug 23 in YYC.

What's 'Great' about it? No tents.

'Western?' 'Cuz it's out west, dummy.

Tour? It's a four-week tour. Relatively short by helicopter standards but I work for a good outfit :lol:

2003? What are you, a fixed wing pilot?

Anyway, while your busy throwing water at Mother Nature's heartburn, keep your eyes peeled for an overloaded silver BMW GS with She-TD waving on the back.

We have been known to accept food and booze hand-outs during these tours, and if you flag us down, I'll sign your Vortex for a shot of Lagavulin 16.

If you're between YYC and YOW during the third week of Sept, keep an eye out for the same bike with a solo rider heading east - direct YOW. :shock:

Looking forward to seeing 407Driver, downwash, 4961, touchdown, Hightower and 100ft while in BC - wx and fires permitting. Haven't heard from Randy, but I expect he's busy.... Rosco gets a visit on the way home to YOW, so dust off the scotch and start soaking the ribs, Dude.

BTW - thanks to those who have offered their hospitality - it's great to know there are friends around. :up:

Thanks to Rosco, who was instrumental in getting the bike to YYC.

Thanks to Kyle, for this site.

See you on the road.....
 
Have a great ride dude. Scotch is aging and ribs will be ready and waiting for your arrival. :rolleyes:

Be sure if time permits to post a few pix of your trek.

Cheers

I'd like to draw to everyone's attention that trick light bar ass'y on CTD's ride - available at a retailer near you. Soon to be STC'd for various rotorcraft?? :D

Ride safe Dude. :up:
 
Jeez crash, thats not the west. You gotta get to YYJ if you want to get west. If you do happen to make it out this way come visit an old aquaintance from Cambodia days and I'll fire up the Lag 16 year for ya. That's a pretty bike ya got there by the way. Ride with care. :up:
 
and if wx should force you to divert through YQR, twinstar would be happy to drive the sask dust from ya' with beverages of choice!!! :D

no signing the vortex though as i have to read it on the website and grease pencil on the monitor is a pain to look around!!!! :blink: :shock:

have a great ride!!!! :up:
 
Nice looking bike but I am curious about the load. Where are the fly-away kit, spare fuel drum, filter pump, spare rotables, maint manual and assorted SBs,ADs and logbook going to fit :rolleyes:

Unfortunately I will down at the Highland Games in High River for the Aug 23 weekend as kid#2 is competing, otherwise would have liked to get together
 
Bring your flight helmet CTD, we're planning to get you into a 407 for a long day of bucketing. She-TD and I have a nice day planned hiking in a local National Park, that is, if there's any Parks left un-burned.

See you out here soon, if there's a highway closure, just stick some Alpine, Yellowhead, or Blackcomb Helicopter stickers on the side of the rocket, and tell them you're essential crew...
 
407 - I plan to have a beer each morning for breakfast in an attempt to preclude any flight crew duties. Although, getting my mitts on a 407 again....maybe for a price...... ;)

Deuce - We will be visiting the Island, likely during week 2. Plan on doing as much of it as the wx will permit. Drop me a PM with your details.

Twinny - will be paasing through QR on my way back to YOW during the week of Sept 15-20. Drop me a line with contact info...
 
if you see me riding my v-star wave and i'll buy you a lunch. i'm hard to miss, the avtar is pretty accurate :D :D :D

drop me an e-mail before you come through the fraser valley. i'll buy you that beer for breakfast :up: :up: :up:

Vortex web site

Choose English, it's easier to read.... :mellow:

Cheers 412 - wilco. I plan to bring the laptop, so I should be wired.
 
Tired Dude? All that daylight up in the Moose starting to get to you? Try putting aluminium foil in your windows. Better yet, why not read some labour law books, that should put you to sleep... :lol: :rolleyes: :up:

Sadly, I won't be in your neck of the woods, or twigs, as it were. You'll have to come to YOW to get your Vortex signed. B)
 
CTD, how long will it be for you to:

1) To prep and attempt a high altitude start on the Rocket in YYC
2) To navigate around the dreaded Deerfoot Trail, exit YYC, visit the Japanese tourist shops along Banff Ave and then cross the (very smoky) Rockies to our fair Town (300 km )?

We should prepare ourselves for the Royal Visit, ie wash the wrench ( one complete fuel cycle with him tied in the 407 water-bucket should clean him to an acceptable odor level), then get the empty beer cans out of the hangar, and restock with higher quality ales. :D
