If this place were to be found on your side of the border, it might be worth a visit. I found their prices to be good, their service and warranty excellent, and their humor so juvenile that I stopped receiving their emails and severed all ties to them. Doesn't mean I won't shop there again if the price is right when I need something. http://www.moosejaw.com
Is this where I catch the bus to Moose Jaw?

Their site says they're a Michigan company
So home via Shediac then? ;-)
If you haven't already travelled that way or even if you have, take the northern route around Lake Superior. Awesome.
And if you need a burger, beer & a bed in Muskoka on your way thru, look me up.
Go safely Rob

That's what I meant when I said if they were to be found on the Canadian side of the border....and all their stores are in the USA.

I'm having an amazing ride. I clocked over 5000km so far. Last Thursday I headed north and stopped in Bala for a bit then rode to Algoma mills and dropped in to see another friend. I stopped at Sleeping Giant provincial park after a day of riding in the rain but still the views around Superior were awesome. I decided to continue on Hwy 11 and crossed into Minnesota at Rainy Lake and back into Manitoba at Tolstoi and stayed with a forum member there. From there I rode along the crimson coat trail spent the night in Medicine hat. Did a short trip to just North of Calgary and stayed over at a sheep farm. Last Wednesday I went to Banff and celebrated a 30th anniversary of a show I did at the Banff centre and visited my daughter who's working there. I hung out in Banff for a few days then on Saturday I headed back east through Drumheller and got as far as a provincial park just north of Swift Current. For the most part I traveled on back roads. The bike performed very well. The adventure goes well. Thanks for asking

Going back through the States for most of the trip, with a slight detour to Algoma mills and might be going through Muskoka in time for ONSTock......

I believe the company paid a royalty fee to the City of Moose Jaw....well rumour has it!
Imho, the city got a bad deal. The company gave the name a black eye. At one point their employees were repeatedly flipping something off the store's roof (I forget what that item was, it was largely harmless) as and advertising gimmic. These flew down into the street, distracting drivers who complained that they were a safety hazard. The place has to be run by teenagers...... On the other hand, maybe their customers think they are very funny....

Sounds like you are having quite a summer of adventure and travel - well done! Would be great if your schedule permitted you to spin tales on the deck at Jeff's cottage at OnSTOC...
