Dale,
They wouldn't let me into Canada, so I won't be coming.
I Called Jim's Cell (at 9:30 AM) and left a message so you guys would know not to wait for me.
Also Brad has a set of supretrapp's for me and I wanted to know if he could leave them with you and I can meet you in Niagara Falls, on the US side (whenever it's convenient for you) to pick them up and give you the cash for them.

Dennis, Too bad you couldn't make it. Great ride! I have those supertrapps sitting in my garage. I just have to find some time to make the trip over. Maybe next weekend?

I have an Enhanced License.
They said it was because of a Misdemeanor Conviction from way back in 1986.
But that's really all they would say.
They told me I would have to go to the Canadian Consulate in Buffalo and apply for a waiver to if I ever want to enter Canada in the future.

Yep, you have to get an Authorization to Re-Enter Canada (ARC) which will take a while to process and costs $400.

Right after 9/11 my wife (girlfriend at the time) and I went to Niagra Falls. We were at the border stop and they ask if either of us has been arrested. She points at me as says "He was"....I was looking at her, thinking, WTF???

They asked us to pop the trunk on her car. I say, that could be a problem, the lock cylinder is broken. Actually, it was totally gone, there was just a hole there, LOL. They pried it open, took the dogs in, and had me held up for quite some time. But, eventually let us cross over. Fun, fun, fun...

I know, I really wanted to be there.
I ended up going on a Charity run for the Veterans Hospital in Buffalo on Sunday, so at least I got a ride in.
It was NOTHING like riding with fellow maxers though, we did 30-40 mph for about 70 miles with a police escort the whole way.

As for picking up the Supertrapps, next weekend would be great.
I can meet you pretty much anytime as long as I have a day or two notice.
Just shoot me a PM and let me know what's best for you.
I'll definitely buy you a bevereage for your effort.

Great ride as always Dale!! Had a blast, and got to meet the Canadian Pickers guys from the History Channel. Will post up picks when I get home as Frank sent me a couple. Should have had my camera with me me:confused2: Toxic is always meeting famous people, and Scott just wanted to sit on Toxic. Both Sheldon and Scott seemed like pretty down to earth guys.
