This is an unusual post but one I most certainly feel led to extend. I was there a few years ago and fell absolutely in love with my cousins down under....it was truly a life changing experience for me and one I will never forget. I think about coming back all the time but I never seem to have time and money in both hands at the same time. It is always one or the other. Anyway, what I would like to do, is extend an invitation to any of my Aussie friends whom I met when I was there, to come to visit me here in Toronto. I live on a hundred acre farm right in the middle of everything so there is plenty of room and tons and tons of things to do, see and explore. I would love to host anyone of you interested in coming here to Canada and hangin with the CanDman. I am proud to say the The General, this spring, will be the first of, what I hope will be, many visits from my extended family down unda. I have the lodging and several modes of transportation, so all you have to worry about will be your air fare and spending money. Your Canadian adventure is just a PM away  :drinks: It would be an honor to be your host.

I would love to take you up on your invitation, even though I haven't met you in person, I have heard stories of your exploits here in Oz. But alas it won't be until I too can get time and money at the same time.

A trip to the northern part of your continent is on my to do list.

Hello my 'bro! I'm counting on a nice bonus at the end of this year, so you never know. Its getting the whole family over that is the hard thing to work out. And if I travel over by myself it wouldn't feel right leaving them behind, especially coming to visit you and experience that wonderful part of the world you are lucky enough to call home.   Anyway, something will be worked out  :good2:

Ray, you could always invest it in a hermetically sealed bike transporter and cut down on the detailing.  :biggrin:

Hey Rich, I am hoping to get down that way when you are over here...... but it's almost impossible to get that kind of a window for that size of a journey during the busy season. If and when you do get another chance to venture back this way......you know my door will be wide open and I'll have a list of Blues and Country gigs to check out.......along with a few "Out for a Rip" places to ride. Cheers my bro
