Return of the Jedi Council — Part I

Posted on by Smoke

Welcome to Canada, eh? What a bunch of loonies…..Tony, Ed, Panama, Pierre, Paul, Stu, Stouph, Mark, and Skip. Thanks for showing up at midnight. At least traffic is light.

Just like last year, we put all the bikes together that night. Bedtime? How does 3 am sound?

We decided to make an early start to the day. As usual, we came across an accident on the highway. This time, a happy ending. The 78 year old rider of this motorcycle walked away from the scene with minor scrapes, and Barb got a job offer from the Princeton Ambulance station.

Bladder break!

Maybe this canyon just scared the piss out of them.

We rolled into Penticton around noon, and took some lunch bbefore heading up to the Peat bog for some warm up laps. Here’s Skip getting reacquainted with a teeter.

Stu goes big on the Knuckleduster.

Skip again, same drop with a different perspective.

Barb got inspired to put the boys in their place.

Skip, mocking death.

Barb, on the Knucklduster road drop.

Stouph gaps a bridge in the sun.

Get that front wheel down, Ed.

Skip at sunset.

Last run of the day. Beleive it or not, this was the lamest trail of the trip.

Get ready, ’cause if that’s lame, then the rest of the tour should be legendary……

What’s Going On?

Not one whole hell of a lot. I think I may have burned out from all that riding.

At any rate, I’m spending an inordinate amount of time right now revamping the site. All kinds of cool goodies coming up. Wait ’till you see the map. It’s pretty rad.

So, the camera is broken. If you work for Canon, or have some good contacts there please drop me an email. I think I need a new LCD screen for it. I can take pics, but I can’t tweak any settings or anything. I think it must have gotten moisture in it. It’s been pretty damp out here.

If you havent seen it yet, check out this vid I made:

It’s from the trip with the UK boys this summer. Some immature content. You’ve been warned.

I’ll try to get some more vids out while the camera is broken. The Newfie footage hasnt been sorted yet, and there’s the annual best of vid to come as well.

Nice Accent :: Where ya Fromme?

The last full day saw us heading up to Fromme with serious hangovers due to closing down the Raven pub with rowdy rugby songs.

Funny how it took ten days to figure out how much Jedi looks like Shrek.

Are we not men? We are DEVO!

Upper Oilcan’s first big move. Stouph, I think.

Stewie on Big Smooth.

Stewie again on Sideshow.

Same stunt, different angle. Glen almost got excited on this one.

How ’bout all them beers last night, eh boys?

A coupla birds.

Some rollercoaster shots.

Well, that’s about it. The best Bush Pilot trip to date. We all got a bit weepy after is was all said and done (until Jedi dropped trou once again).

To Jedi, Skip, Stouph, Mark, Stewie, Glen, Ed, Pierre, Llew, Rocket, Chaos, Emandem, and Paul; thanks for a memorable 11 days. The country seems bigger without ya.

Of course, do I get to take some time off now?

..no rest for the wicked is what they say.
