WCR 2013 registration is OPEN

[Fairlaner]

Hi y'all...

June 20-23/13 in Winfield, in the Okanagan Valley of Beeeeeautiful BC! Just north of Kelowna

2 Motels to choose from:

Lake Country Inn 1-866-796-3453 - www.lakecountryinn.ca

They have 20 rooms available, a few King @ $79, or 2 queen beds @ $89

Those rates are based on at least 10 rooms being booked, if not, I believe it's $10 more per night.

Please say you are with "WCR 2013" when booking

Super 8 Winfield 1-250-766-5244 or 1-800-800-8000, https://www.super8.com/hotels/british-columbia/lake-country/super-8-lake-country-winfield-area/hotel-overview

They have 18 rooms available at this point; 5 king @ $107.00, 13 two queens @ $115.00

Super 8 did not offer a group rate, so nothing to quote at booking.

Woody's Pub is right in between both motels. Good food, pool tables and darts if memory serves me. Also a cold beer and wine store.

Across the street is a plaza with a gov't liquor store and a great little breakfast diner, and down around the corner is a funky java joint. Tim Horton's not far....

Once you have booked, please send an email to [email protected] so I can keep the attendees list here, riders and Crackbook up-to-date

I will email everyone coming a listing of good eats and good rides by March 1 so you can plan any RTE's LOL

I just spoke with Kelowna Yamaha, he said he would get some oil filters in for us and some extra tires if we needed them

Richard, I would recommend you bring filters etc. with you! I just attended Auburn's Tech Day and with his advise bought the things I needed for my valve check, and cam chain tensioner (blue dot) from Cyclepartswarehouse.com! I also purchased oil filters from them, at 7.80 US. a piece so I bought 10. Here they are 22.00 Cdn. at Vernon Motor sports. Our dollar difference is less that .02 so you can see why I bought so many. Just sayin.

I just bought filters last week, Yammie Canada has dropped the price of them down to about $9. At least, that's what I paid.

Wow! Vernon Motor Sports is under new management? Where do you buy from? Is it a dealer or distributor? I will pass this info to the new owner when I see him.

Don't want to turn this into an oil filter thread.

However, I just bought the highly recommended Purolator PSL14612 at Wal-Mart in Kamloops for around $11, they had lots.

I haven't signed up for WCR 2013 as I'm not sure I'll be back from the UK in time. If I am, can I pop down for a visit?

Local dealer in Sudbury.. Hell, I don't even know the name of it. Our '5 Star' dealer closed up shop last year (no great loss) and these guys popped open a few months later. Little rinky-dink little place.

Hey Al, you missed a great event at Auburn's! I finally put that plug you gave me to good use! I haven't gotten around to using any filters except Yamaha? I just felt the price difference was worth commenting on! I'm sorry I have to miss WCR as I have already made plans with my cross Canada riding partner and his bro/inlaw from Ontario to take the loop up to Jasper and back down through Banff and on to Creston back up the usual way! Talk soon, Mark

I met several PNW guys in Castlegar, so I won't even ask about the plug!!

You're just goading for a response! Unless you don't remember I removed the pair system at Auburn's and replaced it with beautiful Wynpro plates for which you gave me the plug into the air/box., It so cleans up the top of the valve cover! I just put on new meat, when do you plan to cross the ogan?
