We've got a few family vacations lined up for this year, but we may just have to add on another to head north of the border. I've never been to Canada, but I know they've got some beautiful places up there. Great riding as well.
Just thought I'd pass this along, in case some of you might be interested. I just ordered it, and even shipping is free.

With the low dollar and GST rebates visiting here is a pretty good deal.

Ordered and received mine 3 weeks ago, almost ready for 2017.
Along one of my regular rides however never visited on the tax payer dollar!

Thanks for the heads-up! :beer:
We're planning a trip to B.C. in April, and we somehow missed the announcement. :)
I just ordered ours (six weeks for delivery).

Yes, much to see and do in BC, need to explore this place again along one of my regular rides out of Vancouver in another direction.

That reminds me a lot of Lower Fort Garry in Winnipeg.

Cool I just ordered it. We head to Canada a few time a year and this will give us a good reason.

Thanks! I was planning on spending a month in California this fall but it looks like I may end up in BC now.

yeah i grabbed one too. maybe i can squeeze in a trip up there. love bc but would also love to get to the east coast and check it out.
thanks!
Ordered 2...I think its a great way to try and honour 150!! Might be a bit of a push in July/August when the weather and travel are at peak times but if it gets people out thats great...
A lot of great national parks here in Canada, even a few here in Onterrible...:rolleyes:
I just returned from spending 2 weeks near the Kootenay's and wish I could return today...

Smart. This thread is a testament to that.
Increase tourism and everyone wins... including the Canadian tax coffers.
