I think they are 43 mm fork tubes.

I was just looking at your photos again.

Did you notice the forklift photo.....the big box has a large pictogram of

NO FORKLIFT on the side......I think they mean just that side of the box but is makes the pic even better.

Ladder106 · 03-07-2013, 02:21 PM

I really want to go. Unfortunately, I'll be on the left coast (I mean RIGHT on the coast) for the month of August.

Jim Rowley · 03-07-2013, 02:33 PM

Would you prefer July?

ujeni · 03-07-2013, 09:17 PM

July would work better for me! Being a designer by trade, I'd be happy to help out with t-shirts/stickers

Reidy008 · 03-07-2013, 09:25 PM

I would be in as long as there are no work conflicts with the date u choose.

Jim Rowley · 03-08-2013, 08:02 AM

I'll throw out a timeframe.

2013 North American Africa Twin Summit
24-28 July, 2013
Colorado Springs, CO

Did I get anyone's attention?

ujeni · 03-08-2013, 08:54 AM

Thanks for the invite Jim but I won't be able to make that date or July. So far I have a plan to leave solo here June 14 and make the D2D in Dawson City, Yukon and do some general farting around in the wilds of northern BC. I've been wanting to do the D2D for 10 years now and this looks like the year.

Also I'll be doing a few days layover near Smithers BC at the end of June to put a roof on the in-laws cabin. If anyone is up that way then please let me know...our cabin is only 400 kms/6 hrs to Hyder AK.

All are welcome to hang their hat/helmet while I'm there. So yeah....that's an invite. PM if your up that way.

View from the cabin on Babine Lake BC.

My son with an 8lb sockeye caught in late Aug. when the sport fishing is open. Just ask Alain in Portland about the salmon on Babine Lake

. Some big rainbow trout come out of that lake in June.
