    Bc gold rush trail

    I have made this trip with Shockman at least 13 times and it is always a week. Just to many pubs along the way. It is a mix of trail, lake and road running with the Yanks Peak range to get over . Best time of the year is last week of Jan. or first of Feb. You will need the road crossing permit...

    If you ride in BC please take this survey!

    The government will not be involved with any of this process. This is a BCSF proposal to its member clubs and only will go forward if the clubs wish it to. There is a revised copy coming when Donegal can get some time to complete and it will go to all club Presidents to be reviewed with their...

    who wants to hear what the law in BC about securing a sled on a truck here in BC

    I know that evertime I stop someone that they are upset and tense and I deal with that in mind . I think if you are in enforcement you should have a sales background where your paycheck depended on getting along with people. But we all need to work on hearing as well as listening.. Thanks again...

    who wants to hear what the law in BC about securing a sled on a truck here in BC

    A superclamp would be just fine for the front , with one tiedown on the rear skid not the bumper. Let the sled move up and down on the springs or shocks just make sure the skid is firmly secured to the deck. BTW we do not target trucks that are under 5500 kg's ...That is a police matter as they...

    BC fuel hauling rules

    Most of you guys have a good idea about total amount ( 450 lts ) is the winner.... But keep in mind 80% of all firefighters in Canada are unpaid and may not have all the training as the big city boys.. Where do we ride ? My advice would be to go to your bulk plant and and get a small 1203 decal...

    A IDOG said 1.2m or 4 feet from the tailights needs flag or light depends on day or night. You can pick up flags or lights at most truck sales or repair shops. As far as checking your weight just stop at any scale and go in and ask.. We have a mandate for CMV over 5500 kg's . So no we will not...
