in Milwaukee Day 3Dawn arrived Sipping my first coffee of the day I
watched commuters as they headed into downtown via the Second Street Bridge and especially noted the motorcycle traffic This is a biker-friendly citymdashHarley-Davidson has seen to thatmdashbut is also very laidback even with its pervasive undercurrent of creative energy
Carrie Woods from Visit Milwaukee picked me up at the Iron Horse Hotel and we headed along the lakeshore on N Lincoln Memorial Drive to the old Milwaukee River Flushing Station Built in 1880 the flushing station was designed to pump 500-million gallons of water per day from the lake into the Milwaukee River to ldquoflushrdquo stagnant pollutants and sewage down the river The electric motor installed in 1912 continues to push water through the 12-foot diameter 2534-foot-long tunnel to increase the flow of the river during summer month However we were here for breakfast
Alterra-at-the-Lake is a cafeacute in the old pump house It might seem to be an unusual place to open a coffee shop but the setting is idyllic and while sitting on the sunny terrace sipping a double cappuccino Carrie related this local foodie success story Alterra Coffee Roasters was founded in

Wisconsin is a long way from the ocean but with a long stretch of gorgeous sand beach and waves large enough to surf the only thing missing is the tang of salt air N Lincoln Memorial Drive follows the lakeshore when it ended we headed back along the edge of the bluff stopping at the North Point Light House and then the Victorian Gothic-style water tower
We cruised down Brady Street another unique neighborhood noted for its restaurants bars and the Oriental Theater We continued south through East Town before crossing the Milwaukee River into Westown The various names of different districts gives the impression that Wisconsinrsquos largest city is spread over vast distances but this simply isnrsquot so everything is surprisingly close together
Furthermore its population has actually decreased from a peak of 750000 in the 1960rsquos to 600000 today and at times its wide city streets seemed almost devoid of traffic Milwaukee felt more like a large town than a city

Alterra on the Lake is a great spot to enjoy a morning coffee
Old World 3rd Street runs between W Juneau- and W Wisconsin Avenue These five blocks are a historic district that feature the Wisconsin Cheese Mart ndashworldrsquos largest selection of Wisconsin cheese Usingerrsquos Famous Sausagemdashfourth generation of this German family in their original store Maderrsquos Restaurant ndash perhaps the most famous German restaurant in the United States and Buck Bradleyrsquosmdash featuring the longest bar in Wisconsin at 75-feet Wandering down the street to Pere Marquette Park I spied an interesting building and after peering through the window couldnrsquot resist going inside to inspect the 22-ton circular vault doors The Milwaukee County Historical Society resides in what once was the Second Ward Savings Bank one of the first 12 Federal Reserve banks established in 1913 Beautifully restored it was used for one of the settings in ldquoPublic Enemiesrdquo starring Johnny Depp The vaults are now empty I checked
From Old World 3rd St in Westown we headed to a special treat in East Townmdasha journey of four blocksmdashwe should have walked
The Grohmann Museum (c 2007) is part of the Milwaukee School of Engineering and houses one of the most notable art collection in the world The theme is Man At Work with over 900 European and American paintings from the early 17th to late 20th century forming the core of the exhibit Yes Rembrandt Vermeer Brueghel Monet Remington Sargent and other famous artists are represented but it is the content the documentation of the transition from agrarian society to the modern industrial world that was so captivating I had the

rare opportunity to view the sculpture and stained glass in Dr Eckhart Grohmannrsquos private office and museum director James Kieselburg explained their relationship to the exhibited artworks I would have been content spending the entire afternoon in this museum
A quick stroll was taken through the Pfister Hotel (424 E Wisconsin Ave) a four-diamond property that contains the largest collection of Victorian paintings of any hotel in the world and around the block past Dickrsquos Pizza amp Pleasure There were a number of tantalizing places where we could have had lunch but the best burgers in the city were to be found on the north side of the Memomonee River
Sobelmanrsquos Pub amp Grill is located in one of the cityrsquos original Schlitz taverns Despite being sandwiched between Interstate 794 and the industries along the Memomonee River the joint was doing a brisk lunch-hour business It was difficult making a choice from the burger selection but I finally ordered The Bomb Black Angus pattymdashfresh not frozenmdashwith bacon fried onions
mushrooms and blue cheese in a bun that is baked locally exclusively for Sobelmanrsquos Irsquom usually not a fan of burgers but if lived in Milwaukee Irsquod come here at least once a week
Lakefront Brewery offers one of the best beer tours yoursquoll find in a city thatrsquos renown for them so we headed back up the Milwaukee River It was a home brewing competition between two brothers that resulted in the founding of the company in 1987 Success required more space and in 1998 they purchased the former power plant of the Milwaukee Electric Railway and Light Company for a dollar They produced the first certified organic beer in the nation and the first gluten-free beer to receive USDA labeling Their list of top awards in competitions around the world even head-to-
head against European and Australian brews is impressive Eight bucks buys five 6-oz cups of brew to savor in the beer hall and during the entertaining tour They must have run out of small cups because what I ended up with seemed more like a half-pint

moto-foodieWith time off for good behavior the remainder
of my last afternoon in the Cream City was spent doing a random walkabout with camera in hand Milwaukee is nicknamed ldquoCream Cityrdquo but this has nothing to do with dairy The distinctive clay found on the western shore of Lake Michigan produces a creamy yellow brick when fired First used around 1830 these bricks became the primary building material used from the 1850s to 1880s and thus a cream-colored cityscape rather than a ubiquitous brick red arose
The best foodie experience was saved for last Chef David Swanson creates some of the best dishes in the city at Braise Located on Walkerrsquos Point in the shadow of the Allen-Bradley clock tower this restaurant is part of Braise Culinary School that evolved from Braise RSA (restaurant supported agriculture) David Swanson has been at the forefront of farm-to-table initiatives and his restaurant and culinary school exemplifies the ldquolocavorerdquo movement The menu depends upon the season and changes almost weekly My goal was to sample as many small plates as possible while On the floor of the Lakefront Brewery
Once you know about cream city brick it will be noticed almost everywhere in
Walking back to the Iron Horse Hotel with a full belly the Polish Moon shone brightly behind me This is the nickname for the second-largest four-faced clock in the world Placed in the 283-foot high tower of the Allen-Bradley (Rockwell Automation) headquarters each dial measures over 40 feet in diameter and the clock requires 346 kilowatts to operate Itrsquos a prominent Milwaukee landmark that I frequently used during the past three days when exploring Walkerrsquos Point [Polish Moon_9633 The second-largest four-faced tower clock in the world is nicknamed ldquoThe Polish Moonrdquo because Walkerrsquos Point district was home to the cityrsquos Polish population]
An Internet search shows there are1400 restaurants listed for Milwaukee but I experienced merely 15 plus checked out another five during my stay There are famous restaurants and neighborhood spots only locals know of Some are in historic properties others in non-descript storefronts and local bars often have amazing menus Ethnic German Polish and Mexican cuisine flourishes along with traditional American and fusion yet the most striking aspect is the widespread commitment to high quality locally sourced food [Moto-Foodie in Milwaukee Day 3 map on Google for more detail go to httpgooglmaps33Hma ]

Every now and again Hollywood takes a real-life story and does a remarkable job transforming what might be a heroic tale or an against all odds success story that leaves audiences captivated emotionally attached to some characters and highly
entertained Granted these types of movies donrsquot come along often but when they do people flock to the theatres in part I believe because there is something uplifting encouraging that comes from experiencing a ldquofeel goodrdquo true story
How often in life do we experience that kind of a rush when our heart-strings have been yanked by someone or some cause and we have followed our instinct to reach out a helping hand in one form or another
I have experienced motorcycle breakdowns where strangers would stop to help and in the course of conversation a friendship develops and the person doing the giving winds up leaving with the biggest pump It just feels good when we can make a difference Recently a total stranger covered the cost of my morning ldquofixrdquo as they paid for my Tim Hortonrsquos coffee Small move but it felt good for me and so in turn I want to do that for
somebody else So can we say that lsquogood worksrsquo or lsquomaking a differencersquo is contagious I think so
As a biker church pastor I get to hear first-hand about peoplersquos troubles and triumphs in life and one thing is for sure just as much as people like to talk about their trials and challenges they love to talk about the good things going on in their lives the happy times and frankly I see those people who take the time to enjoy what they have and make the effort to lift up others to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives just naturally attract others to themselves
In our ldquoOwnerrsquos Manualrdquo for life we read in Psalm 11824 ldquoThis is the day that the Lord has made let us rejoice and be glad in itrdquo
So there you have it be grateful for the day and be happy That will make a difference in the lives ofpeople around you

As we see in the conflicts that are brewing around this world of ours the power of the people to affect change is powerful
A small group of committed individuals can accomplish much
They can topple governments or back them up against a wall
The on highway motorcycle community in Canada is rapidly approaching 1 million registered motorcycles
Every weekend you will see thousands of us gathered at various events across our respective provinces and territories always riding and working for charities that mean something to us that hit
home for usVery seldom however do you see this community
rally around itself and its own issues outside of riders we lovecare about needing help
As we get prepared for the 2014 riding season we as riders are going to face a variety of issues Some will affect all of us other issues will only affect certain riders
Insurance is an issue that affects us all as are the condition of the highways in this country So is distracted driving
As a rider who has ridden across this great land of ours I can tell you road maintenance is also an issue in the majority of regions
Some of us will experience police harassment others will ride uninterrupted
Some of us will experience headaches in communities with Motorcycle Only Noise Bylaws others will never be detained or bothered
Some of us will have great experiences at dealerships and others not so much
Some of us will experience discrimination and be turned away from establishments because of how we dress and what we ride others will experience none of that
This summer when you experience issues do something about it
Remember the POWER OF THE PEOPLEDocument it Photos videos and written
accounts of the situations you encounterThen if you live in a provinceterritory with a
Riders Rights Organization like BCCOM ABATE BRO Coalition of Manitoba Motorcycle Groups
RAGE or the newly formed Atlantic Motorcycle Coalition get that information into them so that they have something concrete to work with
They canrsquot help you or anyone else unless YOU give them something to work with
If you are in a province where there is no collective to represent your voice like in Alberta NWT YT - the only three regions without a provincialterritorial lobbying voice then yoursquoll really want to document things well especially if it involves court and lawyers If it is about roadways and other concerns you can at least present your MLA with the information
Every rider who experiences something of a discomforting nature should stand up and say something do something so that the others who come after you might not have to experience the same thing
If you arenrsquot a member of your local riders rights coalition consider becoming one
Our voice counts be it as an individual taxpayer or in a collective with many voices united but they only count when the persons we are discussing our
situation with can actually do something about itWhining and not taking the right actions do
nothing to alleviate problems - so this summer get a camera for your motorcycle or helmet have a note pad and a pen in a tool pouch or jacket pocket and remember the information you take down and share with the right people will do some good if not today somewhere down the road
Thatrsquos whatrsquos on my mind today what are your thoughts on the topic of the Power of the People
Have a great day and if you are one of the lucky ones who is riding today please remember to ride like everyone around you is blind and cannot see you
Until next week I am your editor Belt Drive Betty

Art amp The Motorcycle My Name Milton BeginMake Harley DavidsonYear 1993Title ldquoFresh Paint n Old LeatherrdquoArtist Jeremy Ferguson
The tragedy of the space shuttle Challenger is what gave me the idea of the paint scheme I knew I wanted to keep the blue color on the bike After all I as well as the people who know me have always referred to the bike as Olrsquo Blue Flames and skulls have been well overdone so it came to me scorched paint and steel Must have been what the shuttle was going thru for that split second in the early stage of re-entry
The bike was shipped out of Milwaukee in 1993 I rode it to Milwaukee in 2003 for the 100th Anniversary Ride Home Celebration for Harley Davidson Plans were made to ride it home again in 2013 for the 110th Anniversary Fresh paint was in order Hence the name Fresh Paint n Old Leather I have kept and still ride with the same leather for all too many years Although you canrsquot see many of the details in the picture Jeremy scratched in the dates after it was painted onto the bottom of the front fender It looks awesome because Jeremy is a talented individual
If I am able I will ride home again in 2023 The bike will undoubtedly make it

Light travels faster than sound This is why some people appear
No idea quite Where you are exactly nor do you know where yet you need to be
You feel as tossed as tumultuously as leaves in the wind
Your thoughts are as
turbulent amp dangerous as the moods of a teenagerYou are almost certain you are going in an
aimless direction with your eyes closed but your hands refuse to relinquish their grips
There is a time when the mind gleefully spins events amp memories into painful brutal tellings amp the tears dry upon your cheeks as fast as the wind can touch them leaving no trace
This is the time when intelligent rationale simply fails amp pure raw emotion takes over
Coherent thought is impossibleSpeech is non-existentThe primal need to fight- flee or fuck has kicked
into overdrive amp so with the flick of a thumb you opt for the fastest although not necessarily Wisest course of action amp race away from your demons at breakneck speed almost daring them to catch you
And the racechase is onMile after mile flashes past beneath you amp you
handle the bike as easily as breathing There are times when you ldquobecome onerdquo with it amp this is surely that time
It is pure sensation the adrenalin rush of exhilaration that isnrsquot noticed

On the sixth day God turned to Archangel Gabriel and said Today
I am going to create a land called Canada It will be a land of outstanding natural beauty It shall have tall majestic mountains full of mountain goats and eagles beautiful sparkling lakes bountiful with bass and trout forests full of elk and moose high cliffs over-looking sandy beaches with an abundance of sea life and rivers stocked with salmon
God continued
I shall make the land rich in resources so as to make the inhabitants prosper I shall call these inhabitants Canadians and they shall be known as the most friendly people on the earth
But Lord asked Gabriel dont you think you are being too generous to these Canadians
Not really replied GodJust wait and see the winters I am going to give

While the boy and his father were watching with amazement a fat old lady in a wheel chair rolled up to the moving walls and pressed a button The walls opened and the lady rolled between them into a small room The walls closed and the boy and his father watched the small circular numbers above the walls light up sequentially They continued to watch until it reached the last number and then the numbers began to light in the reverse order Then the walls opened up again and a gorgeous voluptuous 24-year-old blonde woman stepped out The father not taking his eyes off the young woman said quietly to his son

The Touch of a healerAn Irishman in a wheelchair entered a restaurant
one afternoon and asked the waitress for a cup of coffee The Irishman looked across the restaurant and asked Is that Jesus sitting over there The waitress nodded yes so the Irishman told her to give Jesus a cup of coffee on him
The next patron to come in was an Englishman with a hunched back He shuffled over to a booth painfully sat down and asked for a cup of hot tea He also glanced across the restaurant and asked Is that Jesus over there The waitress nodded so the Englishman said to give Jesus a cup of hot tea my treat
The third patron to come into the restaurant was a Redneck on crutches He hobbled over to a booth sat down and hollered Hey there sweet thang Hows about gettin me a cold glass of Coke He too looked across the restaurant and asked Is that
Gods boy over there The waitress once again nodded that it was so the Redneck said to give Jesus a cold glass of Coke on my bill
As Jesus got up to leave he passed by the Irishman touched him and said For your kindness you are healed The Irishman felt the strength come back to his legs got up and danced a jig right out the door
Jesus also passed by the Englishman touched him and said For your kindness you are healed The Englishman felt his back straightening up and he raised his hands praised the Lord and did a series of back flips out the door
Then Jesus walked up to the Redneck
The Redneck jumped up and yelled ldquoDonrsquot touch me Irsquom drawinrsquo disabilityrdquo
The most important thing for all motorcycle riders and vehicle drivers in Saskatchewan right now is standing-up and getting YOUR voice heardhellipand COUNTED
When it comes to the Saskatchewan Rate Review process each and every voice matters no matter how big no matter how small Every voice every opinion matters Use this process to make YOUR VOICE COUNT BEFORE April 28 2014 After thathellipit is too late
RAGE is here to continue what we started so successfully last year To continue to lobby SGI and the Provincial Government to put real and long-term public policy forward to end the continuous cycle of rate increases being implemented to
cover up escalating high-risk driving behaviour in Saskatchewan In a nutshell to stop just raising rates and not much else
If you parked a vehicle on the street downtown (any type of vehicle) and just left it there till it caused an accident How long would it take for that vehicle to be at-fault for causing one That is if it wasnrsquot stolen or vandalized first
Now if a person comes along gets into that same vehicle and drives off looking at their cellphone and texting How long
If it is a motorcycle and a person who just wrote their learners with zero experience (other than maybe a ride around the block) comes along gets on and rides off into traffic How long
The great thing about what we are putting forward is that it addresses ALL driver behavior Not vehicles but those who drive them ALL of us
You as a motorcycle and vehicle owner need to be speaking up this yearhellipin Saskatchewan you are more than likely both Making sure YOUR voice
Stand Up and Be Counted

Without all YOUR voicesindividuallyeach counting as 1UNITED into manyhellipSGI will simply not listen
Since the 1980rsquos and up until last yearvery few voices were raised to be counted during the Rate Review Process SGI pretty much did what they wantedthen last year BAM
For years SGI shut out anyone any group many efforts by the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel and the Provincial Government for any changeswhyNO UNITED VOICES Yes they brought in the 3 year MGDL in 2011 However they didnrsquot work with the groups involved past initial consultations SGI came to their own conclusions (no one could agree) and implemented what they
wanted SGI then stopped returning calls and continued to increase rates in 2012 and 2013
Even the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel has had difficulty getting the information they need from SGI to make informed decisions
Is it little wonder that the Minister Responsible for SGI felt she didnrsquot have to listen to the ldquosuggestionrdquo of the Rate Review Panel After all they never really had in previous years
Hammering us with another 15 increase could have been meant to knock us off our motorcycles and give up After all that hard workhellipand yet another increase Irsquom betting they expected us to cry in our coffee about how unfair they are about how they just do want they want anyway how we should just privatize and then do nothing more than that
Now that might have workedhellipin the past That is until last year the first time since the 1980rsquos when RAGE worked hard to organize YOUR voices YOU each used your own voices You each counted Then RAGE presented a proposal that took EACH ONE and MADE THEM COUNT as a UNITED VOICE
Then we did the unthinkablehellipWE STAYED We werenrsquot just there for 3 meetings WE
were 100 ALL INhellipFOR YOU To make sure YOUR VOICES continued to count RAGE continued to work with SGI on the wording for the recommendations put forward providing information for awareness sharing the ldquoCount Your Motorcyclerdquo game and much more
When it comes right down to it YOUR opinions and comments should matter to YOU IT does not matter if you donrsquot agree with the overall message of RAGE or your local riding club group
association coffee groupwhatever WHAT MATTERSis YOU getting YOUR VOICE
heard YOU canrsquot leave it up to everyone else You canrsquot assume anyone else is going to do this for YOU WE ALL MUST FIGHT
The worst thing you can do is nothing THAT is even worse than complaining and doing nothing Complaincomplain to your hearts contentto the Sask Rate Review Panel
THEN go have coffeeIf you canrsquot make it to the meeting in person
please at the very least contact the Rate Review Panel with YOUR voice
Each of our own voices count as 1 in this processjust as the voice of RAGE only counts as 1 We know SGI only listens when there are MANY following a UNITED theme
YOU can get YOUR voice heardand COUNTEDby submitting your comments regarding the application by April 28 2014 using any of the following methods

After a magnificent breakfast I started loading up my bike and it wasnrsquot long before the gang arrived to come take me sightseeing
Our first stop of the day after topping up our tanks was at the look out of Lac Saint Jean
From here you truly get a sense of how immense this lake is
We took some time to admire the view and chat about the plans for the rest of the day
Our next stop was to be the Camp Musical a purely French speaking musical camp for students to come and immerse themselves in the culture of the region and the music that is their passion
The camp has numerous housing units and the most incredible concert hall The Raymond Tremblay concert hall has 320 seats 2 piano rooms a bistro terrace and exhibition hall The Egyptian goddess Hathor is symbolized here and she represents happiness joy and music
The acoustics even when you are just speaking
well stunning would be the word to describe the sound quality
Everything about this 40-year-old institute screams creativity We went up to the gazebo on the observation deck and took in the panorama Breathtakingly beautiful you can see why this region inspires music and lyrics
After our tour of the camp was done we headed out towards the Village Historique Val-Jalbert Canadarsquos BEST preserved Ghost Town I couldnrsquot wait
The ride from the Camp Musical to Val-Jalbert which is just northwest of Chambord took about 30 minutes It was a wee bit overcast but the temperature was perfect for riding
When we arrived at Val-Jalbert we headed into the gorgeous visitor information centre and were assigned a tour guide named Michelle Pelletier Michelle turned out to be an amazing tour guide
She spoke in both French and English easily and made all of us feel so welcome

Saturday May 31st 2014 830 am Rain date June 1st rain or shine
We got in an electric cart and began our tour with Michelle telling us about the history of this town and why it is such a significant tourism and historical attraction
You see this town was the dream of one man Damase Jalbert He was the founder of the Ouiatchouan Pulp Company that built a pulp mill
here The town he founded for his employees started out as Saint-Georges-de-Ouiatchouan named for the river and the falls that powered the mill The name was changed to Val-Jalbert in 1913 in honor of the man whose dream it was
Damase wanted to build the best company town and provide his employees with a rarified quality of living
He died suddenly three years after opening the mill The mill faced a cash shortage and was bought by American shareholders in 1904 In 1909 the Chicoutimi Pulp Company bought it
From 1909 to 1922 the village flourished and was the envy of many surrounding communities
The company town offered employees electricity and running water in their homes a good 25 years before anyone else in Quebec had power
In 1923 the demand for mechanical pulp began to fall and by 1924 most of the workers had been laid off
On August 13th 1927 all operations ceased and over the next few years the village became abandoned
In 1942 the government took the property back for non-payment of taxes and in 1970 Val-Jalbert had new life breathed into it as a tourist attraction In recent years the government of Quebec has spent 19+ million dollars to upgrade and improve the visitors information centre put in a glass observation deck and a whole host of other improvements
Val-Jalbert must have been the most amazing town in the region in its day because this place is utterly amazing today The Quebec government has spent a lot of money and time restoring this
place to preserve the history and they have done an incredible job
Our first stop on the tour was the convent school where we met ldquoMother Superiorrdquo who took us through the school and answered our questions She was stern but I think there was a glint of mischief in her eyes as she ldquodisciplinedrdquo us on proper etiquette
There was the most amazing art display in
one room and in another the historical timeline of the residents of Val-Jalbert to take in The antiques and furnishings truly made you feel you were stuck in a time warp
After touring the school we headed towards the post office The ldquopostmistressrdquo was this chatty little gal that had us peeing ourselves we were laughing so hard It was pretty cool to see the old stamps and the various bits of equipment of the day
We walked up the street to take a tour of the restored duplexes that line the main street You have to see these places to truly appreciate them Imagine 1910 and you can flip a switch and have lights turn a tap and have water flush a toilet and not have to walk to the outhouse
These company houses were so well built and the people who lived here were fiercely loyal to the company that treated them so well
From the duplexes we went to the general store where we ran into the ldquoMayorrdquo the only person in town to have a car The general store offers up everything a visitor could need plus acts as a museum with lots of interesting period pieces on display
Michelle had gotten keys to show us the duplexes that have been upgraded and make up the 4 star accommodations offered here
We walked across the street and were taken to view to the most amazing hotel rooms
Rustic and yet modern these rooms are spacious well appointed and every one of them has unique little shadow boxes filled with antiques
All of the modern appliances Internet boxes and TV are all hidden in closets so that they are not visible It makes for a very appealing deacutecor
Although the rooms appear to only have one bed in the matter of a few moments Michelle had the
couch taken apart and the bed folded down out of the wall for a second bed
The bathrooms are absolute marvels with big tubs and glass showers
The parking for the hotel rooms is hidden behind a row of trees so that there is no real visual of anything modern on the face of things
From the hotel rooms we got back in the electric cart and headed towards the ldquoruinsrdquo Although many of the duplexes have been restored Michelle explained to us that the style of construction for the company houses had been changed and that
the newer houses had collapsed on themselves Some of the buildings are slated for restoration but many are too far-gone The streets they line are preserved so that one can walk by the ruins and get a feel for how large this town really was and how well laid out it was
Our next stop was the Mill Impressive is a good word to describe this place We had our lunch in the Old Mill Restaurant The food served here complimented the
atmosphere ndash IMPECCABLEThe chef Carl Murray has a great reputation that
he totally lives up toThe service
the food the atmosphere and the company were all top drawer
After our fabulous meal it was time to head to the tram and go experience the waterfalls
The ride up to the top gives you the most magnificent view of the region The Ouiatchouan Falls are some 65 feet higher than the Niagara Falls
and the power of them is palpable The rushing water is almost deafening as you walk out on to the glass observation deck
From the falls we walked down to the mill again and took in the most impressive interactive show I have ever experienced In the underbelly of the once abandoned mill amongst all of the monster gearing and shafts the lights go dim you feel the mist in the air and all of a sudden the walls become alive with characters from the original town and they take you through the historical timeline of the village and its people
It is absolutely captivating you become totally involved in the lives and the hardship of the villagers
The show signaled the end of our tour and Michelle took us back to the visitor information centre and sent us all off with gifts of blueberry jam and blueberry tea to remember our visit by
My bike had been acting up off and on and I had been keeping an eye out on a leak coming from the front of the engine The noise from the shifter region was becoming louder but I wasnrsquot experiencing any power loss so I kept an ear out and we kept riding
Our next stop was at the Cheddar Cheese Museum in Saint-Prime where a sweet young man took us on a tour
He showed us the old-fashioned way cheddar cheese was made and then we got to tour the museum portion of the factory 4 generations of the family Perron have made cheddar cheese here
The museum has over 650 artifacts that involve the familyrsquos history in cheese making including the stamps and other machinery used in exporting the cheese
The Cheddar Cheese Museum offers interactive displays and hosts several workshops on the art of making cheddar Upstairs you can view the family home of the Perronrsquos and see all of the period specific furnishings
Along with guided tours you can also sample the various types of cheddar cheese which we did and oh my I have never tasted cheddar that was so smooth and rich
After thanking our young guide for the fabulous tour we headed off
We stopped at Tim Hortonrsquos for a coffee and sitting out on the curb in front of my bike I could see the leak was getting worse I was very concerned and asked if there was a shop nearby where I could at least check the oil level in my primary
Rejean talked to one of the local riders Denis AKA Tarte au Sucre (Sweet Pie) and he took us to Carl Tremblayrsquos shop Carl is a mechanic that many here swear by His rates are far cheaper than the dealerships and every rider in the region says hersquos a guru He took the primary apart and sure
enough discovered that the compensating sprocket was dead and the stator was leaking With parts ordered and Rejeanrsquos wife going to the Harley shop to pick them up Francine Lynne Rejean and Denis rode me to my hotel the Motel Chutes des Pegraveres in Dolbeau-Mistassini My gear and luggage was distributed over three of the four bikes
By the time we got in it was dark and everyone had to head home I enjoyed a wonderful steak for supper and then headed off to my beautiful room and after a boiling hot pounding shower I climbed into the queen-sized bed and with the sound of the falls lulling me to sleep
And thatrsquos where I will leave you until next weekhellipBelt Drive Betty

1 - Yoursquoll Become a Better DriverTherersquos no doubt that riding a motorcycle has its
benefits especially when it comes to driving a car Riding a motorcycle teaches you to look out for people who are trying to kill you yoursquoll see hazards sooner and yoursquoll end up with Ninja-like machine control So when it comes to driving yoursquoll put all that to work and be a cut above the rest Hopefully
2 - Everyone Wants To Talk To YouIt really doesnrsquot matter what kind of motorcycle
you ride yoursquoll find middle-aged men stare at you and your bike with a dreamy lust before giving you an unwanted compliment Chances are theyrsquoll have no idea what the bike is either
Choose a classic or even worse a modern classic and yoursquoll become a magnet for old men who have the knack of being able to have a conversation with you without you needing to add any input Yoursquoll reach for your helmet on more than one occasion but not be able to put in on and leave because theyrsquoll ask you a question when you try Yoursquoll be subjected to questions about your
bike that you donrsquot know the answer to or even care about
The conversation will go something like this Is that a Triumph I had a Triumph once (followed by 10 minutes of ldquoback in my day rdquo)
3 - When You Say Yoursquore A Biker This Is The First Image That
Comes To Peoplehellip
5 Things They Never Told You About Becoming A Bikerby Robert Whaley NW Ontario Motorcycling
You could be a nice guy you could have something that resembles a career you could do the occasional BBQ it doesnrsquot matter When you mention to anyone at a party that yoursquove got a motorcycle a picture of this guy will pop into their head Then as you explain that you donrsquot ride a cruiser and yoursquove got a sportsbike theyrsquoll just think yoursquore speaking Greek and will reevaluate you as some sort of nut job who tries to kill himself on the highways Itrsquos a no-win
4 - Bees and Other Flying Things Will Start To Scare You
Anything flying will scare you When yoursquore sitting around at a family BBQ and everyone starts going mental the moment a bee or a wasp arrives on the scene you sit there perfectly calm and wonder what all the fuss is about
However - when yoursquore on a bike itrsquos a different story There you are riding along on a nice sunny day with your visor up enjoying the countryside and the winding road in front of you
Then you spot it 50 metres away a large insect looks like its stopped going about its daily business and itrsquos homing in at you instead Before you can do anything about it it goes THHHHHWAP right on your cheek Close but luckily it didnrsquot get you in the eye Then you panic the little bastardrsquos still in your helmet You insert a clumsy leather-clad finger and try and flick whatever it is away but probably end up pissing it off even further Then you crank on the brakes and perform the worldrsquos fastest lid removal followed by a little bit of a flappy-armed dance
5 - You Canrsquot Figure Out Who To Wave ToWhen you get a motorcycle you become part of a
club Itrsquos a club no biker really talks about but yoursquore in it now and yoursquore not allowed to leave Ever When you first pass your test yoursquoll wave at anyone and everyone If yoursquore heading down a road and a dog looks at you the right way yoursquoll probably wave at him too
Unfortunately this will change There are no set rules as to how it will change but yoursquoll end up developing your own code Me I wave at everyone dogs too and donrsquot give a second thought to the riders that donrsquot wave back But thatrsquos just me Yoursquoll have to work out your own code
Breaking is one of the most important things that you will learn to do on a motorcycle When we first learn to ride we are taught techniques to protect ourselves from crashing such as breaking shifting and countersteering But generally the most effective way to avoid an accident is through proper use of the brakes
The rear brake in particular is probably one of the least understood controls on a motorcycle Many riders donrsquot use the rear brake at all claiming that it doesnrsquot actually aid in slowing down or stopping the bike and say that it locks up the rear tire when trying to use it In fact most experts agree that a balanced use of both the front and rear brake is the most effective way of slowing or stopping a motorcycle
The rear brake also plays a huge role in adding stability to the bike when maneuvering
Because of the weight distribution on a motorcycle the braking balance of stopping power between the front and rear is 70 on the front and 30 on the rear This should tell you that if you donrsquot use the rear brake at all you are loosing 30 of the potential stopping power on your bike This could become a critical factor if you find yourself in trouble and have to try
and avoid an accident
Why does the rear brake lock up Well once again it has to do with weight distribution When you find yourself in a braking situation and start applying the brakes the geometry of the bike changes (due partly to the suspension) and much of the total weight (bike + rider) is transferred to the front This allows the rider to apply much more front brake than rear brake (the 7030 ratio)
Learning the finer points of your bikersquos braking performance is the key to keeping your bike in control It is a good idea to explore those limits in a safe environment
Practice repeated stops in an abandoned parking lot and yoursquoll start to get a feel for the amount of
effort that triggers tire slippage or rear tire lock-up
Try stopping with your front brake only then rear only and then a combination of both Once you become more familiar with your bikersquos brakes the sensations of weight transfer will start to feel more apparent and familiar That way yoursquoll be much more aware of the limits of your bike and yoursquoll be much better prepared in stopping

CAV To Hold AGM During ATLANTICADE (Summerside PE)
ndash The relationship started off by accident back in 2007 in
Moncton during the inaugural Atlanticade eventldquoI saw these guys who were hanging around
together with CAV crests on their vests and didnrsquot really know who they wererdquo says Dale Hicks festival founder and chairman Hicks began to connect the dots on the final day when the closing parade ended at the local veteranrsquos health care center and the CAV riders were very engaged with the vets ldquoSo I starting asking ndash who are these guys and what does CAV stand forrdquo
That was over seven years ago and now the relationship between Atlanticade and the Canadian Army Veterans is as strong a bond as you will find anywhere in the world of motorcycle events
ldquoOnce we became aware of who the CAV group was and what they represented I said well this group reflects the best of what it means to be Canadian so we certainly wanted to build a relationship with themrdquo recalls Hicks
Since then CAV has played a significant role in some form or fashion at each Atlanticade event The festival now has a
ldquoSupport the Troopsrdquo activity incorporated into the schedule each year where CAV plays a lead role In addition CAV will also be found leading parades such as the Confederation Bridge Cruise and the Parade of Iron Horses
In fact in 2011 Hicks was surprised and honored to be presented with an
honorary membership into the CAV organization at the closing awards breakfast at the Algonquin Hotel in St Andrews
ldquoYeah they caught me off guard with that and I certainly was humbled and honored by to be presented the crest by Trapperrdquo says Hicks ldquoI donrsquot feel worthy of wearing the crest but I do sport it proudly at certain times during Atlanticaderdquo
The unique bond between the two organizations continues for the upcoming 8th annual festival being held in Summerside PEI from June 27th to

(Atlanticade chairman Dale Hicks had just presented Trapper Cane with the annual ldquoExperienced Rider Awardrdquo
when Cane turned the tables by presenting Hicks with his honorary CAV membership during the 2011 event)
July 1st Recenty CAV founder Paul (Trapper) Cane announced the grouprsquos annual general meeting will take place in Summerside in conjunction with Atlanticade
ldquoAtlanticade brings great energy to all riders and our CAV members certainly appreciate the extra efforts put forth by Dalersquos team to give us some profile at the eventrdquo says Cane ldquoNo doubt it has been a great relationship between the two organizations and we hope it continues well into the futurerdquo
For his part Hicks says that Atlanticade is very proud to be able to host the CAV ndash AGM as part of the 2014 festival ldquoWe always have a good turnout of CAV members at our event but this will mean an additional boost in participants from across the country We hope we can make it a little special for them and something they will remember years down the roadrdquo

and take a step up Pretty soon everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted offAnd the moral ishellip Life is going to shovel dirt on you all kinds of dirt The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up Each of our troubles is a steppingstone We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping never giving up Shake it off and take a step up

Wisconsin is a long way from the ocean but with a long stretch of gorgeous sand beach and waves large enough to surf the only thing missing is the tang of salt air N Lincoln Memorial Drive follows the lakeshore when it ended we headed back along the edge of the bluff stopping at the North Point Light House and then the Victorian Gothic-style water tower
We cruised down Brady Street another unique neighborhood noted for its restaurants bars and the Oriental Theater We continued south through East Town before crossing the Milwaukee River into Westown The various names of different districts gives the impression that Wisconsinrsquos largest city is spread over vast distances but this simply isnrsquot so everything is surprisingly close together
Furthermore its population has actually decreased from a peak of 750000 in the 1960rsquos to 600000 today and at times its wide city streets seemed almost devoid of traffic Milwaukee felt more like a large town than a city

A quick stroll was taken through the Pfister Hotel (424 E Wisconsin Ave) a four-diamond property that contains the largest collection of Victorian paintings of any hotel in the world and around the block past Dickrsquos Pizza amp Pleasure There were a number of tantalizing places where we could have had lunch but the best burgers in the city were to be found on the north side of the Memomonee River
Sobelmanrsquos Pub amp Grill is located in one of the cityrsquos original Schlitz taverns Despite being sandwiched between Interstate 794 and the industries along the Memomonee River the joint was doing a brisk lunch-hour business It was difficult making a choice from the burger selection but I finally ordered The Bomb Black Angus pattymdashfresh not frozenmdashwith bacon fried onions

moto-foodieWith time off for good behavior the remainder
of my last afternoon in the Cream City was spent doing a random walkabout with camera in hand Milwaukee is nicknamed ldquoCream Cityrdquo but this has nothing to do with dairy The distinctive clay found on the western shore of Lake Michigan produces a creamy yellow brick when fired First used around 1830 these bricks became the primary building material used from the 1850s to 1880s and thus a cream-colored cityscape rather than a ubiquitous brick red arose
The best foodie experience was saved for last Chef David Swanson creates some of the best dishes in the city at Braise Located on Walkerrsquos Point in the shadow of the Allen-Bradley clock tower this restaurant is part of Braise Culinary School that evolved from Braise RSA (restaurant supported agriculture) David Swanson has been at the forefront of farm-to-table initiatives and his restaurant and culinary school exemplifies the ldquolocavorerdquo movement The menu depends upon the season and changes almost weekly My goal was to sample as many small plates as possible while On the floor of the Lakefront Brewery
Once you know about cream city brick it will be noticed almost everywhere in
Walking back to the Iron Horse Hotel with a full belly the Polish Moon shone brightly behind me This is the nickname for the second-largest four-faced clock in the world Placed in the 283-foot high tower of the Allen-Bradley (Rockwell Automation) headquarters each dial measures over 40 feet in diameter and the clock requires 346 kilowatts to operate Itrsquos a prominent Milwaukee landmark that I frequently used during the past three days when exploring Walkerrsquos Point [Polish Moon_9633 The second-largest four-faced tower clock in the world is nicknamed ldquoThe Polish Moonrdquo because Walkerrsquos Point district was home to the cityrsquos Polish population]
An Internet search shows there are1400 restaurants listed for Milwaukee but I experienced merely 15 plus checked out another five during my stay There are famous restaurants and neighborhood spots only locals know of Some are in historic properties others in non-descript storefronts and local bars often have amazing menus Ethnic German Polish and Mexican cuisine flourishes along with traditional American and fusion yet the most striking aspect is the widespread commitment to high quality locally sourced food [Moto-Foodie in Milwaukee Day 3 map on Google for more detail go to httpgooglmaps33Hma ]

Every now and again Hollywood takes a real-life story and does a remarkable job transforming what might be a heroic tale or an against all odds success story that leaves audiences captivated emotionally attached to some characters and highly
entertained Granted these types of movies donrsquot come along often but when they do people flock to the theatres in part I believe because there is something uplifting encouraging that comes from experiencing a ldquofeel goodrdquo true story
How often in life do we experience that kind of a rush when our heart-strings have been yanked by someone or some cause and we have followed our instinct to reach out a helping hand in one form or another
I have experienced motorcycle breakdowns where strangers would stop to help and in the course of conversation a friendship develops and the person doing the giving winds up leaving with the biggest pump It just feels good when we can make a difference Recently a total stranger covered the cost of my morning ldquofixrdquo as they paid for my Tim Hortonrsquos coffee Small move but it felt good for me and so in turn I want to do that for
somebody else So can we say that lsquogood worksrsquo or lsquomaking a differencersquo is contagious I think so
As a biker church pastor I get to hear first-hand about peoplersquos troubles and triumphs in life and one thing is for sure just as much as people like to talk about their trials and challenges they love to talk about the good things going on in their lives the happy times and frankly I see those people who take the time to enjoy what they have and make the effort to lift up others to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives just naturally attract others to themselves
In our ldquoOwnerrsquos Manualrdquo for life we read in Psalm 11824 ldquoThis is the day that the Lord has made let us rejoice and be glad in itrdquo
So there you have it be grateful for the day and be happy That will make a difference in the lives ofpeople around you

As we see in the conflicts that are brewing around this world of ours the power of the people to affect change is powerful
A small group of committed individuals can accomplish much
They can topple governments or back them up against a wall
The on highway motorcycle community in Canada is rapidly approaching 1 million registered motorcycles
Every weekend you will see thousands of us gathered at various events across our respective provinces and territories always riding and working for charities that mean something to us that hit
home for usVery seldom however do you see this community
rally around itself and its own issues outside of riders we lovecare about needing help
As we get prepared for the 2014 riding season we as riders are going to face a variety of issues Some will affect all of us other issues will only affect certain riders
Insurance is an issue that affects us all as are the condition of the highways in this country So is distracted driving
As a rider who has ridden across this great land of ours I can tell you road maintenance is also an issue in the majority of regions
Some of us will experience police harassment others will ride uninterrupted
Some of us will experience headaches in communities with Motorcycle Only Noise Bylaws others will never be detained or bothered
Some of us will have great experiences at dealerships and others not so much
Some of us will experience discrimination and be turned away from establishments because of how we dress and what we ride others will experience none of that
This summer when you experience issues do something about it
Remember the POWER OF THE PEOPLEDocument it Photos videos and written
accounts of the situations you encounterThen if you live in a provinceterritory with a
Riders Rights Organization like BCCOM ABATE BRO Coalition of Manitoba Motorcycle Groups
RAGE or the newly formed Atlantic Motorcycle Coalition get that information into them so that they have something concrete to work with
They canrsquot help you or anyone else unless YOU give them something to work with
If you are in a province where there is no collective to represent your voice like in Alberta NWT YT - the only three regions without a provincialterritorial lobbying voice then yoursquoll really want to document things well especially if it involves court and lawyers If it is about roadways and other concerns you can at least present your MLA with the information
Every rider who experiences something of a discomforting nature should stand up and say something do something so that the others who come after you might not have to experience the same thing
If you arenrsquot a member of your local riders rights coalition consider becoming one
Our voice counts be it as an individual taxpayer or in a collective with many voices united but they only count when the persons we are discussing our
situation with can actually do something about itWhining and not taking the right actions do
nothing to alleviate problems - so this summer get a camera for your motorcycle or helmet have a note pad and a pen in a tool pouch or jacket pocket and remember the information you take down and share with the right people will do some good if not today somewhere down the road
Thatrsquos whatrsquos on my mind today what are your thoughts on the topic of the Power of the People
Have a great day and if you are one of the lucky ones who is riding today please remember to ride like everyone around you is blind and cannot see you
Until next week I am your editor Belt Drive Betty

Art amp The Motorcycle My Name Milton BeginMake Harley DavidsonYear 1993Title ldquoFresh Paint n Old LeatherrdquoArtist Jeremy Ferguson
The tragedy of the space shuttle Challenger is what gave me the idea of the paint scheme I knew I wanted to keep the blue color on the bike After all I as well as the people who know me have always referred to the bike as Olrsquo Blue Flames and skulls have been well overdone so it came to me scorched paint and steel Must have been what the shuttle was going thru for that split second in the early stage of re-entry
The bike was shipped out of Milwaukee in 1993 I rode it to Milwaukee in 2003 for the 100th Anniversary Ride Home Celebration for Harley Davidson Plans were made to ride it home again in 2013 for the 110th Anniversary Fresh paint was in order Hence the name Fresh Paint n Old Leather I have kept and still ride with the same leather for all too many years Although you canrsquot see many of the details in the picture Jeremy scratched in the dates after it was painted onto the bottom of the front fender It looks awesome because Jeremy is a talented individual
If I am able I will ride home again in 2023 The bike will undoubtedly make it

There is a time when the mind gleefully spins events amp memories into painful brutal tellings amp the tears dry upon your cheeks as fast as the wind can touch them leaving no trace
This is the time when intelligent rationale simply fails amp pure raw emotion takes over
Coherent thought is impossibleSpeech is non-existentThe primal need to fight- flee or fuck has kicked

On the sixth day God turned to Archangel Gabriel and said Today
I am going to create a land called Canada It will be a land of outstanding natural beauty It shall have tall majestic mountains full of mountain goats and eagles beautiful sparkling lakes bountiful with bass and trout forests full of elk and moose high cliffs over-looking sandy beaches with an abundance of sea life and rivers stocked with salmon
God continued
I shall make the land rich in resources so as to make the inhabitants prosper I shall call these inhabitants Canadians and they shall be known as the most friendly people on the earth
But Lord asked Gabriel dont you think you are being too generous to these Canadians
Not really replied GodJust wait and see the winters I am going to give

A Fair ExchangeA redneck family from the hills was visiting the city
and they were in a mall for the first time in their life The father and son were strolling around while the wife shopped
They were amazed by almost everything they saw but especially by two shiny Silver walls that could

While the boy and his father were watching with amazement a fat old lady in a wheel chair rolled up to the moving walls and pressed a button The walls opened and the lady rolled between them into a small room The walls closed and the boy and his father watched the small circular numbers above the walls light up sequentially They continued to watch until it reached the last number and then the numbers began to light in the reverse order Then the walls opened up again and a gorgeous voluptuous 24-year-old blonde woman stepped out The father not taking his eyes off the young woman said quietly to his son

The Touch of a healerAn Irishman in a wheelchair entered a restaurant
one afternoon and asked the waitress for a cup of coffee The Irishman looked across the restaurant and asked Is that Jesus sitting over there The waitress nodded yes so the Irishman told her to give Jesus a cup of coffee on him
The next patron to come in was an Englishman with a hunched back He shuffled over to a booth painfully sat down and asked for a cup of hot tea He also glanced across the restaurant and asked Is that Jesus over there The waitress nodded so the Englishman said to give Jesus a cup of hot tea my treat
The third patron to come into the restaurant was a Redneck on crutches He hobbled over to a booth sat down and hollered Hey there sweet thang Hows about gettin me a cold glass of Coke He too looked across the restaurant and asked Is that
Gods boy over there The waitress once again nodded that it was so the Redneck said to give Jesus a cold glass of Coke on my bill
As Jesus got up to leave he passed by the Irishman touched him and said For your kindness you are healed The Irishman felt the strength come back to his legs got up and danced a jig right out the door
Jesus also passed by the Englishman touched him and said For your kindness you are healed The Englishman felt his back straightening up and he raised his hands praised the Lord and did a series of back flips out the door
Then Jesus walked up to the Redneck
The Redneck jumped up and yelled ldquoDonrsquot touch me Irsquom drawinrsquo disabilityrdquo
The most important thing for all motorcycle riders and vehicle drivers in Saskatchewan right now is standing-up and getting YOUR voice heardhellipand COUNTED
When it comes to the Saskatchewan Rate Review process each and every voice matters no matter how big no matter how small Every voice every opinion matters Use this process to make YOUR VOICE COUNT BEFORE April 28 2014 After thathellipit is too late
RAGE is here to continue what we started so successfully last year To continue to lobby SGI and the Provincial Government to put real and long-term public policy forward to end the continuous cycle of rate increases being implemented to
cover up escalating high-risk driving behaviour in Saskatchewan In a nutshell to stop just raising rates and not much else
If you parked a vehicle on the street downtown (any type of vehicle) and just left it there till it caused an accident How long would it take for that vehicle to be at-fault for causing one That is if it wasnrsquot stolen or vandalized first
Now if a person comes along gets into that same vehicle and drives off looking at their cellphone and texting How long
If it is a motorcycle and a person who just wrote their learners with zero experience (other than maybe a ride around the block) comes along gets on and rides off into traffic How long
The great thing about what we are putting forward is that it addresses ALL driver behavior Not vehicles but those who drive them ALL of us
You as a motorcycle and vehicle owner need to be speaking up this yearhellipin Saskatchewan you are more than likely both Making sure YOUR voice
Stand Up and Be Counted

To book an appointment or find out more about the BodyTalk System call
gets counted To stop the endless cycle of just raising rates with not much else
This will allow RAGE to have a strong voice when it comes to the Personal Injury Insurance Review happening later this year Remember YOUR ldquoa-la-carterdquo recommendation has been approved by government
To continue to fight for mandatory safety training (Yes RAGE has always wanted this to be mandatory)
To continue to work with SGI on the things they are already implementing as a result of RAGE and ALL YOUR VOICES
YOUR VOICEno matter what your messageMATTERS to RAGE
Without all YOUR voicesindividuallyeach counting as 1UNITED into manyhellipSGI will simply not listen
Since the 1980rsquos and up until last yearvery few voices were raised to be counted during the Rate Review Process SGI pretty much did what they wantedthen last year BAM
For years SGI shut out anyone any group many efforts by the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel and the Provincial Government for any changeswhyNO UNITED VOICES Yes they brought in the 3 year MGDL in 2011 However they didnrsquot work with the groups involved past initial consultations SGI came to their own conclusions (no one could agree) and implemented what they
wanted SGI then stopped returning calls and continued to increase rates in 2012 and 2013
Even the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel has had difficulty getting the information they need from SGI to make informed decisions
Is it little wonder that the Minister Responsible for SGI felt she didnrsquot have to listen to the ldquosuggestionrdquo of the Rate Review Panel After all they never really had in previous years
Hammering us with another 15 increase could have been meant to knock us off our motorcycles and give up After all that hard workhellipand yet another increase Irsquom betting they expected us to cry in our coffee about how unfair they are about how they just do want they want anyway how we should just privatize and then do nothing more than that
Now that might have workedhellipin the past That is until last year the first time since the 1980rsquos when RAGE worked hard to organize YOUR voices YOU each used your own voices You each counted Then RAGE presented a proposal that took EACH ONE and MADE THEM COUNT as a UNITED VOICE
Then we did the unthinkablehellipWE STAYED We werenrsquot just there for 3 meetings WE
were 100 ALL INhellipFOR YOU To make sure YOUR VOICES continued to count RAGE continued to work with SGI on the wording for the recommendations put forward providing information for awareness sharing the ldquoCount Your Motorcyclerdquo game and much more
When it comes right down to it YOUR opinions and comments should matter to YOU IT does not matter if you donrsquot agree with the overall message of RAGE or your local riding club group
association coffee groupwhatever WHAT MATTERSis YOU getting YOUR VOICE
heard YOU canrsquot leave it up to everyone else You canrsquot assume anyone else is going to do this for YOU WE ALL MUST FIGHT
The worst thing you can do is nothing THAT is even worse than complaining and doing nothing Complaincomplain to your hearts contentto the Sask Rate Review Panel
THEN go have coffeeIf you canrsquot make it to the meeting in person
please at the very least contact the Rate Review Panel with YOUR voice
Each of our own voices count as 1 in this processjust as the voice of RAGE only counts as 1 We know SGI only listens when there are MANY following a UNITED theme
YOU can get YOUR voice heardand COUNTEDby submitting your comments regarding the application by April 28 2014 using any of the following methods

After a magnificent breakfast I started loading up my bike and it wasnrsquot long before the gang arrived to come take me sightseeing
Our first stop of the day after topping up our tanks was at the look out of Lac Saint Jean
From here you truly get a sense of how immense this lake is
We took some time to admire the view and chat about the plans for the rest of the day
Our next stop was to be the Camp Musical a purely French speaking musical camp for students to come and immerse themselves in the culture of the region and the music that is their passion
The camp has numerous housing units and the most incredible concert hall The Raymond Tremblay concert hall has 320 seats 2 piano rooms a bistro terrace and exhibition hall The Egyptian goddess Hathor is symbolized here and she represents happiness joy and music
The acoustics even when you are just speaking
well stunning would be the word to describe the sound quality
Everything about this 40-year-old institute screams creativity We went up to the gazebo on the observation deck and took in the panorama Breathtakingly beautiful you can see why this region inspires music and lyrics
After our tour of the camp was done we headed out towards the Village Historique Val-Jalbert Canadarsquos BEST preserved Ghost Town I couldnrsquot wait
The ride from the Camp Musical to Val-Jalbert which is just northwest of Chambord took about 30 minutes It was a wee bit overcast but the temperature was perfect for riding
When we arrived at Val-Jalbert we headed into the gorgeous visitor information centre and were assigned a tour guide named Michelle Pelletier Michelle turned out to be an amazing tour guide
She spoke in both French and English easily and made all of us feel so welcome

We got in an electric cart and began our tour with Michelle telling us about the history of this town and why it is such a significant tourism and historical attraction
You see this town was the dream of one man Damase Jalbert He was the founder of the Ouiatchouan Pulp Company that built a pulp mill
here The town he founded for his employees started out as Saint-Georges-de-Ouiatchouan named for the river and the falls that powered the mill The name was changed to Val-Jalbert in 1913 in honor of the man whose dream it was
Damase wanted to build the best company town and provide his employees with a rarified quality of living
He died suddenly three years after opening the mill The mill faced a cash shortage and was bought by American shareholders in 1904 In 1909 the Chicoutimi Pulp Company bought it
From 1909 to 1922 the village flourished and was the envy of many surrounding communities
The company town offered employees electricity and running water in their homes a good 25 years before anyone else in Quebec had power
In 1923 the demand for mechanical pulp began to fall and by 1924 most of the workers had been laid off
On August 13th 1927 all operations ceased and over the next few years the village became abandoned
In 1942 the government took the property back for non-payment of taxes and in 1970 Val-Jalbert had new life breathed into it as a tourist attraction In recent years the government of Quebec has spent 19+ million dollars to upgrade and improve the visitors information centre put in a glass observation deck and a whole host of other improvements
Val-Jalbert must have been the most amazing town in the region in its day because this place is utterly amazing today The Quebec government has spent a lot of money and time restoring this
place to preserve the history and they have done an incredible job
Our first stop on the tour was the convent school where we met ldquoMother Superiorrdquo who took us through the school and answered our questions She was stern but I think there was a glint of mischief in her eyes as she ldquodisciplinedrdquo us on proper etiquette
There was the most amazing art display in
one room and in another the historical timeline of the residents of Val-Jalbert to take in The antiques and furnishings truly made you feel you were stuck in a time warp
After touring the school we headed towards the post office The ldquopostmistressrdquo was this chatty little gal that had us peeing ourselves we were laughing so hard It was pretty cool to see the old stamps and the various bits of equipment of the day
We walked up the street to take a tour of the restored duplexes that line the main street You have to see these places to truly appreciate them Imagine 1910 and you can flip a switch and have lights turn a tap and have water flush a toilet and not have to walk to the outhouse
These company houses were so well built and the people who lived here were fiercely loyal to the company that treated them so well
From the duplexes we went to the general store where we ran into the ldquoMayorrdquo the only person in town to have a car The general store offers up everything a visitor could need plus acts as a museum with lots of interesting period pieces on display
Michelle had gotten keys to show us the duplexes that have been upgraded and make up the 4 star accommodations offered here
We walked across the street and were taken to view to the most amazing hotel rooms
Rustic and yet modern these rooms are spacious well appointed and every one of them has unique little shadow boxes filled with antiques
All of the modern appliances Internet boxes and TV are all hidden in closets so that they are not visible It makes for a very appealing deacutecor
Although the rooms appear to only have one bed in the matter of a few moments Michelle had the
couch taken apart and the bed folded down out of the wall for a second bed
The bathrooms are absolute marvels with big tubs and glass showers
The parking for the hotel rooms is hidden behind a row of trees so that there is no real visual of anything modern on the face of things
From the hotel rooms we got back in the electric cart and headed towards the ldquoruinsrdquo Although many of the duplexes have been restored Michelle explained to us that the style of construction for the company houses had been changed and that
the newer houses had collapsed on themselves Some of the buildings are slated for restoration but many are too far-gone The streets they line are preserved so that one can walk by the ruins and get a feel for how large this town really was and how well laid out it was
Our next stop was the Mill Impressive is a good word to describe this place We had our lunch in the Old Mill Restaurant The food served here complimented the
atmosphere ndash IMPECCABLEThe chef Carl Murray has a great reputation that
he totally lives up toThe service
the food the atmosphere and the company were all top drawer
After our fabulous meal it was time to head to the tram and go experience the waterfalls
The ride up to the top gives you the most magnificent view of the region The Ouiatchouan Falls are some 65 feet higher than the Niagara Falls
and the power of them is palpable The rushing water is almost deafening as you walk out on to the glass observation deck
From the falls we walked down to the mill again and took in the most impressive interactive show I have ever experienced In the underbelly of the once abandoned mill amongst all of the monster gearing and shafts the lights go dim you feel the mist in the air and all of a sudden the walls become alive with characters from the original town and they take you through the historical timeline of the village and its people
It is absolutely captivating you become totally involved in the lives and the hardship of the villagers
The show signaled the end of our tour and Michelle took us back to the visitor information centre and sent us all off with gifts of blueberry jam and blueberry tea to remember our visit by
My bike had been acting up off and on and I had been keeping an eye out on a leak coming from the front of the engine The noise from the shifter region was becoming louder but I wasnrsquot experiencing any power loss so I kept an ear out and we kept riding
Our next stop was at the Cheddar Cheese Museum in Saint-Prime where a sweet young man took us on a tour
He showed us the old-fashioned way cheddar cheese was made and then we got to tour the museum portion of the factory 4 generations of the family Perron have made cheddar cheese here
The museum has over 650 artifacts that involve the familyrsquos history in cheese making including the stamps and other machinery used in exporting the cheese
The Cheddar Cheese Museum offers interactive displays and hosts several workshops on the art of making cheddar Upstairs you can view the family home of the Perronrsquos and see all of the period specific furnishings
Along with guided tours you can also sample the various types of cheddar cheese which we did and oh my I have never tasted cheddar that was so smooth and rich
After thanking our young guide for the fabulous tour we headed off
We stopped at Tim Hortonrsquos for a coffee and sitting out on the curb in front of my bike I could see the leak was getting worse I was very concerned and asked if there was a shop nearby where I could at least check the oil level in my primary
Rejean talked to one of the local riders Denis AKA Tarte au Sucre (Sweet Pie) and he took us to Carl Tremblayrsquos shop Carl is a mechanic that many here swear by His rates are far cheaper than the dealerships and every rider in the region says hersquos a guru He took the primary apart and sure
enough discovered that the compensating sprocket was dead and the stator was leaking With parts ordered and Rejeanrsquos wife going to the Harley shop to pick them up Francine Lynne Rejean and Denis rode me to my hotel the Motel Chutes des Pegraveres in Dolbeau-Mistassini My gear and luggage was distributed over three of the four bikes
By the time we got in it was dark and everyone had to head home I enjoyed a wonderful steak for supper and then headed off to my beautiful room and after a boiling hot pounding shower I climbed into the queen-sized bed and with the sound of the falls lulling me to sleep
And thatrsquos where I will leave you until next weekhellipBelt Drive Betty

1 - Yoursquoll Become a Better DriverTherersquos no doubt that riding a motorcycle has its
benefits especially when it comes to driving a car Riding a motorcycle teaches you to look out for people who are trying to kill you yoursquoll see hazards sooner and yoursquoll end up with Ninja-like machine control So when it comes to driving yoursquoll put all that to work and be a cut above the rest Hopefully
2 - Everyone Wants To Talk To YouIt really doesnrsquot matter what kind of motorcycle
you ride yoursquoll find middle-aged men stare at you and your bike with a dreamy lust before giving you an unwanted compliment Chances are theyrsquoll have no idea what the bike is either
Choose a classic or even worse a modern classic and yoursquoll become a magnet for old men who have the knack of being able to have a conversation with you without you needing to add any input Yoursquoll reach for your helmet on more than one occasion but not be able to put in on and leave because theyrsquoll ask you a question when you try Yoursquoll be subjected to questions about your
bike that you donrsquot know the answer to or even care about
The conversation will go something like this Is that a Triumph I had a Triumph once (followed by 10 minutes of ldquoback in my day rdquo)
3 - When You Say Yoursquore A Biker This Is The First Image That
Comes To Peoplehellip
5 Things They Never Told You About Becoming A Bikerby Robert Whaley NW Ontario Motorcycling
You could be a nice guy you could have something that resembles a career you could do the occasional BBQ it doesnrsquot matter When you mention to anyone at a party that yoursquove got a motorcycle a picture of this guy will pop into their head Then as you explain that you donrsquot ride a cruiser and yoursquove got a sportsbike theyrsquoll just think yoursquore speaking Greek and will reevaluate you as some sort of nut job who tries to kill himself on the highways Itrsquos a no-win
4 - Bees and Other Flying Things Will Start To Scare You
Anything flying will scare you When yoursquore sitting around at a family BBQ and everyone starts going mental the moment a bee or a wasp arrives on the scene you sit there perfectly calm and wonder what all the fuss is about
However - when yoursquore on a bike itrsquos a different story There you are riding along on a nice sunny day with your visor up enjoying the countryside and the winding road in front of you
Then you spot it 50 metres away a large insect looks like its stopped going about its daily business and itrsquos homing in at you instead Before you can do anything about it it goes THHHHHWAP right on your cheek Close but luckily it didnrsquot get you in the eye Then you panic the little bastardrsquos still in your helmet You insert a clumsy leather-clad finger and try and flick whatever it is away but probably end up pissing it off even further Then you crank on the brakes and perform the worldrsquos fastest lid removal followed by a little bit of a flappy-armed dance
5 - You Canrsquot Figure Out Who To Wave ToWhen you get a motorcycle you become part of a
club Itrsquos a club no biker really talks about but yoursquore in it now and yoursquore not allowed to leave Ever When you first pass your test yoursquoll wave at anyone and everyone If yoursquore heading down a road and a dog looks at you the right way yoursquoll probably wave at him too
Unfortunately this will change There are no set rules as to how it will change but yoursquoll end up developing your own code Me I wave at everyone dogs too and donrsquot give a second thought to the riders that donrsquot wave back But thatrsquos just me Yoursquoll have to work out your own code
Breaking is one of the most important things that you will learn to do on a motorcycle When we first learn to ride we are taught techniques to protect ourselves from crashing such as breaking shifting and countersteering But generally the most effective way to avoid an accident is through proper use of the brakes
The rear brake in particular is probably one of the least understood controls on a motorcycle Many riders donrsquot use the rear brake at all claiming that it doesnrsquot actually aid in slowing down or stopping the bike and say that it locks up the rear tire when trying to use it In fact most experts agree that a balanced use of both the front and rear brake is the most effective way of slowing or stopping a motorcycle
The rear brake also plays a huge role in adding stability to the bike when maneuvering
Because of the weight distribution on a motorcycle the braking balance of stopping power between the front and rear is 70 on the front and 30 on the rear This should tell you that if you donrsquot use the rear brake at all you are loosing 30 of the potential stopping power on your bike This could become a critical factor if you find yourself in trouble and have to try
and avoid an accident
Why does the rear brake lock up Well once again it has to do with weight distribution When you find yourself in a braking situation and start applying the brakes the geometry of the bike changes (due partly to the suspension) and much of the total weight (bike + rider) is transferred to the front This allows the rider to apply much more front brake than rear brake (the 7030 ratio)
Learning the finer points of your bikersquos braking performance is the key to keeping your bike in control It is a good idea to explore those limits in a safe environment
Practice repeated stops in an abandoned parking lot and yoursquoll start to get a feel for the amount of
effort that triggers tire slippage or rear tire lock-up
Try stopping with your front brake only then rear only and then a combination of both Once you become more familiar with your bikersquos brakes the sensations of weight transfer will start to feel more apparent and familiar That way yoursquoll be much more aware of the limits of your bike and yoursquoll be much better prepared in stopping

CAV To Hold AGM During ATLANTICADE (Summerside PE)
ndash The relationship started off by accident back in 2007 in
Moncton during the inaugural Atlanticade eventldquoI saw these guys who were hanging around
together with CAV crests on their vests and didnrsquot really know who they wererdquo says Dale Hicks festival founder and chairman Hicks began to connect the dots on the final day when the closing parade ended at the local veteranrsquos health care center and the CAV riders were very engaged with the vets ldquoSo I starting asking ndash who are these guys and what does CAV stand forrdquo
That was over seven years ago and now the relationship between Atlanticade and the Canadian Army Veterans is as strong a bond as you will find anywhere in the world of motorcycle events
ldquoOnce we became aware of who the CAV group was and what they represented I said well this group reflects the best of what it means to be Canadian so we certainly wanted to build a relationship with themrdquo recalls Hicks
Since then CAV has played a significant role in some form or fashion at each Atlanticade event The festival now has a
ldquoSupport the Troopsrdquo activity incorporated into the schedule each year where CAV plays a lead role In addition CAV will also be found leading parades such as the Confederation Bridge Cruise and the Parade of Iron Horses
In fact in 2011 Hicks was surprised and honored to be presented with an
honorary membership into the CAV organization at the closing awards breakfast at the Algonquin Hotel in St Andrews
ldquoYeah they caught me off guard with that and I certainly was humbled and honored by to be presented the crest by Trapperrdquo says Hicks ldquoI donrsquot feel worthy of wearing the crest but I do sport it proudly at certain times during Atlanticaderdquo
The unique bond between the two organizations continues for the upcoming 8th annual festival being held in Summerside PEI from June 27th to

(Atlanticade chairman Dale Hicks had just presented Trapper Cane with the annual ldquoExperienced Rider Awardrdquo
when Cane turned the tables by presenting Hicks with his honorary CAV membership during the 2011 event)
July 1st Recenty CAV founder Paul (Trapper) Cane announced the grouprsquos annual general meeting will take place in Summerside in conjunction with Atlanticade
ldquoAtlanticade brings great energy to all riders and our CAV members certainly appreciate the extra efforts put forth by Dalersquos team to give us some profile at the eventrdquo says Cane ldquoNo doubt it has been a great relationship between the two organizations and we hope it continues well into the futurerdquo
For his part Hicks says that Atlanticade is very proud to be able to host the CAV ndash AGM as part of the 2014 festival ldquoWe always have a good turnout of CAV members at our event but this will mean an additional boost in participants from across the country We hope we can make it a little special for them and something they will remember years down the roadrdquo

and take a step up Pretty soon everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted offAnd the moral ishellip Life is going to shovel dirt on you all kinds of dirt The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up Each of our troubles is a steppingstone We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping never giving up Shake it off and take a step up

moto-foodieWith time off for good behavior the remainder
of my last afternoon in the Cream City was spent doing a random walkabout with camera in hand Milwaukee is nicknamed ldquoCream Cityrdquo but this has nothing to do with dairy The distinctive clay found on the western shore of Lake Michigan produces a creamy yellow brick when fired First used around 1830 these bricks became the primary building material used from the 1850s to 1880s and thus a cream-colored cityscape rather than a ubiquitous brick red arose
The best foodie experience was saved for last Chef David Swanson creates some of the best dishes in the city at Braise Located on Walkerrsquos Point in the shadow of the Allen-Bradley clock tower this restaurant is part of Braise Culinary School that evolved from Braise RSA (restaurant supported agriculture) David Swanson has been at the forefront of farm-to-table initiatives and his restaurant and culinary school exemplifies the ldquolocavorerdquo movement The menu depends upon the season and changes almost weekly My goal was to sample as many small plates as possible while On the floor of the Lakefront Brewery
Once you know about cream city brick it will be noticed almost everywhere in
Walking back to the Iron Horse Hotel with a full belly the Polish Moon shone brightly behind me This is the nickname for the second-largest four-faced clock in the world Placed in the 283-foot high tower of the Allen-Bradley (Rockwell Automation) headquarters each dial measures over 40 feet in diameter and the clock requires 346 kilowatts to operate Itrsquos a prominent Milwaukee landmark that I frequently used during the past three days when exploring Walkerrsquos Point [Polish Moon_9633 The second-largest four-faced tower clock in the world is nicknamed ldquoThe Polish Moonrdquo because Walkerrsquos Point district was home to the cityrsquos Polish population]
An Internet search shows there are1400 restaurants listed for Milwaukee but I experienced merely 15 plus checked out another five during my stay There are famous restaurants and neighborhood spots only locals know of Some are in historic properties others in non-descript storefronts and local bars often have amazing menus Ethnic German Polish and Mexican cuisine flourishes along with traditional American and fusion yet the most striking aspect is the widespread commitment to high quality locally sourced food [Moto-Foodie in Milwaukee Day 3 map on Google for more detail go to httpgooglmaps33Hma ]

Every now and again Hollywood takes a real-life story and does a remarkable job transforming what might be a heroic tale or an against all odds success story that leaves audiences captivated emotionally attached to some characters and highly
entertained Granted these types of movies donrsquot come along often but when they do people flock to the theatres in part I believe because there is something uplifting encouraging that comes from experiencing a ldquofeel goodrdquo true story
How often in life do we experience that kind of a rush when our heart-strings have been yanked by someone or some cause and we have followed our instinct to reach out a helping hand in one form or another
I have experienced motorcycle breakdowns where strangers would stop to help and in the course of conversation a friendship develops and the person doing the giving winds up leaving with the biggest pump It just feels good when we can make a difference Recently a total stranger covered the cost of my morning ldquofixrdquo as they paid for my Tim Hortonrsquos coffee Small move but it felt good for me and so in turn I want to do that for
somebody else So can we say that lsquogood worksrsquo or lsquomaking a differencersquo is contagious I think so
As a biker church pastor I get to hear first-hand about peoplersquos troubles and triumphs in life and one thing is for sure just as much as people like to talk about their trials and challenges they love to talk about the good things going on in their lives the happy times and frankly I see those people who take the time to enjoy what they have and make the effort to lift up others to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives just naturally attract others to themselves
In our ldquoOwnerrsquos Manualrdquo for life we read in Psalm 11824 ldquoThis is the day that the Lord has made let us rejoice and be glad in itrdquo
So there you have it be grateful for the day and be happy That will make a difference in the lives ofpeople around you

As we see in the conflicts that are brewing around this world of ours the power of the people to affect change is powerful
A small group of committed individuals can accomplish much
They can topple governments or back them up against a wall
The on highway motorcycle community in Canada is rapidly approaching 1 million registered motorcycles
Every weekend you will see thousands of us gathered at various events across our respective provinces and territories always riding and working for charities that mean something to us that hit
home for usVery seldom however do you see this community
rally around itself and its own issues outside of riders we lovecare about needing help
As we get prepared for the 2014 riding season we as riders are going to face a variety of issues Some will affect all of us other issues will only affect certain riders
Insurance is an issue that affects us all as are the condition of the highways in this country So is distracted driving
As a rider who has ridden across this great land of ours I can tell you road maintenance is also an issue in the majority of regions
Some of us will experience police harassment others will ride uninterrupted
Some of us will experience headaches in communities with Motorcycle Only Noise Bylaws others will never be detained or bothered
Some of us will have great experiences at dealerships and others not so much
Some of us will experience discrimination and be turned away from establishments because of how we dress and what we ride others will experience none of that
This summer when you experience issues do something about it
Remember the POWER OF THE PEOPLEDocument it Photos videos and written
accounts of the situations you encounterThen if you live in a provinceterritory with a
Riders Rights Organization like BCCOM ABATE BRO Coalition of Manitoba Motorcycle Groups
RAGE or the newly formed Atlantic Motorcycle Coalition get that information into them so that they have something concrete to work with
They canrsquot help you or anyone else unless YOU give them something to work with
If you are in a province where there is no collective to represent your voice like in Alberta NWT YT - the only three regions without a provincialterritorial lobbying voice then yoursquoll really want to document things well especially if it involves court and lawyers If it is about roadways and other concerns you can at least present your MLA with the information
Every rider who experiences something of a discomforting nature should stand up and say something do something so that the others who come after you might not have to experience the same thing
If you arenrsquot a member of your local riders rights coalition consider becoming one
Our voice counts be it as an individual taxpayer or in a collective with many voices united but they only count when the persons we are discussing our
situation with can actually do something about itWhining and not taking the right actions do
nothing to alleviate problems - so this summer get a camera for your motorcycle or helmet have a note pad and a pen in a tool pouch or jacket pocket and remember the information you take down and share with the right people will do some good if not today somewhere down the road
Thatrsquos whatrsquos on my mind today what are your thoughts on the topic of the Power of the People
Have a great day and if you are one of the lucky ones who is riding today please remember to ride like everyone around you is blind and cannot see you

Art amp The Motorcycle My Name Milton BeginMake Harley DavidsonYear 1993Title ldquoFresh Paint n Old LeatherrdquoArtist Jeremy Ferguson
The tragedy of the space shuttle Challenger is what gave me the idea of the paint scheme I knew I wanted to keep the blue color on the bike After all I as well as the people who know me have always referred to the bike as Olrsquo Blue Flames and skulls have been well overdone so it came to me scorched paint and steel Must have been what the shuttle was going thru for that split second in the early stage of re-entry
The bike was shipped out of Milwaukee in 1993 I rode it to Milwaukee in 2003 for the 100th Anniversary Ride Home Celebration for Harley Davidson Plans were made to ride it home again in 2013 for the 110th Anniversary Fresh paint was in order Hence the name Fresh Paint n Old Leather I have kept and still ride with the same leather for all too many years Although you canrsquot see many of the details in the picture Jeremy scratched in the dates after it was painted onto the bottom of the front fender It looks awesome because Jeremy is a talented individual
If I am able I will ride home again in 2023 The bike will undoubtedly make it

Light travels faster than sound This is why some people appear
No idea quite Where you are exactly nor do you know where yet you need to be
You feel as tossed as tumultuously as leaves in the wind
Your thoughts are as
turbulent amp dangerous as the moods of a teenagerYou are almost certain you are going in an
aimless direction with your eyes closed but your hands refuse to relinquish their grips
There is a time when the mind gleefully spins events amp memories into painful brutal tellings amp the tears dry upon your cheeks as fast as the wind can touch them leaving no trace
This is the time when intelligent rationale simply fails amp pure raw emotion takes over
Coherent thought is impossibleSpeech is non-existentThe primal need to fight- flee or fuck has kicked
into overdrive amp so with the flick of a thumb you opt for the fastest although not necessarily Wisest course of action amp race away from your demons at breakneck speed almost daring them to catch you
And the racechase is onMile after mile flashes past beneath you amp you
handle the bike as easily as breathing There are times when you ldquobecome onerdquo with it amp this is surely that time
It is pure sensation the adrenalin rush of exhilaration that isnrsquot noticed
The passage of time on a stopwatch held by the hands of the Gods
Death might ride a pale horse but you have a Harley
And yet at some point there is the indescribable

On the sixth day God turned to Archangel Gabriel and said Today
I am going to create a land called Canada It will be a land of outstanding natural beauty It shall have tall majestic mountains full of mountain goats and eagles beautiful sparkling lakes bountiful with bass and trout forests full of elk and moose high cliffs over-looking sandy beaches with an abundance of sea life and rivers stocked with salmon
God continued
I shall make the land rich in resources so as to make the inhabitants prosper I shall call these inhabitants Canadians and they shall be known as the most friendly people on the earth
But Lord asked Gabriel dont you think you are being too generous to these Canadians
Not really replied GodJust wait and see the winters I am going to give

While the boy and his father were watching with amazement a fat old lady in a wheel chair rolled up to the moving walls and pressed a button The walls opened and the lady rolled between them into a small room The walls closed and the boy and his father watched the small circular numbers above the walls light up sequentially They continued to watch until it reached the last number and then the numbers began to light in the reverse order Then the walls opened up again and a gorgeous voluptuous 24-year-old blonde woman stepped out The father not taking his eyes off the young woman said quietly to his son

The Touch of a healerAn Irishman in a wheelchair entered a restaurant
one afternoon and asked the waitress for a cup of coffee The Irishman looked across the restaurant and asked Is that Jesus sitting over there The waitress nodded yes so the Irishman told her to give Jesus a cup of coffee on him
The next patron to come in was an Englishman with a hunched back He shuffled over to a booth painfully sat down and asked for a cup of hot tea He also glanced across the restaurant and asked Is that Jesus over there The waitress nodded so the Englishman said to give Jesus a cup of hot tea my treat
The third patron to come into the restaurant was a Redneck on crutches He hobbled over to a booth sat down and hollered Hey there sweet thang Hows about gettin me a cold glass of Coke He too looked across the restaurant and asked Is that
Gods boy over there The waitress once again nodded that it was so the Redneck said to give Jesus a cold glass of Coke on my bill
As Jesus got up to leave he passed by the Irishman touched him and said For your kindness you are healed The Irishman felt the strength come back to his legs got up and danced a jig right out the door
Jesus also passed by the Englishman touched him and said For your kindness you are healed The Englishman felt his back straightening up and he raised his hands praised the Lord and did a series of back flips out the door
Then Jesus walked up to the Redneck
The Redneck jumped up and yelled ldquoDonrsquot touch me Irsquom drawinrsquo disabilityrdquo
The most important thing for all motorcycle riders and vehicle drivers in Saskatchewan right now is standing-up and getting YOUR voice heardhellipand COUNTED
When it comes to the Saskatchewan Rate Review process each and every voice matters no matter how big no matter how small Every voice every opinion matters Use this process to make YOUR VOICE COUNT BEFORE April 28 2014 After thathellipit is too late
RAGE is here to continue what we started so successfully last year To continue to lobby SGI and the Provincial Government to put real and long-term public policy forward to end the continuous cycle of rate increases being implemented to
cover up escalating high-risk driving behaviour in Saskatchewan In a nutshell to stop just raising rates and not much else
If you parked a vehicle on the street downtown (any type of vehicle) and just left it there till it caused an accident How long would it take for that vehicle to be at-fault for causing one That is if it wasnrsquot stolen or vandalized first
Now if a person comes along gets into that same vehicle and drives off looking at their cellphone and texting How long
If it is a motorcycle and a person who just wrote their learners with zero experience (other than maybe a ride around the block) comes along gets on and rides off into traffic How long
The great thing about what we are putting forward is that it addresses ALL driver behavior Not vehicles but those who drive them ALL of us
You as a motorcycle and vehicle owner need to be speaking up this yearhellipin Saskatchewan you are more than likely both Making sure YOUR voice
Stand Up and Be Counted

RAGE Dare to Know

The BodyTalk Systemwith Practitioner Bev Groot
To book an appointment or find out more about the BodyTalk System call
gets counted To stop the endless cycle of just raising rates with not much else
This will allow RAGE to have a strong voice when it comes to the Personal Injury Insurance Review happening later this year Remember YOUR ldquoa-la-carterdquo recommendation has been approved by government
To continue to fight for mandatory safety training (Yes RAGE has always wanted this to be mandatory)
To continue to work with SGI on the things they are already implementing as a result of RAGE and ALL YOUR VOICES
YOUR VOICEno matter what your messageMATTERS to RAGE
Without all YOUR voicesindividuallyeach counting as 1UNITED into manyhellipSGI will simply not listen
Since the 1980rsquos and up until last yearvery few voices were raised to be counted during the Rate Review Process SGI pretty much did what they wantedthen last year BAM
For years SGI shut out anyone any group many efforts by the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel and the Provincial Government for any changeswhyNO UNITED VOICES Yes they brought in the 3 year MGDL in 2011 However they didnrsquot work with the groups involved past initial consultations SGI came to their own conclusions (no one could agree) and implemented what they
wanted SGI then stopped returning calls and continued to increase rates in 2012 and 2013
Even the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel has had difficulty getting the information they need from SGI to make informed decisions
Is it little wonder that the Minister Responsible for SGI felt she didnrsquot have to listen to the ldquosuggestionrdquo of the Rate Review Panel After all they never really had in previous years
Hammering us with another 15 increase could have been meant to knock us off our motorcycles and give up After all that hard workhellipand yet another increase Irsquom betting they expected us to cry in our coffee about how unfair they are about how they just do want they want anyway how we should just privatize and then do nothing more than that
Now that might have workedhellipin the past That is until last year the first time since the 1980rsquos when RAGE worked hard to organize YOUR voices YOU each used your own voices You each counted Then RAGE presented a proposal that took EACH ONE and MADE THEM COUNT as a UNITED VOICE
Then we did the unthinkablehellipWE STAYED We werenrsquot just there for 3 meetings WE
were 100 ALL INhellipFOR YOU To make sure YOUR VOICES continued to count RAGE continued to work with SGI on the wording for the recommendations put forward providing information for awareness sharing the ldquoCount Your Motorcyclerdquo game and much more
When it comes right down to it YOUR opinions and comments should matter to YOU IT does not matter if you donrsquot agree with the overall message of RAGE or your local riding club group
association coffee groupwhatever WHAT MATTERSis YOU getting YOUR VOICE
heard YOU canrsquot leave it up to everyone else You canrsquot assume anyone else is going to do this for YOU WE ALL MUST FIGHT
The worst thing you can do is nothing THAT is even worse than complaining and doing nothing Complaincomplain to your hearts contentto the Sask Rate Review Panel
THEN go have coffeeIf you canrsquot make it to the meeting in person
please at the very least contact the Rate Review Panel with YOUR voice
Each of our own voices count as 1 in this processjust as the voice of RAGE only counts as 1 We know SGI only listens when there are MANY following a UNITED theme
YOU can get YOUR voice heardand COUNTEDby submitting your comments regarding the application by April 28 2014 using any of the following methods

After a magnificent breakfast I started loading up my bike and it wasnrsquot long before the gang arrived to come take me sightseeing
Our first stop of the day after topping up our tanks was at the look out of Lac Saint Jean
From here you truly get a sense of how immense this lake is
We took some time to admire the view and chat about the plans for the rest of the day
Our next stop was to be the Camp Musical a purely French speaking musical camp for students to come and immerse themselves in the culture of the region and the music that is their passion
The camp has numerous housing units and the most incredible concert hall The Raymond Tremblay concert hall has 320 seats 2 piano rooms a bistro terrace and exhibition hall The Egyptian goddess Hathor is symbolized here and she represents happiness joy and music
The acoustics even when you are just speaking
well stunning would be the word to describe the sound quality
Everything about this 40-year-old institute screams creativity We went up to the gazebo on the observation deck and took in the panorama Breathtakingly beautiful you can see why this region inspires music and lyrics
After our tour of the camp was done we headed out towards the Village Historique Val-Jalbert Canadarsquos BEST preserved Ghost Town I couldnrsquot wait
The ride from the Camp Musical to Val-Jalbert which is just northwest of Chambord took about 30 minutes It was a wee bit overcast but the temperature was perfect for riding
When we arrived at Val-Jalbert we headed into the gorgeous visitor information centre and were assigned a tour guide named Michelle Pelletier Michelle turned out to be an amazing tour guide
She spoke in both French and English easily and made all of us feel so welcome

Saturday May 31st 2014 830 am Rain date June 1st rain or shine
We got in an electric cart and began our tour with Michelle telling us about the history of this town and why it is such a significant tourism and historical attraction
You see this town was the dream of one man Damase Jalbert He was the founder of the Ouiatchouan Pulp Company that built a pulp mill
here The town he founded for his employees started out as Saint-Georges-de-Ouiatchouan named for the river and the falls that powered the mill The name was changed to Val-Jalbert in 1913 in honor of the man whose dream it was
Damase wanted to build the best company town and provide his employees with a rarified quality of living
He died suddenly three years after opening the mill The mill faced a cash shortage and was bought by American shareholders in 1904 In 1909 the Chicoutimi Pulp Company bought it
From 1909 to 1922 the village flourished and was the envy of many surrounding communities
The company town offered employees electricity and running water in their homes a good 25 years before anyone else in Quebec had power
In 1923 the demand for mechanical pulp began to fall and by 1924 most of the workers had been laid off
On August 13th 1927 all operations ceased and over the next few years the village became abandoned
In 1942 the government took the property back for non-payment of taxes and in 1970 Val-Jalbert had new life breathed into it as a tourist attraction In recent years the government of Quebec has spent 19+ million dollars to upgrade and improve the visitors information centre put in a glass observation deck and a whole host of other improvements
Val-Jalbert must have been the most amazing town in the region in its day because this place is utterly amazing today The Quebec government has spent a lot of money and time restoring this
place to preserve the history and they have done an incredible job
Our first stop on the tour was the convent school where we met ldquoMother Superiorrdquo who took us through the school and answered our questions She was stern but I think there was a glint of mischief in her eyes as she ldquodisciplinedrdquo us on proper etiquette
There was the most amazing art display in
one room and in another the historical timeline of the residents of Val-Jalbert to take in The antiques and furnishings truly made you feel you were stuck in a time warp
After touring the school we headed towards the post office The ldquopostmistressrdquo was this chatty little gal that had us peeing ourselves we were laughing so hard It was pretty cool to see the old stamps and the various bits of equipment of the day
We walked up the street to take a tour of the restored duplexes that line the main street You have to see these places to truly appreciate them Imagine 1910 and you can flip a switch and have lights turn a tap and have water flush a toilet and not have to walk to the outhouse
These company houses were so well built and the people who lived here were fiercely loyal to the company that treated them so well
From the duplexes we went to the general store where we ran into the ldquoMayorrdquo the only person in town to have a car The general store offers up everything a visitor could need plus acts as a museum with lots of interesting period pieces on display
Michelle had gotten keys to show us the duplexes that have been upgraded and make up the 4 star accommodations offered here
We walked across the street and were taken to view to the most amazing hotel rooms
Rustic and yet modern these rooms are spacious well appointed and every one of them has unique little shadow boxes filled with antiques
All of the modern appliances Internet boxes and TV are all hidden in closets so that they are not visible It makes for a very appealing deacutecor
Although the rooms appear to only have one bed in the matter of a few moments Michelle had the
couch taken apart and the bed folded down out of the wall for a second bed
The bathrooms are absolute marvels with big tubs and glass showers
The parking for the hotel rooms is hidden behind a row of trees so that there is no real visual of anything modern on the face of things
From the hotel rooms we got back in the electric cart and headed towards the ldquoruinsrdquo Although many of the duplexes have been restored Michelle explained to us that the style of construction for the company houses had been changed and that
the newer houses had collapsed on themselves Some of the buildings are slated for restoration but many are too far-gone The streets they line are preserved so that one can walk by the ruins and get a feel for how large this town really was and how well laid out it was
Our next stop was the Mill Impressive is a good word to describe this place We had our lunch in the Old Mill Restaurant The food served here complimented the
atmosphere ndash IMPECCABLEThe chef Carl Murray has a great reputation that
he totally lives up toThe service
the food the atmosphere and the company were all top drawer
After our fabulous meal it was time to head to the tram and go experience the waterfalls
The ride up to the top gives you the most magnificent view of the region The Ouiatchouan Falls are some 65 feet higher than the Niagara Falls
and the power of them is palpable The rushing water is almost deafening as you walk out on to the glass observation deck
From the falls we walked down to the mill again and took in the most impressive interactive show I have ever experienced In the underbelly of the once abandoned mill amongst all of the monster gearing and shafts the lights go dim you feel the mist in the air and all of a sudden the walls become alive with characters from the original town and they take you through the historical timeline of the village and its people
It is absolutely captivating you become totally involved in the lives and the hardship of the villagers
The show signaled the end of our tour and Michelle took us back to the visitor information centre and sent us all off with gifts of blueberry jam and blueberry tea to remember our visit by
My bike had been acting up off and on and I had been keeping an eye out on a leak coming from the front of the engine The noise from the shifter region was becoming louder but I wasnrsquot experiencing any power loss so I kept an ear out and we kept riding
Our next stop was at the Cheddar Cheese Museum in Saint-Prime where a sweet young man took us on a tour
He showed us the old-fashioned way cheddar cheese was made and then we got to tour the museum portion of the factory 4 generations of the family Perron have made cheddar cheese here
The museum has over 650 artifacts that involve the familyrsquos history in cheese making including the stamps and other machinery used in exporting the cheese
The Cheddar Cheese Museum offers interactive displays and hosts several workshops on the art of making cheddar Upstairs you can view the family home of the Perronrsquos and see all of the period specific furnishings
Along with guided tours you can also sample the various types of cheddar cheese which we did and oh my I have never tasted cheddar that was so smooth and rich
After thanking our young guide for the fabulous tour we headed off
We stopped at Tim Hortonrsquos for a coffee and sitting out on the curb in front of my bike I could see the leak was getting worse I was very concerned and asked if there was a shop nearby where I could at least check the oil level in my primary
Rejean talked to one of the local riders Denis AKA Tarte au Sucre (Sweet Pie) and he took us to Carl Tremblayrsquos shop Carl is a mechanic that many here swear by His rates are far cheaper than the dealerships and every rider in the region says hersquos a guru He took the primary apart and sure
enough discovered that the compensating sprocket was dead and the stator was leaking With parts ordered and Rejeanrsquos wife going to the Harley shop to pick them up Francine Lynne Rejean and Denis rode me to my hotel the Motel Chutes des Pegraveres in Dolbeau-Mistassini My gear and luggage was distributed over three of the four bikes
By the time we got in it was dark and everyone had to head home I enjoyed a wonderful steak for supper and then headed off to my beautiful room and after a boiling hot pounding shower I climbed into the queen-sized bed and with the sound of the falls lulling me to sleep
And thatrsquos where I will leave you until next weekhellipBelt Drive Betty

1 - Yoursquoll Become a Better DriverTherersquos no doubt that riding a motorcycle has its
benefits especially when it comes to driving a car Riding a motorcycle teaches you to look out for people who are trying to kill you yoursquoll see hazards sooner and yoursquoll end up with Ninja-like machine control So when it comes to driving yoursquoll put all that to work and be a cut above the rest Hopefully
2 - Everyone Wants To Talk To YouIt really doesnrsquot matter what kind of motorcycle
you ride yoursquoll find middle-aged men stare at you and your bike with a dreamy lust before giving you an unwanted compliment Chances are theyrsquoll have no idea what the bike is either
Choose a classic or even worse a modern classic and yoursquoll become a magnet for old men who have the knack of being able to have a conversation with you without you needing to add any input Yoursquoll reach for your helmet on more than one occasion but not be able to put in on and leave because theyrsquoll ask you a question when you try Yoursquoll be subjected to questions about your
bike that you donrsquot know the answer to or even care about
The conversation will go something like this Is that a Triumph I had a Triumph once (followed by 10 minutes of ldquoback in my day rdquo)
3 - When You Say Yoursquore A Biker This Is The First Image That
Comes To Peoplehellip
5 Things They Never Told You About Becoming A Bikerby Robert Whaley NW Ontario Motorcycling
You could be a nice guy you could have something that resembles a career you could do the occasional BBQ it doesnrsquot matter When you mention to anyone at a party that yoursquove got a motorcycle a picture of this guy will pop into their head Then as you explain that you donrsquot ride a cruiser and yoursquove got a sportsbike theyrsquoll just think yoursquore speaking Greek and will reevaluate you as some sort of nut job who tries to kill himself on the highways Itrsquos a no-win
4 - Bees and Other Flying Things Will Start To Scare You
Anything flying will scare you When yoursquore sitting around at a family BBQ and everyone starts going mental the moment a bee or a wasp arrives on the scene you sit there perfectly calm and wonder what all the fuss is about
However - when yoursquore on a bike itrsquos a different story There you are riding along on a nice sunny day with your visor up enjoying the countryside and the winding road in front of you
Then you spot it 50 metres away a large insect looks like its stopped going about its daily business and itrsquos homing in at you instead Before you can do anything about it it goes THHHHHWAP right on your cheek Close but luckily it didnrsquot get you in the eye Then you panic the little bastardrsquos still in your helmet You insert a clumsy leather-clad finger and try and flick whatever it is away but probably end up pissing it off even further Then you crank on the brakes and perform the worldrsquos fastest lid removal followed by a little bit of a flappy-armed dance
5 - You Canrsquot Figure Out Who To Wave ToWhen you get a motorcycle you become part of a
club Itrsquos a club no biker really talks about but yoursquore in it now and yoursquore not allowed to leave Ever When you first pass your test yoursquoll wave at anyone and everyone If yoursquore heading down a road and a dog looks at you the right way yoursquoll probably wave at him too
Unfortunately this will change There are no set rules as to how it will change but yoursquoll end up developing your own code Me I wave at everyone dogs too and donrsquot give a second thought to the riders that donrsquot wave back But thatrsquos just me Yoursquoll have to work out your own code
Breaking is one of the most important things that you will learn to do on a motorcycle When we first learn to ride we are taught techniques to protect ourselves from crashing such as breaking shifting and countersteering But generally the most effective way to avoid an accident is through proper use of the brakes
The rear brake in particular is probably one of the least understood controls on a motorcycle Many riders donrsquot use the rear brake at all claiming that it doesnrsquot actually aid in slowing down or stopping the bike and say that it locks up the rear tire when trying to use it In fact most experts agree that a balanced use of both the front and rear brake is the most effective way of slowing or stopping a motorcycle
The rear brake also plays a huge role in adding stability to the bike when maneuvering
Because of the weight distribution on a motorcycle the braking balance of stopping power between the front and rear is 70 on the front and 30 on the rear This should tell you that if you donrsquot use the rear brake at all you are loosing 30 of the potential stopping power on your bike This could become a critical factor if you find yourself in trouble and have to try
and avoid an accident
Why does the rear brake lock up Well once again it has to do with weight distribution When you find yourself in a braking situation and start applying the brakes the geometry of the bike changes (due partly to the suspension) and much of the total weight (bike + rider) is transferred to the front This allows the rider to apply much more front brake than rear brake (the 7030 ratio)
Learning the finer points of your bikersquos braking performance is the key to keeping your bike in control It is a good idea to explore those limits in a safe environment
Practice repeated stops in an abandoned parking lot and yoursquoll start to get a feel for the amount of
effort that triggers tire slippage or rear tire lock-up
Try stopping with your front brake only then rear only and then a combination of both Once you become more familiar with your bikersquos brakes the sensations of weight transfer will start to feel more apparent and familiar That way yoursquoll be much more aware of the limits of your bike and yoursquoll be much better prepared in stopping

CAV To Hold AGM During ATLANTICADE (Summerside PE)
ndash The relationship started off by accident back in 2007 in
Moncton during the inaugural Atlanticade eventldquoI saw these guys who were hanging around
together with CAV crests on their vests and didnrsquot really know who they wererdquo says Dale Hicks festival founder and chairman Hicks began to connect the dots on the final day when the closing parade ended at the local veteranrsquos health care center and the CAV riders were very engaged with the vets ldquoSo I starting asking ndash who are these guys and what does CAV stand forrdquo
That was over seven years ago and now the relationship between Atlanticade and the Canadian Army Veterans is as strong a bond as you will find anywhere in the world of motorcycle events
ldquoOnce we became aware of who the CAV group was and what they represented I said well this group reflects the best of what it means to be Canadian so we certainly wanted to build a relationship with themrdquo recalls Hicks
Since then CAV has played a significant role in some form or fashion at each Atlanticade event The festival now has a
ldquoSupport the Troopsrdquo activity incorporated into the schedule each year where CAV plays a lead role In addition CAV will also be found leading parades such as the Confederation Bridge Cruise and the Parade of Iron Horses
In fact in 2011 Hicks was surprised and honored to be presented with an
honorary membership into the CAV organization at the closing awards breakfast at the Algonquin Hotel in St Andrews
ldquoYeah they caught me off guard with that and I certainly was humbled and honored by to be presented the crest by Trapperrdquo says Hicks ldquoI donrsquot feel worthy of wearing the crest but I do sport it proudly at certain times during Atlanticaderdquo
The unique bond between the two organizations continues for the upcoming 8th annual festival being held in Summerside PEI from June 27th to

(Atlanticade chairman Dale Hicks had just presented Trapper Cane with the annual ldquoExperienced Rider Awardrdquo
when Cane turned the tables by presenting Hicks with his honorary CAV membership during the 2011 event)
July 1st Recenty CAV founder Paul (Trapper) Cane announced the grouprsquos annual general meeting will take place in Summerside in conjunction with Atlanticade
ldquoAtlanticade brings great energy to all riders and our CAV members certainly appreciate the extra efforts put forth by Dalersquos team to give us some profile at the eventrdquo says Cane ldquoNo doubt it has been a great relationship between the two organizations and we hope it continues well into the futurerdquo
For his part Hicks says that Atlanticade is very proud to be able to host the CAV ndash AGM as part of the 2014 festival ldquoWe always have a good turnout of CAV members at our event but this will mean an additional boost in participants from across the country We hope we can make it a little special for them and something they will remember years down the roadrdquo

and take a step up Pretty soon everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted offAnd the moral ishellip Life is going to shovel dirt on you all kinds of dirt The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up Each of our troubles is a steppingstone We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping never giving up Shake it off and take a step up

rare opportunity to view the sculpture and stained glass in Dr Eckhart Grohmannrsquos private office and museum director James Kieselburg explained their relationship to the exhibited artworks I would have been content spending the entire afternoon in this museum
A quick stroll was taken through the Pfister Hotel (424 E Wisconsin Ave) a four-diamond property that contains the largest collection of Victorian paintings of any hotel in the world and around the block past Dickrsquos Pizza amp Pleasure There were a number of tantalizing places where we could have had lunch but the best burgers in the city were to be found on the north side of the Memomonee River
Sobelmanrsquos Pub amp Grill is located in one of the cityrsquos original Schlitz taverns Despite being sandwiched between Interstate 794 and the industries along the Memomonee River the joint was doing a brisk lunch-hour business It was difficult making a choice from the burger selection but I finally ordered The Bomb Black Angus pattymdashfresh not frozenmdashwith bacon fried onions
mushrooms and blue cheese in a bun that is baked locally exclusively for Sobelmanrsquos Irsquom usually not a fan of burgers but if lived in Milwaukee Irsquod come here at least once a week
Lakefront Brewery offers one of the best beer tours yoursquoll find in a city thatrsquos renown for them so we headed back up the Milwaukee River It was a home brewing competition between two brothers that resulted in the founding of the company in 1987 Success required more space and in 1998 they purchased the former power plant of the Milwaukee Electric Railway and Light Company for a dollar They produced the first certified organic beer in the nation and the first gluten-free beer to receive USDA labeling Their list of top awards in competitions around the world even head-to-
head against European and Australian brews is impressive Eight bucks buys five 6-oz cups of brew to savor in the beer hall and during the entertaining tour They must have run out of small cups because what I ended up with seemed more like a half-pint

moto-foodieWith time off for good behavior the remainder
of my last afternoon in the Cream City was spent doing a random walkabout with camera in hand Milwaukee is nicknamed ldquoCream Cityrdquo but this has nothing to do with dairy The distinctive clay found on the western shore of Lake Michigan produces a creamy yellow brick when fired First used around 1830 these bricks became the primary building material used from the 1850s to 1880s and thus a cream-colored cityscape rather than a ubiquitous brick red arose
The best foodie experience was saved for last Chef David Swanson creates some of the best dishes in the city at Braise Located on Walkerrsquos Point in the shadow of the Allen-Bradley clock tower this restaurant is part of Braise Culinary School that evolved from Braise RSA (restaurant supported agriculture) David Swanson has been at the forefront of farm-to-table initiatives and his restaurant and culinary school exemplifies the ldquolocavorerdquo movement The menu depends upon the season and changes almost weekly My goal was to sample as many small plates as possible while On the floor of the Lakefront Brewery
Once you know about cream city brick it will be noticed almost everywhere in
Walking back to the Iron Horse Hotel with a full belly the Polish Moon shone brightly behind me This is the nickname for the second-largest four-faced clock in the world Placed in the 283-foot high tower of the Allen-Bradley (Rockwell Automation) headquarters each dial measures over 40 feet in diameter and the clock requires 346 kilowatts to operate Itrsquos a prominent Milwaukee landmark that I frequently used during the past three days when exploring Walkerrsquos Point [Polish Moon_9633 The second-largest four-faced tower clock in the world is nicknamed ldquoThe Polish Moonrdquo because Walkerrsquos Point district was home to the cityrsquos Polish population]
An Internet search shows there are1400 restaurants listed for Milwaukee but I experienced merely 15 plus checked out another five during my stay There are famous restaurants and neighborhood spots only locals know of Some are in historic properties others in non-descript storefronts and local bars often have amazing menus Ethnic German Polish and Mexican cuisine flourishes along with traditional American and fusion yet the most striking aspect is the widespread commitment to high quality locally sourced food [Moto-Foodie in Milwaukee Day 3 map on Google for more detail go to httpgooglmaps33Hma ]

Every now and again Hollywood takes a real-life story and does a remarkable job transforming what might be a heroic tale or an against all odds success story that leaves audiences captivated emotionally attached to some characters and highly
entertained Granted these types of movies donrsquot come along often but when they do people flock to the theatres in part I believe because there is something uplifting encouraging that comes from experiencing a ldquofeel goodrdquo true story
How often in life do we experience that kind of a rush when our heart-strings have been yanked by someone or some cause and we have followed our instinct to reach out a helping hand in one form or another
I have experienced motorcycle breakdowns where strangers would stop to help and in the course of conversation a friendship develops and the person doing the giving winds up leaving with the biggest pump It just feels good when we can make a difference Recently a total stranger covered the cost of my morning ldquofixrdquo as they paid for my Tim Hortonrsquos coffee Small move but it felt good for me and so in turn I want to do that for
somebody else So can we say that lsquogood worksrsquo or lsquomaking a differencersquo is contagious I think so
As a biker church pastor I get to hear first-hand about peoplersquos troubles and triumphs in life and one thing is for sure just as much as people like to talk about their trials and challenges they love to talk about the good things going on in their lives the happy times and frankly I see those people who take the time to enjoy what they have and make the effort to lift up others to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives just naturally attract others to themselves
In our ldquoOwnerrsquos Manualrdquo for life we read in Psalm 11824 ldquoThis is the day that the Lord has made let us rejoice and be glad in itrdquo
So there you have it be grateful for the day and be happy That will make a difference in the lives ofpeople around you

As we see in the conflicts that are brewing around this world of ours the power of the people to affect change is powerful
A small group of committed individuals can accomplish much
They can topple governments or back them up against a wall
The on highway motorcycle community in Canada is rapidly approaching 1 million registered motorcycles
Every weekend you will see thousands of us gathered at various events across our respective provinces and territories always riding and working for charities that mean something to us that hit
home for usVery seldom however do you see this community
rally around itself and its own issues outside of riders we lovecare about needing help
As we get prepared for the 2014 riding season we as riders are going to face a variety of issues Some will affect all of us other issues will only affect certain riders
Insurance is an issue that affects us all as are the condition of the highways in this country So is distracted driving
As a rider who has ridden across this great land of ours I can tell you road maintenance is also an issue in the majority of regions
Some of us will experience police harassment others will ride uninterrupted
Some of us will experience headaches in communities with Motorcycle Only Noise Bylaws others will never be detained or bothered
Some of us will have great experiences at dealerships and others not so much
Some of us will experience discrimination and be turned away from establishments because of how we dress and what we ride others will experience none of that
This summer when you experience issues do something about it
Remember the POWER OF THE PEOPLEDocument it Photos videos and written
accounts of the situations you encounterThen if you live in a provinceterritory with a
Riders Rights Organization like BCCOM ABATE BRO Coalition of Manitoba Motorcycle Groups
RAGE or the newly formed Atlantic Motorcycle Coalition get that information into them so that they have something concrete to work with
They canrsquot help you or anyone else unless YOU give them something to work with
If you are in a province where there is no collective to represent your voice like in Alberta NWT YT - the only three regions without a provincialterritorial lobbying voice then yoursquoll really want to document things well especially if it involves court and lawyers If it is about roadways and other concerns you can at least present your MLA with the information
Every rider who experiences something of a discomforting nature should stand up and say something do something so that the others who come after you might not have to experience the same thing
If you arenrsquot a member of your local riders rights coalition consider becoming one
Our voice counts be it as an individual taxpayer or in a collective with many voices united but they only count when the persons we are discussing our
situation with can actually do something about itWhining and not taking the right actions do
nothing to alleviate problems - so this summer get a camera for your motorcycle or helmet have a note pad and a pen in a tool pouch or jacket pocket and remember the information you take down and share with the right people will do some good if not today somewhere down the road
Thatrsquos whatrsquos on my mind today what are your thoughts on the topic of the Power of the People
Have a great day and if you are one of the lucky ones who is riding today please remember to ride like everyone around you is blind and cannot see you
Until next week I am your editor Belt Drive Betty

Art amp The Motorcycle My Name Milton BeginMake Harley DavidsonYear 1993Title ldquoFresh Paint n Old LeatherrdquoArtist Jeremy Ferguson
The tragedy of the space shuttle Challenger is what gave me the idea of the paint scheme I knew I wanted to keep the blue color on the bike After all I as well as the people who know me have always referred to the bike as Olrsquo Blue Flames and skulls have been well overdone so it came to me scorched paint and steel Must have been what the shuttle was going thru for that split second in the early stage of re-entry
The bike was shipped out of Milwaukee in 1993 I rode it to Milwaukee in 2003 for the 100th Anniversary Ride Home Celebration for Harley Davidson Plans were made to ride it home again in 2013 for the 110th Anniversary Fresh paint was in order Hence the name Fresh Paint n Old Leather I have kept and still ride with the same leather for all too many years Although you canrsquot see many of the details in the picture Jeremy scratched in the dates after it was painted onto the bottom of the front fender It looks awesome because Jeremy is a talented individual
If I am able I will ride home again in 2023 The bike will undoubtedly make it

Light travels faster than sound This is why some people appear
No idea quite Where you are exactly nor do you know where yet you need to be
You feel as tossed as tumultuously as leaves in the wind
Your thoughts are as
turbulent amp dangerous as the moods of a teenagerYou are almost certain you are going in an
aimless direction with your eyes closed but your hands refuse to relinquish their grips
There is a time when the mind gleefully spins events amp memories into painful brutal tellings amp the tears dry upon your cheeks as fast as the wind can touch them leaving no trace
This is the time when intelligent rationale simply fails amp pure raw emotion takes over
Coherent thought is impossibleSpeech is non-existentThe primal need to fight- flee or fuck has kicked
into overdrive amp so with the flick of a thumb you opt for the fastest although not necessarily Wisest course of action amp race away from your demons at breakneck speed almost daring them to catch you
And the racechase is onMile after mile flashes past beneath you amp you
handle the bike as easily as breathing There are times when you ldquobecome onerdquo with it amp this is surely that time
It is pure sensation the adrenalin rush of exhilaration that isnrsquot noticed
The passage of time on a stopwatch held by the hands of the Gods
Death might ride a pale horse but you have a Harley
And yet at some point there is the indescribable

On the sixth day God turned to Archangel Gabriel and said Today
I am going to create a land called Canada It will be a land of outstanding natural beauty It shall have tall majestic mountains full of mountain goats and eagles beautiful sparkling lakes bountiful with bass and trout forests full of elk and moose high cliffs over-looking sandy beaches with an abundance of sea life and rivers stocked with salmon
God continued
I shall make the land rich in resources so as to make the inhabitants prosper I shall call these inhabitants Canadians and they shall be known as the most friendly people on the earth
But Lord asked Gabriel dont you think you are being too generous to these Canadians
Not really replied GodJust wait and see the winters I am going to give

While the boy and his father were watching with amazement a fat old lady in a wheel chair rolled up to the moving walls and pressed a button The walls opened and the lady rolled between them into a small room The walls closed and the boy and his father watched the small circular numbers above the walls light up sequentially They continued to watch until it reached the last number and then the numbers began to light in the reverse order Then the walls opened up again and a gorgeous voluptuous 24-year-old blonde woman stepped out The father not taking his eyes off the young woman said quietly to his son

The Touch of a healerAn Irishman in a wheelchair entered a restaurant
one afternoon and asked the waitress for a cup of coffee The Irishman looked across the restaurant and asked Is that Jesus sitting over there The waitress nodded yes so the Irishman told her to give Jesus a cup of coffee on him
The next patron to come in was an Englishman with a hunched back He shuffled over to a booth painfully sat down and asked for a cup of hot tea He also glanced across the restaurant and asked Is that Jesus over there The waitress nodded so the Englishman said to give Jesus a cup of hot tea my treat
The third patron to come into the restaurant was a Redneck on crutches He hobbled over to a booth sat down and hollered Hey there sweet thang Hows about gettin me a cold glass of Coke He too looked across the restaurant and asked Is that
Gods boy over there The waitress once again nodded that it was so the Redneck said to give Jesus a cold glass of Coke on my bill
As Jesus got up to leave he passed by the Irishman touched him and said For your kindness you are healed The Irishman felt the strength come back to his legs got up and danced a jig right out the door
Jesus also passed by the Englishman touched him and said For your kindness you are healed The Englishman felt his back straightening up and he raised his hands praised the Lord and did a series of back flips out the door
Then Jesus walked up to the Redneck
The Redneck jumped up and yelled ldquoDonrsquot touch me Irsquom drawinrsquo disabilityrdquo
The most important thing for all motorcycle riders and vehicle drivers in Saskatchewan right now is standing-up and getting YOUR voice heardhellipand COUNTED
When it comes to the Saskatchewan Rate Review process each and every voice matters no matter how big no matter how small Every voice every opinion matters Use this process to make YOUR VOICE COUNT BEFORE April 28 2014 After thathellipit is too late
RAGE is here to continue what we started so successfully last year To continue to lobby SGI and the Provincial Government to put real and long-term public policy forward to end the continuous cycle of rate increases being implemented to
cover up escalating high-risk driving behaviour in Saskatchewan In a nutshell to stop just raising rates and not much else
If you parked a vehicle on the street downtown (any type of vehicle) and just left it there till it caused an accident How long would it take for that vehicle to be at-fault for causing one That is if it wasnrsquot stolen or vandalized first
Now if a person comes along gets into that same vehicle and drives off looking at their cellphone and texting How long
If it is a motorcycle and a person who just wrote their learners with zero experience (other than maybe a ride around the block) comes along gets on and rides off into traffic How long
The great thing about what we are putting forward is that it addresses ALL driver behavior Not vehicles but those who drive them ALL of us
You as a motorcycle and vehicle owner need to be speaking up this yearhellipin Saskatchewan you are more than likely both Making sure YOUR voice
Stand Up and Be Counted

RAGE Dare to Know
What your body needs to heal itself
The BodyTalk Systemwith Practitioner Bev Groot
To book an appointment or find out more about the BodyTalk System call
gets counted To stop the endless cycle of just raising rates with not much else
This will allow RAGE to have a strong voice when it comes to the Personal Injury Insurance Review happening later this year Remember YOUR ldquoa-la-carterdquo recommendation has been approved by government
To continue to fight for mandatory safety training (Yes RAGE has always wanted this to be mandatory)
To continue to work with SGI on the things they are already implementing as a result of RAGE and ALL YOUR VOICES
YOUR VOICEno matter what your messageMATTERS to RAGE
Without all YOUR voicesindividuallyeach counting as 1UNITED into manyhellipSGI will simply not listen
Since the 1980rsquos and up until last yearvery few voices were raised to be counted during the Rate Review Process SGI pretty much did what they wantedthen last year BAM
For years SGI shut out anyone any group many efforts by the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel and the Provincial Government for any changeswhyNO UNITED VOICES Yes they brought in the 3 year MGDL in 2011 However they didnrsquot work with the groups involved past initial consultations SGI came to their own conclusions (no one could agree) and implemented what they
wanted SGI then stopped returning calls and continued to increase rates in 2012 and 2013
Even the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel has had difficulty getting the information they need from SGI to make informed decisions
Is it little wonder that the Minister Responsible for SGI felt she didnrsquot have to listen to the ldquosuggestionrdquo of the Rate Review Panel After all they never really had in previous years
Hammering us with another 15 increase could have been meant to knock us off our motorcycles and give up After all that hard workhellipand yet another increase Irsquom betting they expected us to cry in our coffee about how unfair they are about how they just do want they want anyway how we should just privatize and then do nothing more than that
Now that might have workedhellipin the past That is until last year the first time since the 1980rsquos when RAGE worked hard to organize YOUR voices YOU each used your own voices You each counted Then RAGE presented a proposal that took EACH ONE and MADE THEM COUNT as a UNITED VOICE
Then we did the unthinkablehellipWE STAYED We werenrsquot just there for 3 meetings WE
were 100 ALL INhellipFOR YOU To make sure YOUR VOICES continued to count RAGE continued to work with SGI on the wording for the recommendations put forward providing information for awareness sharing the ldquoCount Your Motorcyclerdquo game and much more
When it comes right down to it YOUR opinions and comments should matter to YOU IT does not matter if you donrsquot agree with the overall message of RAGE or your local riding club group
association coffee groupwhatever WHAT MATTERSis YOU getting YOUR VOICE
heard YOU canrsquot leave it up to everyone else You canrsquot assume anyone else is going to do this for YOU WE ALL MUST FIGHT
The worst thing you can do is nothing THAT is even worse than complaining and doing nothing Complaincomplain to your hearts contentto the Sask Rate Review Panel
THEN go have coffeeIf you canrsquot make it to the meeting in person
please at the very least contact the Rate Review Panel with YOUR voice
Each of our own voices count as 1 in this processjust as the voice of RAGE only counts as 1 We know SGI only listens when there are MANY following a UNITED theme
YOU can get YOUR voice heardand COUNTEDby submitting your comments regarding the application by April 28 2014 using any of the following methods

After a magnificent breakfast I started loading up my bike and it wasnrsquot long before the gang arrived to come take me sightseeing
Our first stop of the day after topping up our tanks was at the look out of Lac Saint Jean
From here you truly get a sense of how immense this lake is
We took some time to admire the view and chat about the plans for the rest of the day
Our next stop was to be the Camp Musical a purely French speaking musical camp for students to come and immerse themselves in the culture of the region and the music that is their passion
The camp has numerous housing units and the most incredible concert hall The Raymond Tremblay concert hall has 320 seats 2 piano rooms a bistro terrace and exhibition hall The Egyptian goddess Hathor is symbolized here and she represents happiness joy and music
The acoustics even when you are just speaking
well stunning would be the word to describe the sound quality
Everything about this 40-year-old institute screams creativity We went up to the gazebo on the observation deck and took in the panorama Breathtakingly beautiful you can see why this region inspires music and lyrics
After our tour of the camp was done we headed out towards the Village Historique Val-Jalbert Canadarsquos BEST preserved Ghost Town I couldnrsquot wait
The ride from the Camp Musical to Val-Jalbert which is just northwest of Chambord took about 30 minutes It was a wee bit overcast but the temperature was perfect for riding
When we arrived at Val-Jalbert we headed into the gorgeous visitor information centre and were assigned a tour guide named Michelle Pelletier Michelle turned out to be an amazing tour guide
She spoke in both French and English easily and made all of us feel so welcome

We got in an electric cart and began our tour with Michelle telling us about the history of this town and why it is such a significant tourism and historical attraction
You see this town was the dream of one man Damase Jalbert He was the founder of the Ouiatchouan Pulp Company that built a pulp mill
here The town he founded for his employees started out as Saint-Georges-de-Ouiatchouan named for the river and the falls that powered the mill The name was changed to Val-Jalbert in 1913 in honor of the man whose dream it was
Damase wanted to build the best company town and provide his employees with a rarified quality of living
He died suddenly three years after opening the mill The mill faced a cash shortage and was bought by American shareholders in 1904 In 1909 the Chicoutimi Pulp Company bought it
From 1909 to 1922 the village flourished and was the envy of many surrounding communities
The company town offered employees electricity and running water in their homes a good 25 years before anyone else in Quebec had power
In 1923 the demand for mechanical pulp began to fall and by 1924 most of the workers had been laid off
On August 13th 1927 all operations ceased and over the next few years the village became abandoned
In 1942 the government took the property back for non-payment of taxes and in 1970 Val-Jalbert had new life breathed into it as a tourist attraction In recent years the government of Quebec has spent 19+ million dollars to upgrade and improve the visitors information centre put in a glass observation deck and a whole host of other improvements
Val-Jalbert must have been the most amazing town in the region in its day because this place is utterly amazing today The Quebec government has spent a lot of money and time restoring this
place to preserve the history and they have done an incredible job
Our first stop on the tour was the convent school where we met ldquoMother Superiorrdquo who took us through the school and answered our questions She was stern but I think there was a glint of mischief in her eyes as she ldquodisciplinedrdquo us on proper etiquette
There was the most amazing art display in
one room and in another the historical timeline of the residents of Val-Jalbert to take in The antiques and furnishings truly made you feel you were stuck in a time warp
After touring the school we headed towards the post office The ldquopostmistressrdquo was this chatty little gal that had us peeing ourselves we were laughing so hard It was pretty cool to see the old stamps and the various bits of equipment of the day
We walked up the street to take a tour of the restored duplexes that line the main street You have to see these places to truly appreciate them Imagine 1910 and you can flip a switch and have lights turn a tap and have water flush a toilet and not have to walk to the outhouse
These company houses were so well built and the people who lived here were fiercely loyal to the company that treated them so well
From the duplexes we went to the general store where we ran into the ldquoMayorrdquo the only person in town to have a car The general store offers up everything a visitor could need plus acts as a museum with lots of interesting period pieces on display
Michelle had gotten keys to show us the duplexes that have been upgraded and make up the 4 star accommodations offered here
We walked across the street and were taken to view to the most amazing hotel rooms
Rustic and yet modern these rooms are spacious well appointed and every one of them has unique little shadow boxes filled with antiques
All of the modern appliances Internet boxes and TV are all hidden in closets so that they are not visible It makes for a very appealing deacutecor
Although the rooms appear to only have one bed in the matter of a few moments Michelle had the
couch taken apart and the bed folded down out of the wall for a second bed
The bathrooms are absolute marvels with big tubs and glass showers
The parking for the hotel rooms is hidden behind a row of trees so that there is no real visual of anything modern on the face of things
From the hotel rooms we got back in the electric cart and headed towards the ldquoruinsrdquo Although many of the duplexes have been restored Michelle explained to us that the style of construction for the company houses had been changed and that
the newer houses had collapsed on themselves Some of the buildings are slated for restoration but many are too far-gone The streets they line are preserved so that one can walk by the ruins and get a feel for how large this town really was and how well laid out it was
Our next stop was the Mill Impressive is a good word to describe this place We had our lunch in the Old Mill Restaurant The food served here complimented the
atmosphere ndash IMPECCABLEThe chef Carl Murray has a great reputation that
he totally lives up toThe service
the food the atmosphere and the company were all top drawer
After our fabulous meal it was time to head to the tram and go experience the waterfalls
The ride up to the top gives you the most magnificent view of the region The Ouiatchouan Falls are some 65 feet higher than the Niagara Falls
and the power of them is palpable The rushing water is almost deafening as you walk out on to the glass observation deck
From the falls we walked down to the mill again and took in the most impressive interactive show I have ever experienced In the underbelly of the once abandoned mill amongst all of the monster gearing and shafts the lights go dim you feel the mist in the air and all of a sudden the walls become alive with characters from the original town and they take you through the historical timeline of the village and its people
It is absolutely captivating you become totally involved in the lives and the hardship of the villagers
The show signaled the end of our tour and Michelle took us back to the visitor information centre and sent us all off with gifts of blueberry jam and blueberry tea to remember our visit by
My bike had been acting up off and on and I had been keeping an eye out on a leak coming from the front of the engine The noise from the shifter region was becoming louder but I wasnrsquot experiencing any power loss so I kept an ear out and we kept riding
Our next stop was at the Cheddar Cheese Museum in Saint-Prime where a sweet young man took us on a tour
He showed us the old-fashioned way cheddar cheese was made and then we got to tour the museum portion of the factory 4 generations of the family Perron have made cheddar cheese here
The museum has over 650 artifacts that involve the familyrsquos history in cheese making including the stamps and other machinery used in exporting the cheese
The Cheddar Cheese Museum offers interactive displays and hosts several workshops on the art of making cheddar Upstairs you can view the family home of the Perronrsquos and see all of the period specific furnishings
Along with guided tours you can also sample the various types of cheddar cheese which we did and oh my I have never tasted cheddar that was so smooth and rich
After thanking our young guide for the fabulous tour we headed off
We stopped at Tim Hortonrsquos for a coffee and sitting out on the curb in front of my bike I could see the leak was getting worse I was very concerned and asked if there was a shop nearby where I could at least check the oil level in my primary
Rejean talked to one of the local riders Denis AKA Tarte au Sucre (Sweet Pie) and he took us to Carl Tremblayrsquos shop Carl is a mechanic that many here swear by His rates are far cheaper than the dealerships and every rider in the region says hersquos a guru He took the primary apart and sure
enough discovered that the compensating sprocket was dead and the stator was leaking With parts ordered and Rejeanrsquos wife going to the Harley shop to pick them up Francine Lynne Rejean and Denis rode me to my hotel the Motel Chutes des Pegraveres in Dolbeau-Mistassini My gear and luggage was distributed over three of the four bikes
By the time we got in it was dark and everyone had to head home I enjoyed a wonderful steak for supper and then headed off to my beautiful room and after a boiling hot pounding shower I climbed into the queen-sized bed and with the sound of the falls lulling me to sleep
And thatrsquos where I will leave you until next weekhellipBelt Drive Betty

1 - Yoursquoll Become a Better DriverTherersquos no doubt that riding a motorcycle has its
benefits especially when it comes to driving a car Riding a motorcycle teaches you to look out for people who are trying to kill you yoursquoll see hazards sooner and yoursquoll end up with Ninja-like machine control So when it comes to driving yoursquoll put all that to work and be a cut above the rest Hopefully
2 - Everyone Wants To Talk To YouIt really doesnrsquot matter what kind of motorcycle
you ride yoursquoll find middle-aged men stare at you and your bike with a dreamy lust before giving you an unwanted compliment Chances are theyrsquoll have no idea what the bike is either
Choose a classic or even worse a modern classic and yoursquoll become a magnet for old men who have the knack of being able to have a conversation with you without you needing to add any input Yoursquoll reach for your helmet on more than one occasion but not be able to put in on and leave because theyrsquoll ask you a question when you try Yoursquoll be subjected to questions about your
bike that you donrsquot know the answer to or even care about
The conversation will go something like this Is that a Triumph I had a Triumph once (followed by 10 minutes of ldquoback in my day rdquo)
3 - When You Say Yoursquore A Biker This Is The First Image That
Comes To Peoplehellip
5 Things They Never Told You About Becoming A Bikerby Robert Whaley NW Ontario Motorcycling
You could be a nice guy you could have something that resembles a career you could do the occasional BBQ it doesnrsquot matter When you mention to anyone at a party that yoursquove got a motorcycle a picture of this guy will pop into their head Then as you explain that you donrsquot ride a cruiser and yoursquove got a sportsbike theyrsquoll just think yoursquore speaking Greek and will reevaluate you as some sort of nut job who tries to kill himself on the highways Itrsquos a no-win
4 - Bees and Other Flying Things Will Start To Scare You
Anything flying will scare you When yoursquore sitting around at a family BBQ and everyone starts going mental the moment a bee or a wasp arrives on the scene you sit there perfectly calm and wonder what all the fuss is about
However - when yoursquore on a bike itrsquos a different story There you are riding along on a nice sunny day with your visor up enjoying the countryside and the winding road in front of you
Then you spot it 50 metres away a large insect looks like its stopped going about its daily business and itrsquos homing in at you instead Before you can do anything about it it goes THHHHHWAP right on your cheek Close but luckily it didnrsquot get you in the eye Then you panic the little bastardrsquos still in your helmet You insert a clumsy leather-clad finger and try and flick whatever it is away but probably end up pissing it off even further Then you crank on the brakes and perform the worldrsquos fastest lid removal followed by a little bit of a flappy-armed dance
5 - You Canrsquot Figure Out Who To Wave ToWhen you get a motorcycle you become part of a
club Itrsquos a club no biker really talks about but yoursquore in it now and yoursquore not allowed to leave Ever When you first pass your test yoursquoll wave at anyone and everyone If yoursquore heading down a road and a dog looks at you the right way yoursquoll probably wave at him too
Unfortunately this will change There are no set rules as to how it will change but yoursquoll end up developing your own code Me I wave at everyone dogs too and donrsquot give a second thought to the riders that donrsquot wave back But thatrsquos just me Yoursquoll have to work out your own code
Breaking is one of the most important things that you will learn to do on a motorcycle When we first learn to ride we are taught techniques to protect ourselves from crashing such as breaking shifting and countersteering But generally the most effective way to avoid an accident is through proper use of the brakes
The rear brake in particular is probably one of the least understood controls on a motorcycle Many riders donrsquot use the rear brake at all claiming that it doesnrsquot actually aid in slowing down or stopping the bike and say that it locks up the rear tire when trying to use it In fact most experts agree that a balanced use of both the front and rear brake is the most effective way of slowing or stopping a motorcycle
The rear brake also plays a huge role in adding stability to the bike when maneuvering
Because of the weight distribution on a motorcycle the braking balance of stopping power between the front and rear is 70 on the front and 30 on the rear This should tell you that if you donrsquot use the rear brake at all you are loosing 30 of the potential stopping power on your bike This could become a critical factor if you find yourself in trouble and have to try
and avoid an accident
Why does the rear brake lock up Well once again it has to do with weight distribution When you find yourself in a braking situation and start applying the brakes the geometry of the bike changes (due partly to the suspension) and much of the total weight (bike + rider) is transferred to the front This allows the rider to apply much more front brake than rear brake (the 7030 ratio)
Learning the finer points of your bikersquos braking performance is the key to keeping your bike in control It is a good idea to explore those limits in a safe environment
Practice repeated stops in an abandoned parking lot and yoursquoll start to get a feel for the amount of
effort that triggers tire slippage or rear tire lock-up
Try stopping with your front brake only then rear only and then a combination of both Once you become more familiar with your bikersquos brakes the sensations of weight transfer will start to feel more apparent and familiar That way yoursquoll be much more aware of the limits of your bike and yoursquoll be much better prepared in stopping

CAV To Hold AGM During ATLANTICADE (Summerside PE)
ndash The relationship started off by accident back in 2007 in
Moncton during the inaugural Atlanticade eventldquoI saw these guys who were hanging around
together with CAV crests on their vests and didnrsquot really know who they wererdquo says Dale Hicks festival founder and chairman Hicks began to connect the dots on the final day when the closing parade ended at the local veteranrsquos health care center and the CAV riders were very engaged with the vets ldquoSo I starting asking ndash who are these guys and what does CAV stand forrdquo
That was over seven years ago and now the relationship between Atlanticade and the Canadian Army Veterans is as strong a bond as you will find anywhere in the world of motorcycle events
ldquoOnce we became aware of who the CAV group was and what they represented I said well this group reflects the best of what it means to be Canadian so we certainly wanted to build a relationship with themrdquo recalls Hicks
Since then CAV has played a significant role in some form or fashion at each Atlanticade event The festival now has a
ldquoSupport the Troopsrdquo activity incorporated into the schedule each year where CAV plays a lead role In addition CAV will also be found leading parades such as the Confederation Bridge Cruise and the Parade of Iron Horses
In fact in 2011 Hicks was surprised and honored to be presented with an
honorary membership into the CAV organization at the closing awards breakfast at the Algonquin Hotel in St Andrews
ldquoYeah they caught me off guard with that and I certainly was humbled and honored by to be presented the crest by Trapperrdquo says Hicks ldquoI donrsquot feel worthy of wearing the crest but I do sport it proudly at certain times during Atlanticaderdquo
The unique bond between the two organizations continues for the upcoming 8th annual festival being held in Summerside PEI from June 27th to
Continued Next Page
(Atlanticade chairman Dale Hicks had just presented Trapper Cane with the annual ldquoExperienced Rider Awardrdquo
when Cane turned the tables by presenting Hicks with his honorary CAV membership during the 2011 event)
July 1st Recenty CAV founder Paul (Trapper) Cane announced the grouprsquos annual general meeting will take place in Summerside in conjunction with Atlanticade
ldquoAtlanticade brings great energy to all riders and our CAV members certainly appreciate the extra efforts put forth by Dalersquos team to give us some profile at the eventrdquo says Cane ldquoNo doubt it has been a great relationship between the two organizations and we hope it continues well into the futurerdquo
For his part Hicks says that Atlanticade is very proud to be able to host the CAV ndash AGM as part of the 2014 festival ldquoWe always have a good turnout of CAV members at our event but this will mean an additional boost in participants from across the country We hope we can make it a little special for them and something they will remember years down the roadrdquo

Wyz WisdomPeople often take the time to complain but rarely take the time to say ldquoyou done goodrdquo ndash take a momenthellipspread the happyhelliptell someone when theyrsquove done a good job today ndash WyzWmnSome Donkey WisdomOne day a farmerrsquos donkey fell down into a well The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to doFinally he decided the animal was old and the well needed to be covered up anyway it just wasnrsquot worth it to retrieve the donkey He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well At first the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly Then to everyonersquos amazement he quieted downA few shovel loads later the farmer finally looked down the well and was astonished at what he saw With every shovel of dirt that hit his back the donkey was doing something amazing He would shake it off and take a step up on the dirt As the farmerrsquos neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal he would shake it off
and take a step up Pretty soon everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted offAnd the moral ishellip Life is going to shovel dirt on you all kinds of dirt The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up Each of our troubles is a steppingstone We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping never giving up Shake it off and take a step up

moto-foodieWith time off for good behavior the remainder
of my last afternoon in the Cream City was spent doing a random walkabout with camera in hand Milwaukee is nicknamed ldquoCream Cityrdquo but this has nothing to do with dairy The distinctive clay found on the western shore of Lake Michigan produces a creamy yellow brick when fired First used around 1830 these bricks became the primary building material used from the 1850s to 1880s and thus a cream-colored cityscape rather than a ubiquitous brick red arose
The best foodie experience was saved for last Chef David Swanson creates some of the best dishes in the city at Braise Located on Walkerrsquos Point in the shadow of the Allen-Bradley clock tower this restaurant is part of Braise Culinary School that evolved from Braise RSA (restaurant supported agriculture) David Swanson has been at the forefront of farm-to-table initiatives and his restaurant and culinary school exemplifies the ldquolocavorerdquo movement The menu depends upon the season and changes almost weekly My goal was to sample as many small plates as possible while On the floor of the Lakefront Brewery
Once you know about cream city brick it will be noticed almost everywhere in
Walking back to the Iron Horse Hotel with a full belly the Polish Moon shone brightly behind me This is the nickname for the second-largest four-faced clock in the world Placed in the 283-foot high tower of the Allen-Bradley (Rockwell Automation) headquarters each dial measures over 40 feet in diameter and the clock requires 346 kilowatts to operate Itrsquos a prominent Milwaukee landmark that I frequently used during the past three days when exploring Walkerrsquos Point [Polish Moon_9633 The second-largest four-faced tower clock in the world is nicknamed ldquoThe Polish Moonrdquo because Walkerrsquos Point district was home to the cityrsquos Polish population]
An Internet search shows there are1400 restaurants listed for Milwaukee but I experienced merely 15 plus checked out another five during my stay There are famous restaurants and neighborhood spots only locals know of Some are in historic properties others in non-descript storefronts and local bars often have amazing menus Ethnic German Polish and Mexican cuisine flourishes along with traditional American and fusion yet the most striking aspect is the widespread commitment to high quality locally sourced food [Moto-Foodie in Milwaukee Day 3 map on Google for more detail go to httpgooglmaps33Hma ]

Every now and again Hollywood takes a real-life story and does a remarkable job transforming what might be a heroic tale or an against all odds success story that leaves audiences captivated emotionally attached to some characters and highly
entertained Granted these types of movies donrsquot come along often but when they do people flock to the theatres in part I believe because there is something uplifting encouraging that comes from experiencing a ldquofeel goodrdquo true story
How often in life do we experience that kind of a rush when our heart-strings have been yanked by someone or some cause and we have followed our instinct to reach out a helping hand in one form or another
I have experienced motorcycle breakdowns where strangers would stop to help and in the course of conversation a friendship develops and the person doing the giving winds up leaving with the biggest pump It just feels good when we can make a difference Recently a total stranger covered the cost of my morning ldquofixrdquo as they paid for my Tim Hortonrsquos coffee Small move but it felt good for me and so in turn I want to do that for
somebody else So can we say that lsquogood worksrsquo or lsquomaking a differencersquo is contagious I think so
As a biker church pastor I get to hear first-hand about peoplersquos troubles and triumphs in life and one thing is for sure just as much as people like to talk about their trials and challenges they love to talk about the good things going on in their lives the happy times and frankly I see those people who take the time to enjoy what they have and make the effort to lift up others to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives just naturally attract others to themselves
In our ldquoOwnerrsquos Manualrdquo for life we read in Psalm 11824 ldquoThis is the day that the Lord has made let us rejoice and be glad in itrdquo
So there you have it be grateful for the day and be happy That will make a difference in the lives ofpeople around you

As we see in the conflicts that are brewing around this world of ours the power of the people to affect change is powerful
A small group of committed individuals can accomplish much
They can topple governments or back them up against a wall
The on highway motorcycle community in Canada is rapidly approaching 1 million registered motorcycles
Every weekend you will see thousands of us gathered at various events across our respective provinces and territories always riding and working for charities that mean something to us that hit
home for usVery seldom however do you see this community
rally around itself and its own issues outside of riders we lovecare about needing help
As we get prepared for the 2014 riding season we as riders are going to face a variety of issues Some will affect all of us other issues will only affect certain riders
Insurance is an issue that affects us all as are the condition of the highways in this country So is distracted driving
As a rider who has ridden across this great land of ours I can tell you road maintenance is also an issue in the majority of regions
Some of us will experience police harassment others will ride uninterrupted
Some of us will experience headaches in communities with Motorcycle Only Noise Bylaws others will never be detained or bothered
Some of us will have great experiences at dealerships and others not so much
Some of us will experience discrimination and be turned away from establishments because of how we dress and what we ride others will experience none of that
This summer when you experience issues do something about it
Remember the POWER OF THE PEOPLEDocument it Photos videos and written
accounts of the situations you encounterThen if you live in a provinceterritory with a
Riders Rights Organization like BCCOM ABATE BRO Coalition of Manitoba Motorcycle Groups
RAGE or the newly formed Atlantic Motorcycle Coalition get that information into them so that they have something concrete to work with
They canrsquot help you or anyone else unless YOU give them something to work with
If you are in a province where there is no collective to represent your voice like in Alberta NWT YT - the only three regions without a provincialterritorial lobbying voice then yoursquoll really want to document things well especially if it involves court and lawyers If it is about roadways and other concerns you can at least present your MLA with the information
Every rider who experiences something of a discomforting nature should stand up and say something do something so that the others who come after you might not have to experience the same thing
If you arenrsquot a member of your local riders rights coalition consider becoming one
Our voice counts be it as an individual taxpayer or in a collective with many voices united but they only count when the persons we are discussing our
situation with can actually do something about itWhining and not taking the right actions do
nothing to alleviate problems - so this summer get a camera for your motorcycle or helmet have a note pad and a pen in a tool pouch or jacket pocket and remember the information you take down and share with the right people will do some good if not today somewhere down the road
Thatrsquos whatrsquos on my mind today what are your thoughts on the topic of the Power of the People
Have a great day and if you are one of the lucky ones who is riding today please remember to ride like everyone around you is blind and cannot see you
Until next week I am your editor Belt Drive Betty

Art amp The Motorcycle My Name Milton BeginMake Harley DavidsonYear 1993Title ldquoFresh Paint n Old LeatherrdquoArtist Jeremy Ferguson
The tragedy of the space shuttle Challenger is what gave me the idea of the paint scheme I knew I wanted to keep the blue color on the bike After all I as well as the people who know me have always referred to the bike as Olrsquo Blue Flames and skulls have been well overdone so it came to me scorched paint and steel Must have been what the shuttle was going thru for that split second in the early stage of re-entry
The bike was shipped out of Milwaukee in 1993 I rode it to Milwaukee in 2003 for the 100th Anniversary Ride Home Celebration for Harley Davidson Plans were made to ride it home again in 2013 for the 110th Anniversary Fresh paint was in order Hence the name Fresh Paint n Old Leather I have kept and still ride with the same leather for all too many years Although you canrsquot see many of the details in the picture Jeremy scratched in the dates after it was painted onto the bottom of the front fender It looks awesome because Jeremy is a talented individual
If I am able I will ride home again in 2023 The bike will undoubtedly make it

Light travels faster than sound This is why some people appear
No idea quite Where you are exactly nor do you know where yet you need to be
You feel as tossed as tumultuously as leaves in the wind
Your thoughts are as
turbulent amp dangerous as the moods of a teenagerYou are almost certain you are going in an
aimless direction with your eyes closed but your hands refuse to relinquish their grips
There is a time when the mind gleefully spins events amp memories into painful brutal tellings amp the tears dry upon your cheeks as fast as the wind can touch them leaving no trace
This is the time when intelligent rationale simply fails amp pure raw emotion takes over
Coherent thought is impossibleSpeech is non-existentThe primal need to fight- flee or fuck has kicked
into overdrive amp so with the flick of a thumb you opt for the fastest although not necessarily Wisest course of action amp race away from your demons at breakneck speed almost daring them to catch you
And the racechase is onMile after mile flashes past beneath you amp you
handle the bike as easily as breathing There are times when you ldquobecome onerdquo with it amp this is surely that time
It is pure sensation the adrenalin rush of exhilaration that isnrsquot noticed
The passage of time on a stopwatch held by the hands of the Gods
Death might ride a pale horse but you have a Harley

On the sixth day God turned to Archangel Gabriel and said Today
I am going to create a land called Canada It will be a land of outstanding natural beauty It shall have tall majestic mountains full of mountain goats and eagles beautiful sparkling lakes bountiful with bass and trout forests full of elk and moose high cliffs over-looking sandy beaches with an abundance of sea life and rivers stocked with salmon
God continued
I shall make the land rich in resources so as to make the inhabitants prosper I shall call these inhabitants Canadians and they shall be known as the most friendly people on the earth
But Lord asked Gabriel dont you think you are being too generous to these Canadians
Not really replied GodJust wait and see the winters I am going to give

While the boy and his father were watching with amazement a fat old lady in a wheel chair rolled up to the moving walls and pressed a button The walls opened and the lady rolled between them into a small room The walls closed and the boy and his father watched the small circular numbers above the walls light up sequentially They continued to watch until it reached the last number and then the numbers began to light in the reverse order Then the walls opened up again and a gorgeous voluptuous 24-year-old blonde woman stepped out The father not taking his eyes off the young woman said quietly to his son

The Touch of a healerAn Irishman in a wheelchair entered a restaurant
one afternoon and asked the waitress for a cup of coffee The Irishman looked across the restaurant and asked Is that Jesus sitting over there The waitress nodded yes so the Irishman told her to give Jesus a cup of coffee on him
The next patron to come in was an Englishman with a hunched back He shuffled over to a booth painfully sat down and asked for a cup of hot tea He also glanced across the restaurant and asked Is that Jesus over there The waitress nodded so the Englishman said to give Jesus a cup of hot tea my treat
The third patron to come into the restaurant was a Redneck on crutches He hobbled over to a booth sat down and hollered Hey there sweet thang Hows about gettin me a cold glass of Coke He too looked across the restaurant and asked Is that
Gods boy over there The waitress once again nodded that it was so the Redneck said to give Jesus a cold glass of Coke on my bill
As Jesus got up to leave he passed by the Irishman touched him and said For your kindness you are healed The Irishman felt the strength come back to his legs got up and danced a jig right out the door
Jesus also passed by the Englishman touched him and said For your kindness you are healed The Englishman felt his back straightening up and he raised his hands praised the Lord and did a series of back flips out the door
Then Jesus walked up to the Redneck
The Redneck jumped up and yelled ldquoDonrsquot touch me Irsquom drawinrsquo disabilityrdquo
The most important thing for all motorcycle riders and vehicle drivers in Saskatchewan right now is standing-up and getting YOUR voice heardhellipand COUNTED
When it comes to the Saskatchewan Rate Review process each and every voice matters no matter how big no matter how small Every voice every opinion matters Use this process to make YOUR VOICE COUNT BEFORE April 28 2014 After thathellipit is too late
RAGE is here to continue what we started so successfully last year To continue to lobby SGI and the Provincial Government to put real and long-term public policy forward to end the continuous cycle of rate increases being implemented to
cover up escalating high-risk driving behaviour in Saskatchewan In a nutshell to stop just raising rates and not much else
If you parked a vehicle on the street downtown (any type of vehicle) and just left it there till it caused an accident How long would it take for that vehicle to be at-fault for causing one That is if it wasnrsquot stolen or vandalized first
Now if a person comes along gets into that same vehicle and drives off looking at their cellphone and texting How long
If it is a motorcycle and a person who just wrote their learners with zero experience (other than maybe a ride around the block) comes along gets on and rides off into traffic How long
The great thing about what we are putting forward is that it addresses ALL driver behavior Not vehicles but those who drive them ALL of us
You as a motorcycle and vehicle owner need to be speaking up this yearhellipin Saskatchewan you are more than likely both Making sure YOUR voice
Stand Up and Be Counted

RAGE Dare to Know
What your body needs to heal itself
The BodyTalk Systemwith Practitioner Bev Groot
To book an appointment or find out more about the BodyTalk System call
gets counted To stop the endless cycle of just raising rates with not much else
This will allow RAGE to have a strong voice when it comes to the Personal Injury Insurance Review happening later this year Remember YOUR ldquoa-la-carterdquo recommendation has been approved by government
To continue to fight for mandatory safety training (Yes RAGE has always wanted this to be mandatory)
To continue to work with SGI on the things they are already implementing as a result of RAGE and ALL YOUR VOICES
YOUR VOICEno matter what your messageMATTERS to RAGE
Without all YOUR voicesindividuallyeach counting as 1UNITED into manyhellipSGI will simply not listen
Since the 1980rsquos and up until last yearvery few voices were raised to be counted during the Rate Review Process SGI pretty much did what they wantedthen last year BAM
For years SGI shut out anyone any group many efforts by the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel and the Provincial Government for any changeswhyNO UNITED VOICES Yes they brought in the 3 year MGDL in 2011 However they didnrsquot work with the groups involved past initial consultations SGI came to their own conclusions (no one could agree) and implemented what they
wanted SGI then stopped returning calls and continued to increase rates in 2012 and 2013
Even the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel has had difficulty getting the information they need from SGI to make informed decisions
Is it little wonder that the Minister Responsible for SGI felt she didnrsquot have to listen to the ldquosuggestionrdquo of the Rate Review Panel After all they never really had in previous years
Hammering us with another 15 increase could have been meant to knock us off our motorcycles and give up After all that hard workhellipand yet another increase Irsquom betting they expected us to cry in our coffee about how unfair they are about how they just do want they want anyway how we should just privatize and then do nothing more than that
Now that might have workedhellipin the past That is until last year the first time since the 1980rsquos when RAGE worked hard to organize YOUR voices YOU each used your own voices You each counted Then RAGE presented a proposal that took EACH ONE and MADE THEM COUNT as a UNITED VOICE
Then we did the unthinkablehellipWE STAYED We werenrsquot just there for 3 meetings WE
were 100 ALL INhellipFOR YOU To make sure YOUR VOICES continued to count RAGE continued to work with SGI on the wording for the recommendations put forward providing information for awareness sharing the ldquoCount Your Motorcyclerdquo game and much more
When it comes right down to it YOUR opinions and comments should matter to YOU IT does not matter if you donrsquot agree with the overall message of RAGE or your local riding club group
association coffee groupwhatever WHAT MATTERSis YOU getting YOUR VOICE
heard YOU canrsquot leave it up to everyone else You canrsquot assume anyone else is going to do this for YOU WE ALL MUST FIGHT
The worst thing you can do is nothing THAT is even worse than complaining and doing nothing Complaincomplain to your hearts contentto the Sask Rate Review Panel
THEN go have coffeeIf you canrsquot make it to the meeting in person
please at the very least contact the Rate Review Panel with YOUR voice
Each of our own voices count as 1 in this processjust as the voice of RAGE only counts as 1 We know SGI only listens when there are MANY following a UNITED theme
YOU can get YOUR voice heardand COUNTEDby submitting your comments regarding the application by April 28 2014 using any of the following methods

After a magnificent breakfast I started loading up my bike and it wasnrsquot long before the gang arrived to come take me sightseeing
Our first stop of the day after topping up our tanks was at the look out of Lac Saint Jean
From here you truly get a sense of how immense this lake is
We took some time to admire the view and chat about the plans for the rest of the day
Our next stop was to be the Camp Musical a purely French speaking musical camp for students to come and immerse themselves in the culture of the region and the music that is their passion
The camp has numerous housing units and the most incredible concert hall The Raymond Tremblay concert hall has 320 seats 2 piano rooms a bistro terrace and exhibition hall The Egyptian goddess Hathor is symbolized here and she represents happiness joy and music
The acoustics even when you are just speaking
well stunning would be the word to describe the sound quality
Everything about this 40-year-old institute screams creativity We went up to the gazebo on the observation deck and took in the panorama Breathtakingly beautiful you can see why this region inspires music and lyrics
After our tour of the camp was done we headed out towards the Village Historique Val-Jalbert Canadarsquos BEST preserved Ghost Town I couldnrsquot wait
The ride from the Camp Musical to Val-Jalbert which is just northwest of Chambord took about 30 minutes It was a wee bit overcast but the temperature was perfect for riding
When we arrived at Val-Jalbert we headed into the gorgeous visitor information centre and were assigned a tour guide named Michelle Pelletier Michelle turned out to be an amazing tour guide
She spoke in both French and English easily and made all of us feel so welcome

We got in an electric cart and began our tour with Michelle telling us about the history of this town and why it is such a significant tourism and historical attraction
You see this town was the dream of one man Damase Jalbert He was the founder of the Ouiatchouan Pulp Company that built a pulp mill
here The town he founded for his employees started out as Saint-Georges-de-Ouiatchouan named for the river and the falls that powered the mill The name was changed to Val-Jalbert in 1913 in honor of the man whose dream it was
Damase wanted to build the best company town and provide his employees with a rarified quality of living
He died suddenly three years after opening the mill The mill faced a cash shortage and was bought by American shareholders in 1904 In 1909 the Chicoutimi Pulp Company bought it
From 1909 to 1922 the village flourished and was the envy of many surrounding communities
The company town offered employees electricity and running water in their homes a good 25 years before anyone else in Quebec had power
In 1923 the demand for mechanical pulp began to fall and by 1924 most of the workers had been laid off
On August 13th 1927 all operations ceased and over the next few years the village became abandoned
In 1942 the government took the property back for non-payment of taxes and in 1970 Val-Jalbert had new life breathed into it as a tourist attraction In recent years the government of Quebec has spent 19+ million dollars to upgrade and improve the visitors information centre put in a glass observation deck and a whole host of other improvements
Val-Jalbert must have been the most amazing town in the region in its day because this place is utterly amazing today The Quebec government has spent a lot of money and time restoring this
place to preserve the history and they have done an incredible job
Our first stop on the tour was the convent school where we met ldquoMother Superiorrdquo who took us through the school and answered our questions She was stern but I think there was a glint of mischief in her eyes as she ldquodisciplinedrdquo us on proper etiquette
There was the most amazing art display in
one room and in another the historical timeline of the residents of Val-Jalbert to take in The antiques and furnishings truly made you feel you were stuck in a time warp
After touring the school we headed towards the post office The ldquopostmistressrdquo was this chatty little gal that had us peeing ourselves we were laughing so hard It was pretty cool to see the old stamps and the various bits of equipment of the day
We walked up the street to take a tour of the restored duplexes that line the main street You have to see these places to truly appreciate them Imagine 1910 and you can flip a switch and have lights turn a tap and have water flush a toilet and not have to walk to the outhouse
These company houses were so well built and the people who lived here were fiercely loyal to the company that treated them so well
From the duplexes we went to the general store where we ran into the ldquoMayorrdquo the only person in town to have a car The general store offers up everything a visitor could need plus acts as a museum with lots of interesting period pieces on display
Michelle had gotten keys to show us the duplexes that have been upgraded and make up the 4 star accommodations offered here
We walked across the street and were taken to view to the most amazing hotel rooms
Rustic and yet modern these rooms are spacious well appointed and every one of them has unique little shadow boxes filled with antiques
All of the modern appliances Internet boxes and TV are all hidden in closets so that they are not visible It makes for a very appealing deacutecor
Although the rooms appear to only have one bed in the matter of a few moments Michelle had the
couch taken apart and the bed folded down out of the wall for a second bed
The bathrooms are absolute marvels with big tubs and glass showers
The parking for the hotel rooms is hidden behind a row of trees so that there is no real visual of anything modern on the face of things
From the hotel rooms we got back in the electric cart and headed towards the ldquoruinsrdquo Although many of the duplexes have been restored Michelle explained to us that the style of construction for the company houses had been changed and that
the newer houses had collapsed on themselves Some of the buildings are slated for restoration but many are too far-gone The streets they line are preserved so that one can walk by the ruins and get a feel for how large this town really was and how well laid out it was
Our next stop was the Mill Impressive is a good word to describe this place We had our lunch in the Old Mill Restaurant The food served here complimented the
atmosphere ndash IMPECCABLEThe chef Carl Murray has a great reputation that
he totally lives up toThe service
the food the atmosphere and the company were all top drawer
After our fabulous meal it was time to head to the tram and go experience the waterfalls
The ride up to the top gives you the most magnificent view of the region The Ouiatchouan Falls are some 65 feet higher than the Niagara Falls
and the power of them is palpable The rushing water is almost deafening as you walk out on to the glass observation deck
From the falls we walked down to the mill again and took in the most impressive interactive show I have ever experienced In the underbelly of the once abandoned mill amongst all of the monster gearing and shafts the lights go dim you feel the mist in the air and all of a sudden the walls become alive with characters from the original town and they take you through the historical timeline of the village and its people
It is absolutely captivating you become totally involved in the lives and the hardship of the villagers
The show signaled the end of our tour and Michelle took us back to the visitor information centre and sent us all off with gifts of blueberry jam and blueberry tea to remember our visit by
My bike had been acting up off and on and I had been keeping an eye out on a leak coming from the front of the engine The noise from the shifter region was becoming louder but I wasnrsquot experiencing any power loss so I kept an ear out and we kept riding
Our next stop was at the Cheddar Cheese Museum in Saint-Prime where a sweet young man took us on a tour
He showed us the old-fashioned way cheddar cheese was made and then we got to tour the museum portion of the factory 4 generations of the family Perron have made cheddar cheese here
The museum has over 650 artifacts that involve the familyrsquos history in cheese making including the stamps and other machinery used in exporting the cheese
The Cheddar Cheese Museum offers interactive displays and hosts several workshops on the art of making cheddar Upstairs you can view the family home of the Perronrsquos and see all of the period specific furnishings
Along with guided tours you can also sample the various types of cheddar cheese which we did and oh my I have never tasted cheddar that was so smooth and rich
After thanking our young guide for the fabulous tour we headed off
We stopped at Tim Hortonrsquos for a coffee and sitting out on the curb in front of my bike I could see the leak was getting worse I was very concerned and asked if there was a shop nearby where I could at least check the oil level in my primary
Rejean talked to one of the local riders Denis AKA Tarte au Sucre (Sweet Pie) and he took us to Carl Tremblayrsquos shop Carl is a mechanic that many here swear by His rates are far cheaper than the dealerships and every rider in the region says hersquos a guru He took the primary apart and sure
enough discovered that the compensating sprocket was dead and the stator was leaking With parts ordered and Rejeanrsquos wife going to the Harley shop to pick them up Francine Lynne Rejean and Denis rode me to my hotel the Motel Chutes des Pegraveres in Dolbeau-Mistassini My gear and luggage was distributed over three of the four bikes
By the time we got in it was dark and everyone had to head home I enjoyed a wonderful steak for supper and then headed off to my beautiful room and after a boiling hot pounding shower I climbed into the queen-sized bed and with the sound of the falls lulling me to sleep
And thatrsquos where I will leave you until next weekhellipBelt Drive Betty

1 - Yoursquoll Become a Better DriverTherersquos no doubt that riding a motorcycle has its
benefits especially when it comes to driving a car Riding a motorcycle teaches you to look out for people who are trying to kill you yoursquoll see hazards sooner and yoursquoll end up with Ninja-like machine control So when it comes to driving yoursquoll put all that to work and be a cut above the rest Hopefully
2 - Everyone Wants To Talk To YouIt really doesnrsquot matter what kind of motorcycle
you ride yoursquoll find middle-aged men stare at you and your bike with a dreamy lust before giving you an unwanted compliment Chances are theyrsquoll have no idea what the bike is either
Choose a classic or even worse a modern classic and yoursquoll become a magnet for old men who have the knack of being able to have a conversation with you without you needing to add any input Yoursquoll reach for your helmet on more than one occasion but not be able to put in on and leave because theyrsquoll ask you a question when you try Yoursquoll be subjected to questions about your
bike that you donrsquot know the answer to or even care about
The conversation will go something like this Is that a Triumph I had a Triumph once (followed by 10 minutes of ldquoback in my day rdquo)
3 - When You Say Yoursquore A Biker This Is The First Image That
Comes To Peoplehellip
5 Things They Never Told You About Becoming A Bikerby Robert Whaley NW Ontario Motorcycling
You could be a nice guy you could have something that resembles a career you could do the occasional BBQ it doesnrsquot matter When you mention to anyone at a party that yoursquove got a motorcycle a picture of this guy will pop into their head Then as you explain that you donrsquot ride a cruiser and yoursquove got a sportsbike theyrsquoll just think yoursquore speaking Greek and will reevaluate you as some sort of nut job who tries to kill himself on the highways Itrsquos a no-win
4 - Bees and Other Flying Things Will Start To Scare You
Anything flying will scare you When yoursquore sitting around at a family BBQ and everyone starts going mental the moment a bee or a wasp arrives on the scene you sit there perfectly calm and wonder what all the fuss is about
However - when yoursquore on a bike itrsquos a different story There you are riding along on a nice sunny day with your visor up enjoying the countryside and the winding road in front of you
Then you spot it 50 metres away a large insect looks like its stopped going about its daily business and itrsquos homing in at you instead Before you can do anything about it it goes THHHHHWAP right on your cheek Close but luckily it didnrsquot get you in the eye Then you panic the little bastardrsquos still in your helmet You insert a clumsy leather-clad finger and try and flick whatever it is away but probably end up pissing it off even further Then you crank on the brakes and perform the worldrsquos fastest lid removal followed by a little bit of a flappy-armed dance
5 - You Canrsquot Figure Out Who To Wave ToWhen you get a motorcycle you become part of a
club Itrsquos a club no biker really talks about but yoursquore in it now and yoursquore not allowed to leave Ever When you first pass your test yoursquoll wave at anyone and everyone If yoursquore heading down a road and a dog looks at you the right way yoursquoll probably wave at him too
Unfortunately this will change There are no set rules as to how it will change but yoursquoll end up developing your own code Me I wave at everyone dogs too and donrsquot give a second thought to the riders that donrsquot wave back But thatrsquos just me Yoursquoll have to work out your own code
Breaking is one of the most important things that you will learn to do on a motorcycle When we first learn to ride we are taught techniques to protect ourselves from crashing such as breaking shifting and countersteering But generally the most effective way to avoid an accident is through proper use of the brakes
The rear brake in particular is probably one of the least understood controls on a motorcycle Many riders donrsquot use the rear brake at all claiming that it doesnrsquot actually aid in slowing down or stopping the bike and say that it locks up the rear tire when trying to use it In fact most experts agree that a balanced use of both the front and rear brake is the most effective way of slowing or stopping a motorcycle
The rear brake also plays a huge role in adding stability to the bike when maneuvering
Because of the weight distribution on a motorcycle the braking balance of stopping power between the front and rear is 70 on the front and 30 on the rear This should tell you that if you donrsquot use the rear brake at all you are loosing 30 of the potential stopping power on your bike This could become a critical factor if you find yourself in trouble and have to try
and avoid an accident
Why does the rear brake lock up Well once again it has to do with weight distribution When you find yourself in a braking situation and start applying the brakes the geometry of the bike changes (due partly to the suspension) and much of the total weight (bike + rider) is transferred to the front This allows the rider to apply much more front brake than rear brake (the 7030 ratio)
Learning the finer points of your bikersquos braking performance is the key to keeping your bike in control It is a good idea to explore those limits in a safe environment
Practice repeated stops in an abandoned parking lot and yoursquoll start to get a feel for the amount of
effort that triggers tire slippage or rear tire lock-up
Try stopping with your front brake only then rear only and then a combination of both Once you become more familiar with your bikersquos brakes the sensations of weight transfer will start to feel more apparent and familiar That way yoursquoll be much more aware of the limits of your bike and yoursquoll be much better prepared in stopping

CAV To Hold AGM During ATLANTICADE (Summerside PE)
ndash The relationship started off by accident back in 2007 in
Moncton during the inaugural Atlanticade eventldquoI saw these guys who were hanging around
together with CAV crests on their vests and didnrsquot really know who they wererdquo says Dale Hicks festival founder and chairman Hicks began to connect the dots on the final day when the closing parade ended at the local veteranrsquos health care center and the CAV riders were very engaged with the vets ldquoSo I starting asking ndash who are these guys and what does CAV stand forrdquo
That was over seven years ago and now the relationship between Atlanticade and the Canadian Army Veterans is as strong a bond as you will find anywhere in the world of motorcycle events
ldquoOnce we became aware of who the CAV group was and what they represented I said well this group reflects the best of what it means to be Canadian so we certainly wanted to build a relationship with themrdquo recalls Hicks
Since then CAV has played a significant role in some form or fashion at each Atlanticade event The festival now has a
ldquoSupport the Troopsrdquo activity incorporated into the schedule each year where CAV plays a lead role In addition CAV will also be found leading parades such as the Confederation Bridge Cruise and the Parade of Iron Horses
In fact in 2011 Hicks was surprised and honored to be presented with an
honorary membership into the CAV organization at the closing awards breakfast at the Algonquin Hotel in St Andrews
ldquoYeah they caught me off guard with that and I certainly was humbled and honored by to be presented the crest by Trapperrdquo says Hicks ldquoI donrsquot feel worthy of wearing the crest but I do sport it proudly at certain times during Atlanticaderdquo
The unique bond between the two organizations continues for the upcoming 8th annual festival being held in Summerside PEI from June 27th to
Continued Next Page
(Atlanticade chairman Dale Hicks had just presented Trapper Cane with the annual ldquoExperienced Rider Awardrdquo
when Cane turned the tables by presenting Hicks with his honorary CAV membership during the 2011 event)
July 1st Recenty CAV founder Paul (Trapper) Cane announced the grouprsquos annual general meeting will take place in Summerside in conjunction with Atlanticade
ldquoAtlanticade brings great energy to all riders and our CAV members certainly appreciate the extra efforts put forth by Dalersquos team to give us some profile at the eventrdquo says Cane ldquoNo doubt it has been a great relationship between the two organizations and we hope it continues well into the futurerdquo
For his part Hicks says that Atlanticade is very proud to be able to host the CAV ndash AGM as part of the 2014 festival ldquoWe always have a good turnout of CAV members at our event but this will mean an additional boost in participants from across the country We hope we can make it a little special for them and something they will remember years down the roadrdquo

and take a step up Pretty soon everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted offAnd the moral ishellip Life is going to shovel dirt on you all kinds of dirt The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up Each of our troubles is a steppingstone We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping never giving up Shake it off and take a step up

Every now and again Hollywood takes a real-life story and does a remarkable job transforming what might be a heroic tale or an against all odds success story that leaves audiences captivated emotionally attached to some characters and highly
entertained Granted these types of movies donrsquot come along often but when they do people flock to the theatres in part I believe because there is something uplifting encouraging that comes from experiencing a ldquofeel goodrdquo true story
How often in life do we experience that kind of a rush when our heart-strings have been yanked by someone or some cause and we have followed our instinct to reach out a helping hand in one form or another
I have experienced motorcycle breakdowns where strangers would stop to help and in the course of conversation a friendship develops and the person doing the giving winds up leaving with the biggest pump It just feels good when we can make a difference Recently a total stranger covered the cost of my morning ldquofixrdquo as they paid for my Tim Hortonrsquos coffee Small move but it felt good for me and so in turn I want to do that for
somebody else So can we say that lsquogood worksrsquo or lsquomaking a differencersquo is contagious I think so
As a biker church pastor I get to hear first-hand about peoplersquos troubles and triumphs in life and one thing is for sure just as much as people like to talk about their trials and challenges they love to talk about the good things going on in their lives the happy times and frankly I see those people who take the time to enjoy what they have and make the effort to lift up others to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives just naturally attract others to themselves
In our ldquoOwnerrsquos Manualrdquo for life we read in Psalm 11824 ldquoThis is the day that the Lord has made let us rejoice and be glad in itrdquo
So there you have it be grateful for the day and be happy That will make a difference in the lives ofpeople around you

As we see in the conflicts that are brewing around this world of ours the power of the people to affect change is powerful
A small group of committed individuals can accomplish much
They can topple governments or back them up against a wall
The on highway motorcycle community in Canada is rapidly approaching 1 million registered motorcycles
Every weekend you will see thousands of us gathered at various events across our respective provinces and territories always riding and working for charities that mean something to us that hit
home for usVery seldom however do you see this community
rally around itself and its own issues outside of riders we lovecare about needing help
As we get prepared for the 2014 riding season we as riders are going to face a variety of issues Some will affect all of us other issues will only affect certain riders
Insurance is an issue that affects us all as are the condition of the highways in this country So is distracted driving
As a rider who has ridden across this great land of ours I can tell you road maintenance is also an issue in the majority of regions
Some of us will experience police harassment others will ride uninterrupted
Some of us will experience headaches in communities with Motorcycle Only Noise Bylaws others will never be detained or bothered
Some of us will have great experiences at dealerships and others not so much
Some of us will experience discrimination and be turned away from establishments because of how we dress and what we ride others will experience none of that
This summer when you experience issues do something about it
Remember the POWER OF THE PEOPLEDocument it Photos videos and written
accounts of the situations you encounterThen if you live in a provinceterritory with a
Riders Rights Organization like BCCOM ABATE BRO Coalition of Manitoba Motorcycle Groups
RAGE or the newly formed Atlantic Motorcycle Coalition get that information into them so that they have something concrete to work with
They canrsquot help you or anyone else unless YOU give them something to work with
If you are in a province where there is no collective to represent your voice like in Alberta NWT YT - the only three regions without a provincialterritorial lobbying voice then yoursquoll really want to document things well especially if it involves court and lawyers If it is about roadways and other concerns you can at least present your MLA with the information
Every rider who experiences something of a discomforting nature should stand up and say something do something so that the others who come after you might not have to experience the same thing
If you arenrsquot a member of your local riders rights coalition consider becoming one
Our voice counts be it as an individual taxpayer or in a collective with many voices united but they only count when the persons we are discussing our
situation with can actually do something about itWhining and not taking the right actions do
nothing to alleviate problems - so this summer get a camera for your motorcycle or helmet have a note pad and a pen in a tool pouch or jacket pocket and remember the information you take down and share with the right people will do some good if not today somewhere down the road
Thatrsquos whatrsquos on my mind today what are your thoughts on the topic of the Power of the People
Have a great day and if you are one of the lucky ones who is riding today please remember to ride like everyone around you is blind and cannot see you
Until next week I am your editor Belt Drive Betty

Art amp The Motorcycle My Name Milton BeginMake Harley DavidsonYear 1993Title ldquoFresh Paint n Old LeatherrdquoArtist Jeremy Ferguson
The tragedy of the space shuttle Challenger is what gave me the idea of the paint scheme I knew I wanted to keep the blue color on the bike After all I as well as the people who know me have always referred to the bike as Olrsquo Blue Flames and skulls have been well overdone so it came to me scorched paint and steel Must have been what the shuttle was going thru for that split second in the early stage of re-entry
The bike was shipped out of Milwaukee in 1993 I rode it to Milwaukee in 2003 for the 100th Anniversary Ride Home Celebration for Harley Davidson Plans were made to ride it home again in 2013 for the 110th Anniversary Fresh paint was in order Hence the name Fresh Paint n Old Leather I have kept and still ride with the same leather for all too many years Although you canrsquot see many of the details in the picture Jeremy scratched in the dates after it was painted onto the bottom of the front fender It looks awesome because Jeremy is a talented individual
If I am able I will ride home again in 2023 The bike will undoubtedly make it

Light travels faster than sound This is why some people appear
No idea quite Where you are exactly nor do you know where yet you need to be
You feel as tossed as tumultuously as leaves in the wind
Your thoughts are as
turbulent amp dangerous as the moods of a teenagerYou are almost certain you are going in an
aimless direction with your eyes closed but your hands refuse to relinquish their grips
There is a time when the mind gleefully spins events amp memories into painful brutal tellings amp the tears dry upon your cheeks as fast as the wind can touch them leaving no trace
This is the time when intelligent rationale simply fails amp pure raw emotion takes over
Coherent thought is impossibleSpeech is non-existentThe primal need to fight- flee or fuck has kicked
into overdrive amp so with the flick of a thumb you opt for the fastest although not necessarily Wisest course of action amp race away from your demons at breakneck speed almost daring them to catch you
And the racechase is onMile after mile flashes past beneath you amp you
handle the bike as easily as breathing There are times when you ldquobecome onerdquo with it amp this is surely that time
It is pure sensation the adrenalin rush of exhilaration that isnrsquot noticed
The passage of time on a stopwatch held by the hands of the Gods
Death might ride a pale horse but you have a Harley

On the sixth day God turned to Archangel Gabriel and said Today
I am going to create a land called Canada It will be a land of outstanding natural beauty It shall have tall majestic mountains full of mountain goats and eagles beautiful sparkling lakes bountiful with bass and trout forests full of elk and moose high cliffs over-looking sandy beaches with an abundance of sea life and rivers stocked with salmon
God continued
I shall make the land rich in resources so as to make the inhabitants prosper I shall call these inhabitants Canadians and they shall be known as the most friendly people on the earth
But Lord asked Gabriel dont you think you are being too generous to these Canadians
Not really replied GodJust wait and see the winters I am going to give

While the boy and his father were watching with amazement a fat old lady in a wheel chair rolled up to the moving walls and pressed a button The walls opened and the lady rolled between them into a small room The walls closed and the boy and his father watched the small circular numbers above the walls light up sequentially They continued to watch until it reached the last number and then the numbers began to light in the reverse order Then the walls opened up again and a gorgeous voluptuous 24-year-old blonde woman stepped out The father not taking his eyes off the young woman said quietly to his son

The Touch of a healerAn Irishman in a wheelchair entered a restaurant
one afternoon and asked the waitress for a cup of coffee The Irishman looked across the restaurant and asked Is that Jesus sitting over there The waitress nodded yes so the Irishman told her to give Jesus a cup of coffee on him
The next patron to come in was an Englishman with a hunched back He shuffled over to a booth painfully sat down and asked for a cup of hot tea He also glanced across the restaurant and asked Is that Jesus over there The waitress nodded so the Englishman said to give Jesus a cup of hot tea my treat
The third patron to come into the restaurant was a Redneck on crutches He hobbled over to a booth sat down and hollered Hey there sweet thang Hows about gettin me a cold glass of Coke He too looked across the restaurant and asked Is that
Gods boy over there The waitress once again nodded that it was so the Redneck said to give Jesus a cold glass of Coke on my bill
As Jesus got up to leave he passed by the Irishman touched him and said For your kindness you are healed The Irishman felt the strength come back to his legs got up and danced a jig right out the door
Jesus also passed by the Englishman touched him and said For your kindness you are healed The Englishman felt his back straightening up and he raised his hands praised the Lord and did a series of back flips out the door
Then Jesus walked up to the Redneck
The Redneck jumped up and yelled ldquoDonrsquot touch me Irsquom drawinrsquo disabilityrdquo
The most important thing for all motorcycle riders and vehicle drivers in Saskatchewan right now is standing-up and getting YOUR voice heardhellipand COUNTED
When it comes to the Saskatchewan Rate Review process each and every voice matters no matter how big no matter how small Every voice every opinion matters Use this process to make YOUR VOICE COUNT BEFORE April 28 2014 After thathellipit is too late
RAGE is here to continue what we started so successfully last year To continue to lobby SGI and the Provincial Government to put real and long-term public policy forward to end the continuous cycle of rate increases being implemented to
cover up escalating high-risk driving behaviour in Saskatchewan In a nutshell to stop just raising rates and not much else
If you parked a vehicle on the street downtown (any type of vehicle) and just left it there till it caused an accident How long would it take for that vehicle to be at-fault for causing one That is if it wasnrsquot stolen or vandalized first
Now if a person comes along gets into that same vehicle and drives off looking at their cellphone and texting How long
If it is a motorcycle and a person who just wrote their learners with zero experience (other than maybe a ride around the block) comes along gets on and rides off into traffic How long
The great thing about what we are putting forward is that it addresses ALL driver behavior Not vehicles but those who drive them ALL of us
You as a motorcycle and vehicle owner need to be speaking up this yearhellipin Saskatchewan you are more than likely both Making sure YOUR voice
Stand Up and Be Counted

RAGE Dare to Know
What your body needs to heal itself
The BodyTalk Systemwith Practitioner Bev Groot
To book an appointment or find out more about the BodyTalk System call
gets counted To stop the endless cycle of just raising rates with not much else
This will allow RAGE to have a strong voice when it comes to the Personal Injury Insurance Review happening later this year Remember YOUR ldquoa-la-carterdquo recommendation has been approved by government
To continue to fight for mandatory safety training (Yes RAGE has always wanted this to be mandatory)
To continue to work with SGI on the things they are already implementing as a result of RAGE and ALL YOUR VOICES
YOUR VOICEno matter what your messageMATTERS to RAGE
Without all YOUR voicesindividuallyeach counting as 1UNITED into manyhellipSGI will simply not listen
Since the 1980rsquos and up until last yearvery few voices were raised to be counted during the Rate Review Process SGI pretty much did what they wantedthen last year BAM
For years SGI shut out anyone any group many efforts by the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel and the Provincial Government for any changeswhyNO UNITED VOICES Yes they brought in the 3 year MGDL in 2011 However they didnrsquot work with the groups involved past initial consultations SGI came to their own conclusions (no one could agree) and implemented what they
wanted SGI then stopped returning calls and continued to increase rates in 2012 and 2013
Even the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel has had difficulty getting the information they need from SGI to make informed decisions
Is it little wonder that the Minister Responsible for SGI felt she didnrsquot have to listen to the ldquosuggestionrdquo of the Rate Review Panel After all they never really had in previous years
Hammering us with another 15 increase could have been meant to knock us off our motorcycles and give up After all that hard workhellipand yet another increase Irsquom betting they expected us to cry in our coffee about how unfair they are about how they just do want they want anyway how we should just privatize and then do nothing more than that
Now that might have workedhellipin the past That is until last year the first time since the 1980rsquos when RAGE worked hard to organize YOUR voices YOU each used your own voices You each counted Then RAGE presented a proposal that took EACH ONE and MADE THEM COUNT as a UNITED VOICE
Then we did the unthinkablehellipWE STAYED We werenrsquot just there for 3 meetings WE
were 100 ALL INhellipFOR YOU To make sure YOUR VOICES continued to count RAGE continued to work with SGI on the wording for the recommendations put forward providing information for awareness sharing the ldquoCount Your Motorcyclerdquo game and much more
When it comes right down to it YOUR opinions and comments should matter to YOU IT does not matter if you donrsquot agree with the overall message of RAGE or your local riding club group
association coffee groupwhatever WHAT MATTERSis YOU getting YOUR VOICE
heard YOU canrsquot leave it up to everyone else You canrsquot assume anyone else is going to do this for YOU WE ALL MUST FIGHT
The worst thing you can do is nothing THAT is even worse than complaining and doing nothing Complaincomplain to your hearts contentto the Sask Rate Review Panel
THEN go have coffeeIf you canrsquot make it to the meeting in person
please at the very least contact the Rate Review Panel with YOUR voice
Each of our own voices count as 1 in this processjust as the voice of RAGE only counts as 1 We know SGI only listens when there are MANY following a UNITED theme
YOU can get YOUR voice heardand COUNTEDby submitting your comments regarding the application by April 28 2014 using any of the following methods

After a magnificent breakfast I started loading up my bike and it wasnrsquot long before the gang arrived to come take me sightseeing
Our first stop of the day after topping up our tanks was at the look out of Lac Saint Jean
From here you truly get a sense of how immense this lake is
We took some time to admire the view and chat about the plans for the rest of the day
Our next stop was to be the Camp Musical a purely French speaking musical camp for students to come and immerse themselves in the culture of the region and the music that is their passion
The camp has numerous housing units and the most incredible concert hall The Raymond Tremblay concert hall has 320 seats 2 piano rooms a bistro terrace and exhibition hall The Egyptian goddess Hathor is symbolized here and she represents happiness joy and music
The acoustics even when you are just speaking
well stunning would be the word to describe the sound quality
Everything about this 40-year-old institute screams creativity We went up to the gazebo on the observation deck and took in the panorama Breathtakingly beautiful you can see why this region inspires music and lyrics
After our tour of the camp was done we headed out towards the Village Historique Val-Jalbert Canadarsquos BEST preserved Ghost Town I couldnrsquot wait
The ride from the Camp Musical to Val-Jalbert which is just northwest of Chambord took about 30 minutes It was a wee bit overcast but the temperature was perfect for riding
When we arrived at Val-Jalbert we headed into the gorgeous visitor information centre and were assigned a tour guide named Michelle Pelletier Michelle turned out to be an amazing tour guide
She spoke in both French and English easily and made all of us feel so welcome

We got in an electric cart and began our tour with Michelle telling us about the history of this town and why it is such a significant tourism and historical attraction
You see this town was the dream of one man Damase Jalbert He was the founder of the Ouiatchouan Pulp Company that built a pulp mill
here The town he founded for his employees started out as Saint-Georges-de-Ouiatchouan named for the river and the falls that powered the mill The name was changed to Val-Jalbert in 1913 in honor of the man whose dream it was
Damase wanted to build the best company town and provide his employees with a rarified quality of living
He died suddenly three years after opening the mill The mill faced a cash shortage and was bought by American shareholders in 1904 In 1909 the Chicoutimi Pulp Company bought it
From 1909 to 1922 the village flourished and was the envy of many surrounding communities
The company town offered employees electricity and running water in their homes a good 25 years before anyone else in Quebec had power
In 1923 the demand for mechanical pulp began to fall and by 1924 most of the workers had been laid off
On August 13th 1927 all operations ceased and over the next few years the village became abandoned
In 1942 the government took the property back for non-payment of taxes and in 1970 Val-Jalbert had new life breathed into it as a tourist attraction In recent years the government of Quebec has spent 19+ million dollars to upgrade and improve the visitors information centre put in a glass observation deck and a whole host of other improvements
Val-Jalbert must have been the most amazing town in the region in its day because this place is utterly amazing today The Quebec government has spent a lot of money and time restoring this
place to preserve the history and they have done an incredible job
Our first stop on the tour was the convent school where we met ldquoMother Superiorrdquo who took us through the school and answered our questions She was stern but I think there was a glint of mischief in her eyes as she ldquodisciplinedrdquo us on proper etiquette
There was the most amazing art display in
one room and in another the historical timeline of the residents of Val-Jalbert to take in The antiques and furnishings truly made you feel you were stuck in a time warp
After touring the school we headed towards the post office The ldquopostmistressrdquo was this chatty little gal that had us peeing ourselves we were laughing so hard It was pretty cool to see the old stamps and the various bits of equipment of the day
We walked up the street to take a tour of the restored duplexes that line the main street You have to see these places to truly appreciate them Imagine 1910 and you can flip a switch and have lights turn a tap and have water flush a toilet and not have to walk to the outhouse
These company houses were so well built and the people who lived here were fiercely loyal to the company that treated them so well
From the duplexes we went to the general store where we ran into the ldquoMayorrdquo the only person in town to have a car The general store offers up everything a visitor could need plus acts as a museum with lots of interesting period pieces on display
Michelle had gotten keys to show us the duplexes that have been upgraded and make up the 4 star accommodations offered here
We walked across the street and were taken to view to the most amazing hotel rooms
Rustic and yet modern these rooms are spacious well appointed and every one of them has unique little shadow boxes filled with antiques
All of the modern appliances Internet boxes and TV are all hidden in closets so that they are not visible It makes for a very appealing deacutecor
Although the rooms appear to only have one bed in the matter of a few moments Michelle had the
couch taken apart and the bed folded down out of the wall for a second bed
The bathrooms are absolute marvels with big tubs and glass showers
The parking for the hotel rooms is hidden behind a row of trees so that there is no real visual of anything modern on the face of things
From the hotel rooms we got back in the electric cart and headed towards the ldquoruinsrdquo Although many of the duplexes have been restored Michelle explained to us that the style of construction for the company houses had been changed and that
the newer houses had collapsed on themselves Some of the buildings are slated for restoration but many are too far-gone The streets they line are preserved so that one can walk by the ruins and get a feel for how large this town really was and how well laid out it was
Our next stop was the Mill Impressive is a good word to describe this place We had our lunch in the Old Mill Restaurant The food served here complimented the
atmosphere ndash IMPECCABLEThe chef Carl Murray has a great reputation that
he totally lives up toThe service
the food the atmosphere and the company were all top drawer
After our fabulous meal it was time to head to the tram and go experience the waterfalls
The ride up to the top gives you the most magnificent view of the region The Ouiatchouan Falls are some 65 feet higher than the Niagara Falls
and the power of them is palpable The rushing water is almost deafening as you walk out on to the glass observation deck
From the falls we walked down to the mill again and took in the most impressive interactive show I have ever experienced In the underbelly of the once abandoned mill amongst all of the monster gearing and shafts the lights go dim you feel the mist in the air and all of a sudden the walls become alive with characters from the original town and they take you through the historical timeline of the village and its people
It is absolutely captivating you become totally involved in the lives and the hardship of the villagers
The show signaled the end of our tour and Michelle took us back to the visitor information centre and sent us all off with gifts of blueberry jam and blueberry tea to remember our visit by
My bike had been acting up off and on and I had been keeping an eye out on a leak coming from the front of the engine The noise from the shifter region was becoming louder but I wasnrsquot experiencing any power loss so I kept an ear out and we kept riding
Our next stop was at the Cheddar Cheese Museum in Saint-Prime where a sweet young man took us on a tour
He showed us the old-fashioned way cheddar cheese was made and then we got to tour the museum portion of the factory 4 generations of the family Perron have made cheddar cheese here
The museum has over 650 artifacts that involve the familyrsquos history in cheese making including the stamps and other machinery used in exporting the cheese
The Cheddar Cheese Museum offers interactive displays and hosts several workshops on the art of making cheddar Upstairs you can view the family home of the Perronrsquos and see all of the period specific furnishings
Along with guided tours you can also sample the various types of cheddar cheese which we did and oh my I have never tasted cheddar that was so smooth and rich
After thanking our young guide for the fabulous tour we headed off
We stopped at Tim Hortonrsquos for a coffee and sitting out on the curb in front of my bike I could see the leak was getting worse I was very concerned and asked if there was a shop nearby where I could at least check the oil level in my primary
Rejean talked to one of the local riders Denis AKA Tarte au Sucre (Sweet Pie) and he took us to Carl Tremblayrsquos shop Carl is a mechanic that many here swear by His rates are far cheaper than the dealerships and every rider in the region says hersquos a guru He took the primary apart and sure
enough discovered that the compensating sprocket was dead and the stator was leaking With parts ordered and Rejeanrsquos wife going to the Harley shop to pick them up Francine Lynne Rejean and Denis rode me to my hotel the Motel Chutes des Pegraveres in Dolbeau-Mistassini My gear and luggage was distributed over three of the four bikes
By the time we got in it was dark and everyone had to head home I enjoyed a wonderful steak for supper and then headed off to my beautiful room and after a boiling hot pounding shower I climbed into the queen-sized bed and with the sound of the falls lulling me to sleep
And thatrsquos where I will leave you until next weekhellipBelt Drive Betty

1 - Yoursquoll Become a Better DriverTherersquos no doubt that riding a motorcycle has its
benefits especially when it comes to driving a car Riding a motorcycle teaches you to look out for people who are trying to kill you yoursquoll see hazards sooner and yoursquoll end up with Ninja-like machine control So when it comes to driving yoursquoll put all that to work and be a cut above the rest Hopefully
2 - Everyone Wants To Talk To YouIt really doesnrsquot matter what kind of motorcycle
you ride yoursquoll find middle-aged men stare at you and your bike with a dreamy lust before giving you an unwanted compliment Chances are theyrsquoll have no idea what the bike is either
Choose a classic or even worse a modern classic and yoursquoll become a magnet for old men who have the knack of being able to have a conversation with you without you needing to add any input Yoursquoll reach for your helmet on more than one occasion but not be able to put in on and leave because theyrsquoll ask you a question when you try Yoursquoll be subjected to questions about your
bike that you donrsquot know the answer to or even care about
The conversation will go something like this Is that a Triumph I had a Triumph once (followed by 10 minutes of ldquoback in my day rdquo)
3 - When You Say Yoursquore A Biker This Is The First Image That
Comes To Peoplehellip
5 Things They Never Told You About Becoming A Bikerby Robert Whaley NW Ontario Motorcycling
You could be a nice guy you could have something that resembles a career you could do the occasional BBQ it doesnrsquot matter When you mention to anyone at a party that yoursquove got a motorcycle a picture of this guy will pop into their head Then as you explain that you donrsquot ride a cruiser and yoursquove got a sportsbike theyrsquoll just think yoursquore speaking Greek and will reevaluate you as some sort of nut job who tries to kill himself on the highways Itrsquos a no-win
4 - Bees and Other Flying Things Will Start To Scare You
Anything flying will scare you When yoursquore sitting around at a family BBQ and everyone starts going mental the moment a bee or a wasp arrives on the scene you sit there perfectly calm and wonder what all the fuss is about
However - when yoursquore on a bike itrsquos a different story There you are riding along on a nice sunny day with your visor up enjoying the countryside and the winding road in front of you
Then you spot it 50 metres away a large insect looks like its stopped going about its daily business and itrsquos homing in at you instead Before you can do anything about it it goes THHHHHWAP right on your cheek Close but luckily it didnrsquot get you in the eye Then you panic the little bastardrsquos still in your helmet You insert a clumsy leather-clad finger and try and flick whatever it is away but probably end up pissing it off even further Then you crank on the brakes and perform the worldrsquos fastest lid removal followed by a little bit of a flappy-armed dance
5 - You Canrsquot Figure Out Who To Wave ToWhen you get a motorcycle you become part of a
club Itrsquos a club no biker really talks about but yoursquore in it now and yoursquore not allowed to leave Ever When you first pass your test yoursquoll wave at anyone and everyone If yoursquore heading down a road and a dog looks at you the right way yoursquoll probably wave at him too
Unfortunately this will change There are no set rules as to how it will change but yoursquoll end up developing your own code Me I wave at everyone dogs too and donrsquot give a second thought to the riders that donrsquot wave back But thatrsquos just me Yoursquoll have to work out your own code
Breaking is one of the most important things that you will learn to do on a motorcycle When we first learn to ride we are taught techniques to protect ourselves from crashing such as breaking shifting and countersteering But generally the most effective way to avoid an accident is through proper use of the brakes
The rear brake in particular is probably one of the least understood controls on a motorcycle Many riders donrsquot use the rear brake at all claiming that it doesnrsquot actually aid in slowing down or stopping the bike and say that it locks up the rear tire when trying to use it In fact most experts agree that a balanced use of both the front and rear brake is the most effective way of slowing or stopping a motorcycle
The rear brake also plays a huge role in adding stability to the bike when maneuvering
Because of the weight distribution on a motorcycle the braking balance of stopping power between the front and rear is 70 on the front and 30 on the rear This should tell you that if you donrsquot use the rear brake at all you are loosing 30 of the potential stopping power on your bike This could become a critical factor if you find yourself in trouble and have to try
and avoid an accident
Why does the rear brake lock up Well once again it has to do with weight distribution When you find yourself in a braking situation and start applying the brakes the geometry of the bike changes (due partly to the suspension) and much of the total weight (bike + rider) is transferred to the front This allows the rider to apply much more front brake than rear brake (the 7030 ratio)
Learning the finer points of your bikersquos braking performance is the key to keeping your bike in control It is a good idea to explore those limits in a safe environment
Practice repeated stops in an abandoned parking lot and yoursquoll start to get a feel for the amount of
effort that triggers tire slippage or rear tire lock-up
Try stopping with your front brake only then rear only and then a combination of both Once you become more familiar with your bikersquos brakes the sensations of weight transfer will start to feel more apparent and familiar That way yoursquoll be much more aware of the limits of your bike and yoursquoll be much better prepared in stopping

CAV To Hold AGM During ATLANTICADE (Summerside PE)
ndash The relationship started off by accident back in 2007 in
Moncton during the inaugural Atlanticade eventldquoI saw these guys who were hanging around
together with CAV crests on their vests and didnrsquot really know who they wererdquo says Dale Hicks festival founder and chairman Hicks began to connect the dots on the final day when the closing parade ended at the local veteranrsquos health care center and the CAV riders were very engaged with the vets ldquoSo I starting asking ndash who are these guys and what does CAV stand forrdquo
That was over seven years ago and now the relationship between Atlanticade and the Canadian Army Veterans is as strong a bond as you will find anywhere in the world of motorcycle events
ldquoOnce we became aware of who the CAV group was and what they represented I said well this group reflects the best of what it means to be Canadian so we certainly wanted to build a relationship with themrdquo recalls Hicks
Since then CAV has played a significant role in some form or fashion at each Atlanticade event The festival now has a
ldquoSupport the Troopsrdquo activity incorporated into the schedule each year where CAV plays a lead role In addition CAV will also be found leading parades such as the Confederation Bridge Cruise and the Parade of Iron Horses
In fact in 2011 Hicks was surprised and honored to be presented with an
honorary membership into the CAV organization at the closing awards breakfast at the Algonquin Hotel in St Andrews
ldquoYeah they caught me off guard with that and I certainly was humbled and honored by to be presented the crest by Trapperrdquo says Hicks ldquoI donrsquot feel worthy of wearing the crest but I do sport it proudly at certain times during Atlanticaderdquo
The unique bond between the two organizations continues for the upcoming 8th annual festival being held in Summerside PEI from June 27th to
Continued Next Page
(Atlanticade chairman Dale Hicks had just presented Trapper Cane with the annual ldquoExperienced Rider Awardrdquo
when Cane turned the tables by presenting Hicks with his honorary CAV membership during the 2011 event)
July 1st Recenty CAV founder Paul (Trapper) Cane announced the grouprsquos annual general meeting will take place in Summerside in conjunction with Atlanticade
ldquoAtlanticade brings great energy to all riders and our CAV members certainly appreciate the extra efforts put forth by Dalersquos team to give us some profile at the eventrdquo says Cane ldquoNo doubt it has been a great relationship between the two organizations and we hope it continues well into the futurerdquo
For his part Hicks says that Atlanticade is very proud to be able to host the CAV ndash AGM as part of the 2014 festival ldquoWe always have a good turnout of CAV members at our event but this will mean an additional boost in participants from across the country We hope we can make it a little special for them and something they will remember years down the roadrdquo

and take a step up Pretty soon everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted offAnd the moral ishellip Life is going to shovel dirt on you all kinds of dirt The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up Each of our troubles is a steppingstone We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping never giving up Shake it off and take a step up

Every now and again Hollywood takes a real-life story and does a remarkable job transforming what might be a heroic tale or an against all odds success story that leaves audiences captivated emotionally attached to some characters and highly
entertained Granted these types of movies donrsquot come along often but when they do people flock to the theatres in part I believe because there is something uplifting encouraging that comes from experiencing a ldquofeel goodrdquo true story
How often in life do we experience that kind of a rush when our heart-strings have been yanked by someone or some cause and we have followed our instinct to reach out a helping hand in one form or another
I have experienced motorcycle breakdowns where strangers would stop to help and in the course of conversation a friendship develops and the person doing the giving winds up leaving with the biggest pump It just feels good when we can make a difference Recently a total stranger covered the cost of my morning ldquofixrdquo as they paid for my Tim Hortonrsquos coffee Small move but it felt good for me and so in turn I want to do that for
somebody else So can we say that lsquogood worksrsquo or lsquomaking a differencersquo is contagious I think so
As a biker church pastor I get to hear first-hand about peoplersquos troubles and triumphs in life and one thing is for sure just as much as people like to talk about their trials and challenges they love to talk about the good things going on in their lives the happy times and frankly I see those people who take the time to enjoy what they have and make the effort to lift up others to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives just naturally attract others to themselves
In our ldquoOwnerrsquos Manualrdquo for life we read in Psalm 11824 ldquoThis is the day that the Lord has made let us rejoice and be glad in itrdquo
So there you have it be grateful for the day and be happy That will make a difference in the lives ofpeople around you

As we see in the conflicts that are brewing around this world of ours the power of the people to affect change is powerful
A small group of committed individuals can accomplish much
They can topple governments or back them up against a wall
The on highway motorcycle community in Canada is rapidly approaching 1 million registered motorcycles
Every weekend you will see thousands of us gathered at various events across our respective provinces and territories always riding and working for charities that mean something to us that hit
home for usVery seldom however do you see this community
rally around itself and its own issues outside of riders we lovecare about needing help
As we get prepared for the 2014 riding season we as riders are going to face a variety of issues Some will affect all of us other issues will only affect certain riders
Insurance is an issue that affects us all as are the condition of the highways in this country So is distracted driving
As a rider who has ridden across this great land of ours I can tell you road maintenance is also an issue in the majority of regions
Some of us will experience police harassment others will ride uninterrupted
Some of us will experience headaches in communities with Motorcycle Only Noise Bylaws others will never be detained or bothered
Some of us will have great experiences at dealerships and others not so much
Some of us will experience discrimination and be turned away from establishments because of how we dress and what we ride others will experience none of that
This summer when you experience issues do something about it
Remember the POWER OF THE PEOPLEDocument it Photos videos and written
accounts of the situations you encounterThen if you live in a provinceterritory with a
Riders Rights Organization like BCCOM ABATE BRO Coalition of Manitoba Motorcycle Groups
RAGE or the newly formed Atlantic Motorcycle Coalition get that information into them so that they have something concrete to work with
They canrsquot help you or anyone else unless YOU give them something to work with
If you are in a province where there is no collective to represent your voice like in Alberta NWT YT - the only three regions without a provincialterritorial lobbying voice then yoursquoll really want to document things well especially if it involves court and lawyers If it is about roadways and other concerns you can at least present your MLA with the information
Every rider who experiences something of a discomforting nature should stand up and say something do something so that the others who come after you might not have to experience the same thing
If you arenrsquot a member of your local riders rights coalition consider becoming one
Our voice counts be it as an individual taxpayer or in a collective with many voices united but they only count when the persons we are discussing our
situation with can actually do something about itWhining and not taking the right actions do
nothing to alleviate problems - so this summer get a camera for your motorcycle or helmet have a note pad and a pen in a tool pouch or jacket pocket and remember the information you take down and share with the right people will do some good if not today somewhere down the road
Thatrsquos whatrsquos on my mind today what are your thoughts on the topic of the Power of the People
Have a great day and if you are one of the lucky ones who is riding today please remember to ride like everyone around you is blind and cannot see you
Until next week I am your editor Belt Drive Betty

Art amp The Motorcycle My Name Milton BeginMake Harley DavidsonYear 1993Title ldquoFresh Paint n Old LeatherrdquoArtist Jeremy Ferguson
The tragedy of the space shuttle Challenger is what gave me the idea of the paint scheme I knew I wanted to keep the blue color on the bike After all I as well as the people who know me have always referred to the bike as Olrsquo Blue Flames and skulls have been well overdone so it came to me scorched paint and steel Must have been what the shuttle was going thru for that split second in the early stage of re-entry
The bike was shipped out of Milwaukee in 1993 I rode it to Milwaukee in 2003 for the 100th Anniversary Ride Home Celebration for Harley Davidson Plans were made to ride it home again in 2013 for the 110th Anniversary Fresh paint was in order Hence the name Fresh Paint n Old Leather I have kept and still ride with the same leather for all too many years Although you canrsquot see many of the details in the picture Jeremy scratched in the dates after it was painted onto the bottom of the front fender It looks awesome because Jeremy is a talented individual
If I am able I will ride home again in 2023 The bike will undoubtedly make it

Light travels faster than sound This is why some people appear
No idea quite Where you are exactly nor do you know where yet you need to be
You feel as tossed as tumultuously as leaves in the wind
Your thoughts are as
turbulent amp dangerous as the moods of a teenagerYou are almost certain you are going in an
aimless direction with your eyes closed but your hands refuse to relinquish their grips
There is a time when the mind gleefully spins events amp memories into painful brutal tellings amp the tears dry upon your cheeks as fast as the wind can touch them leaving no trace
This is the time when intelligent rationale simply fails amp pure raw emotion takes over
Coherent thought is impossibleSpeech is non-existentThe primal need to fight- flee or fuck has kicked
into overdrive amp so with the flick of a thumb you opt for the fastest although not necessarily Wisest course of action amp race away from your demons at breakneck speed almost daring them to catch you
And the racechase is onMile after mile flashes past beneath you amp you
handle the bike as easily as breathing There are times when you ldquobecome onerdquo with it amp this is surely that time
It is pure sensation the adrenalin rush of exhilaration that isnrsquot noticed
The passage of time on a stopwatch held by the hands of the Gods
Death might ride a pale horse but you have a Harley
And yet at some point there is the indescribable

On the sixth day God turned to Archangel Gabriel and said Today
I am going to create a land called Canada It will be a land of outstanding natural beauty It shall have tall majestic mountains full of mountain goats and eagles beautiful sparkling lakes bountiful with bass and trout forests full of elk and moose high cliffs over-looking sandy beaches with an abundance of sea life and rivers stocked with salmon
God continued
I shall make the land rich in resources so as to make the inhabitants prosper I shall call these inhabitants Canadians and they shall be known as the most friendly people on the earth
But Lord asked Gabriel dont you think you are being too generous to these Canadians
Not really replied GodJust wait and see the winters I am going to give

While the boy and his father were watching with amazement a fat old lady in a wheel chair rolled up to the moving walls and pressed a button The walls opened and the lady rolled between them into a small room The walls closed and the boy and his father watched the small circular numbers above the walls light up sequentially They continued to watch until it reached the last number and then the numbers began to light in the reverse order Then the walls opened up again and a gorgeous voluptuous 24-year-old blonde woman stepped out The father not taking his eyes off the young woman said quietly to his son

The Touch of a healerAn Irishman in a wheelchair entered a restaurant
one afternoon and asked the waitress for a cup of coffee The Irishman looked across the restaurant and asked Is that Jesus sitting over there The waitress nodded yes so the Irishman told her to give Jesus a cup of coffee on him
The next patron to come in was an Englishman with a hunched back He shuffled over to a booth painfully sat down and asked for a cup of hot tea He also glanced across the restaurant and asked Is that Jesus over there The waitress nodded so the Englishman said to give Jesus a cup of hot tea my treat
The third patron to come into the restaurant was a Redneck on crutches He hobbled over to a booth sat down and hollered Hey there sweet thang Hows about gettin me a cold glass of Coke He too looked across the restaurant and asked Is that
Gods boy over there The waitress once again nodded that it was so the Redneck said to give Jesus a cold glass of Coke on my bill
As Jesus got up to leave he passed by the Irishman touched him and said For your kindness you are healed The Irishman felt the strength come back to his legs got up and danced a jig right out the door
Jesus also passed by the Englishman touched him and said For your kindness you are healed The Englishman felt his back straightening up and he raised his hands praised the Lord and did a series of back flips out the door
Then Jesus walked up to the Redneck
The Redneck jumped up and yelled ldquoDonrsquot touch me Irsquom drawinrsquo disabilityrdquo
The most important thing for all motorcycle riders and vehicle drivers in Saskatchewan right now is standing-up and getting YOUR voice heardhellipand COUNTED
When it comes to the Saskatchewan Rate Review process each and every voice matters no matter how big no matter how small Every voice every opinion matters Use this process to make YOUR VOICE COUNT BEFORE April 28 2014 After thathellipit is too late
RAGE is here to continue what we started so successfully last year To continue to lobby SGI and the Provincial Government to put real and long-term public policy forward to end the continuous cycle of rate increases being implemented to
cover up escalating high-risk driving behaviour in Saskatchewan In a nutshell to stop just raising rates and not much else
If you parked a vehicle on the street downtown (any type of vehicle) and just left it there till it caused an accident How long would it take for that vehicle to be at-fault for causing one That is if it wasnrsquot stolen or vandalized first
Now if a person comes along gets into that same vehicle and drives off looking at their cellphone and texting How long
If it is a motorcycle and a person who just wrote their learners with zero experience (other than maybe a ride around the block) comes along gets on and rides off into traffic How long
The great thing about what we are putting forward is that it addresses ALL driver behavior Not vehicles but those who drive them ALL of us
You as a motorcycle and vehicle owner need to be speaking up this yearhellipin Saskatchewan you are more than likely both Making sure YOUR voice
Stand Up and Be Counted

RAGE Dare to Know
What your body needs to heal itself
The BodyTalk Systemwith Practitioner Bev Groot
To book an appointment or find out more about the BodyTalk System call
gets counted To stop the endless cycle of just raising rates with not much else
This will allow RAGE to have a strong voice when it comes to the Personal Injury Insurance Review happening later this year Remember YOUR ldquoa-la-carterdquo recommendation has been approved by government
To continue to fight for mandatory safety training (Yes RAGE has always wanted this to be mandatory)
To continue to work with SGI on the things they are already implementing as a result of RAGE and ALL YOUR VOICES
YOUR VOICEno matter what your messageMATTERS to RAGE
Without all YOUR voicesindividuallyeach counting as 1UNITED into manyhellipSGI will simply not listen
Since the 1980rsquos and up until last yearvery few voices were raised to be counted during the Rate Review Process SGI pretty much did what they wantedthen last year BAM
For years SGI shut out anyone any group many efforts by the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel and the Provincial Government for any changeswhyNO UNITED VOICES Yes they brought in the 3 year MGDL in 2011 However they didnrsquot work with the groups involved past initial consultations SGI came to their own conclusions (no one could agree) and implemented what they
wanted SGI then stopped returning calls and continued to increase rates in 2012 and 2013
Even the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel has had difficulty getting the information they need from SGI to make informed decisions
Is it little wonder that the Minister Responsible for SGI felt she didnrsquot have to listen to the ldquosuggestionrdquo of the Rate Review Panel After all they never really had in previous years
Hammering us with another 15 increase could have been meant to knock us off our motorcycles and give up After all that hard workhellipand yet another increase Irsquom betting they expected us to cry in our coffee about how unfair they are about how they just do want they want anyway how we should just privatize and then do nothing more than that
Now that might have workedhellipin the past That is until last year the first time since the 1980rsquos when RAGE worked hard to organize YOUR voices YOU each used your own voices You each counted Then RAGE presented a proposal that took EACH ONE and MADE THEM COUNT as a UNITED VOICE
Then we did the unthinkablehellipWE STAYED We werenrsquot just there for 3 meetings WE
were 100 ALL INhellipFOR YOU To make sure YOUR VOICES continued to count RAGE continued to work with SGI on the wording for the recommendations put forward providing information for awareness sharing the ldquoCount Your Motorcyclerdquo game and much more
When it comes right down to it YOUR opinions and comments should matter to YOU IT does not matter if you donrsquot agree with the overall message of RAGE or your local riding club group
association coffee groupwhatever WHAT MATTERSis YOU getting YOUR VOICE
heard YOU canrsquot leave it up to everyone else You canrsquot assume anyone else is going to do this for YOU WE ALL MUST FIGHT
The worst thing you can do is nothing THAT is even worse than complaining and doing nothing Complaincomplain to your hearts contentto the Sask Rate Review Panel
THEN go have coffeeIf you canrsquot make it to the meeting in person
please at the very least contact the Rate Review Panel with YOUR voice
Each of our own voices count as 1 in this processjust as the voice of RAGE only counts as 1 We know SGI only listens when there are MANY following a UNITED theme
YOU can get YOUR voice heardand COUNTEDby submitting your comments regarding the application by April 28 2014 using any of the following methods

After a magnificent breakfast I started loading up my bike and it wasnrsquot long before the gang arrived to come take me sightseeing
Our first stop of the day after topping up our tanks was at the look out of Lac Saint Jean
From here you truly get a sense of how immense this lake is
We took some time to admire the view and chat about the plans for the rest of the day
Our next stop was to be the Camp Musical a purely French speaking musical camp for students to come and immerse themselves in the culture of the region and the music that is their passion
The camp has numerous housing units and the most incredible concert hall The Raymond Tremblay concert hall has 320 seats 2 piano rooms a bistro terrace and exhibition hall The Egyptian goddess Hathor is symbolized here and she represents happiness joy and music
The acoustics even when you are just speaking
well stunning would be the word to describe the sound quality
Everything about this 40-year-old institute screams creativity We went up to the gazebo on the observation deck and took in the panorama Breathtakingly beautiful you can see why this region inspires music and lyrics
After our tour of the camp was done we headed out towards the Village Historique Val-Jalbert Canadarsquos BEST preserved Ghost Town I couldnrsquot wait
The ride from the Camp Musical to Val-Jalbert which is just northwest of Chambord took about 30 minutes It was a wee bit overcast but the temperature was perfect for riding
When we arrived at Val-Jalbert we headed into the gorgeous visitor information centre and were assigned a tour guide named Michelle Pelletier Michelle turned out to be an amazing tour guide
She spoke in both French and English easily and made all of us feel so welcome

We got in an electric cart and began our tour with Michelle telling us about the history of this town and why it is such a significant tourism and historical attraction
You see this town was the dream of one man Damase Jalbert He was the founder of the Ouiatchouan Pulp Company that built a pulp mill
here The town he founded for his employees started out as Saint-Georges-de-Ouiatchouan named for the river and the falls that powered the mill The name was changed to Val-Jalbert in 1913 in honor of the man whose dream it was
Damase wanted to build the best company town and provide his employees with a rarified quality of living
He died suddenly three years after opening the mill The mill faced a cash shortage and was bought by American shareholders in 1904 In 1909 the Chicoutimi Pulp Company bought it
From 1909 to 1922 the village flourished and was the envy of many surrounding communities
The company town offered employees electricity and running water in their homes a good 25 years before anyone else in Quebec had power
In 1923 the demand for mechanical pulp began to fall and by 1924 most of the workers had been laid off
On August 13th 1927 all operations ceased and over the next few years the village became abandoned
In 1942 the government took the property back for non-payment of taxes and in 1970 Val-Jalbert had new life breathed into it as a tourist attraction In recent years the government of Quebec has spent 19+ million dollars to upgrade and improve the visitors information centre put in a glass observation deck and a whole host of other improvements
Val-Jalbert must have been the most amazing town in the region in its day because this place is utterly amazing today The Quebec government has spent a lot of money and time restoring this
place to preserve the history and they have done an incredible job
Our first stop on the tour was the convent school where we met ldquoMother Superiorrdquo who took us through the school and answered our questions She was stern but I think there was a glint of mischief in her eyes as she ldquodisciplinedrdquo us on proper etiquette
There was the most amazing art display in
one room and in another the historical timeline of the residents of Val-Jalbert to take in The antiques and furnishings truly made you feel you were stuck in a time warp
After touring the school we headed towards the post office The ldquopostmistressrdquo was this chatty little gal that had us peeing ourselves we were laughing so hard It was pretty cool to see the old stamps and the various bits of equipment of the day
We walked up the street to take a tour of the restored duplexes that line the main street You have to see these places to truly appreciate them Imagine 1910 and you can flip a switch and have lights turn a tap and have water flush a toilet and not have to walk to the outhouse
These company houses were so well built and the people who lived here were fiercely loyal to the company that treated them so well
From the duplexes we went to the general store where we ran into the ldquoMayorrdquo the only person in town to have a car The general store offers up everything a visitor could need plus acts as a museum with lots of interesting period pieces on display
Michelle had gotten keys to show us the duplexes that have been upgraded and make up the 4 star accommodations offered here
We walked across the street and were taken to view to the most amazing hotel rooms
Rustic and yet modern these rooms are spacious well appointed and every one of them has unique little shadow boxes filled with antiques
All of the modern appliances Internet boxes and TV are all hidden in closets so that they are not visible It makes for a very appealing deacutecor
Although the rooms appear to only have one bed in the matter of a few moments Michelle had the
couch taken apart and the bed folded down out of the wall for a second bed
The bathrooms are absolute marvels with big tubs and glass showers
The parking for the hotel rooms is hidden behind a row of trees so that there is no real visual of anything modern on the face of things
From the hotel rooms we got back in the electric cart and headed towards the ldquoruinsrdquo Although many of the duplexes have been restored Michelle explained to us that the style of construction for the company houses had been changed and that
the newer houses had collapsed on themselves Some of the buildings are slated for restoration but many are too far-gone The streets they line are preserved so that one can walk by the ruins and get a feel for how large this town really was and how well laid out it was
Our next stop was the Mill Impressive is a good word to describe this place We had our lunch in the Old Mill Restaurant The food served here complimented the
atmosphere ndash IMPECCABLEThe chef Carl Murray has a great reputation that
he totally lives up toThe service
the food the atmosphere and the company were all top drawer
After our fabulous meal it was time to head to the tram and go experience the waterfalls
The ride up to the top gives you the most magnificent view of the region The Ouiatchouan Falls are some 65 feet higher than the Niagara Falls
and the power of them is palpable The rushing water is almost deafening as you walk out on to the glass observation deck
From the falls we walked down to the mill again and took in the most impressive interactive show I have ever experienced In the underbelly of the once abandoned mill amongst all of the monster gearing and shafts the lights go dim you feel the mist in the air and all of a sudden the walls become alive with characters from the original town and they take you through the historical timeline of the village and its people
It is absolutely captivating you become totally involved in the lives and the hardship of the villagers
The show signaled the end of our tour and Michelle took us back to the visitor information centre and sent us all off with gifts of blueberry jam and blueberry tea to remember our visit by
My bike had been acting up off and on and I had been keeping an eye out on a leak coming from the front of the engine The noise from the shifter region was becoming louder but I wasnrsquot experiencing any power loss so I kept an ear out and we kept riding
Our next stop was at the Cheddar Cheese Museum in Saint-Prime where a sweet young man took us on a tour
He showed us the old-fashioned way cheddar cheese was made and then we got to tour the museum portion of the factory 4 generations of the family Perron have made cheddar cheese here
The museum has over 650 artifacts that involve the familyrsquos history in cheese making including the stamps and other machinery used in exporting the cheese
The Cheddar Cheese Museum offers interactive displays and hosts several workshops on the art of making cheddar Upstairs you can view the family home of the Perronrsquos and see all of the period specific furnishings
Along with guided tours you can also sample the various types of cheddar cheese which we did and oh my I have never tasted cheddar that was so smooth and rich
After thanking our young guide for the fabulous tour we headed off
We stopped at Tim Hortonrsquos for a coffee and sitting out on the curb in front of my bike I could see the leak was getting worse I was very concerned and asked if there was a shop nearby where I could at least check the oil level in my primary
Rejean talked to one of the local riders Denis AKA Tarte au Sucre (Sweet Pie) and he took us to Carl Tremblayrsquos shop Carl is a mechanic that many here swear by His rates are far cheaper than the dealerships and every rider in the region says hersquos a guru He took the primary apart and sure
enough discovered that the compensating sprocket was dead and the stator was leaking With parts ordered and Rejeanrsquos wife going to the Harley shop to pick them up Francine Lynne Rejean and Denis rode me to my hotel the Motel Chutes des Pegraveres in Dolbeau-Mistassini My gear and luggage was distributed over three of the four bikes
By the time we got in it was dark and everyone had to head home I enjoyed a wonderful steak for supper and then headed off to my beautiful room and after a boiling hot pounding shower I climbed into the queen-sized bed and with the sound of the falls lulling me to sleep
And thatrsquos where I will leave you until next weekhellipBelt Drive Betty

1 - Yoursquoll Become a Better DriverTherersquos no doubt that riding a motorcycle has its
benefits especially when it comes to driving a car Riding a motorcycle teaches you to look out for people who are trying to kill you yoursquoll see hazards sooner and yoursquoll end up with Ninja-like machine control So when it comes to driving yoursquoll put all that to work and be a cut above the rest Hopefully
2 - Everyone Wants To Talk To YouIt really doesnrsquot matter what kind of motorcycle
you ride yoursquoll find middle-aged men stare at you and your bike with a dreamy lust before giving you an unwanted compliment Chances are theyrsquoll have no idea what the bike is either
Choose a classic or even worse a modern classic and yoursquoll become a magnet for old men who have the knack of being able to have a conversation with you without you needing to add any input Yoursquoll reach for your helmet on more than one occasion but not be able to put in on and leave because theyrsquoll ask you a question when you try Yoursquoll be subjected to questions about your
bike that you donrsquot know the answer to or even care about
The conversation will go something like this Is that a Triumph I had a Triumph once (followed by 10 minutes of ldquoback in my day rdquo)
3 - When You Say Yoursquore A Biker This Is The First Image That
Comes To Peoplehellip
5 Things They Never Told You About Becoming A Bikerby Robert Whaley NW Ontario Motorcycling
You could be a nice guy you could have something that resembles a career you could do the occasional BBQ it doesnrsquot matter When you mention to anyone at a party that yoursquove got a motorcycle a picture of this guy will pop into their head Then as you explain that you donrsquot ride a cruiser and yoursquove got a sportsbike theyrsquoll just think yoursquore speaking Greek and will reevaluate you as some sort of nut job who tries to kill himself on the highways Itrsquos a no-win
4 - Bees and Other Flying Things Will Start To Scare You
Anything flying will scare you When yoursquore sitting around at a family BBQ and everyone starts going mental the moment a bee or a wasp arrives on the scene you sit there perfectly calm and wonder what all the fuss is about
However - when yoursquore on a bike itrsquos a different story There you are riding along on a nice sunny day with your visor up enjoying the countryside and the winding road in front of you
Then you spot it 50 metres away a large insect looks like its stopped going about its daily business and itrsquos homing in at you instead Before you can do anything about it it goes THHHHHWAP right on your cheek Close but luckily it didnrsquot get you in the eye Then you panic the little bastardrsquos still in your helmet You insert a clumsy leather-clad finger and try and flick whatever it is away but probably end up pissing it off even further Then you crank on the brakes and perform the worldrsquos fastest lid removal followed by a little bit of a flappy-armed dance
5 - You Canrsquot Figure Out Who To Wave ToWhen you get a motorcycle you become part of a
club Itrsquos a club no biker really talks about but yoursquore in it now and yoursquore not allowed to leave Ever When you first pass your test yoursquoll wave at anyone and everyone If yoursquore heading down a road and a dog looks at you the right way yoursquoll probably wave at him too
Unfortunately this will change There are no set rules as to how it will change but yoursquoll end up developing your own code Me I wave at everyone dogs too and donrsquot give a second thought to the riders that donrsquot wave back But thatrsquos just me Yoursquoll have to work out your own code
Breaking is one of the most important things that you will learn to do on a motorcycle When we first learn to ride we are taught techniques to protect ourselves from crashing such as breaking shifting and countersteering But generally the most effective way to avoid an accident is through proper use of the brakes
The rear brake in particular is probably one of the least understood controls on a motorcycle Many riders donrsquot use the rear brake at all claiming that it doesnrsquot actually aid in slowing down or stopping the bike and say that it locks up the rear tire when trying to use it In fact most experts agree that a balanced use of both the front and rear brake is the most effective way of slowing or stopping a motorcycle
The rear brake also plays a huge role in adding stability to the bike when maneuvering
Because of the weight distribution on a motorcycle the braking balance of stopping power between the front and rear is 70 on the front and 30 on the rear This should tell you that if you donrsquot use the rear brake at all you are loosing 30 of the potential stopping power on your bike This could become a critical factor if you find yourself in trouble and have to try
and avoid an accident
Why does the rear brake lock up Well once again it has to do with weight distribution When you find yourself in a braking situation and start applying the brakes the geometry of the bike changes (due partly to the suspension) and much of the total weight (bike + rider) is transferred to the front This allows the rider to apply much more front brake than rear brake (the 7030 ratio)
Learning the finer points of your bikersquos braking performance is the key to keeping your bike in control It is a good idea to explore those limits in a safe environment
Practice repeated stops in an abandoned parking lot and yoursquoll start to get a feel for the amount of
effort that triggers tire slippage or rear tire lock-up
Try stopping with your front brake only then rear only and then a combination of both Once you become more familiar with your bikersquos brakes the sensations of weight transfer will start to feel more apparent and familiar That way yoursquoll be much more aware of the limits of your bike and yoursquoll be much better prepared in stopping

CAV To Hold AGM During ATLANTICADE (Summerside PE)
ndash The relationship started off by accident back in 2007 in
Moncton during the inaugural Atlanticade eventldquoI saw these guys who were hanging around
together with CAV crests on their vests and didnrsquot really know who they wererdquo says Dale Hicks festival founder and chairman Hicks began to connect the dots on the final day when the closing parade ended at the local veteranrsquos health care center and the CAV riders were very engaged with the vets ldquoSo I starting asking ndash who are these guys and what does CAV stand forrdquo
That was over seven years ago and now the relationship between Atlanticade and the Canadian Army Veterans is as strong a bond as you will find anywhere in the world of motorcycle events
ldquoOnce we became aware of who the CAV group was and what they represented I said well this group reflects the best of what it means to be Canadian so we certainly wanted to build a relationship with themrdquo recalls Hicks
Since then CAV has played a significant role in some form or fashion at each Atlanticade event The festival now has a
ldquoSupport the Troopsrdquo activity incorporated into the schedule each year where CAV plays a lead role In addition CAV will also be found leading parades such as the Confederation Bridge Cruise and the Parade of Iron Horses
In fact in 2011 Hicks was surprised and honored to be presented with an
honorary membership into the CAV organization at the closing awards breakfast at the Algonquin Hotel in St Andrews
ldquoYeah they caught me off guard with that and I certainly was humbled and honored by to be presented the crest by Trapperrdquo says Hicks ldquoI donrsquot feel worthy of wearing the crest but I do sport it proudly at certain times during Atlanticaderdquo
The unique bond between the two organizations continues for the upcoming 8th annual festival being held in Summerside PEI from June 27th to
Continued Next Page
(Atlanticade chairman Dale Hicks had just presented Trapper Cane with the annual ldquoExperienced Rider Awardrdquo
when Cane turned the tables by presenting Hicks with his honorary CAV membership during the 2011 event)
July 1st Recenty CAV founder Paul (Trapper) Cane announced the grouprsquos annual general meeting will take place in Summerside in conjunction with Atlanticade
ldquoAtlanticade brings great energy to all riders and our CAV members certainly appreciate the extra efforts put forth by Dalersquos team to give us some profile at the eventrdquo says Cane ldquoNo doubt it has been a great relationship between the two organizations and we hope it continues well into the futurerdquo
For his part Hicks says that Atlanticade is very proud to be able to host the CAV ndash AGM as part of the 2014 festival ldquoWe always have a good turnout of CAV members at our event but this will mean an additional boost in participants from across the country We hope we can make it a little special for them and something they will remember years down the roadrdquo

and take a step up Pretty soon everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted offAnd the moral ishellip Life is going to shovel dirt on you all kinds of dirt The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up Each of our troubles is a steppingstone We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping never giving up Shake it off and take a step up

Every now and again Hollywood takes a real-life story and does a remarkable job transforming what might be a heroic tale or an against all odds success story that leaves audiences captivated emotionally attached to some characters and highly
entertained Granted these types of movies donrsquot come along often but when they do people flock to the theatres in part I believe because there is something uplifting encouraging that comes from experiencing a ldquofeel goodrdquo true story
How often in life do we experience that kind of a rush when our heart-strings have been yanked by someone or some cause and we have followed our instinct to reach out a helping hand in one form or another
I have experienced motorcycle breakdowns where strangers would stop to help and in the course of conversation a friendship develops and the person doing the giving winds up leaving with the biggest pump It just feels good when we can make a difference Recently a total stranger covered the cost of my morning ldquofixrdquo as they paid for my Tim Hortonrsquos coffee Small move but it felt good for me and so in turn I want to do that for
somebody else So can we say that lsquogood worksrsquo or lsquomaking a differencersquo is contagious I think so
As a biker church pastor I get to hear first-hand about peoplersquos troubles and triumphs in life and one thing is for sure just as much as people like to talk about their trials and challenges they love to talk about the good things going on in their lives the happy times and frankly I see those people who take the time to enjoy what they have and make the effort to lift up others to make a positive difference in other peoplersquos lives just naturally attract others to themselves
In our ldquoOwnerrsquos Manualrdquo for life we read in Psalm 11824 ldquoThis is the day that the Lord has made let us rejoice and be glad in itrdquo
So there you have it be grateful for the day and be happy That will make a difference in the lives ofpeople around you

As we see in the conflicts that are brewing around this world of ours the power of the people to affect change is powerful
A small group of committed individuals can accomplish much
They can topple governments or back them up against a wall
The on highway motorcycle community in Canada is rapidly approaching 1 million registered motorcycles
Every weekend you will see thousands of us gathered at various events across our respective provinces and territories always riding and working for charities that mean something to us that hit
home for usVery seldom however do you see this community
rally around itself and its own issues outside of riders we lovecare about needing help
As we get prepared for the 2014 riding season we as riders are going to face a variety of issues Some will affect all of us other issues will only affect certain riders
Insurance is an issue that affects us all as are the condition of the highways in this country So is distracted driving
As a rider who has ridden across this great land of ours I can tell you road maintenance is also an issue in the majority of regions
Some of us will experience police harassment others will ride uninterrupted
Some of us will experience headaches in communities with Motorcycle Only Noise Bylaws others will never be detained or bothered
Some of us will have great experiences at dealerships and others not so much
Some of us will experience discrimination and be turned away from establishments because of how we dress and what we ride others will experience none of that
This summer when you experience issues do something about it
Remember the POWER OF THE PEOPLEDocument it Photos videos and written
accounts of the situations you encounterThen if you live in a provinceterritory with a
Riders Rights Organization like BCCOM ABATE BRO Coalition of Manitoba Motorcycle Groups
RAGE or the newly formed Atlantic Motorcycle Coalition get that information into them so that they have something concrete to work with
They canrsquot help you or anyone else unless YOU give them something to work with
If you are in a province where there is no collective to represent your voice like in Alberta NWT YT - the only three regions without a provincialterritorial lobbying voice then yoursquoll really want to document things well especially if it involves court and lawyers If it is about roadways and other concerns you can at least present your MLA with the information
Every rider who experiences something of a discomforting nature should stand up and say something do something so that the others who come after you might not have to experience the same thing
If you arenrsquot a member of your local riders rights coalition consider becoming one
Our voice counts be it as an individual taxpayer or in a collective with many voices united but they only count when the persons we are discussing our
situation with can actually do something about itWhining and not taking the right actions do
nothing to alleviate problems - so this summer get a camera for your motorcycle or helmet have a note pad and a pen in a tool pouch or jacket pocket and remember the information you take down and share with the right people will do some good if not today somewhere down the road
Thatrsquos whatrsquos on my mind today what are your thoughts on the topic of the Power of the People
Have a great day and if you are one of the lucky ones who is riding today please remember to ride like everyone around you is blind and cannot see you
Until next week I am your editor Belt Drive Betty

Art amp The Motorcycle My Name Milton BeginMake Harley DavidsonYear 1993Title ldquoFresh Paint n Old LeatherrdquoArtist Jeremy Ferguson
The tragedy of the space shuttle Challenger is what gave me the idea of the paint scheme I knew I wanted to keep the blue color on the bike After all I as well as the people who know me have always referred to the bike as Olrsquo Blue Flames and skulls have been well overdone so it came to me scorched paint and steel Must have been what the shuttle was going thru for that split second in the early stage of re-entry
The bike was shipped out of Milwaukee in 1993 I rode it to Milwaukee in 2003 for the 100th Anniversary Ride Home Celebration for Harley Davidson Plans were made to ride it home again in 2013 for the 110th Anniversary Fresh paint was in order Hence the name Fresh Paint n Old Leather I have kept and still ride with the same leather for all too many years Although you canrsquot see many of the details in the picture Jeremy scratched in the dates after it was painted onto the bottom of the front fender It looks awesome because Jeremy is a talented individual
If I am able I will ride home again in 2023 The bike will undoubtedly make it

Light travels faster than sound This is why some people appear
No idea quite Where you are exactly nor do you know where yet you need to be
You feel as tossed as tumultuously as leaves in the wind
Your thoughts are as
turbulent amp dangerous as the moods of a teenagerYou are almost certain you are going in an
aimless direction with your eyes closed but your hands refuse to relinquish their grips
There is a time when the mind gleefully spins events amp memories into painful brutal tellings amp the tears dry upon your cheeks as fast as the wind can touch them leaving no trace
This is the time when intelligent rationale simply fails amp pure raw emotion takes over
Coherent thought is impossibleSpeech is non-existentThe primal need to fight- flee or fuck has kicked
into overdrive amp so with the flick of a thumb you opt for the fastest although not necessarily Wisest course of action amp race away from your demons at breakneck speed almost daring them to catch you
And the racechase is onMile after mile flashes past beneath you amp you
handle the bike as easily as breathing There are times when you ldquobecome onerdquo with it amp this is surely that time
It is pure sensation the adrenalin rush of exhilaration that isnrsquot noticed
The passage of time on a stopwatch held by the hands of the Gods
Death might ride a pale horse but you have a Harley

On the sixth day God turned to Archangel Gabriel and said Today
I am going to create a land called Canada It will be a land of outstanding natural beauty It shall have tall majestic mountains full of mountain goats and eagles beautiful sparkling lakes bountiful with bass and trout forests full of elk and moose high cliffs over-looking sandy beaches with an abundance of sea life and rivers stocked with salmon
God continued
I shall make the land rich in resources so as to make the inhabitants prosper I shall call these inhabitants Canadians and they shall be known as the most friendly people on the earth
But Lord asked Gabriel dont you think you are being too generous to these Canadians
Not really replied GodJust wait and see the winters I am going to give

While the boy and his father were watching with amazement a fat old lady in a wheel chair rolled up to the moving walls and pressed a button The walls opened and the lady rolled between them into a small room The walls closed and the boy and his father watched the small circular numbers above the walls light up sequentially They continued to watch until it reached the last number and then the numbers began to light in the reverse order Then the walls opened up again and a gorgeous voluptuous 24-year-old blonde woman stepped out The father not taking his eyes off the young woman said quietly to his son

The Touch of a healerAn Irishman in a wheelchair entered a restaurant
one afternoon and asked the waitress for a cup of coffee The Irishman looked across the restaurant and asked Is that Jesus sitting over there The waitress nodded yes so the Irishman told her to give Jesus a cup of coffee on him
The next patron to come in was an Englishman with a hunched back He shuffled over to a booth painfully sat down and asked for a cup of hot tea He also glanced across the restaurant and asked Is that Jesus over there The waitress nodded so the Englishman said to give Jesus a cup of hot tea my treat
The third patron to come into the restaurant was a Redneck on crutches He hobbled over to a booth sat down and hollered Hey there sweet thang Hows about gettin me a cold glass of Coke He too looked across the restaurant and asked Is that
Gods boy over there The waitress once again nodded that it was so the Redneck said to give Jesus a cold glass of Coke on my bill
As Jesus got up to leave he passed by the Irishman touched him and said For your kindness you are healed The Irishman felt the strength come back to his legs got up and danced a jig right out the door
Jesus also passed by the Englishman touched him and said For your kindness you are healed The Englishman felt his back straightening up and he raised his hands praised the Lord and did a series of back flips out the door
Then Jesus walked up to the Redneck
The Redneck jumped up and yelled ldquoDonrsquot touch me Irsquom drawinrsquo disabilityrdquo
The most important thing for all motorcycle riders and vehicle drivers in Saskatchewan right now is standing-up and getting YOUR voice heardhellipand COUNTED
When it comes to the Saskatchewan Rate Review process each and every voice matters no matter how big no matter how small Every voice every opinion matters Use this process to make YOUR VOICE COUNT BEFORE April 28 2014 After thathellipit is too late
RAGE is here to continue what we started so successfully last year To continue to lobby SGI and the Provincial Government to put real and long-term public policy forward to end the continuous cycle of rate increases being implemented to
cover up escalating high-risk driving behaviour in Saskatchewan In a nutshell to stop just raising rates and not much else
If you parked a vehicle on the street downtown (any type of vehicle) and just left it there till it caused an accident How long would it take for that vehicle to be at-fault for causing one That is if it wasnrsquot stolen or vandalized first
Now if a person comes along gets into that same vehicle and drives off looking at their cellphone and texting How long
If it is a motorcycle and a person who just wrote their learners with zero experience (other than maybe a ride around the block) comes along gets on and rides off into traffic How long
The great thing about what we are putting forward is that it addresses ALL driver behavior Not vehicles but those who drive them ALL of us
You as a motorcycle and vehicle owner need to be speaking up this yearhellipin Saskatchewan you are more than likely both Making sure YOUR voice
Stand Up and Be Counted

RAGE Dare to Know

To book an appointment or find out more about the BodyTalk System call
gets counted To stop the endless cycle of just raising rates with not much else
This will allow RAGE to have a strong voice when it comes to the Personal Injury Insurance Review happening later this year Remember YOUR ldquoa-la-carterdquo recommendation has been approved by government
To continue to fight for mandatory safety training (Yes RAGE has always wanted this to be mandatory)
To continue to work with SGI on the things they are already implementing as a result of RAGE and ALL YOUR VOICES
YOUR VOICEno matter what your messageMATTERS to RAGE
Without all YOUR voicesindividuallyeach counting as 1UNITED into manyhellipSGI will simply not listen
Since the 1980rsquos and up until last yearvery few voices were raised to be counted during the Rate Review Process SGI pretty much did what they wantedthen last year BAM
For years SGI shut out anyone any group many efforts by the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel and the Provincial Government for any changeswhyNO UNITED VOICES Yes they brought in the 3 year MGDL in 2011 However they didnrsquot work with the groups involved past initial consultations SGI came to their own conclusions (no one could agree) and implemented what they
wanted SGI then stopped returning calls and continued to increase rates in 2012 and 2013
Even the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel has had difficulty getting the information they need from SGI to make informed decisions
Is it little wonder that the Minister Responsible for SGI felt she didnrsquot have to listen to the ldquosuggestionrdquo of the Rate Review Panel After all they never really had in previous years
Hammering us with another 15 increase could have been meant to knock us off our motorcycles and give up After all that hard workhellipand yet another increase Irsquom betting they expected us to cry in our coffee about how unfair they are about how they just do want they want anyway how we should just privatize and then do nothing more than that
Now that might have workedhellipin the past That is until last year the first time since the 1980rsquos when RAGE worked hard to organize YOUR voices YOU each used your own voices You each counted Then RAGE presented a proposal that took EACH ONE and MADE THEM COUNT as a UNITED VOICE
Then we did the unthinkablehellipWE STAYED We werenrsquot just there for 3 meetings WE
were 100 ALL INhellipFOR YOU To make sure YOUR VOICES continued to count RAGE continued to work with SGI on the wording for the recommendations put forward providing information for awareness sharing the ldquoCount Your Motorcyclerdquo game and much more
When it comes right down to it YOUR opinions and comments should matter to YOU IT does not matter if you donrsquot agree with the overall message of RAGE or your local riding club group
association coffee groupwhatever WHAT MATTERSis YOU getting YOUR VOICE
heard YOU canrsquot leave it up to everyone else You canrsquot assume anyone else is going to do this for YOU WE ALL MUST FIGHT
The worst thing you can do is nothing THAT is even worse than complaining and doing nothing Complaincomplain to your hearts contentto the Sask Rate Review Panel
THEN go have coffeeIf you canrsquot make it to the meeting in person
please at the very least contact the Rate Review Panel with YOUR voice
Each of our own voices count as 1 in this processjust as the voice of RAGE only counts as 1 We know SGI only listens when there are MANY following a UNITED theme
YOU can get YOUR voice heardand COUNTEDby submitting your comments regarding the application by April 28 2014 using any of the following methods

After a magnificent breakfast I started loading up my bike and it wasnrsquot long before the gang arrived to come take me sightseeing
Our first stop of the day after topping up our tanks was at the look out of Lac Saint Jean
From here you truly get a sense of how immense this lake is
We took some time to admire the view and chat about the plans for the rest of the day
Our next stop was to be the Camp Musical a purely French speaking musical camp for students to come and immerse themselves in the culture of the region and the music that is their passion
The camp has numerous housing units and the most incredible concert hall The Raymond Tremblay concert hall has 320 seats 2 piano rooms a bistro terrace and exhibition hall The Egyptian goddess Hathor is symbolized here and she represents happiness joy and music
The acoustics even when you are just speaking
well stunning would be the word to describe the sound quality
Everything about this 40-year-old institute screams creativity We went up to the gazebo on the observation deck and took in the panorama Breathtakingly beautiful you can see why this region inspires music and lyrics
After our tour of the camp was done we headed out towards the Village Historique Val-Jalbert Canadarsquos BEST preserved Ghost Town I couldnrsquot wait
The ride from the Camp Musical to Val-Jalbert which is just northwest of Chambord took about 30 minutes It was a wee bit overcast but the temperature was perfect for riding
When we arrived at Val-Jalbert we headed into the gorgeous visitor information centre and were assigned a tour guide named Michelle Pelletier Michelle turned out to be an amazing tour guide
She spoke in both French and English easily and made all of us feel so welcome

Saturday May 31st 2014 830 am Rain date June 1st rain or shine
We got in an electric cart and began our tour with Michelle telling us about the history of this town and why it is such a significant tourism and historical attraction
You see this town was the dream of one man Damase Jalbert He was the founder of the Ouiatchouan Pulp Company that built a pulp mill
here The town he founded for his employees started out as Saint-Georges-de-Ouiatchouan named for the river and the falls that powered the mill The name was changed to Val-Jalbert in 1913 in honor of the man whose dream it was
Damase wanted to build the best company town and provide his employees with a rarified quality of living
He died suddenly three years after opening the mill The mill faced a cash shortage and was bought by American shareholders in 1904 In 1909 the Chicoutimi Pulp Company bought it
From 1909 to 1922 the village flourished and was the envy of many surrounding communities
The company town offered employees electricity and running water in their homes a good 25 years before anyone else in Quebec had power
In 1923 the demand for mechanical pulp began to fall and by 1924 most of the workers had been laid off
On August 13th 1927 all operations ceased and over the next few years the village became abandoned
In 1942 the government took the property back for non-payment of taxes and in 1970 Val-Jalbert had new life breathed into it as a tourist attraction In recent years the government of Quebec has spent 19+ million dollars to upgrade and improve the visitors information centre put in a glass observation deck and a whole host of other improvements
Val-Jalbert must have been the most amazing town in the region in its day because this place is utterly amazing today The Quebec government has spent a lot of money and time restoring this
place to preserve the history and they have done an incredible job
Our first stop on the tour was the convent school where we met ldquoMother Superiorrdquo who took us through the school and answered our questions She was stern but I think there was a glint of mischief in her eyes as she ldquodisciplinedrdquo us on proper etiquette
There was the most amazing art display in
one room and in another the historical timeline of the residents of Val-Jalbert to take in The antiques and furnishings truly made you feel you were stuck in a time warp
After touring the school we headed towards the post office The ldquopostmistressrdquo was this chatty little gal that had us peeing ourselves we were laughing so hard It was pretty cool to see the old stamps and the various bits of equipment of the day
We walked up the street to take a tour of the restored duplexes that line the main street You have to see these places to truly appreciate them Imagine 1910 and you can flip a switch and have lights turn a tap and have water flush a toilet and not have to walk to the outhouse
These company houses were so well built and the people who lived here were fiercely loyal to the company that treated them so well
From the duplexes we went to the general store where we ran into the ldquoMayorrdquo the only person in town to have a car The general store offers up everything a visitor could need plus acts as a museum with lots of interesting period pieces on display
Michelle had gotten keys to show us the duplexes that have been upgraded and make up the 4 star accommodations offered here
We walked across the street and were taken to view to the most amazing hotel rooms
Rustic and yet modern these rooms are spacious well appointed and every one of them has unique little shadow boxes filled with antiques
All of the modern appliances Internet boxes and TV are all hidden in closets so that they are not visible It makes for a very appealing deacutecor
Although the rooms appear to only have one bed in the matter of a few moments Michelle had the
couch taken apart and the bed folded down out of the wall for a second bed
The bathrooms are absolute marvels with big tubs and glass showers
The parking for the hotel rooms is hidden behind a row of trees so that there is no real visual of anything modern on the face of things
From the hotel rooms we got back in the electric cart and headed towards the ldquoruinsrdquo Although many of the duplexes have been restored Michelle explained to us that the style of construction for the company houses had been changed and that
the newer houses had collapsed on themselves Some of the buildings are slated for restoration but many are too far-gone The streets they line are preserved so that one can walk by the ruins and get a feel for how large this town really was and how well laid out it was
Our next stop was the Mill Impressive is a good word to describe this place We had our lunch in the Old Mill Restaurant The food served here complimented the
atmosphere ndash IMPECCABLEThe chef Carl Murray has a great reputation that
he totally lives up toThe service
the food the atmosphere and the company were all top drawer
After our fabulous meal it was time to head to the tram and go experience the waterfalls
The ride up to the top gives you the most magnificent view of the region The Ouiatchouan Falls are some 65 feet higher than the Niagara Falls
and the power of them is palpable The rushing water is almost deafening as you walk out on to the glass observation deck
From the falls we walked down to the mill again and took in the most impressive interactive show I have ever experienced In the underbelly of the once abandoned mill amongst all of the monster gearing and shafts the lights go dim you feel the mist in the air and all of a sudden the walls become alive with characters from the original town and they take you through the historical timeline of the village and its people
It is absolutely captivating you become totally involved in the lives and the hardship of the villagers
The show signaled the end of our tour and Michelle took us back to the visitor information centre and sent us all off with gifts of blueberry jam and blueberry tea to remember our visit by
My bike had been acting up off and on and I had been keeping an eye out on a leak coming from the front of the engine The noise from the shifter region was becoming louder but I wasnrsquot experiencing any power loss so I kept an ear out and we kept riding
Our next stop was at the Cheddar Cheese Museum in Saint-Prime where a sweet young man took us on a tour
He showed us the old-fashioned way cheddar cheese was made and then we got to tour the museum portion of the factory 4 generations of the family Perron have made cheddar cheese here
The museum has over 650 artifacts that involve the familyrsquos history in cheese making including the stamps and other machinery used in exporting the cheese
The Cheddar Cheese Museum offers interactive displays and hosts several workshops on the art of making cheddar Upstairs you can view the family home of the Perronrsquos and see all of the period specific furnishings
Along with guided tours you can also sample the various types of cheddar cheese which we did and oh my I have never tasted cheddar that was so smooth and rich
After thanking our young guide for the fabulous tour we headed off
We stopped at Tim Hortonrsquos for a coffee and sitting out on the curb in front of my bike I could see the leak was getting worse I was very concerned and asked if there was a shop nearby where I could at least check the oil level in my primary
Rejean talked to one of the local riders Denis AKA Tarte au Sucre (Sweet Pie) and he took us to Carl Tremblayrsquos shop Carl is a mechanic that many here swear by His rates are far cheaper than the dealerships and every rider in the region says hersquos a guru He took the primary apart and sure
enough discovered that the compensating sprocket was dead and the stator was leaking With parts ordered and Rejeanrsquos wife going to the Harley shop to pick them up Francine Lynne Rejean and Denis rode me to my hotel the Motel Chutes des Pegraveres in Dolbeau-Mistassini My gear and luggage was distributed over three of the four bikes
By the time we got in it was dark and everyone had to head home I enjoyed a wonderful steak for supper and then headed off to my beautiful room and after a boiling hot pounding shower I climbed into the queen-sized bed and with the sound of the falls lulling me to sleep
And thatrsquos where I will leave you until next weekhellipBelt Drive Betty

1 - Yoursquoll Become a Better DriverTherersquos no doubt that riding a motorcycle has its
benefits especially when it comes to driving a car Riding a motorcycle teaches you to look out for people who are trying to kill you yoursquoll see hazards sooner and yoursquoll end up with Ninja-like machine control So when it comes to driving yoursquoll put all that to work and be a cut above the rest Hopefully
2 - Everyone Wants To Talk To YouIt really doesnrsquot matter what kind of motorcycle
you ride yoursquoll find middle-aged men stare at you and your bike with a dreamy lust before giving you an unwanted compliment Chances are theyrsquoll have no idea what the bike is either
Choose a classic or even worse a modern classic and yoursquoll become a magnet for old men who have the knack of being able to have a conversation with you without you needing to add any input Yoursquoll reach for your helmet on more than one occasion but not be able to put in on and leave because theyrsquoll ask you a question when you try Yoursquoll be subjected to questions about your
bike that you donrsquot know the answer to or even care about
The conversation will go something like this Is that a Triumph I had a Triumph once (followed by 10 minutes of ldquoback in my day rdquo)
3 - When You Say Yoursquore A Biker This Is The First Image That
Comes To Peoplehellip
5 Things They Never Told You About Becoming A Bikerby Robert Whaley NW Ontario Motorcycling
You could be a nice guy you could have something that resembles a career you could do the occasional BBQ it doesnrsquot matter When you mention to anyone at a party that yoursquove got a motorcycle a picture of this guy will pop into their head Then as you explain that you donrsquot ride a cruiser and yoursquove got a sportsbike theyrsquoll just think yoursquore speaking Greek and will reevaluate you as some sort of nut job who tries to kill himself on the highways Itrsquos a no-win
4 - Bees and Other Flying Things Will Start To Scare You
Anything flying will scare you When yoursquore sitting around at a family BBQ and everyone starts going mental the moment a bee or a wasp arrives on the scene you sit there perfectly calm and wonder what all the fuss is about
However - when yoursquore on a bike itrsquos a different story There you are riding along on a nice sunny day with your visor up enjoying the countryside and the winding road in front of you
Then you spot it 50 metres away a large insect looks like its stopped going about its daily business and itrsquos homing in at you instead Before you can do anything about it it goes THHHHHWAP right on your cheek Close but luckily it didnrsquot get you in the eye Then you panic the little bastardrsquos still in your helmet You insert a clumsy leather-clad finger and try and flick whatever it is away but probably end up pissing it off even further Then you crank on the brakes and perform the worldrsquos fastest lid removal followed by a little bit of a flappy-armed dance
5 - You Canrsquot Figure Out Who To Wave ToWhen you get a motorcycle you become part of a
club Itrsquos a club no biker really talks about but yoursquore in it now and yoursquore not allowed to leave Ever When you first pass your test yoursquoll wave at anyone and everyone If yoursquore heading down a road and a dog looks at you the right way yoursquoll probably wave at him too
Unfortunately this will change There are no set rules as to how it will change but yoursquoll end up developing your own code Me I wave at everyone dogs too and donrsquot give a second thought to the riders that donrsquot wave back But thatrsquos just me Yoursquoll have to work out your own code
Breaking is one of the most important things that you will learn to do on a motorcycle When we first learn to ride we are taught techniques to protect ourselves from crashing such as breaking shifting and countersteering But generally the most effective way to avoid an accident is through proper use of the brakes
The rear brake in particular is probably one of the least understood controls on a motorcycle Many riders donrsquot use the rear brake at all claiming that it doesnrsquot actually aid in slowing down or stopping the bike and say that it locks up the rear tire when trying to use it In fact most experts agree that a balanced use of both the front and rear brake is the most effective way of slowing or stopping a motorcycle
The rear brake also plays a huge role in adding stability to the bike when maneuvering
Because of the weight distribution on a motorcycle the braking balance of stopping power between the front and rear is 70 on the front and 30 on the rear This should tell you that if you donrsquot use the rear brake at all you are loosing 30 of the potential stopping power on your bike This could become a critical factor if you find yourself in trouble and have to try
and avoid an accident
Why does the rear brake lock up Well once again it has to do with weight distribution When you find yourself in a braking situation and start applying the brakes the geometry of the bike changes (due partly to the suspension) and much of the total weight (bike + rider) is transferred to the front This allows the rider to apply much more front brake than rear brake (the 7030 ratio)
Learning the finer points of your bikersquos braking performance is the key to keeping your bike in control It is a good idea to explore those limits in a safe environment
Practice repeated stops in an abandoned parking lot and yoursquoll start to get a feel for the amount of
effort that triggers tire slippage or rear tire lock-up
Try stopping with your front brake only then rear only and then a combination of both Once you become more familiar with your bikersquos brakes the sensations of weight transfer will start to feel more apparent and familiar That way yoursquoll be much more aware of the limits of your bike and yoursquoll be much better prepared in stopping

CAV To Hold AGM During ATLANTICADE (Summerside PE)
ndash The relationship started off by accident back in 2007 in
Moncton during the inaugural Atlanticade eventldquoI saw these guys who were hanging around
together with CAV crests on their vests and didnrsquot really know who they wererdquo says Dale Hicks festival founder and chairman Hicks began to connect the dots on the final day when the closing parade ended at the local veteranrsquos health care center and the CAV riders were very engaged with the vets ldquoSo I starting asking ndash who are these guys and what does CAV stand forrdquo
That was over seven years ago and now the relationship between Atlanticade and the Canadian Army Veterans is as strong a bond as you will find anywhere in the world of motorcycle events
ldquoOnce we became aware of who the CAV group was and what they represented I said well this group reflects the best of what it means to be Canadian so we certainly wanted to build a relationship with themrdquo recalls Hicks
Since then CAV has played a significant role in some form or fashion at each Atlanticade event The festival now has a
ldquoSupport the Troopsrdquo activity incorporated into the schedule each year where CAV plays a lead role In addition CAV will also be found leading parades such as the Confederation Bridge Cruise and the Parade of Iron Horses
In fact in 2011 Hicks was surprised and honored to be presented with an
honorary membership into the CAV organization at the closing awards breakfast at the Algonquin Hotel in St Andrews
ldquoYeah they caught me off guard with that and I certainly was humbled and honored by to be presented the crest by Trapperrdquo says Hicks ldquoI donrsquot feel worthy of wearing the crest but I do sport it proudly at certain times during Atlanticaderdquo
The unique bond between the two organizations continues for the upcoming 8th annual festival being held in Summerside PEI from June 27th to
Continued Next Page
(Atlanticade chairman Dale Hicks had just presented Trapper Cane with the annual ldquoExperienced Rider Awardrdquo
when Cane turned the tables by presenting Hicks with his honorary CAV membership during the 2011 event)
July 1st Recenty CAV founder Paul (Trapper) Cane announced the grouprsquos annual general meeting will take place in Summerside in conjunction with Atlanticade
ldquoAtlanticade brings great energy to all riders and our CAV members certainly appreciate the extra efforts put forth by Dalersquos team to give us some profile at the eventrdquo says Cane ldquoNo doubt it has been a great relationship between the two organizations and we hope it continues well into the futurerdquo
For his part Hicks says that Atlanticade is very proud to be able to host the CAV ndash AGM as part of the 2014 festival ldquoWe always have a good turnout of CAV members at our event but this will mean an additional boost in participants from across the country We hope we can make it a little special for them and something they will remember years down the roadrdquo

and take a step up Pretty soon everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted offAnd the moral ishellip Life is going to shovel dirt on you all kinds of dirt The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up Each of our troubles is a steppingstone We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping never giving up Shake it off and take a step up

As we see in the conflicts that are brewing around this world of ours the power of the people to affect change is powerful
A small group of committed individuals can accomplish much
They can topple governments or back them up against a wall
The on highway motorcycle community in Canada is rapidly approaching 1 million registered motorcycles
Every weekend you will see thousands of us gathered at various events across our respective provinces and territories always riding and working for charities that mean something to us that hit
home for usVery seldom however do you see this community
rally around itself and its own issues outside of riders we lovecare about needing help
As we get prepared for the 2014 riding season we as riders are going to face a variety of issues Some will affect all of us other issues will only affect certain riders
Insurance is an issue that affects us all as are the condition of the highways in this country So is distracted driving
As a rider who has ridden across this great land of ours I can tell you road maintenance is also an issue in the majority of regions
Some of us will experience police harassment others will ride uninterrupted
Some of us will experience headaches in communities with Motorcycle Only Noise Bylaws others will never be detained or bothered
Some of us will have great experiences at dealerships and others not so much
Some of us will experience discrimination and be turned away from establishments because of how we dress and what we ride others will experience none of that
This summer when you experience issues do something about it
Remember the POWER OF THE PEOPLEDocument it Photos videos and written
accounts of the situations you encounterThen if you live in a provinceterritory with a
Riders Rights Organization like BCCOM ABATE BRO Coalition of Manitoba Motorcycle Groups
RAGE or the newly formed Atlantic Motorcycle Coalition get that information into them so that they have something concrete to work with
They canrsquot help you or anyone else unless YOU give them something to work with
If you are in a province where there is no collective to represent your voice like in Alberta NWT YT - the only three regions without a provincialterritorial lobbying voice then yoursquoll really want to document things well especially if it involves court and lawyers If it is about roadways and other concerns you can at least present your MLA with the information
Every rider who experiences something of a discomforting nature should stand up and say something do something so that the others who come after you might not have to experience the same thing
If you arenrsquot a member of your local riders rights coalition consider becoming one
Our voice counts be it as an individual taxpayer or in a collective with many voices united but they only count when the persons we are discussing our
situation with can actually do something about itWhining and not taking the right actions do
nothing to alleviate problems - so this summer get a camera for your motorcycle or helmet have a note pad and a pen in a tool pouch or jacket pocket and remember the information you take down and share with the right people will do some good if not today somewhere down the road
Thatrsquos whatrsquos on my mind today what are your thoughts on the topic of the Power of the People
Have a great day and if you are one of the lucky ones who is riding today please remember to ride like everyone around you is blind and cannot see you
Until next week I am your editor Belt Drive Betty

Art amp The Motorcycle My Name Milton BeginMake Harley DavidsonYear 1993Title ldquoFresh Paint n Old LeatherrdquoArtist Jeremy Ferguson
The tragedy of the space shuttle Challenger is what gave me the idea of the paint scheme I knew I wanted to keep the blue color on the bike After all I as well as the people who know me have always referred to the bike as Olrsquo Blue Flames and skulls have been well overdone so it came to me scorched paint and steel Must have been what the shuttle was going thru for that split second in the early stage of re-entry
The bike was shipped out of Milwaukee in 1993 I rode it to Milwaukee in 2003 for the 100th Anniversary Ride Home Celebration for Harley Davidson Plans were made to ride it home again in 2013 for the 110th Anniversary Fresh paint was in order Hence the name Fresh Paint n Old Leather I have kept and still ride with the same leather for all too many years Although you canrsquot see many of the details in the picture Jeremy scratched in the dates after it was painted onto the bottom of the front fender It looks awesome because Jeremy is a talented individual
If I am able I will ride home again in 2023 The bike will undoubtedly make it

aimless direction with your eyes closed but your hands refuse to relinquish their grips
There is a time when the mind gleefully spins events amp memories into painful brutal tellings amp the tears dry upon your cheeks as fast as the wind can touch them leaving no trace
This is the time when intelligent rationale simply fails amp pure raw emotion takes over
Coherent thought is impossibleSpeech is non-existentThe primal need to fight- flee or fuck has kicked
into overdrive amp so with the flick of a thumb you opt for the fastest although not necessarily Wisest course of action amp race away from your demons at breakneck speed almost daring them to catch you
And the racechase is onMile after mile flashes past beneath you amp you
handle the bike as easily as breathing There are times when you ldquobecome onerdquo with it amp this is surely that time
It is pure sensation the adrenalin rush of exhilaration that isnrsquot noticed
The passage of time on a stopwatch held by the hands of the Gods
Death might ride a pale horse but you have a Harley
And yet at some point there is the indescribable

You climb off the bike amp stretch for a moment amp look skyward as

And as you throw a leg over amp slide back on you find yourself asking Spirit in whatever form you perceive it to be to guide your wheels home again
And calmer more at peace you expect that This ride you intend to not only remember but enjoy

On the sixth day God turned to Archangel Gabriel and said Today
I am going to create a land called Canada It will be a land of outstanding natural beauty It shall have tall majestic mountains full of mountain goats and eagles beautiful sparkling lakes bountiful with bass and trout forests full of elk and moose high cliffs over-looking sandy beaches with an abundance of sea life and rivers stocked with salmon
God continued
I shall make the land rich in resources so as to make the inhabitants prosper I shall call these inhabitants Canadians and they shall be known as the most friendly people on the earth
But Lord asked Gabriel dont you think you are being too generous to these Canadians
Not really replied GodJust wait and see the winters I am going to give

and they were in a mall for the first time in their life The father and son were strolling around while the wife shopped

While the boy and his father were watching with amazement a fat old lady in a wheel chair rolled up to the moving walls and pressed a button The walls opened and the lady rolled between them into a small room The walls closed and the boy and his father watched the small circular numbers above the walls light up sequentially They continued to watch until it reached the last number and then the numbers began to light in the reverse order Then the walls opened up again and a gorgeous voluptuous 24-year-old blonde woman stepped out The father not taking his eyes off the young woman said quietly to his son

The Touch of a healerAn Irishman in a wheelchair entered a restaurant
one afternoon and asked the waitress for a cup of coffee The Irishman looked across the restaurant and asked Is that Jesus sitting over there The waitress nodded yes so the Irishman told her to give Jesus a cup of coffee on him
The next patron to come in was an Englishman with a hunched back He shuffled over to a booth painfully sat down and asked for a cup of hot tea He also glanced across the restaurant and asked Is that Jesus over there The waitress nodded so the Englishman said to give Jesus a cup of hot tea my treat
The third patron to come into the restaurant was a Redneck on crutches He hobbled over to a booth sat down and hollered Hey there sweet thang Hows about gettin me a cold glass of Coke He too looked across the restaurant and asked Is that
Gods boy over there The waitress once again nodded that it was so the Redneck said to give Jesus a cold glass of Coke on my bill
As Jesus got up to leave he passed by the Irishman touched him and said For your kindness you are healed The Irishman felt the strength come back to his legs got up and danced a jig right out the door
Jesus also passed by the Englishman touched him and said For your kindness you are healed The Englishman felt his back straightening up and he raised his hands praised the Lord and did a series of back flips out the door
Then Jesus walked up to the Redneck
The Redneck jumped up and yelled ldquoDonrsquot touch me Irsquom drawinrsquo disabilityrdquo
The most important thing for all motorcycle riders and vehicle drivers in Saskatchewan right now is standing-up and getting YOUR voice heardhellipand COUNTED
When it comes to the Saskatchewan Rate Review process each and every voice matters no matter how big no matter how small Every voice every opinion matters Use this process to make YOUR VOICE COUNT BEFORE April 28 2014 After thathellipit is too late
RAGE is here to continue what we started so successfully last year To continue to lobby SGI and the Provincial Government to put real and long-term public policy forward to end the continuous cycle of rate increases being implemented to
cover up escalating high-risk driving behaviour in Saskatchewan In a nutshell to stop just raising rates and not much else
If you parked a vehicle on the street downtown (any type of vehicle) and just left it there till it caused an accident How long would it take for that vehicle to be at-fault for causing one That is if it wasnrsquot stolen or vandalized first
Now if a person comes along gets into that same vehicle and drives off looking at their cellphone and texting How long
If it is a motorcycle and a person who just wrote their learners with zero experience (other than maybe a ride around the block) comes along gets on and rides off into traffic How long
The great thing about what we are putting forward is that it addresses ALL driver behavior Not vehicles but those who drive them ALL of us
You as a motorcycle and vehicle owner need to be speaking up this yearhellipin Saskatchewan you are more than likely both Making sure YOUR voice
Stand Up and Be Counted

To book an appointment or find out more about the BodyTalk System call
gets counted To stop the endless cycle of just raising rates with not much else
This will allow RAGE to have a strong voice when it comes to the Personal Injury Insurance Review happening later this year Remember YOUR ldquoa-la-carterdquo recommendation has been approved by government
To continue to fight for mandatory safety training (Yes RAGE has always wanted this to be mandatory)
To continue to work with SGI on the things they are already implementing as a result of RAGE and ALL YOUR VOICES
YOUR VOICEno matter what your messageMATTERS to RAGE
Without all YOUR voicesindividuallyeach counting as 1UNITED into manyhellipSGI will simply not listen
Since the 1980rsquos and up until last yearvery few voices were raised to be counted during the Rate Review Process SGI pretty much did what they wantedthen last year BAM
For years SGI shut out anyone any group many efforts by the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel and the Provincial Government for any changeswhyNO UNITED VOICES Yes they brought in the 3 year MGDL in 2011 However they didnrsquot work with the groups involved past initial consultations SGI came to their own conclusions (no one could agree) and implemented what they
wanted SGI then stopped returning calls and continued to increase rates in 2012 and 2013
Even the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel has had difficulty getting the information they need from SGI to make informed decisions
Is it little wonder that the Minister Responsible for SGI felt she didnrsquot have to listen to the ldquosuggestionrdquo of the Rate Review Panel After all they never really had in previous years
Hammering us with another 15 increase could have been meant to knock us off our motorcycles and give up After all that hard workhellipand yet another increase Irsquom betting they expected us to cry in our coffee about how unfair they are about how they just do want they want anyway how we should just privatize and then do nothing more than that
Now that might have workedhellipin the past That is until last year the first time since the 1980rsquos when RAGE worked hard to organize YOUR voices YOU each used your own voices You each counted Then RAGE presented a proposal that took EACH ONE and MADE THEM COUNT as a UNITED VOICE
Then we did the unthinkablehellipWE STAYED We werenrsquot just there for 3 meetings WE
were 100 ALL INhellipFOR YOU To make sure YOUR VOICES continued to count RAGE continued to work with SGI on the wording for the recommendations put forward providing information for awareness sharing the ldquoCount Your Motorcyclerdquo game and much more
When it comes right down to it YOUR opinions and comments should matter to YOU IT does not matter if you donrsquot agree with the overall message of RAGE or your local riding club group
association coffee groupwhatever WHAT MATTERSis YOU getting YOUR VOICE
heard YOU canrsquot leave it up to everyone else You canrsquot assume anyone else is going to do this for YOU WE ALL MUST FIGHT
The worst thing you can do is nothing THAT is even worse than complaining and doing nothing Complaincomplain to your hearts contentto the Sask Rate Review Panel
THEN go have coffeeIf you canrsquot make it to the meeting in person
please at the very least contact the Rate Review Panel with YOUR voice
Each of our own voices count as 1 in this processjust as the voice of RAGE only counts as 1 We know SGI only listens when there are MANY following a UNITED theme
YOU can get YOUR voice heardand COUNTEDby submitting your comments regarding the application by April 28 2014 using any of the following methods

After a magnificent breakfast I started loading up my bike and it wasnrsquot long before the gang arrived to come take me sightseeing
Our first stop of the day after topping up our tanks was at the look out of Lac Saint Jean
From here you truly get a sense of how immense this lake is
We took some time to admire the view and chat about the plans for the rest of the day
Our next stop was to be the Camp Musical a purely French speaking musical camp for students to come and immerse themselves in the culture of the region and the music that is their passion
The camp has numerous housing units and the most incredible concert hall The Raymond Tremblay concert hall has 320 seats 2 piano rooms a bistro terrace and exhibition hall The Egyptian goddess Hathor is symbolized here and she represents happiness joy and music
The acoustics even when you are just speaking
well stunning would be the word to describe the sound quality
Everything about this 40-year-old institute screams creativity We went up to the gazebo on the observation deck and took in the panorama Breathtakingly beautiful you can see why this region inspires music and lyrics
After our tour of the camp was done we headed out towards the Village Historique Val-Jalbert Canadarsquos BEST preserved Ghost Town I couldnrsquot wait
The ride from the Camp Musical to Val-Jalbert which is just northwest of Chambord took about 30 minutes It was a wee bit overcast but the temperature was perfect for riding
When we arrived at Val-Jalbert we headed into the gorgeous visitor information centre and were assigned a tour guide named Michelle Pelletier Michelle turned out to be an amazing tour guide
She spoke in both French and English easily and made all of us feel so welcome

We got in an electric cart and began our tour with Michelle telling us about the history of this town and why it is such a significant tourism and historical attraction
You see this town was the dream of one man Damase Jalbert He was the founder of the Ouiatchouan Pulp Company that built a pulp mill
here The town he founded for his employees started out as Saint-Georges-de-Ouiatchouan named for the river and the falls that powered the mill The name was changed to Val-Jalbert in 1913 in honor of the man whose dream it was
Damase wanted to build the best company town and provide his employees with a rarified quality of living
He died suddenly three years after opening the mill The mill faced a cash shortage and was bought by American shareholders in 1904 In 1909 the Chicoutimi Pulp Company bought it
From 1909 to 1922 the village flourished and was the envy of many surrounding communities
The company town offered employees electricity and running water in their homes a good 25 years before anyone else in Quebec had power
In 1923 the demand for mechanical pulp began to fall and by 1924 most of the workers had been laid off
On August 13th 1927 all operations ceased and over the next few years the village became abandoned
In 1942 the government took the property back for non-payment of taxes and in 1970 Val-Jalbert had new life breathed into it as a tourist attraction In recent years the government of Quebec has spent 19+ million dollars to upgrade and improve the visitors information centre put in a glass observation deck and a whole host of other improvements
Val-Jalbert must have been the most amazing town in the region in its day because this place is utterly amazing today The Quebec government has spent a lot of money and time restoring this
place to preserve the history and they have done an incredible job
Our first stop on the tour was the convent school where we met ldquoMother Superiorrdquo who took us through the school and answered our questions She was stern but I think there was a glint of mischief in her eyes as she ldquodisciplinedrdquo us on proper etiquette
There was the most amazing art display in
one room and in another the historical timeline of the residents of Val-Jalbert to take in The antiques and furnishings truly made you feel you were stuck in a time warp
After touring the school we headed towards the post office The ldquopostmistressrdquo was this chatty little gal that had us peeing ourselves we were laughing so hard It was pretty cool to see the old stamps and the various bits of equipment of the day
We walked up the street to take a tour of the restored duplexes that line the main street You have to see these places to truly appreciate them Imagine 1910 and you can flip a switch and have lights turn a tap and have water flush a toilet and not have to walk to the outhouse
These company houses were so well built and the people who lived here were fiercely loyal to the company that treated them so well
From the duplexes we went to the general store where we ran into the ldquoMayorrdquo the only person in town to have a car The general store offers up everything a visitor could need plus acts as a museum with lots of interesting period pieces on display
Michelle had gotten keys to show us the duplexes that have been upgraded and make up the 4 star accommodations offered here
We walked across the street and were taken to view to the most amazing hotel rooms
Rustic and yet modern these rooms are spacious well appointed and every one of them has unique little shadow boxes filled with antiques
All of the modern appliances Internet boxes and TV are all hidden in closets so that they are not visible It makes for a very appealing deacutecor
Although the rooms appear to only have one bed in the matter of a few moments Michelle had the
couch taken apart and the bed folded down out of the wall for a second bed
The bathrooms are absolute marvels with big tubs and glass showers
The parking for the hotel rooms is hidden behind a row of trees so that there is no real visual of anything modern on the face of things
From the hotel rooms we got back in the electric cart and headed towards the ldquoruinsrdquo Although many of the duplexes have been restored Michelle explained to us that the style of construction for the company houses had been changed and that
the newer houses had collapsed on themselves Some of the buildings are slated for restoration but many are too far-gone The streets they line are preserved so that one can walk by the ruins and get a feel for how large this town really was and how well laid out it was
Our next stop was the Mill Impressive is a good word to describe this place We had our lunch in the Old Mill Restaurant The food served here complimented the
atmosphere ndash IMPECCABLEThe chef Carl Murray has a great reputation that
he totally lives up toThe service
the food the atmosphere and the company were all top drawer
After our fabulous meal it was time to head to the tram and go experience the waterfalls
The ride up to the top gives you the most magnificent view of the region The Ouiatchouan Falls are some 65 feet higher than the Niagara Falls
and the power of them is palpable The rushing water is almost deafening as you walk out on to the glass observation deck
From the falls we walked down to the mill again and took in the most impressive interactive show I have ever experienced In the underbelly of the once abandoned mill amongst all of the monster gearing and shafts the lights go dim you feel the mist in the air and all of a sudden the walls become alive with characters from the original town and they take you through the historical timeline of the village and its people
It is absolutely captivating you become totally involved in the lives and the hardship of the villagers
The show signaled the end of our tour and Michelle took us back to the visitor information centre and sent us all off with gifts of blueberry jam and blueberry tea to remember our visit by
My bike had been acting up off and on and I had been keeping an eye out on a leak coming from the front of the engine The noise from the shifter region was becoming louder but I wasnrsquot experiencing any power loss so I kept an ear out and we kept riding
Our next stop was at the Cheddar Cheese Museum in Saint-Prime where a sweet young man took us on a tour
He showed us the old-fashioned way cheddar cheese was made and then we got to tour the museum portion of the factory 4 generations of the family Perron have made cheddar cheese here
The museum has over 650 artifacts that involve the familyrsquos history in cheese making including the stamps and other machinery used in exporting the cheese
The Cheddar Cheese Museum offers interactive displays and hosts several workshops on the art of making cheddar Upstairs you can view the family home of the Perronrsquos and see all of the period specific furnishings
Along with guided tours you can also sample the various types of cheddar cheese which we did and oh my I have never tasted cheddar that was so smooth and rich
After thanking our young guide for the fabulous tour we headed off
We stopped at Tim Hortonrsquos for a coffee and sitting out on the curb in front of my bike I could see the leak was getting worse I was very concerned and asked if there was a shop nearby where I could at least check the oil level in my primary
Rejean talked to one of the local riders Denis AKA Tarte au Sucre (Sweet Pie) and he took us to Carl Tremblayrsquos shop Carl is a mechanic that many here swear by His rates are far cheaper than the dealerships and every rider in the region says hersquos a guru He took the primary apart and sure
enough discovered that the compensating sprocket was dead and the stator was leaking With parts ordered and Rejeanrsquos wife going to the Harley shop to pick them up Francine Lynne Rejean and Denis rode me to my hotel the Motel Chutes des Pegraveres in Dolbeau-Mistassini My gear and luggage was distributed over three of the four bikes
By the time we got in it was dark and everyone had to head home I enjoyed a wonderful steak for supper and then headed off to my beautiful room and after a boiling hot pounding shower I climbed into the queen-sized bed and with the sound of the falls lulling me to sleep
And thatrsquos where I will leave you until next weekhellipBelt Drive Betty

2 - Everyone Wants To Talk To YouIt really doesnrsquot matter what kind of motorcycle
you ride yoursquoll find middle-aged men stare at you and your bike with a dreamy lust before giving you an unwanted compliment Chances are theyrsquoll have no idea what the bike is either
Choose a classic or even worse a modern classic and yoursquoll become a magnet for old men who have the knack of being able to have a conversation with you without you needing to add any input Yoursquoll reach for your helmet on more than one occasion but not be able to put in on and leave because theyrsquoll ask you a question when you try Yoursquoll be subjected to questions about your
bike that you donrsquot know the answer to or even care about
The conversation will go something like this Is that a Triumph I had a Triumph once (followed by 10 minutes of ldquoback in my day rdquo)
3 - When You Say Yoursquore A Biker This Is The First Image That
Comes To Peoplehellip
5 Things They Never Told You About Becoming A Bikerby Robert Whaley NW Ontario Motorcycling
You could be a nice guy you could have something that resembles a career you could do the occasional BBQ it doesnrsquot matter When you mention to anyone at a party that yoursquove got a motorcycle a picture of this guy will pop into their head Then as you explain that you donrsquot ride a cruiser and yoursquove got a sportsbike theyrsquoll just think yoursquore speaking Greek and will reevaluate you as some sort of nut job who tries to kill himself on the highways Itrsquos a no-win
4 - Bees and Other Flying Things Will Start To Scare You
Anything flying will scare you When yoursquore sitting around at a family BBQ and everyone starts going mental the moment a bee or a wasp arrives on the scene you sit there perfectly calm and wonder what all the fuss is about
However - when yoursquore on a bike itrsquos a different story There you are riding along on a nice sunny day with your visor up enjoying the countryside and the winding road in front of you
Then you spot it 50 metres away a large insect looks like its stopped going about its daily business and itrsquos homing in at you instead Before you can do anything about it it goes THHHHHWAP right on your cheek Close but luckily it didnrsquot get you in the eye Then you panic the little bastardrsquos still in your helmet You insert a clumsy leather-clad finger and try and flick whatever it is away but probably end up pissing it off even further Then you crank on the brakes and perform the worldrsquos fastest lid removal followed by a little bit of a flappy-armed dance
5 - You Canrsquot Figure Out Who To Wave ToWhen you get a motorcycle you become part of a
club Itrsquos a club no biker really talks about but yoursquore in it now and yoursquore not allowed to leave Ever When you first pass your test yoursquoll wave at anyone and everyone If yoursquore heading down a road and a dog looks at you the right way yoursquoll probably wave at him too
Unfortunately this will change There are no set rules as to how it will change but yoursquoll end up developing your own code Me I wave at everyone dogs too and donrsquot give a second thought to the riders that donrsquot wave back But thatrsquos just me Yoursquoll have to work out your own code
Breaking is one of the most important things that you will learn to do on a motorcycle When we first learn to ride we are taught techniques to protect ourselves from crashing such as breaking shifting and countersteering But generally the most effective way to avoid an accident is through proper use of the brakes
The rear brake in particular is probably one of the least understood controls on a motorcycle Many riders donrsquot use the rear brake at all claiming that it doesnrsquot actually aid in slowing down or stopping the bike and say that it locks up the rear tire when trying to use it In fact most experts agree that a balanced use of both the front and rear brake is the most effective way of slowing or stopping a motorcycle
The rear brake also plays a huge role in adding stability to the bike when maneuvering
Because of the weight distribution on a motorcycle the braking balance of stopping power between the front and rear is 70 on the front and 30 on the rear This should tell you that if you donrsquot use the rear brake at all you are loosing 30 of the potential stopping power on your bike This could become a critical factor if you find yourself in trouble and have to try
and avoid an accident
Why does the rear brake lock up Well once again it has to do with weight distribution When you find yourself in a braking situation and start applying the brakes the geometry of the bike changes (due partly to the suspension) and much of the total weight (bike + rider) is transferred to the front This allows the rider to apply much more front brake than rear brake (the 7030 ratio)
Learning the finer points of your bikersquos braking performance is the key to keeping your bike in control It is a good idea to explore those limits in a safe environment
Practice repeated stops in an abandoned parking lot and yoursquoll start to get a feel for the amount of
effort that triggers tire slippage or rear tire lock-up
Try stopping with your front brake only then rear only and then a combination of both Once you become more familiar with your bikersquos brakes the sensations of weight transfer will start to feel more apparent and familiar That way yoursquoll be much more aware of the limits of your bike and yoursquoll be much better prepared in stopping

CAV To Hold AGM During ATLANTICADE (Summerside PE)
ndash The relationship started off by accident back in 2007 in
Moncton during the inaugural Atlanticade eventldquoI saw these guys who were hanging around
together with CAV crests on their vests and didnrsquot really know who they wererdquo says Dale Hicks festival founder and chairman Hicks began to connect the dots on the final day when the closing parade ended at the local veteranrsquos health care center and the CAV riders were very engaged with the vets ldquoSo I starting asking ndash who are these guys and what does CAV stand forrdquo
That was over seven years ago and now the relationship between Atlanticade and the Canadian Army Veterans is as strong a bond as you will find anywhere in the world of motorcycle events
ldquoOnce we became aware of who the CAV group was and what they represented I said well this group reflects the best of what it means to be Canadian so we certainly wanted to build a relationship with themrdquo recalls Hicks
Since then CAV has played a significant role in some form or fashion at each Atlanticade event The festival now has a
ldquoSupport the Troopsrdquo activity incorporated into the schedule each year where CAV plays a lead role In addition CAV will also be found leading parades such as the Confederation Bridge Cruise and the Parade of Iron Horses
In fact in 2011 Hicks was surprised and honored to be presented with an
honorary membership into the CAV organization at the closing awards breakfast at the Algonquin Hotel in St Andrews
ldquoYeah they caught me off guard with that and I certainly was humbled and honored by to be presented the crest by Trapperrdquo says Hicks ldquoI donrsquot feel worthy of wearing the crest but I do sport it proudly at certain times during Atlanticaderdquo
The unique bond between the two organizations continues for the upcoming 8th annual festival being held in Summerside PEI from June 27th to

(Atlanticade chairman Dale Hicks had just presented Trapper Cane with the annual ldquoExperienced Rider Awardrdquo
when Cane turned the tables by presenting Hicks with his honorary CAV membership during the 2011 event)
July 1st Recenty CAV founder Paul (Trapper) Cane announced the grouprsquos annual general meeting will take place in Summerside in conjunction with Atlanticade
ldquoAtlanticade brings great energy to all riders and our CAV members certainly appreciate the extra efforts put forth by Dalersquos team to give us some profile at the eventrdquo says Cane ldquoNo doubt it has been a great relationship between the two organizations and we hope it continues well into the futurerdquo
For his part Hicks says that Atlanticade is very proud to be able to host the CAV ndash AGM as part of the 2014 festival ldquoWe always have a good turnout of CAV members at our event but this will mean an additional boost in participants from across the country We hope we can make it a little special for them and something they will remember years down the roadrdquo

Wyz WisdomPeople often take the time to complain but rarely take the time to say ldquoyou done goodrdquo ndash take a momenthellipspread the happyhelliptell someone when theyrsquove done a good job today ndash WyzWmnSome Donkey WisdomOne day a farmerrsquos donkey fell down into a well The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to doFinally he decided the animal was old and the well needed to be covered up anyway it just wasnrsquot worth it to retrieve the donkey He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well At first the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly Then to everyonersquos amazement he quieted downA few shovel loads later the farmer finally looked down the well and was astonished at what he saw With every shovel of dirt that hit his back the donkey was doing something amazing He would shake it off and take a step up on the dirt As the farmerrsquos neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal he would shake it off
and take a step up Pretty soon everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted offAnd the moral ishellip Life is going to shovel dirt on you all kinds of dirt The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up Each of our troubles is a steppingstone We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping never giving up Shake it off and take a step up

As we see in the conflicts that are brewing around this world of ours the power of the people to affect change is powerful
A small group of committed individuals can accomplish much
They can topple governments or back them up against a wall
The on highway motorcycle community in Canada is rapidly approaching 1 million registered motorcycles
Every weekend you will see thousands of us gathered at various events across our respective provinces and territories always riding and working for charities that mean something to us that hit
home for usVery seldom however do you see this community
rally around itself and its own issues outside of riders we lovecare about needing help
As we get prepared for the 2014 riding season we as riders are going to face a variety of issues Some will affect all of us other issues will only affect certain riders
Insurance is an issue that affects us all as are the condition of the highways in this country So is distracted driving
As a rider who has ridden across this great land of ours I can tell you road maintenance is also an issue in the majority of regions
Some of us will experience police harassment others will ride uninterrupted
Some of us will experience headaches in communities with Motorcycle Only Noise Bylaws others will never be detained or bothered
Some of us will have great experiences at dealerships and others not so much
Some of us will experience discrimination and be turned away from establishments because of how we dress and what we ride others will experience none of that
This summer when you experience issues do something about it
Remember the POWER OF THE PEOPLEDocument it Photos videos and written
accounts of the situations you encounterThen if you live in a provinceterritory with a
Riders Rights Organization like BCCOM ABATE BRO Coalition of Manitoba Motorcycle Groups
RAGE or the newly formed Atlantic Motorcycle Coalition get that information into them so that they have something concrete to work with
They canrsquot help you or anyone else unless YOU give them something to work with
If you are in a province where there is no collective to represent your voice like in Alberta NWT YT - the only three regions without a provincialterritorial lobbying voice then yoursquoll really want to document things well especially if it involves court and lawyers If it is about roadways and other concerns you can at least present your MLA with the information
Every rider who experiences something of a discomforting nature should stand up and say something do something so that the others who come after you might not have to experience the same thing
If you arenrsquot a member of your local riders rights coalition consider becoming one
Our voice counts be it as an individual taxpayer or in a collective with many voices united but they only count when the persons we are discussing our
situation with can actually do something about itWhining and not taking the right actions do
nothing to alleviate problems - so this summer get a camera for your motorcycle or helmet have a note pad and a pen in a tool pouch or jacket pocket and remember the information you take down and share with the right people will do some good if not today somewhere down the road
Thatrsquos whatrsquos on my mind today what are your thoughts on the topic of the Power of the People
Have a great day and if you are one of the lucky ones who is riding today please remember to ride like everyone around you is blind and cannot see you
Until next week I am your editor Belt Drive Betty

Art amp The Motorcycle My Name Milton BeginMake Harley DavidsonYear 1993Title ldquoFresh Paint n Old LeatherrdquoArtist Jeremy Ferguson
The tragedy of the space shuttle Challenger is what gave me the idea of the paint scheme I knew I wanted to keep the blue color on the bike After all I as well as the people who know me have always referred to the bike as Olrsquo Blue Flames and skulls have been well overdone so it came to me scorched paint and steel Must have been what the shuttle was going thru for that split second in the early stage of re-entry
The bike was shipped out of Milwaukee in 1993 I rode it to Milwaukee in 2003 for the 100th Anniversary Ride Home Celebration for Harley Davidson Plans were made to ride it home again in 2013 for the 110th Anniversary Fresh paint was in order Hence the name Fresh Paint n Old Leather I have kept and still ride with the same leather for all too many years Although you canrsquot see many of the details in the picture Jeremy scratched in the dates after it was painted onto the bottom of the front fender It looks awesome because Jeremy is a talented individual
If I am able I will ride home again in 2023 The bike will undoubtedly make it

On the sixth day God turned to Archangel Gabriel and said Today
I am going to create a land called Canada It will be a land of outstanding natural beauty It shall have tall majestic mountains full of mountain goats and eagles beautiful sparkling lakes bountiful with bass and trout forests full of elk and moose high cliffs over-looking sandy beaches with an abundance of sea life and rivers stocked with salmon
God continued
I shall make the land rich in resources so as to make the inhabitants prosper I shall call these inhabitants Canadians and they shall be known as the most friendly people on the earth
But Lord asked Gabriel dont you think you are being too generous to these Canadians
Not really replied GodJust wait and see the winters I am going to give

The next patron to come in was an Englishman with a hunched back He shuffled over to a booth painfully sat down and asked for a cup of hot tea He also glanced across the restaurant and asked Is that Jesus over there The waitress nodded so the Englishman said to give Jesus a cup of hot tea my treat
The third patron to come into the restaurant was a Redneck on crutches He hobbled over to a booth sat down and hollered Hey there sweet thang Hows about gettin me a cold glass of Coke He too looked across the restaurant and asked Is that
Gods boy over there The waitress once again nodded that it was so the Redneck said to give Jesus a cold glass of Coke on my bill
As Jesus got up to leave he passed by the Irishman touched him and said For your kindness you are healed The Irishman felt the strength come back to his legs got up and danced a jig right out the door
Jesus also passed by the Englishman touched him and said For your kindness you are healed The Englishman felt his back straightening up and he raised his hands praised the Lord and did a series of back flips out the door
Then Jesus walked up to the Redneck
The Redneck jumped up and yelled ldquoDonrsquot touch me Irsquom drawinrsquo disabilityrdquo
The most important thing for all motorcycle riders and vehicle drivers in Saskatchewan right now is standing-up and getting YOUR voice heardhellipand COUNTED
When it comes to the Saskatchewan Rate Review process each and every voice matters no matter how big no matter how small Every voice every opinion matters Use this process to make YOUR VOICE COUNT BEFORE April 28 2014 After thathellipit is too late
RAGE is here to continue what we started so successfully last year To continue to lobby SGI and the Provincial Government to put real and long-term public policy forward to end the continuous cycle of rate increases being implemented to
cover up escalating high-risk driving behaviour in Saskatchewan In a nutshell to stop just raising rates and not much else
If you parked a vehicle on the street downtown (any type of vehicle) and just left it there till it caused an accident How long would it take for that vehicle to be at-fault for causing one That is if it wasnrsquot stolen or vandalized first
Now if a person comes along gets into that same vehicle and drives off looking at their cellphone and texting How long
If it is a motorcycle and a person who just wrote their learners with zero experience (other than maybe a ride around the block) comes along gets on and rides off into traffic How long
The great thing about what we are putting forward is that it addresses ALL driver behavior Not vehicles but those who drive them ALL of us
You as a motorcycle and vehicle owner need to be speaking up this yearhellipin Saskatchewan you are more than likely both Making sure YOUR voice
Stand Up and Be Counted

This will allow RAGE to have a strong voice when it comes to the Personal Injury Insurance Review happening later this year Remember YOUR ldquoa-la-carterdquo recommendation has been approved by government
To continue to fight for mandatory safety training (Yes RAGE has always wanted this to be mandatory)
To continue to work with SGI on the things they are already implementing as a result of RAGE and ALL YOUR VOICES
YOUR VOICEno matter what your messageMATTERS to RAGE
Without all YOUR voicesindividuallyeach counting as 1UNITED into manyhellipSGI will simply not listen
Since the 1980rsquos and up until last yearvery few voices were raised to be counted during the Rate Review Process SGI pretty much did what they wantedthen last year BAM
For years SGI shut out anyone any group many efforts by the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel and the Provincial Government for any changeswhyNO UNITED VOICES Yes they brought in the 3 year MGDL in 2011 However they didnrsquot work with the groups involved past initial consultations SGI came to their own conclusions (no one could agree) and implemented what they
wanted SGI then stopped returning calls and continued to increase rates in 2012 and 2013
Even the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel has had difficulty getting the information they need from SGI to make informed decisions
Is it little wonder that the Minister Responsible for SGI felt she didnrsquot have to listen to the ldquosuggestionrdquo of the Rate Review Panel After all they never really had in previous years
Hammering us with another 15 increase could have been meant to knock us off our motorcycles and give up After all that hard workhellipand yet another increase Irsquom betting they expected us to cry in our coffee about how unfair they are about how they just do want they want anyway how we should just privatize and then do nothing more than that
Now that might have workedhellipin the past That is until last year the first time since the 1980rsquos when RAGE worked hard to organize YOUR voices YOU each used your own voices You each counted Then RAGE presented a proposal that took EACH ONE and MADE THEM COUNT as a UNITED VOICE
Then we did the unthinkablehellipWE STAYED We werenrsquot just there for 3 meetings WE
were 100 ALL INhellipFOR YOU To make sure YOUR VOICES continued to count RAGE continued to work with SGI on the wording for the recommendations put forward providing information for awareness sharing the ldquoCount Your Motorcyclerdquo game and much more
When it comes right down to it YOUR opinions and comments should matter to YOU IT does not matter if you donrsquot agree with the overall message of RAGE or your local riding club group
association coffee groupwhatever WHAT MATTERSis YOU getting YOUR VOICE
heard YOU canrsquot leave it up to everyone else You canrsquot assume anyone else is going to do this for YOU WE ALL MUST FIGHT
The worst thing you can do is nothing THAT is even worse than complaining and doing nothing Complaincomplain to your hearts contentto the Sask Rate Review Panel
THEN go have coffeeIf you canrsquot make it to the meeting in person
please at the very least contact the Rate Review Panel with YOUR voice
Each of our own voices count as 1 in this processjust as the voice of RAGE only counts as 1 We know SGI only listens when there are MANY following a UNITED theme

After a magnificent breakfast I started loading up my bike and it wasnrsquot long before the gang arrived to come take me sightseeing
Our first stop of the day after topping up our tanks was at the look out of Lac Saint Jean
From here you truly get a sense of how immense this lake is
We took some time to admire the view and chat about the plans for the rest of the day
Our next stop was to be the Camp Musical a purely French speaking musical camp for students to come and immerse themselves in the culture of the region and the music that is their passion
The camp has numerous housing units and the most incredible concert hall The Raymond Tremblay concert hall has 320 seats 2 piano rooms a bistro terrace and exhibition hall The Egyptian goddess Hathor is symbolized here and she represents happiness joy and music
The acoustics even when you are just speaking
well stunning would be the word to describe the sound quality
Everything about this 40-year-old institute screams creativity We went up to the gazebo on the observation deck and took in the panorama Breathtakingly beautiful you can see why this region inspires music and lyrics
After our tour of the camp was done we headed out towards the Village Historique Val-Jalbert Canadarsquos BEST preserved Ghost Town I couldnrsquot wait
The ride from the Camp Musical to Val-Jalbert which is just northwest of Chambord took about 30 minutes It was a wee bit overcast but the temperature was perfect for riding
When we arrived at Val-Jalbert we headed into the gorgeous visitor information centre and were assigned a tour guide named Michelle Pelletier Michelle turned out to be an amazing tour guide
She spoke in both French and English easily and made all of us feel so welcome

Saturday May 31st 2014 830 am Rain date June 1st rain or shine
We got in an electric cart and began our tour with Michelle telling us about the history of this town and why it is such a significant tourism and historical attraction
You see this town was the dream of one man Damase Jalbert He was the founder of the Ouiatchouan Pulp Company that built a pulp mill
here The town he founded for his employees started out as Saint-Georges-de-Ouiatchouan named for the river and the falls that powered the mill The name was changed to Val-Jalbert in 1913 in honor of the man whose dream it was
Damase wanted to build the best company town and provide his employees with a rarified quality of living
He died suddenly three years after opening the mill The mill faced a cash shortage and was bought by American shareholders in 1904 In 1909 the Chicoutimi Pulp Company bought it
From 1909 to 1922 the village flourished and was the envy of many surrounding communities
The company town offered employees electricity and running water in their homes a good 25 years before anyone else in Quebec had power
In 1923 the demand for mechanical pulp began to fall and by 1924 most of the workers had been laid off
On August 13th 1927 all operations ceased and over the next few years the village became abandoned
In 1942 the government took the property back for non-payment of taxes and in 1970 Val-Jalbert had new life breathed into it as a tourist attraction In recent years the government of Quebec has spent 19+ million dollars to upgrade and improve the visitors information centre put in a glass observation deck and a whole host of other improvements
Val-Jalbert must have been the most amazing town in the region in its day because this place is utterly amazing today The Quebec government has spent a lot of money and time restoring this
place to preserve the history and they have done an incredible job
Our first stop on the tour was the convent school where we met ldquoMother Superiorrdquo who took us through the school and answered our questions She was stern but I think there was a glint of mischief in her eyes as she ldquodisciplinedrdquo us on proper etiquette
There was the most amazing art display in
one room and in another the historical timeline of the residents of Val-Jalbert to take in The antiques and furnishings truly made you feel you were stuck in a time warp
After touring the school we headed towards the post office The ldquopostmistressrdquo was this chatty little gal that had us peeing ourselves we were laughing so hard It was pretty cool to see the old stamps and the various bits of equipment of the day
We walked up the street to take a tour of the restored duplexes that line the main street You have to see these places to truly appreciate them Imagine 1910 and you can flip a switch and have lights turn a tap and have water flush a toilet and not have to walk to the outhouse
These company houses were so well built and the people who lived here were fiercely loyal to the company that treated them so well
From the duplexes we went to the general store where we ran into the ldquoMayorrdquo the only person in town to have a car The general store offers up everything a visitor could need plus acts as a museum with lots of interesting period pieces on display
Michelle had gotten keys to show us the duplexes that have been upgraded and make up the 4 star accommodations offered here
We walked across the street and were taken to view to the most amazing hotel rooms
Rustic and yet modern these rooms are spacious well appointed and every one of them has unique little shadow boxes filled with antiques
All of the modern appliances Internet boxes and TV are all hidden in closets so that they are not visible It makes for a very appealing deacutecor
Although the rooms appear to only have one bed in the matter of a few moments Michelle had the
couch taken apart and the bed folded down out of the wall for a second bed
The bathrooms are absolute marvels with big tubs and glass showers
The parking for the hotel rooms is hidden behind a row of trees so that there is no real visual of anything modern on the face of things
From the hotel rooms we got back in the electric cart and headed towards the ldquoruinsrdquo Although many of the duplexes have been restored Michelle explained to us that the style of construction for the company houses had been changed and that
the newer houses had collapsed on themselves Some of the buildings are slated for restoration but many are too far-gone The streets they line are preserved so that one can walk by the ruins and get a feel for how large this town really was and how well laid out it was
Our next stop was the Mill Impressive is a good word to describe this place We had our lunch in the Old Mill Restaurant The food served here complimented the
atmosphere ndash IMPECCABLEThe chef Carl Murray has a great reputation that
he totally lives up toThe service
the food the atmosphere and the company were all top drawer
After our fabulous meal it was time to head to the tram and go experience the waterfalls
The ride up to the top gives you the most magnificent view of the region The Ouiatchouan Falls are some 65 feet higher than the Niagara Falls
and the power of them is palpable The rushing water is almost deafening as you walk out on to the glass observation deck
From the falls we walked down to the mill again and took in the most impressive interactive show I have ever experienced In the underbelly of the once abandoned mill amongst all of the monster gearing and shafts the lights go dim you feel the mist in the air and all of a sudden the walls become alive with characters from the original town and they take you through the historical timeline of the village and its people
It is absolutely captivating you become totally involved in the lives and the hardship of the villagers
The show signaled the end of our tour and Michelle took us back to the visitor information centre and sent us all off with gifts of blueberry jam and blueberry tea to remember our visit by
My bike had been acting up off and on and I had been keeping an eye out on a leak coming from the front of the engine The noise from the shifter region was becoming louder but I wasnrsquot experiencing any power loss so I kept an ear out and we kept riding
Our next stop was at the Cheddar Cheese Museum in Saint-Prime where a sweet young man took us on a tour
He showed us the old-fashioned way cheddar cheese was made and then we got to tour the museum portion of the factory 4 generations of the family Perron have made cheddar cheese here
The museum has over 650 artifacts that involve the familyrsquos history in cheese making including the stamps and other machinery used in exporting the cheese
The Cheddar Cheese Museum offers interactive displays and hosts several workshops on the art of making cheddar Upstairs you can view the family home of the Perronrsquos and see all of the period specific furnishings
Along with guided tours you can also sample the various types of cheddar cheese which we did and oh my I have never tasted cheddar that was so smooth and rich
After thanking our young guide for the fabulous tour we headed off
We stopped at Tim Hortonrsquos for a coffee and sitting out on the curb in front of my bike I could see the leak was getting worse I was very concerned and asked if there was a shop nearby where I could at least check the oil level in my primary
Rejean talked to one of the local riders Denis AKA Tarte au Sucre (Sweet Pie) and he took us to Carl Tremblayrsquos shop Carl is a mechanic that many here swear by His rates are far cheaper than the dealerships and every rider in the region says hersquos a guru He took the primary apart and sure
enough discovered that the compensating sprocket was dead and the stator was leaking With parts ordered and Rejeanrsquos wife going to the Harley shop to pick them up Francine Lynne Rejean and Denis rode me to my hotel the Motel Chutes des Pegraveres in Dolbeau-Mistassini My gear and luggage was distributed over three of the four bikes
By the time we got in it was dark and everyone had to head home I enjoyed a wonderful steak for supper and then headed off to my beautiful room and after a boiling hot pounding shower I climbed into the queen-sized bed and with the sound of the falls lulling me to sleep
And thatrsquos where I will leave you until next weekhellipBelt Drive Betty

1 - Yoursquoll Become a Better DriverTherersquos no doubt that riding a motorcycle has its
benefits especially when it comes to driving a car Riding a motorcycle teaches you to look out for people who are trying to kill you yoursquoll see hazards sooner and yoursquoll end up with Ninja-like machine control So when it comes to driving yoursquoll put all that to work and be a cut above the rest Hopefully
2 - Everyone Wants To Talk To YouIt really doesnrsquot matter what kind of motorcycle
you ride yoursquoll find middle-aged men stare at you and your bike with a dreamy lust before giving you an unwanted compliment Chances are theyrsquoll have no idea what the bike is either
Choose a classic or even worse a modern classic and yoursquoll become a magnet for old men who have the knack of being able to have a conversation with you without you needing to add any input Yoursquoll reach for your helmet on more than one occasion but not be able to put in on and leave because theyrsquoll ask you a question when you try Yoursquoll be subjected to questions about your
bike that you donrsquot know the answer to or even care about
The conversation will go something like this Is that a Triumph I had a Triumph once (followed by 10 minutes of ldquoback in my day rdquo)
3 - When You Say Yoursquore A Biker This Is The First Image That
Comes To Peoplehellip
5 Things They Never Told You About Becoming A Bikerby Robert Whaley NW Ontario Motorcycling
You could be a nice guy you could have something that resembles a career you could do the occasional BBQ it doesnrsquot matter When you mention to anyone at a party that yoursquove got a motorcycle a picture of this guy will pop into their head Then as you explain that you donrsquot ride a cruiser and yoursquove got a sportsbike theyrsquoll just think yoursquore speaking Greek and will reevaluate you as some sort of nut job who tries to kill himself on the highways Itrsquos a no-win
4 - Bees and Other Flying Things Will Start To Scare You
Anything flying will scare you When yoursquore sitting around at a family BBQ and everyone starts going mental the moment a bee or a wasp arrives on the scene you sit there perfectly calm and wonder what all the fuss is about
However - when yoursquore on a bike itrsquos a different story There you are riding along on a nice sunny day with your visor up enjoying the countryside and the winding road in front of you
Then you spot it 50 metres away a large insect looks like its stopped going about its daily business and itrsquos homing in at you instead Before you can do anything about it it goes THHHHHWAP right on your cheek Close but luckily it didnrsquot get you in the eye Then you panic the little bastardrsquos still in your helmet You insert a clumsy leather-clad finger and try and flick whatever it is away but probably end up pissing it off even further Then you crank on the brakes and perform the worldrsquos fastest lid removal followed by a little bit of a flappy-armed dance
5 - You Canrsquot Figure Out Who To Wave ToWhen you get a motorcycle you become part of a
club Itrsquos a club no biker really talks about but yoursquore in it now and yoursquore not allowed to leave Ever When you first pass your test yoursquoll wave at anyone and everyone If yoursquore heading down a road and a dog looks at you the right way yoursquoll probably wave at him too
Unfortunately this will change There are no set rules as to how it will change but yoursquoll end up developing your own code Me I wave at everyone dogs too and donrsquot give a second thought to the riders that donrsquot wave back But thatrsquos just me Yoursquoll have to work out your own code
Breaking is one of the most important things that you will learn to do on a motorcycle When we first learn to ride we are taught techniques to protect ourselves from crashing such as breaking shifting and countersteering But generally the most effective way to avoid an accident is through proper use of the brakes
The rear brake in particular is probably one of the least understood controls on a motorcycle Many riders donrsquot use the rear brake at all claiming that it doesnrsquot actually aid in slowing down or stopping the bike and say that it locks up the rear tire when trying to use it In fact most experts agree that a balanced use of both the front and rear brake is the most effective way of slowing or stopping a motorcycle
The rear brake also plays a huge role in adding stability to the bike when maneuvering
Because of the weight distribution on a motorcycle the braking balance of stopping power between the front and rear is 70 on the front and 30 on the rear This should tell you that if you donrsquot use the rear brake at all you are loosing 30 of the potential stopping power on your bike This could become a critical factor if you find yourself in trouble and have to try
and avoid an accident
Why does the rear brake lock up Well once again it has to do with weight distribution When you find yourself in a braking situation and start applying the brakes the geometry of the bike changes (due partly to the suspension) and much of the total weight (bike + rider) is transferred to the front This allows the rider to apply much more front brake than rear brake (the 7030 ratio)
Learning the finer points of your bikersquos braking performance is the key to keeping your bike in control It is a good idea to explore those limits in a safe environment
Practice repeated stops in an abandoned parking lot and yoursquoll start to get a feel for the amount of
effort that triggers tire slippage or rear tire lock-up
Try stopping with your front brake only then rear only and then a combination of both Once you become more familiar with your bikersquos brakes the sensations of weight transfer will start to feel more apparent and familiar That way yoursquoll be much more aware of the limits of your bike and yoursquoll be much better prepared in stopping

CAV To Hold AGM During ATLANTICADE (Summerside PE)
ndash The relationship started off by accident back in 2007 in
Moncton during the inaugural Atlanticade eventldquoI saw these guys who were hanging around
together with CAV crests on their vests and didnrsquot really know who they wererdquo says Dale Hicks festival founder and chairman Hicks began to connect the dots on the final day when the closing parade ended at the local veteranrsquos health care center and the CAV riders were very engaged with the vets ldquoSo I starting asking ndash who are these guys and what does CAV stand forrdquo
That was over seven years ago and now the relationship between Atlanticade and the Canadian Army Veterans is as strong a bond as you will find anywhere in the world of motorcycle events
ldquoOnce we became aware of who the CAV group was and what they represented I said well this group reflects the best of what it means to be Canadian so we certainly wanted to build a relationship with themrdquo recalls Hicks
Since then CAV has played a significant role in some form or fashion at each Atlanticade event The festival now has a
ldquoSupport the Troopsrdquo activity incorporated into the schedule each year where CAV plays a lead role In addition CAV will also be found leading parades such as the Confederation Bridge Cruise and the Parade of Iron Horses
In fact in 2011 Hicks was surprised and honored to be presented with an
honorary membership into the CAV organization at the closing awards breakfast at the Algonquin Hotel in St Andrews
ldquoYeah they caught me off guard with that and I certainly was humbled and honored by to be presented the crest by Trapperrdquo says Hicks ldquoI donrsquot feel worthy of wearing the crest but I do sport it proudly at certain times during Atlanticaderdquo
The unique bond between the two organizations continues for the upcoming 8th annual festival being held in Summerside PEI from June 27th to
Continued Next Page
(Atlanticade chairman Dale Hicks had just presented Trapper Cane with the annual ldquoExperienced Rider Awardrdquo
when Cane turned the tables by presenting Hicks with his honorary CAV membership during the 2011 event)
July 1st Recenty CAV founder Paul (Trapper) Cane announced the grouprsquos annual general meeting will take place in Summerside in conjunction with Atlanticade
ldquoAtlanticade brings great energy to all riders and our CAV members certainly appreciate the extra efforts put forth by Dalersquos team to give us some profile at the eventrdquo says Cane ldquoNo doubt it has been a great relationship between the two organizations and we hope it continues well into the futurerdquo
For his part Hicks says that Atlanticade is very proud to be able to host the CAV ndash AGM as part of the 2014 festival ldquoWe always have a good turnout of CAV members at our event but this will mean an additional boost in participants from across the country We hope we can make it a little special for them and something they will remember years down the roadrdquo

Wyz WisdomPeople often take the time to complain but rarely take the time to say ldquoyou done goodrdquo ndash take a momenthellipspread the happyhelliptell someone when theyrsquove done a good job today ndash WyzWmnSome Donkey WisdomOne day a farmerrsquos donkey fell down into a well The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to doFinally he decided the animal was old and the well needed to be covered up anyway it just wasnrsquot worth it to retrieve the donkey He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well At first the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly Then to everyonersquos amazement he quieted downA few shovel loads later the farmer finally looked down the well and was astonished at what he saw With every shovel of dirt that hit his back the donkey was doing something amazing He would shake it off and take a step up on the dirt As the farmerrsquos neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal he would shake it off
and take a step up Pretty soon everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted offAnd the moral ishellip Life is going to shovel dirt on you all kinds of dirt The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up Each of our troubles is a steppingstone We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping never giving up Shake it off and take a step up

As we see in the conflicts that are brewing around this world of ours the power of the people to affect change is powerful
A small group of committed individuals can accomplish much
They can topple governments or back them up against a wall
The on highway motorcycle community in Canada is rapidly approaching 1 million registered motorcycles
Every weekend you will see thousands of us gathered at various events across our respective provinces and territories always riding and working for charities that mean something to us that hit
home for usVery seldom however do you see this community
rally around itself and its own issues outside of riders we lovecare about needing help
As we get prepared for the 2014 riding season we as riders are going to face a variety of issues Some will affect all of us other issues will only affect certain riders
Insurance is an issue that affects us all as are the condition of the highways in this country So is distracted driving
As a rider who has ridden across this great land of ours I can tell you road maintenance is also an issue in the majority of regions
Some of us will experience police harassment others will ride uninterrupted
Some of us will experience headaches in communities with Motorcycle Only Noise Bylaws others will never be detained or bothered
Some of us will have great experiences at dealerships and others not so much
Some of us will experience discrimination and be turned away from establishments because of how we dress and what we ride others will experience none of that
This summer when you experience issues do something about it
Remember the POWER OF THE PEOPLEDocument it Photos videos and written
accounts of the situations you encounterThen if you live in a provinceterritory with a
Riders Rights Organization like BCCOM ABATE BRO Coalition of Manitoba Motorcycle Groups
RAGE or the newly formed Atlantic Motorcycle Coalition get that information into them so that they have something concrete to work with
They canrsquot help you or anyone else unless YOU give them something to work with
If you are in a province where there is no collective to represent your voice like in Alberta NWT YT - the only three regions without a provincialterritorial lobbying voice then yoursquoll really want to document things well especially if it involves court and lawyers If it is about roadways and other concerns you can at least present your MLA with the information
Every rider who experiences something of a discomforting nature should stand up and say something do something so that the others who come after you might not have to experience the same thing
If you arenrsquot a member of your local riders rights coalition consider becoming one
Our voice counts be it as an individual taxpayer or in a collective with many voices united but they only count when the persons we are discussing our
situation with can actually do something about itWhining and not taking the right actions do
nothing to alleviate problems - so this summer get a camera for your motorcycle or helmet have a note pad and a pen in a tool pouch or jacket pocket and remember the information you take down and share with the right people will do some good if not today somewhere down the road
Thatrsquos whatrsquos on my mind today what are your thoughts on the topic of the Power of the People
Have a great day and if you are one of the lucky ones who is riding today please remember to ride like everyone around you is blind and cannot see you
Until next week I am your editor Belt Drive Betty

Art amp The Motorcycle My Name Milton BeginMake Harley DavidsonYear 1993Title ldquoFresh Paint n Old LeatherrdquoArtist Jeremy Ferguson
The tragedy of the space shuttle Challenger is what gave me the idea of the paint scheme I knew I wanted to keep the blue color on the bike After all I as well as the people who know me have always referred to the bike as Olrsquo Blue Flames and skulls have been well overdone so it came to me scorched paint and steel Must have been what the shuttle was going thru for that split second in the early stage of re-entry
The bike was shipped out of Milwaukee in 1993 I rode it to Milwaukee in 2003 for the 100th Anniversary Ride Home Celebration for Harley Davidson Plans were made to ride it home again in 2013 for the 110th Anniversary Fresh paint was in order Hence the name Fresh Paint n Old Leather I have kept and still ride with the same leather for all too many years Although you canrsquot see many of the details in the picture Jeremy scratched in the dates after it was painted onto the bottom of the front fender It looks awesome because Jeremy is a talented individual
If I am able I will ride home again in 2023 The bike will undoubtedly make it

Light travels faster than sound This is why some people appear

You feel as tossed as tumultuously as leaves in the wind
Your thoughts are as
turbulent amp dangerous as the moods of a teenagerYou are almost certain you are going in an
aimless direction with your eyes closed but your hands refuse to relinquish their grips
There is a time when the mind gleefully spins events amp memories into painful brutal tellings amp the tears dry upon your cheeks as fast as the wind can touch them leaving no trace
This is the time when intelligent rationale simply fails amp pure raw emotion takes over
Coherent thought is impossibleSpeech is non-existentThe primal need to fight- flee or fuck has kicked
into overdrive amp so with the flick of a thumb you opt for the fastest although not necessarily Wisest course of action amp race away from your demons at breakneck speed almost daring them to catch you

On the sixth day God turned to Archangel Gabriel and said Today
I am going to create a land called Canada It will be a land of outstanding natural beauty It shall have tall majestic mountains full of mountain goats and eagles beautiful sparkling lakes bountiful with bass and trout forests full of elk and moose high cliffs over-looking sandy beaches with an abundance of sea life and rivers stocked with salmon
God continued
I shall make the land rich in resources so as to make the inhabitants prosper I shall call these inhabitants Canadians and they shall be known as the most friendly people on the earth
But Lord asked Gabriel dont you think you are being too generous to these Canadians
Not really replied GodJust wait and see the winters I am going to give

While the boy and his father were watching with amazement a fat old lady in a wheel chair rolled up to the moving walls and pressed a button The walls opened and the lady rolled between them into a small room The walls closed and the boy and his father watched the small circular numbers above the walls light up sequentially They continued to watch until it reached the last number and then the numbers began to light in the reverse order Then the walls opened up again and a gorgeous voluptuous 24-year-old blonde woman stepped out The father not taking his eyes off the young woman said quietly to his son

The Touch of a healerAn Irishman in a wheelchair entered a restaurant
one afternoon and asked the waitress for a cup of coffee The Irishman looked across the restaurant and asked Is that Jesus sitting over there The waitress nodded yes so the Irishman told her to give Jesus a cup of coffee on him
The next patron to come in was an Englishman with a hunched back He shuffled over to a booth painfully sat down and asked for a cup of hot tea He also glanced across the restaurant and asked Is that Jesus over there The waitress nodded so the Englishman said to give Jesus a cup of hot tea my treat
The third patron to come into the restaurant was a Redneck on crutches He hobbled over to a booth sat down and hollered Hey there sweet thang Hows about gettin me a cold glass of Coke He too looked across the restaurant and asked Is that
Gods boy over there The waitress once again nodded that it was so the Redneck said to give Jesus a cold glass of Coke on my bill
As Jesus got up to leave he passed by the Irishman touched him and said For your kindness you are healed The Irishman felt the strength come back to his legs got up and danced a jig right out the door
Jesus also passed by the Englishman touched him and said For your kindness you are healed The Englishman felt his back straightening up and he raised his hands praised the Lord and did a series of back flips out the door
Then Jesus walked up to the Redneck
The Redneck jumped up and yelled ldquoDonrsquot touch me Irsquom drawinrsquo disabilityrdquo
The most important thing for all motorcycle riders and vehicle drivers in Saskatchewan right now is standing-up and getting YOUR voice heardhellipand COUNTED
When it comes to the Saskatchewan Rate Review process each and every voice matters no matter how big no matter how small Every voice every opinion matters Use this process to make YOUR VOICE COUNT BEFORE April 28 2014 After thathellipit is too late
RAGE is here to continue what we started so successfully last year To continue to lobby SGI and the Provincial Government to put real and long-term public policy forward to end the continuous cycle of rate increases being implemented to
cover up escalating high-risk driving behaviour in Saskatchewan In a nutshell to stop just raising rates and not much else
If you parked a vehicle on the street downtown (any type of vehicle) and just left it there till it caused an accident How long would it take for that vehicle to be at-fault for causing one That is if it wasnrsquot stolen or vandalized first
Now if a person comes along gets into that same vehicle and drives off looking at their cellphone and texting How long
If it is a motorcycle and a person who just wrote their learners with zero experience (other than maybe a ride around the block) comes along gets on and rides off into traffic How long
The great thing about what we are putting forward is that it addresses ALL driver behavior Not vehicles but those who drive them ALL of us
You as a motorcycle and vehicle owner need to be speaking up this yearhellipin Saskatchewan you are more than likely both Making sure YOUR voice
Stand Up and Be Counted

RAGE Dare to Know
What your body needs to heal itself
The BodyTalk Systemwith Practitioner Bev Groot
To book an appointment or find out more about the BodyTalk System call
gets counted To stop the endless cycle of just raising rates with not much else
This will allow RAGE to have a strong voice when it comes to the Personal Injury Insurance Review happening later this year Remember YOUR ldquoa-la-carterdquo recommendation has been approved by government
To continue to fight for mandatory safety training (Yes RAGE has always wanted this to be mandatory)
To continue to work with SGI on the things they are already implementing as a result of RAGE and ALL YOUR VOICES
YOUR VOICEno matter what your messageMATTERS to RAGE
Without all YOUR voicesindividuallyeach counting as 1UNITED into manyhellipSGI will simply not listen
Since the 1980rsquos and up until last yearvery few voices were raised to be counted during the Rate Review Process SGI pretty much did what they wantedthen last year BAM
For years SGI shut out anyone any group many efforts by the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel and the Provincial Government for any changeswhyNO UNITED VOICES Yes they brought in the 3 year MGDL in 2011 However they didnrsquot work with the groups involved past initial consultations SGI came to their own conclusions (no one could agree) and implemented what they
wanted SGI then stopped returning calls and continued to increase rates in 2012 and 2013
Even the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel has had difficulty getting the information they need from SGI to make informed decisions
Is it little wonder that the Minister Responsible for SGI felt she didnrsquot have to listen to the ldquosuggestionrdquo of the Rate Review Panel After all they never really had in previous years
Hammering us with another 15 increase could have been meant to knock us off our motorcycles and give up After all that hard workhellipand yet another increase Irsquom betting they expected us to cry in our coffee about how unfair they are about how they just do want they want anyway how we should just privatize and then do nothing more than that
Now that might have workedhellipin the past That is until last year the first time since the 1980rsquos when RAGE worked hard to organize YOUR voices YOU each used your own voices You each counted Then RAGE presented a proposal that took EACH ONE and MADE THEM COUNT as a UNITED VOICE
Then we did the unthinkablehellipWE STAYED We werenrsquot just there for 3 meetings WE
were 100 ALL INhellipFOR YOU To make sure YOUR VOICES continued to count RAGE continued to work with SGI on the wording for the recommendations put forward providing information for awareness sharing the ldquoCount Your Motorcyclerdquo game and much more
When it comes right down to it YOUR opinions and comments should matter to YOU IT does not matter if you donrsquot agree with the overall message of RAGE or your local riding club group
association coffee groupwhatever WHAT MATTERSis YOU getting YOUR VOICE
heard YOU canrsquot leave it up to everyone else You canrsquot assume anyone else is going to do this for YOU WE ALL MUST FIGHT
The worst thing you can do is nothing THAT is even worse than complaining and doing nothing Complaincomplain to your hearts contentto the Sask Rate Review Panel
THEN go have coffeeIf you canrsquot make it to the meeting in person
please at the very least contact the Rate Review Panel with YOUR voice
Each of our own voices count as 1 in this processjust as the voice of RAGE only counts as 1 We know SGI only listens when there are MANY following a UNITED theme
YOU can get YOUR voice heardand COUNTEDby submitting your comments regarding the application by April 28 2014 using any of the following methods

After a magnificent breakfast I started loading up my bike and it wasnrsquot long before the gang arrived to come take me sightseeing
Our first stop of the day after topping up our tanks was at the look out of Lac Saint Jean
From here you truly get a sense of how immense this lake is
We took some time to admire the view and chat about the plans for the rest of the day
Our next stop was to be the Camp Musical a purely French speaking musical camp for students to come and immerse themselves in the culture of the region and the music that is their passion
The camp has numerous housing units and the most incredible concert hall The Raymond Tremblay concert hall has 320 seats 2 piano rooms a bistro terrace and exhibition hall The Egyptian goddess Hathor is symbolized here and she represents happiness joy and music
The acoustics even when you are just speaking
well stunning would be the word to describe the sound quality
Everything about this 40-year-old institute screams creativity We went up to the gazebo on the observation deck and took in the panorama Breathtakingly beautiful you can see why this region inspires music and lyrics
After our tour of the camp was done we headed out towards the Village Historique Val-Jalbert Canadarsquos BEST preserved Ghost Town I couldnrsquot wait
The ride from the Camp Musical to Val-Jalbert which is just northwest of Chambord took about 30 minutes It was a wee bit overcast but the temperature was perfect for riding
When we arrived at Val-Jalbert we headed into the gorgeous visitor information centre and were assigned a tour guide named Michelle Pelletier Michelle turned out to be an amazing tour guide
She spoke in both French and English easily and made all of us feel so welcome

Saturday May 31st 2014 830 am Rain date June 1st rain or shine
We got in an electric cart and began our tour with Michelle telling us about the history of this town and why it is such a significant tourism and historical attraction
You see this town was the dream of one man Damase Jalbert He was the founder of the Ouiatchouan Pulp Company that built a pulp mill
here The town he founded for his employees started out as Saint-Georges-de-Ouiatchouan named for the river and the falls that powered the mill The name was changed to Val-Jalbert in 1913 in honor of the man whose dream it was
Damase wanted to build the best company town and provide his employees with a rarified quality of living
He died suddenly three years after opening the mill The mill faced a cash shortage and was bought by American shareholders in 1904 In 1909 the Chicoutimi Pulp Company bought it
From 1909 to 1922 the village flourished and was the envy of many surrounding communities
The company town offered employees electricity and running water in their homes a good 25 years before anyone else in Quebec had power
In 1923 the demand for mechanical pulp began to fall and by 1924 most of the workers had been laid off
On August 13th 1927 all operations ceased and over the next few years the village became abandoned
In 1942 the government took the property back for non-payment of taxes and in 1970 Val-Jalbert had new life breathed into it as a tourist attraction In recent years the government of Quebec has spent 19+ million dollars to upgrade and improve the visitors information centre put in a glass observation deck and a whole host of other improvements
Val-Jalbert must have been the most amazing town in the region in its day because this place is utterly amazing today The Quebec government has spent a lot of money and time restoring this
place to preserve the history and they have done an incredible job
Our first stop on the tour was the convent school where we met ldquoMother Superiorrdquo who took us through the school and answered our questions She was stern but I think there was a glint of mischief in her eyes as she ldquodisciplinedrdquo us on proper etiquette
There was the most amazing art display in
one room and in another the historical timeline of the residents of Val-Jalbert to take in The antiques and furnishings truly made you feel you were stuck in a time warp
After touring the school we headed towards the post office The ldquopostmistressrdquo was this chatty little gal that had us peeing ourselves we were laughing so hard It was pretty cool to see the old stamps and the various bits of equipment of the day
We walked up the street to take a tour of the restored duplexes that line the main street You have to see these places to truly appreciate them Imagine 1910 and you can flip a switch and have lights turn a tap and have water flush a toilet and not have to walk to the outhouse
These company houses were so well built and the people who lived here were fiercely loyal to the company that treated them so well
From the duplexes we went to the general store where we ran into the ldquoMayorrdquo the only person in town to have a car The general store offers up everything a visitor could need plus acts as a museum with lots of interesting period pieces on display
Michelle had gotten keys to show us the duplexes that have been upgraded and make up the 4 star accommodations offered here
We walked across the street and were taken to view to the most amazing hotel rooms
Rustic and yet modern these rooms are spacious well appointed and every one of them has unique little shadow boxes filled with antiques
All of the modern appliances Internet boxes and TV are all hidden in closets so that they are not visible It makes for a very appealing deacutecor
Although the rooms appear to only have one bed in the matter of a few moments Michelle had the
couch taken apart and the bed folded down out of the wall for a second bed
The bathrooms are absolute marvels with big tubs and glass showers
The parking for the hotel rooms is hidden behind a row of trees so that there is no real visual of anything modern on the face of things
From the hotel rooms we got back in the electric cart and headed towards the ldquoruinsrdquo Although many of the duplexes have been restored Michelle explained to us that the style of construction for the company houses had been changed and that
the newer houses had collapsed on themselves Some of the buildings are slated for restoration but many are too far-gone The streets they line are preserved so that one can walk by the ruins and get a feel for how large this town really was and how well laid out it was
Our next stop was the Mill Impressive is a good word to describe this place We had our lunch in the Old Mill Restaurant The food served here complimented the
atmosphere ndash IMPECCABLEThe chef Carl Murray has a great reputation that
he totally lives up toThe service
the food the atmosphere and the company were all top drawer
After our fabulous meal it was time to head to the tram and go experience the waterfalls
The ride up to the top gives you the most magnificent view of the region The Ouiatchouan Falls are some 65 feet higher than the Niagara Falls
and the power of them is palpable The rushing water is almost deafening as you walk out on to the glass observation deck
From the falls we walked down to the mill again and took in the most impressive interactive show I have ever experienced In the underbelly of the once abandoned mill amongst all of the monster gearing and shafts the lights go dim you feel the mist in the air and all of a sudden the walls become alive with characters from the original town and they take you through the historical timeline of the village and its people
It is absolutely captivating you become totally involved in the lives and the hardship of the villagers
The show signaled the end of our tour and Michelle took us back to the visitor information centre and sent us all off with gifts of blueberry jam and blueberry tea to remember our visit by
My bike had been acting up off and on and I had been keeping an eye out on a leak coming from the front of the engine The noise from the shifter region was becoming louder but I wasnrsquot experiencing any power loss so I kept an ear out and we kept riding
Our next stop was at the Cheddar Cheese Museum in Saint-Prime where a sweet young man took us on a tour
He showed us the old-fashioned way cheddar cheese was made and then we got to tour the museum portion of the factory 4 generations of the family Perron have made cheddar cheese here
The museum has over 650 artifacts that involve the familyrsquos history in cheese making including the stamps and other machinery used in exporting the cheese
The Cheddar Cheese Museum offers interactive displays and hosts several workshops on the art of making cheddar Upstairs you can view the family home of the Perronrsquos and see all of the period specific furnishings
Along with guided tours you can also sample the various types of cheddar cheese which we did and oh my I have never tasted cheddar that was so smooth and rich
After thanking our young guide for the fabulous tour we headed off
We stopped at Tim Hortonrsquos for a coffee and sitting out on the curb in front of my bike I could see the leak was getting worse I was very concerned and asked if there was a shop nearby where I could at least check the oil level in my primary
Rejean talked to one of the local riders Denis AKA Tarte au Sucre (Sweet Pie) and he took us to Carl Tremblayrsquos shop Carl is a mechanic that many here swear by His rates are far cheaper than the dealerships and every rider in the region says hersquos a guru He took the primary apart and sure
enough discovered that the compensating sprocket was dead and the stator was leaking With parts ordered and Rejeanrsquos wife going to the Harley shop to pick them up Francine Lynne Rejean and Denis rode me to my hotel the Motel Chutes des Pegraveres in Dolbeau-Mistassini My gear and luggage was distributed over three of the four bikes
By the time we got in it was dark and everyone had to head home I enjoyed a wonderful steak for supper and then headed off to my beautiful room and after a boiling hot pounding shower I climbed into the queen-sized bed and with the sound of the falls lulling me to sleep
And thatrsquos where I will leave you until next weekhellipBelt Drive Betty

1 - Yoursquoll Become a Better DriverTherersquos no doubt that riding a motorcycle has its
benefits especially when it comes to driving a car Riding a motorcycle teaches you to look out for people who are trying to kill you yoursquoll see hazards sooner and yoursquoll end up with Ninja-like machine control So when it comes to driving yoursquoll put all that to work and be a cut above the rest Hopefully
2 - Everyone Wants To Talk To YouIt really doesnrsquot matter what kind of motorcycle
you ride yoursquoll find middle-aged men stare at you and your bike with a dreamy lust before giving you an unwanted compliment Chances are theyrsquoll have no idea what the bike is either
Choose a classic or even worse a modern classic and yoursquoll become a magnet for old men who have the knack of being able to have a conversation with you without you needing to add any input Yoursquoll reach for your helmet on more than one occasion but not be able to put in on and leave because theyrsquoll ask you a question when you try Yoursquoll be subjected to questions about your
bike that you donrsquot know the answer to or even care about
The conversation will go something like this Is that a Triumph I had a Triumph once (followed by 10 minutes of ldquoback in my day rdquo)
3 - When You Say Yoursquore A Biker This Is The First Image That
Comes To Peoplehellip
5 Things They Never Told You About Becoming A Bikerby Robert Whaley NW Ontario Motorcycling
You could be a nice guy you could have something that resembles a career you could do the occasional BBQ it doesnrsquot matter When you mention to anyone at a party that yoursquove got a motorcycle a picture of this guy will pop into their head Then as you explain that you donrsquot ride a cruiser and yoursquove got a sportsbike theyrsquoll just think yoursquore speaking Greek and will reevaluate you as some sort of nut job who tries to kill himself on the highways Itrsquos a no-win
4 - Bees and Other Flying Things Will Start To Scare You
Anything flying will scare you When yoursquore sitting around at a family BBQ and everyone starts going mental the moment a bee or a wasp arrives on the scene you sit there perfectly calm and wonder what all the fuss is about
However - when yoursquore on a bike itrsquos a different story There you are riding along on a nice sunny day with your visor up enjoying the countryside and the winding road in front of you
Then you spot it 50 metres away a large insect looks like its stopped going about its daily business and itrsquos homing in at you instead Before you can do anything about it it goes THHHHHWAP right on your cheek Close but luckily it didnrsquot get you in the eye Then you panic the little bastardrsquos still in your helmet You insert a clumsy leather-clad finger and try and flick whatever it is away but probably end up pissing it off even further Then you crank on the brakes and perform the worldrsquos fastest lid removal followed by a little bit of a flappy-armed dance
5 - You Canrsquot Figure Out Who To Wave ToWhen you get a motorcycle you become part of a
club Itrsquos a club no biker really talks about but yoursquore in it now and yoursquore not allowed to leave Ever When you first pass your test yoursquoll wave at anyone and everyone If yoursquore heading down a road and a dog looks at you the right way yoursquoll probably wave at him too
Unfortunately this will change There are no set rules as to how it will change but yoursquoll end up developing your own code Me I wave at everyone dogs too and donrsquot give a second thought to the riders that donrsquot wave back But thatrsquos just me Yoursquoll have to work out your own code
Breaking is one of the most important things that you will learn to do on a motorcycle When we first learn to ride we are taught techniques to protect ourselves from crashing such as breaking shifting and countersteering But generally the most effective way to avoid an accident is through proper use of the brakes
The rear brake in particular is probably one of the least understood controls on a motorcycle Many riders donrsquot use the rear brake at all claiming that it doesnrsquot actually aid in slowing down or stopping the bike and say that it locks up the rear tire when trying to use it In fact most experts agree that a balanced use of both the front and rear brake is the most effective way of slowing or stopping a motorcycle
The rear brake also plays a huge role in adding stability to the bike when maneuvering
Because of the weight distribution on a motorcycle the braking balance of stopping power between the front and rear is 70 on the front and 30 on the rear This should tell you that if you donrsquot use the rear brake at all you are loosing 30 of the potential stopping power on your bike This could become a critical factor if you find yourself in trouble and have to try
and avoid an accident
Why does the rear brake lock up Well once again it has to do with weight distribution When you find yourself in a braking situation and start applying the brakes the geometry of the bike changes (due partly to the suspension) and much of the total weight (bike + rider) is transferred to the front This allows the rider to apply much more front brake than rear brake (the 7030 ratio)
Learning the finer points of your bikersquos braking performance is the key to keeping your bike in control It is a good idea to explore those limits in a safe environment
Practice repeated stops in an abandoned parking lot and yoursquoll start to get a feel for the amount of
effort that triggers tire slippage or rear tire lock-up
Try stopping with your front brake only then rear only and then a combination of both Once you become more familiar with your bikersquos brakes the sensations of weight transfer will start to feel more apparent and familiar That way yoursquoll be much more aware of the limits of your bike and yoursquoll be much better prepared in stopping

CAV To Hold AGM During ATLANTICADE (Summerside PE)
ndash The relationship started off by accident back in 2007 in
Moncton during the inaugural Atlanticade eventldquoI saw these guys who were hanging around
together with CAV crests on their vests and didnrsquot really know who they wererdquo says Dale Hicks festival founder and chairman Hicks began to connect the dots on the final day when the closing parade ended at the local veteranrsquos health care center and the CAV riders were very engaged with the vets ldquoSo I starting asking ndash who are these guys and what does CAV stand forrdquo
That was over seven years ago and now the relationship between Atlanticade and the Canadian Army Veterans is as strong a bond as you will find anywhere in the world of motorcycle events
ldquoOnce we became aware of who the CAV group was and what they represented I said well this group reflects the best of what it means to be Canadian so we certainly wanted to build a relationship with themrdquo recalls Hicks
Since then CAV has played a significant role in some form or fashion at each Atlanticade event The festival now has a
ldquoSupport the Troopsrdquo activity incorporated into the schedule each year where CAV plays a lead role In addition CAV will also be found leading parades such as the Confederation Bridge Cruise and the Parade of Iron Horses
In fact in 2011 Hicks was surprised and honored to be presented with an
honorary membership into the CAV organization at the closing awards breakfast at the Algonquin Hotel in St Andrews
ldquoYeah they caught me off guard with that and I certainly was humbled and honored by to be presented the crest by Trapperrdquo says Hicks ldquoI donrsquot feel worthy of wearing the crest but I do sport it proudly at certain times during Atlanticaderdquo
The unique bond between the two organizations continues for the upcoming 8th annual festival being held in Summerside PEI from June 27th to

(Atlanticade chairman Dale Hicks had just presented Trapper Cane with the annual ldquoExperienced Rider Awardrdquo
when Cane turned the tables by presenting Hicks with his honorary CAV membership during the 2011 event)
July 1st Recenty CAV founder Paul (Trapper) Cane announced the grouprsquos annual general meeting will take place in Summerside in conjunction with Atlanticade
ldquoAtlanticade brings great energy to all riders and our CAV members certainly appreciate the extra efforts put forth by Dalersquos team to give us some profile at the eventrdquo says Cane ldquoNo doubt it has been a great relationship between the two organizations and we hope it continues well into the futurerdquo
For his part Hicks says that Atlanticade is very proud to be able to host the CAV ndash AGM as part of the 2014 festival ldquoWe always have a good turnout of CAV members at our event but this will mean an additional boost in participants from across the country We hope we can make it a little special for them and something they will remember years down the roadrdquo

Wyz WisdomPeople often take the time to complain but rarely take the time to say ldquoyou done goodrdquo ndash take a momenthellipspread the happyhelliptell someone when theyrsquove done a good job today ndash WyzWmnSome Donkey WisdomOne day a farmerrsquos donkey fell down into a well The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to doFinally he decided the animal was old and the well needed to be covered up anyway it just wasnrsquot worth it to retrieve the donkey He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well At first the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly Then to everyonersquos amazement he quieted downA few shovel loads later the farmer finally looked down the well and was astonished at what he saw With every shovel of dirt that hit his back the donkey was doing something amazing He would shake it off and take a step up on the dirt As the farmerrsquos neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal he would shake it off
and take a step up Pretty soon everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted offAnd the moral ishellip Life is going to shovel dirt on you all kinds of dirt The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up Each of our troubles is a steppingstone We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping never giving up Shake it off and take a step up

As we see in the conflicts that are brewing around this world of ours the power of the people to affect change is powerful
A small group of committed individuals can accomplish much
They can topple governments or back them up against a wall
The on highway motorcycle community in Canada is rapidly approaching 1 million registered motorcycles
Every weekend you will see thousands of us gathered at various events across our respective provinces and territories always riding and working for charities that mean something to us that hit
home for usVery seldom however do you see this community
rally around itself and its own issues outside of riders we lovecare about needing help
As we get prepared for the 2014 riding season we as riders are going to face a variety of issues Some will affect all of us other issues will only affect certain riders
Insurance is an issue that affects us all as are the condition of the highways in this country So is distracted driving
As a rider who has ridden across this great land of ours I can tell you road maintenance is also an issue in the majority of regions
Some of us will experience police harassment others will ride uninterrupted
Some of us will experience headaches in communities with Motorcycle Only Noise Bylaws others will never be detained or bothered
Some of us will have great experiences at dealerships and others not so much
Some of us will experience discrimination and be turned away from establishments because of how we dress and what we ride others will experience none of that
This summer when you experience issues do something about it
Remember the POWER OF THE PEOPLEDocument it Photos videos and written
accounts of the situations you encounterThen if you live in a provinceterritory with a
Riders Rights Organization like BCCOM ABATE BRO Coalition of Manitoba Motorcycle Groups
RAGE or the newly formed Atlantic Motorcycle Coalition get that information into them so that they have something concrete to work with
They canrsquot help you or anyone else unless YOU give them something to work with
If you are in a province where there is no collective to represent your voice like in Alberta NWT YT - the only three regions without a provincialterritorial lobbying voice then yoursquoll really want to document things well especially if it involves court and lawyers If it is about roadways and other concerns you can at least present your MLA with the information
Every rider who experiences something of a discomforting nature should stand up and say something do something so that the others who come after you might not have to experience the same thing
If you arenrsquot a member of your local riders rights coalition consider becoming one
Our voice counts be it as an individual taxpayer or in a collective with many voices united but they only count when the persons we are discussing our
situation with can actually do something about itWhining and not taking the right actions do
nothing to alleviate problems - so this summer get a camera for your motorcycle or helmet have a note pad and a pen in a tool pouch or jacket pocket and remember the information you take down and share with the right people will do some good if not today somewhere down the road
Thatrsquos whatrsquos on my mind today what are your thoughts on the topic of the Power of the People
Have a great day and if you are one of the lucky ones who is riding today please remember to ride like everyone around you is blind and cannot see you
Until next week I am your editor Belt Drive Betty

Art amp The Motorcycle My Name Milton BeginMake Harley DavidsonYear 1993Title ldquoFresh Paint n Old LeatherrdquoArtist Jeremy Ferguson
The tragedy of the space shuttle Challenger is what gave me the idea of the paint scheme I knew I wanted to keep the blue color on the bike After all I as well as the people who know me have always referred to the bike as Olrsquo Blue Flames and skulls have been well overdone so it came to me scorched paint and steel Must have been what the shuttle was going thru for that split second in the early stage of re-entry
The bike was shipped out of Milwaukee in 1993 I rode it to Milwaukee in 2003 for the 100th Anniversary Ride Home Celebration for Harley Davidson Plans were made to ride it home again in 2013 for the 110th Anniversary Fresh paint was in order Hence the name Fresh Paint n Old Leather I have kept and still ride with the same leather for all too many years Although you canrsquot see many of the details in the picture Jeremy scratched in the dates after it was painted onto the bottom of the front fender It looks awesome because Jeremy is a talented individual
If I am able I will ride home again in 2023 The bike will undoubtedly make it

Light travels faster than sound This is why some people appear
No idea quite Where you are exactly nor do you know where yet you need to be
You feel as tossed as tumultuously as leaves in the wind
Your thoughts are as
turbulent amp dangerous as the moods of a teenagerYou are almost certain you are going in an
aimless direction with your eyes closed but your hands refuse to relinquish their grips
There is a time when the mind gleefully spins events amp memories into painful brutal tellings amp the tears dry upon your cheeks as fast as the wind can touch them leaving no trace
This is the time when intelligent rationale simply fails amp pure raw emotion takes over
Coherent thought is impossibleSpeech is non-existentThe primal need to fight- flee or fuck has kicked
into overdrive amp so with the flick of a thumb you opt for the fastest although not necessarily Wisest course of action amp race away from your demons at breakneck speed almost daring them to catch you

On the sixth day God turned to Archangel Gabriel and said Today
I am going to create a land called Canada It will be a land of outstanding natural beauty It shall have tall majestic mountains full of mountain goats and eagles beautiful sparkling lakes bountiful with bass and trout forests full of elk and moose high cliffs over-looking sandy beaches with an abundance of sea life and rivers stocked with salmon
God continued
I shall make the land rich in resources so as to make the inhabitants prosper I shall call these inhabitants Canadians and they shall be known as the most friendly people on the earth
But Lord asked Gabriel dont you think you are being too generous to these Canadians
Not really replied GodJust wait and see the winters I am going to give

While the boy and his father were watching with amazement a fat old lady in a wheel chair rolled up to the moving walls and pressed a button The walls opened and the lady rolled between them into a small room The walls closed and the boy and his father watched the small circular numbers above the walls light up sequentially They continued to watch until it reached the last number and then the numbers began to light in the reverse order Then the walls opened up again and a gorgeous voluptuous 24-year-old blonde woman stepped out The father not taking his eyes off the young woman said quietly to his son

The Touch of a healerAn Irishman in a wheelchair entered a restaurant
one afternoon and asked the waitress for a cup of coffee The Irishman looked across the restaurant and asked Is that Jesus sitting over there The waitress nodded yes so the Irishman told her to give Jesus a cup of coffee on him
The next patron to come in was an Englishman with a hunched back He shuffled over to a booth painfully sat down and asked for a cup of hot tea He also glanced across the restaurant and asked Is that Jesus over there The waitress nodded so the Englishman said to give Jesus a cup of hot tea my treat
The third patron to come into the restaurant was a Redneck on crutches He hobbled over to a booth sat down and hollered Hey there sweet thang Hows about gettin me a cold glass of Coke He too looked across the restaurant and asked Is that
Gods boy over there The waitress once again nodded that it was so the Redneck said to give Jesus a cold glass of Coke on my bill
As Jesus got up to leave he passed by the Irishman touched him and said For your kindness you are healed The Irishman felt the strength come back to his legs got up and danced a jig right out the door
Jesus also passed by the Englishman touched him and said For your kindness you are healed The Englishman felt his back straightening up and he raised his hands praised the Lord and did a series of back flips out the door
Then Jesus walked up to the Redneck
The Redneck jumped up and yelled ldquoDonrsquot touch me Irsquom drawinrsquo disabilityrdquo
The most important thing for all motorcycle riders and vehicle drivers in Saskatchewan right now is standing-up and getting YOUR voice heardhellipand COUNTED
When it comes to the Saskatchewan Rate Review process each and every voice matters no matter how big no matter how small Every voice every opinion matters Use this process to make YOUR VOICE COUNT BEFORE April 28 2014 After thathellipit is too late
RAGE is here to continue what we started so successfully last year To continue to lobby SGI and the Provincial Government to put real and long-term public policy forward to end the continuous cycle of rate increases being implemented to
cover up escalating high-risk driving behaviour in Saskatchewan In a nutshell to stop just raising rates and not much else
If you parked a vehicle on the street downtown (any type of vehicle) and just left it there till it caused an accident How long would it take for that vehicle to be at-fault for causing one That is if it wasnrsquot stolen or vandalized first
Now if a person comes along gets into that same vehicle and drives off looking at their cellphone and texting How long
If it is a motorcycle and a person who just wrote their learners with zero experience (other than maybe a ride around the block) comes along gets on and rides off into traffic How long
The great thing about what we are putting forward is that it addresses ALL driver behavior Not vehicles but those who drive them ALL of us
You as a motorcycle and vehicle owner need to be speaking up this yearhellipin Saskatchewan you are more than likely both Making sure YOUR voice
Stand Up and Be Counted

To book an appointment or find out more about the BodyTalk System call
gets counted To stop the endless cycle of just raising rates with not much else
This will allow RAGE to have a strong voice when it comes to the Personal Injury Insurance Review happening later this year Remember YOUR ldquoa-la-carterdquo recommendation has been approved by government
To continue to fight for mandatory safety training (Yes RAGE has always wanted this to be mandatory)
To continue to work with SGI on the things they are already implementing as a result of RAGE and ALL YOUR VOICES
YOUR VOICEno matter what your messageMATTERS to RAGE
Without all YOUR voicesindividuallyeach counting as 1UNITED into manyhellipSGI will simply not listen
Since the 1980rsquos and up until last yearvery few voices were raised to be counted during the Rate Review Process SGI pretty much did what they wantedthen last year BAM
For years SGI shut out anyone any group many efforts by the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel and the Provincial Government for any changeswhyNO UNITED VOICES Yes they brought in the 3 year MGDL in 2011 However they didnrsquot work with the groups involved past initial consultations SGI came to their own conclusions (no one could agree) and implemented what they
wanted SGI then stopped returning calls and continued to increase rates in 2012 and 2013
Even the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel has had difficulty getting the information they need from SGI to make informed decisions
Is it little wonder that the Minister Responsible for SGI felt she didnrsquot have to listen to the ldquosuggestionrdquo of the Rate Review Panel After all they never really had in previous years
Hammering us with another 15 increase could have been meant to knock us off our motorcycles and give up After all that hard workhellipand yet another increase Irsquom betting they expected us to cry in our coffee about how unfair they are about how they just do want they want anyway how we should just privatize and then do nothing more than that
Now that might have workedhellipin the past That is until last year the first time since the 1980rsquos when RAGE worked hard to organize YOUR voices YOU each used your own voices You each counted Then RAGE presented a proposal that took EACH ONE and MADE THEM COUNT as a UNITED VOICE
Then we did the unthinkablehellipWE STAYED We werenrsquot just there for 3 meetings WE
were 100 ALL INhellipFOR YOU To make sure YOUR VOICES continued to count RAGE continued to work with SGI on the wording for the recommendations put forward providing information for awareness sharing the ldquoCount Your Motorcyclerdquo game and much more
When it comes right down to it YOUR opinions and comments should matter to YOU IT does not matter if you donrsquot agree with the overall message of RAGE or your local riding club group
association coffee groupwhatever WHAT MATTERSis YOU getting YOUR VOICE
heard YOU canrsquot leave it up to everyone else You canrsquot assume anyone else is going to do this for YOU WE ALL MUST FIGHT
The worst thing you can do is nothing THAT is even worse than complaining and doing nothing Complaincomplain to your hearts contentto the Sask Rate Review Panel
THEN go have coffeeIf you canrsquot make it to the meeting in person
please at the very least contact the Rate Review Panel with YOUR voice
Each of our own voices count as 1 in this processjust as the voice of RAGE only counts as 1 We know SGI only listens when there are MANY following a UNITED theme
YOU can get YOUR voice heardand COUNTEDby submitting your comments regarding the application by April 28 2014 using any of the following methods

After a magnificent breakfast I started loading up my bike and it wasnrsquot long before the gang arrived to come take me sightseeing
Our first stop of the day after topping up our tanks was at the look out of Lac Saint Jean
From here you truly get a sense of how immense this lake is
We took some time to admire the view and chat about the plans for the rest of the day
Our next stop was to be the Camp Musical a purely French speaking musical camp for students to come and immerse themselves in the culture of the region and the music that is their passion
The camp has numerous housing units and the most incredible concert hall The Raymond Tremblay concert hall has 320 seats 2 piano rooms a bistro terrace and exhibition hall The Egyptian goddess Hathor is symbolized here and she represents happiness joy and music
The acoustics even when you are just speaking
well stunning would be the word to describe the sound quality
Everything about this 40-year-old institute screams creativity We went up to the gazebo on the observation deck and took in the panorama Breathtakingly beautiful you can see why this region inspires music and lyrics
After our tour of the camp was done we headed out towards the Village Historique Val-Jalbert Canadarsquos BEST preserved Ghost Town I couldnrsquot wait
The ride from the Camp Musical to Val-Jalbert which is just northwest of Chambord took about 30 minutes It was a wee bit overcast but the temperature was perfect for riding
When we arrived at Val-Jalbert we headed into the gorgeous visitor information centre and were assigned a tour guide named Michelle Pelletier Michelle turned out to be an amazing tour guide
She spoke in both French and English easily and made all of us feel so welcome

Saturday May 31st 2014 830 am Rain date June 1st rain or shine
We got in an electric cart and began our tour with Michelle telling us about the history of this town and why it is such a significant tourism and historical attraction
You see this town was the dream of one man Damase Jalbert He was the founder of the Ouiatchouan Pulp Company that built a pulp mill
here The town he founded for his employees started out as Saint-Georges-de-Ouiatchouan named for the river and the falls that powered the mill The name was changed to Val-Jalbert in 1913 in honor of the man whose dream it was
Damase wanted to build the best company town and provide his employees with a rarified quality of living
He died suddenly three years after opening the mill The mill faced a cash shortage and was bought by American shareholders in 1904 In 1909 the Chicoutimi Pulp Company bought it
From 1909 to 1922 the village flourished and was the envy of many surrounding communities
The company town offered employees electricity and running water in their homes a good 25 years before anyone else in Quebec had power
In 1923 the demand for mechanical pulp began to fall and by 1924 most of the workers had been laid off
On August 13th 1927 all operations ceased and over the next few years the village became abandoned
In 1942 the government took the property back for non-payment of taxes and in 1970 Val-Jalbert had new life breathed into it as a tourist attraction In recent years the government of Quebec has spent 19+ million dollars to upgrade and improve the visitors information centre put in a glass observation deck and a whole host of other improvements
Val-Jalbert must have been the most amazing town in the region in its day because this place is utterly amazing today The Quebec government has spent a lot of money and time restoring this
place to preserve the history and they have done an incredible job
Our first stop on the tour was the convent school where we met ldquoMother Superiorrdquo who took us through the school and answered our questions She was stern but I think there was a glint of mischief in her eyes as she ldquodisciplinedrdquo us on proper etiquette
There was the most amazing art display in
one room and in another the historical timeline of the residents of Val-Jalbert to take in The antiques and furnishings truly made you feel you were stuck in a time warp
After touring the school we headed towards the post office The ldquopostmistressrdquo was this chatty little gal that had us peeing ourselves we were laughing so hard It was pretty cool to see the old stamps and the various bits of equipment of the day
We walked up the street to take a tour of the restored duplexes that line the main street You have to see these places to truly appreciate them Imagine 1910 and you can flip a switch and have lights turn a tap and have water flush a toilet and not have to walk to the outhouse
These company houses were so well built and the people who lived here were fiercely loyal to the company that treated them so well
From the duplexes we went to the general store where we ran into the ldquoMayorrdquo the only person in town to have a car The general store offers up everything a visitor could need plus acts as a museum with lots of interesting period pieces on display
Michelle had gotten keys to show us the duplexes that have been upgraded and make up the 4 star accommodations offered here
We walked across the street and were taken to view to the most amazing hotel rooms
Rustic and yet modern these rooms are spacious well appointed and every one of them has unique little shadow boxes filled with antiques
All of the modern appliances Internet boxes and TV are all hidden in closets so that they are not visible It makes for a very appealing deacutecor
Although the rooms appear to only have one bed in the matter of a few moments Michelle had the
couch taken apart and the bed folded down out of the wall for a second bed
The bathrooms are absolute marvels with big tubs and glass showers
The parking for the hotel rooms is hidden behind a row of trees so that there is no real visual of anything modern on the face of things
From the hotel rooms we got back in the electric cart and headed towards the ldquoruinsrdquo Although many of the duplexes have been restored Michelle explained to us that the style of construction for the company houses had been changed and that
the newer houses had collapsed on themselves Some of the buildings are slated for restoration but many are too far-gone The streets they line are preserved so that one can walk by the ruins and get a feel for how large this town really was and how well laid out it was
Our next stop was the Mill Impressive is a good word to describe this place We had our lunch in the Old Mill Restaurant The food served here complimented the
atmosphere ndash IMPECCABLEThe chef Carl Murray has a great reputation that
he totally lives up toThe service
the food the atmosphere and the company were all top drawer
After our fabulous meal it was time to head to the tram and go experience the waterfalls
The ride up to the top gives you the most magnificent view of the region The Ouiatchouan Falls are some 65 feet higher than the Niagara Falls
and the power of them is palpable The rushing water is almost deafening as you walk out on to the glass observation deck
From the falls we walked down to the mill again and took in the most impressive interactive show I have ever experienced In the underbelly of the once abandoned mill amongst all of the monster gearing and shafts the lights go dim you feel the mist in the air and all of a sudden the walls become alive with characters from the original town and they take you through the historical timeline of the village and its people
It is absolutely captivating you become totally involved in the lives and the hardship of the villagers
The show signaled the end of our tour and Michelle took us back to the visitor information centre and sent us all off with gifts of blueberry jam and blueberry tea to remember our visit by
My bike had been acting up off and on and I had been keeping an eye out on a leak coming from the front of the engine The noise from the shifter region was becoming louder but I wasnrsquot experiencing any power loss so I kept an ear out and we kept riding
Our next stop was at the Cheddar Cheese Museum in Saint-Prime where a sweet young man took us on a tour
He showed us the old-fashioned way cheddar cheese was made and then we got to tour the museum portion of the factory 4 generations of the family Perron have made cheddar cheese here
The museum has over 650 artifacts that involve the familyrsquos history in cheese making including the stamps and other machinery used in exporting the cheese
The Cheddar Cheese Museum offers interactive displays and hosts several workshops on the art of making cheddar Upstairs you can view the family home of the Perronrsquos and see all of the period specific furnishings
Along with guided tours you can also sample the various types of cheddar cheese which we did and oh my I have never tasted cheddar that was so smooth and rich
After thanking our young guide for the fabulous tour we headed off
We stopped at Tim Hortonrsquos for a coffee and sitting out on the curb in front of my bike I could see the leak was getting worse I was very concerned and asked if there was a shop nearby where I could at least check the oil level in my primary
Rejean talked to one of the local riders Denis AKA Tarte au Sucre (Sweet Pie) and he took us to Carl Tremblayrsquos shop Carl is a mechanic that many here swear by His rates are far cheaper than the dealerships and every rider in the region says hersquos a guru He took the primary apart and sure
enough discovered that the compensating sprocket was dead and the stator was leaking With parts ordered and Rejeanrsquos wife going to the Harley shop to pick them up Francine Lynne Rejean and Denis rode me to my hotel the Motel Chutes des Pegraveres in Dolbeau-Mistassini My gear and luggage was distributed over three of the four bikes
By the time we got in it was dark and everyone had to head home I enjoyed a wonderful steak for supper and then headed off to my beautiful room and after a boiling hot pounding shower I climbed into the queen-sized bed and with the sound of the falls lulling me to sleep
And thatrsquos where I will leave you until next weekhellipBelt Drive Betty

1 - Yoursquoll Become a Better DriverTherersquos no doubt that riding a motorcycle has its
benefits especially when it comes to driving a car Riding a motorcycle teaches you to look out for people who are trying to kill you yoursquoll see hazards sooner and yoursquoll end up with Ninja-like machine control So when it comes to driving yoursquoll put all that to work and be a cut above the rest Hopefully
2 - Everyone Wants To Talk To YouIt really doesnrsquot matter what kind of motorcycle
you ride yoursquoll find middle-aged men stare at you and your bike with a dreamy lust before giving you an unwanted compliment Chances are theyrsquoll have no idea what the bike is either
Choose a classic or even worse a modern classic and yoursquoll become a magnet for old men who have the knack of being able to have a conversation with you without you needing to add any input Yoursquoll reach for your helmet on more than one occasion but not be able to put in on and leave because theyrsquoll ask you a question when you try Yoursquoll be subjected to questions about your
bike that you donrsquot know the answer to or even care about
The conversation will go something like this Is that a Triumph I had a Triumph once (followed by 10 minutes of ldquoback in my day rdquo)
3 - When You Say Yoursquore A Biker This Is The First Image That
Comes To Peoplehellip
5 Things They Never Told You About Becoming A Bikerby Robert Whaley NW Ontario Motorcycling
You could be a nice guy you could have something that resembles a career you could do the occasional BBQ it doesnrsquot matter When you mention to anyone at a party that yoursquove got a motorcycle a picture of this guy will pop into their head Then as you explain that you donrsquot ride a cruiser and yoursquove got a sportsbike theyrsquoll just think yoursquore speaking Greek and will reevaluate you as some sort of nut job who tries to kill himself on the highways Itrsquos a no-win
4 - Bees and Other Flying Things Will Start To Scare You
Anything flying will scare you When yoursquore sitting around at a family BBQ and everyone starts going mental the moment a bee or a wasp arrives on the scene you sit there perfectly calm and wonder what all the fuss is about
However - when yoursquore on a bike itrsquos a different story There you are riding along on a nice sunny day with your visor up enjoying the countryside and the winding road in front of you
Then you spot it 50 metres away a large insect looks like its stopped going about its daily business and itrsquos homing in at you instead Before you can do anything about it it goes THHHHHWAP right on your cheek Close but luckily it didnrsquot get you in the eye Then you panic the little bastardrsquos still in your helmet You insert a clumsy leather-clad finger and try and flick whatever it is away but probably end up pissing it off even further Then you crank on the brakes and perform the worldrsquos fastest lid removal followed by a little bit of a flappy-armed dance
5 - You Canrsquot Figure Out Who To Wave ToWhen you get a motorcycle you become part of a
club Itrsquos a club no biker really talks about but yoursquore in it now and yoursquore not allowed to leave Ever When you first pass your test yoursquoll wave at anyone and everyone If yoursquore heading down a road and a dog looks at you the right way yoursquoll probably wave at him too
Unfortunately this will change There are no set rules as to how it will change but yoursquoll end up developing your own code Me I wave at everyone dogs too and donrsquot give a second thought to the riders that donrsquot wave back But thatrsquos just me Yoursquoll have to work out your own code
Breaking is one of the most important things that you will learn to do on a motorcycle When we first learn to ride we are taught techniques to protect ourselves from crashing such as breaking shifting and countersteering But generally the most effective way to avoid an accident is through proper use of the brakes
The rear brake in particular is probably one of the least understood controls on a motorcycle Many riders donrsquot use the rear brake at all claiming that it doesnrsquot actually aid in slowing down or stopping the bike and say that it locks up the rear tire when trying to use it In fact most experts agree that a balanced use of both the front and rear brake is the most effective way of slowing or stopping a motorcycle
The rear brake also plays a huge role in adding stability to the bike when maneuvering
Because of the weight distribution on a motorcycle the braking balance of stopping power between the front and rear is 70 on the front and 30 on the rear This should tell you that if you donrsquot use the rear brake at all you are loosing 30 of the potential stopping power on your bike This could become a critical factor if you find yourself in trouble and have to try
and avoid an accident
Why does the rear brake lock up Well once again it has to do with weight distribution When you find yourself in a braking situation and start applying the brakes the geometry of the bike changes (due partly to the suspension) and much of the total weight (bike + rider) is transferred to the front This allows the rider to apply much more front brake than rear brake (the 7030 ratio)
Learning the finer points of your bikersquos braking performance is the key to keeping your bike in control It is a good idea to explore those limits in a safe environment
Practice repeated stops in an abandoned parking lot and yoursquoll start to get a feel for the amount of
effort that triggers tire slippage or rear tire lock-up
Try stopping with your front brake only then rear only and then a combination of both Once you become more familiar with your bikersquos brakes the sensations of weight transfer will start to feel more apparent and familiar That way yoursquoll be much more aware of the limits of your bike and yoursquoll be much better prepared in stopping

CAV To Hold AGM During ATLANTICADE (Summerside PE)
ndash The relationship started off by accident back in 2007 in
Moncton during the inaugural Atlanticade eventldquoI saw these guys who were hanging around
together with CAV crests on their vests and didnrsquot really know who they wererdquo says Dale Hicks festival founder and chairman Hicks began to connect the dots on the final day when the closing parade ended at the local veteranrsquos health care center and the CAV riders were very engaged with the vets ldquoSo I starting asking ndash who are these guys and what does CAV stand forrdquo
That was over seven years ago and now the relationship between Atlanticade and the Canadian Army Veterans is as strong a bond as you will find anywhere in the world of motorcycle events
ldquoOnce we became aware of who the CAV group was and what they represented I said well this group reflects the best of what it means to be Canadian so we certainly wanted to build a relationship with themrdquo recalls Hicks
Since then CAV has played a significant role in some form or fashion at each Atlanticade event The festival now has a
ldquoSupport the Troopsrdquo activity incorporated into the schedule each year where CAV plays a lead role In addition CAV will also be found leading parades such as the Confederation Bridge Cruise and the Parade of Iron Horses
In fact in 2011 Hicks was surprised and honored to be presented with an
honorary membership into the CAV organization at the closing awards breakfast at the Algonquin Hotel in St Andrews
ldquoYeah they caught me off guard with that and I certainly was humbled and honored by to be presented the crest by Trapperrdquo says Hicks ldquoI donrsquot feel worthy of wearing the crest but I do sport it proudly at certain times during Atlanticaderdquo
The unique bond between the two organizations continues for the upcoming 8th annual festival being held in Summerside PEI from June 27th to
Continued Next Page
(Atlanticade chairman Dale Hicks had just presented Trapper Cane with the annual ldquoExperienced Rider Awardrdquo
when Cane turned the tables by presenting Hicks with his honorary CAV membership during the 2011 event)
July 1st Recenty CAV founder Paul (Trapper) Cane announced the grouprsquos annual general meeting will take place in Summerside in conjunction with Atlanticade
ldquoAtlanticade brings great energy to all riders and our CAV members certainly appreciate the extra efforts put forth by Dalersquos team to give us some profile at the eventrdquo says Cane ldquoNo doubt it has been a great relationship between the two organizations and we hope it continues well into the futurerdquo
For his part Hicks says that Atlanticade is very proud to be able to host the CAV ndash AGM as part of the 2014 festival ldquoWe always have a good turnout of CAV members at our event but this will mean an additional boost in participants from across the country We hope we can make it a little special for them and something they will remember years down the roadrdquo

and take a step up Pretty soon everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted offAnd the moral ishellip Life is going to shovel dirt on you all kinds of dirt The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up Each of our troubles is a steppingstone We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping never giving up Shake it off and take a step up

As we see in the conflicts that are brewing around this world of ours the power of the people to affect change is powerful
A small group of committed individuals can accomplish much
They can topple governments or back them up against a wall
The on highway motorcycle community in Canada is rapidly approaching 1 million registered motorcycles
Every weekend you will see thousands of us gathered at various events across our respective provinces and territories always riding and working for charities that mean something to us that hit
home for usVery seldom however do you see this community
rally around itself and its own issues outside of riders we lovecare about needing help
As we get prepared for the 2014 riding season we as riders are going to face a variety of issues Some will affect all of us other issues will only affect certain riders
Insurance is an issue that affects us all as are the condition of the highways in this country So is distracted driving
As a rider who has ridden across this great land of ours I can tell you road maintenance is also an issue in the majority of regions
Some of us will experience police harassment others will ride uninterrupted
Some of us will experience headaches in communities with Motorcycle Only Noise Bylaws others will never be detained or bothered
Some of us will have great experiences at dealerships and others not so much
Some of us will experience discrimination and be turned away from establishments because of how we dress and what we ride others will experience none of that
This summer when you experience issues do something about it
Remember the POWER OF THE PEOPLEDocument it Photos videos and written
accounts of the situations you encounterThen if you live in a provinceterritory with a
Riders Rights Organization like BCCOM ABATE BRO Coalition of Manitoba Motorcycle Groups
RAGE or the newly formed Atlantic Motorcycle Coalition get that information into them so that they have something concrete to work with
They canrsquot help you or anyone else unless YOU give them something to work with
If you are in a province where there is no collective to represent your voice like in Alberta NWT YT - the only three regions without a provincialterritorial lobbying voice then yoursquoll really want to document things well especially if it involves court and lawyers If it is about roadways and other concerns you can at least present your MLA with the information
Every rider who experiences something of a discomforting nature should stand up and say something do something so that the others who come after you might not have to experience the same thing
If you arenrsquot a member of your local riders rights coalition consider becoming one
Our voice counts be it as an individual taxpayer or in a collective with many voices united but they only count when the persons we are discussing our
situation with can actually do something about itWhining and not taking the right actions do
nothing to alleviate problems - so this summer get a camera for your motorcycle or helmet have a note pad and a pen in a tool pouch or jacket pocket and remember the information you take down and share with the right people will do some good if not today somewhere down the road
Thatrsquos whatrsquos on my mind today what are your thoughts on the topic of the Power of the People
Have a great day and if you are one of the lucky ones who is riding today please remember to ride like everyone around you is blind and cannot see you
Until next week I am your editor Belt Drive Betty

Art amp The Motorcycle My Name Milton BeginMake Harley DavidsonYear 1993Title ldquoFresh Paint n Old LeatherrdquoArtist Jeremy Ferguson
The tragedy of the space shuttle Challenger is what gave me the idea of the paint scheme I knew I wanted to keep the blue color on the bike After all I as well as the people who know me have always referred to the bike as Olrsquo Blue Flames and skulls have been well overdone so it came to me scorched paint and steel Must have been what the shuttle was going thru for that split second in the early stage of re-entry
The bike was shipped out of Milwaukee in 1993 I rode it to Milwaukee in 2003 for the 100th Anniversary Ride Home Celebration for Harley Davidson Plans were made to ride it home again in 2013 for the 110th Anniversary Fresh paint was in order Hence the name Fresh Paint n Old Leather I have kept and still ride with the same leather for all too many years Although you canrsquot see many of the details in the picture Jeremy scratched in the dates after it was painted onto the bottom of the front fender It looks awesome because Jeremy is a talented individual
If I am able I will ride home again in 2023 The bike will undoubtedly make it

Light travels faster than sound This is why some people appear
No idea quite Where you are exactly nor do you know where yet you need to be
You feel as tossed as tumultuously as leaves in the wind
Your thoughts are as
turbulent amp dangerous as the moods of a teenagerYou are almost certain you are going in an
aimless direction with your eyes closed but your hands refuse to relinquish their grips
There is a time when the mind gleefully spins events amp memories into painful brutal tellings amp the tears dry upon your cheeks as fast as the wind can touch them leaving no trace
This is the time when intelligent rationale simply fails amp pure raw emotion takes over
Coherent thought is impossibleSpeech is non-existentThe primal need to fight- flee or fuck has kicked
into overdrive amp so with the flick of a thumb you opt for the fastest although not necessarily Wisest course of action amp race away from your demons at breakneck speed almost daring them to catch you
And the racechase is onMile after mile flashes past beneath you amp you
handle the bike as easily as breathing There are times when you ldquobecome onerdquo with it amp this is surely that time
It is pure sensation the adrenalin rush of exhilaration that isnrsquot noticed
The passage of time on a stopwatch held by the hands of the Gods
Death might ride a pale horse but you have a Harley

On the sixth day God turned to Archangel Gabriel and said Today
I am going to create a land called Canada It will be a land of outstanding natural beauty It shall have tall majestic mountains full of mountain goats and eagles beautiful sparkling lakes bountiful with bass and trout forests full of elk and moose high cliffs over-looking sandy beaches with an abundance of sea life and rivers stocked with salmon
God continued
I shall make the land rich in resources so as to make the inhabitants prosper I shall call these inhabitants Canadians and they shall be known as the most friendly people on the earth
But Lord asked Gabriel dont you think you are being too generous to these Canadians
Not really replied GodJust wait and see the winters I am going to give

While the boy and his father were watching with amazement a fat old lady in a wheel chair rolled up to the moving walls and pressed a button The walls opened and the lady rolled between them into a small room The walls closed and the boy and his father watched the small circular numbers above the walls light up sequentially They continued to watch until it reached the last number and then the numbers began to light in the reverse order Then the walls opened up again and a gorgeous voluptuous 24-year-old blonde woman stepped out The father not taking his eyes off the young woman said quietly to his son

The Touch of a healerAn Irishman in a wheelchair entered a restaurant
one afternoon and asked the waitress for a cup of coffee The Irishman looked across the restaurant and asked Is that Jesus sitting over there The waitress nodded yes so the Irishman told her to give Jesus a cup of coffee on him
The next patron to come in was an Englishman with a hunched back He shuffled over to a booth painfully sat down and asked for a cup of hot tea He also glanced across the restaurant and asked Is that Jesus over there The waitress nodded so the Englishman said to give Jesus a cup of hot tea my treat
The third patron to come into the restaurant was a Redneck on crutches He hobbled over to a booth sat down and hollered Hey there sweet thang Hows about gettin me a cold glass of Coke He too looked across the restaurant and asked Is that
Gods boy over there The waitress once again nodded that it was so the Redneck said to give Jesus a cold glass of Coke on my bill
As Jesus got up to leave he passed by the Irishman touched him and said For your kindness you are healed The Irishman felt the strength come back to his legs got up and danced a jig right out the door
Jesus also passed by the Englishman touched him and said For your kindness you are healed The Englishman felt his back straightening up and he raised his hands praised the Lord and did a series of back flips out the door
Then Jesus walked up to the Redneck
The Redneck jumped up and yelled ldquoDonrsquot touch me Irsquom drawinrsquo disabilityrdquo
The most important thing for all motorcycle riders and vehicle drivers in Saskatchewan right now is standing-up and getting YOUR voice heardhellipand COUNTED
When it comes to the Saskatchewan Rate Review process each and every voice matters no matter how big no matter how small Every voice every opinion matters Use this process to make YOUR VOICE COUNT BEFORE April 28 2014 After thathellipit is too late
RAGE is here to continue what we started so successfully last year To continue to lobby SGI and the Provincial Government to put real and long-term public policy forward to end the continuous cycle of rate increases being implemented to
cover up escalating high-risk driving behaviour in Saskatchewan In a nutshell to stop just raising rates and not much else
If you parked a vehicle on the street downtown (any type of vehicle) and just left it there till it caused an accident How long would it take for that vehicle to be at-fault for causing one That is if it wasnrsquot stolen or vandalized first
Now if a person comes along gets into that same vehicle and drives off looking at their cellphone and texting How long
If it is a motorcycle and a person who just wrote their learners with zero experience (other than maybe a ride around the block) comes along gets on and rides off into traffic How long
The great thing about what we are putting forward is that it addresses ALL driver behavior Not vehicles but those who drive them ALL of us
You as a motorcycle and vehicle owner need to be speaking up this yearhellipin Saskatchewan you are more than likely both Making sure YOUR voice
Stand Up and Be Counted

RAGE Dare to Know
What your body needs to heal itself
The BodyTalk Systemwith Practitioner Bev Groot
To book an appointment or find out more about the BodyTalk System call
gets counted To stop the endless cycle of just raising rates with not much else
This will allow RAGE to have a strong voice when it comes to the Personal Injury Insurance Review happening later this year Remember YOUR ldquoa-la-carterdquo recommendation has been approved by government
To continue to fight for mandatory safety training (Yes RAGE has always wanted this to be mandatory)
To continue to work with SGI on the things they are already implementing as a result of RAGE and ALL YOUR VOICES
YOUR VOICEno matter what your messageMATTERS to RAGE
Without all YOUR voicesindividuallyeach counting as 1UNITED into manyhellipSGI will simply not listen
Since the 1980rsquos and up until last yearvery few voices were raised to be counted during the Rate Review Process SGI pretty much did what they wantedthen last year BAM
For years SGI shut out anyone any group many efforts by the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel and the Provincial Government for any changeswhyNO UNITED VOICES Yes they brought in the 3 year MGDL in 2011 However they didnrsquot work with the groups involved past initial consultations SGI came to their own conclusions (no one could agree) and implemented what they
wanted SGI then stopped returning calls and continued to increase rates in 2012 and 2013
Even the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel has had difficulty getting the information they need from SGI to make informed decisions
Is it little wonder that the Minister Responsible for SGI felt she didnrsquot have to listen to the ldquosuggestionrdquo of the Rate Review Panel After all they never really had in previous years
Hammering us with another 15 increase could have been meant to knock us off our motorcycles and give up After all that hard workhellipand yet another increase Irsquom betting they expected us to cry in our coffee about how unfair they are about how they just do want they want anyway how we should just privatize and then do nothing more than that
Now that might have workedhellipin the past That is until last year the first time since the 1980rsquos when RAGE worked hard to organize YOUR voices YOU each used your own voices You each counted Then RAGE presented a proposal that took EACH ONE and MADE THEM COUNT as a UNITED VOICE
Then we did the unthinkablehellipWE STAYED We werenrsquot just there for 3 meetings WE
were 100 ALL INhellipFOR YOU To make sure YOUR VOICES continued to count RAGE continued to work with SGI on the wording for the recommendations put forward providing information for awareness sharing the ldquoCount Your Motorcyclerdquo game and much more
When it comes right down to it YOUR opinions and comments should matter to YOU IT does not matter if you donrsquot agree with the overall message of RAGE or your local riding club group
association coffee groupwhatever WHAT MATTERSis YOU getting YOUR VOICE
heard YOU canrsquot leave it up to everyone else You canrsquot assume anyone else is going to do this for YOU WE ALL MUST FIGHT
The worst thing you can do is nothing THAT is even worse than complaining and doing nothing Complaincomplain to your hearts contentto the Sask Rate Review Panel
THEN go have coffeeIf you canrsquot make it to the meeting in person
please at the very least contact the Rate Review Panel with YOUR voice
Each of our own voices count as 1 in this processjust as the voice of RAGE only counts as 1 We know SGI only listens when there are MANY following a UNITED theme
YOU can get YOUR voice heardand COUNTEDby submitting your comments regarding the application by April 28 2014 using any of the following methods

After a magnificent breakfast I started loading up my bike and it wasnrsquot long before the gang arrived to come take me sightseeing
Our first stop of the day after topping up our tanks was at the look out of Lac Saint Jean
From here you truly get a sense of how immense this lake is
We took some time to admire the view and chat about the plans for the rest of the day
Our next stop was to be the Camp Musical a purely French speaking musical camp for students to come and immerse themselves in the culture of the region and the music that is their passion
The camp has numerous housing units and the most incredible concert hall The Raymond Tremblay concert hall has 320 seats 2 piano rooms a bistro terrace and exhibition hall The Egyptian goddess Hathor is symbolized here and she represents happiness joy and music
The acoustics even when you are just speaking
well stunning would be the word to describe the sound quality
Everything about this 40-year-old institute screams creativity We went up to the gazebo on the observation deck and took in the panorama Breathtakingly beautiful you can see why this region inspires music and lyrics
After our tour of the camp was done we headed out towards the Village Historique Val-Jalbert Canadarsquos BEST preserved Ghost Town I couldnrsquot wait
The ride from the Camp Musical to Val-Jalbert which is just northwest of Chambord took about 30 minutes It was a wee bit overcast but the temperature was perfect for riding
When we arrived at Val-Jalbert we headed into the gorgeous visitor information centre and were assigned a tour guide named Michelle Pelletier Michelle turned out to be an amazing tour guide
She spoke in both French and English easily and made all of us feel so welcome

We got in an electric cart and began our tour with Michelle telling us about the history of this town and why it is such a significant tourism and historical attraction
You see this town was the dream of one man Damase Jalbert He was the founder of the Ouiatchouan Pulp Company that built a pulp mill
here The town he founded for his employees started out as Saint-Georges-de-Ouiatchouan named for the river and the falls that powered the mill The name was changed to Val-Jalbert in 1913 in honor of the man whose dream it was
Damase wanted to build the best company town and provide his employees with a rarified quality of living
He died suddenly three years after opening the mill The mill faced a cash shortage and was bought by American shareholders in 1904 In 1909 the Chicoutimi Pulp Company bought it
From 1909 to 1922 the village flourished and was the envy of many surrounding communities
The company town offered employees electricity and running water in their homes a good 25 years before anyone else in Quebec had power
In 1923 the demand for mechanical pulp began to fall and by 1924 most of the workers had been laid off
On August 13th 1927 all operations ceased and over the next few years the village became abandoned
In 1942 the government took the property back for non-payment of taxes and in 1970 Val-Jalbert had new life breathed into it as a tourist attraction In recent years the government of Quebec has spent 19+ million dollars to upgrade and improve the visitors information centre put in a glass observation deck and a whole host of other improvements
Val-Jalbert must have been the most amazing town in the region in its day because this place is utterly amazing today The Quebec government has spent a lot of money and time restoring this
place to preserve the history and they have done an incredible job
Our first stop on the tour was the convent school where we met ldquoMother Superiorrdquo who took us through the school and answered our questions She was stern but I think there was a glint of mischief in her eyes as she ldquodisciplinedrdquo us on proper etiquette
There was the most amazing art display in
one room and in another the historical timeline of the residents of Val-Jalbert to take in The antiques and furnishings truly made you feel you were stuck in a time warp
After touring the school we headed towards the post office The ldquopostmistressrdquo was this chatty little gal that had us peeing ourselves we were laughing so hard It was pretty cool to see the old stamps and the various bits of equipment of the day
We walked up the street to take a tour of the restored duplexes that line the main street You have to see these places to truly appreciate them Imagine 1910 and you can flip a switch and have lights turn a tap and have water flush a toilet and not have to walk to the outhouse
These company houses were so well built and the people who lived here were fiercely loyal to the company that treated them so well
From the duplexes we went to the general store where we ran into the ldquoMayorrdquo the only person in town to have a car The general store offers up everything a visitor could need plus acts as a museum with lots of interesting period pieces on display
Michelle had gotten keys to show us the duplexes that have been upgraded and make up the 4 star accommodations offered here
We walked across the street and were taken to view to the most amazing hotel rooms
Rustic and yet modern these rooms are spacious well appointed and every one of them has unique little shadow boxes filled with antiques
All of the modern appliances Internet boxes and TV are all hidden in closets so that they are not visible It makes for a very appealing deacutecor
Although the rooms appear to only have one bed in the matter of a few moments Michelle had the
couch taken apart and the bed folded down out of the wall for a second bed
The bathrooms are absolute marvels with big tubs and glass showers
The parking for the hotel rooms is hidden behind a row of trees so that there is no real visual of anything modern on the face of things
From the hotel rooms we got back in the electric cart and headed towards the ldquoruinsrdquo Although many of the duplexes have been restored Michelle explained to us that the style of construction for the company houses had been changed and that
the newer houses had collapsed on themselves Some of the buildings are slated for restoration but many are too far-gone The streets they line are preserved so that one can walk by the ruins and get a feel for how large this town really was and how well laid out it was
Our next stop was the Mill Impressive is a good word to describe this place We had our lunch in the Old Mill Restaurant The food served here complimented the
atmosphere ndash IMPECCABLEThe chef Carl Murray has a great reputation that
he totally lives up toThe service
the food the atmosphere and the company were all top drawer
After our fabulous meal it was time to head to the tram and go experience the waterfalls
The ride up to the top gives you the most magnificent view of the region The Ouiatchouan Falls are some 65 feet higher than the Niagara Falls
and the power of them is palpable The rushing water is almost deafening as you walk out on to the glass observation deck
From the falls we walked down to the mill again and took in the most impressive interactive show I have ever experienced In the underbelly of the once abandoned mill amongst all of the monster gearing and shafts the lights go dim you feel the mist in the air and all of a sudden the walls become alive with characters from the original town and they take you through the historical timeline of the village and its people
It is absolutely captivating you become totally involved in the lives and the hardship of the villagers
The show signaled the end of our tour and Michelle took us back to the visitor information centre and sent us all off with gifts of blueberry jam and blueberry tea to remember our visit by
My bike had been acting up off and on and I had been keeping an eye out on a leak coming from the front of the engine The noise from the shifter region was becoming louder but I wasnrsquot experiencing any power loss so I kept an ear out and we kept riding
Our next stop was at the Cheddar Cheese Museum in Saint-Prime where a sweet young man took us on a tour
He showed us the old-fashioned way cheddar cheese was made and then we got to tour the museum portion of the factory 4 generations of the family Perron have made cheddar cheese here
The museum has over 650 artifacts that involve the familyrsquos history in cheese making including the stamps and other machinery used in exporting the cheese
The Cheddar Cheese Museum offers interactive displays and hosts several workshops on the art of making cheddar Upstairs you can view the family home of the Perronrsquos and see all of the period specific furnishings
Along with guided tours you can also sample the various types of cheddar cheese which we did and oh my I have never tasted cheddar that was so smooth and rich
After thanking our young guide for the fabulous tour we headed off
We stopped at Tim Hortonrsquos for a coffee and sitting out on the curb in front of my bike I could see the leak was getting worse I was very concerned and asked if there was a shop nearby where I could at least check the oil level in my primary
Rejean talked to one of the local riders Denis AKA Tarte au Sucre (Sweet Pie) and he took us to Carl Tremblayrsquos shop Carl is a mechanic that many here swear by His rates are far cheaper than the dealerships and every rider in the region says hersquos a guru He took the primary apart and sure
enough discovered that the compensating sprocket was dead and the stator was leaking With parts ordered and Rejeanrsquos wife going to the Harley shop to pick them up Francine Lynne Rejean and Denis rode me to my hotel the Motel Chutes des Pegraveres in Dolbeau-Mistassini My gear and luggage was distributed over three of the four bikes
By the time we got in it was dark and everyone had to head home I enjoyed a wonderful steak for supper and then headed off to my beautiful room and after a boiling hot pounding shower I climbed into the queen-sized bed and with the sound of the falls lulling me to sleep
And thatrsquos where I will leave you until next weekhellipBelt Drive Betty

1 - Yoursquoll Become a Better DriverTherersquos no doubt that riding a motorcycle has its
benefits especially when it comes to driving a car Riding a motorcycle teaches you to look out for people who are trying to kill you yoursquoll see hazards sooner and yoursquoll end up with Ninja-like machine control So when it comes to driving yoursquoll put all that to work and be a cut above the rest Hopefully
2 - Everyone Wants To Talk To YouIt really doesnrsquot matter what kind of motorcycle
you ride yoursquoll find middle-aged men stare at you and your bike with a dreamy lust before giving you an unwanted compliment Chances are theyrsquoll have no idea what the bike is either
Choose a classic or even worse a modern classic and yoursquoll become a magnet for old men who have the knack of being able to have a conversation with you without you needing to add any input Yoursquoll reach for your helmet on more than one occasion but not be able to put in on and leave because theyrsquoll ask you a question when you try Yoursquoll be subjected to questions about your
bike that you donrsquot know the answer to or even care about
The conversation will go something like this Is that a Triumph I had a Triumph once (followed by 10 minutes of ldquoback in my day rdquo)
3 - When You Say Yoursquore A Biker This Is The First Image That
Comes To Peoplehellip
5 Things They Never Told You About Becoming A Bikerby Robert Whaley NW Ontario Motorcycling
You could be a nice guy you could have something that resembles a career you could do the occasional BBQ it doesnrsquot matter When you mention to anyone at a party that yoursquove got a motorcycle a picture of this guy will pop into their head Then as you explain that you donrsquot ride a cruiser and yoursquove got a sportsbike theyrsquoll just think yoursquore speaking Greek and will reevaluate you as some sort of nut job who tries to kill himself on the highways Itrsquos a no-win
4 - Bees and Other Flying Things Will Start To Scare You
Anything flying will scare you When yoursquore sitting around at a family BBQ and everyone starts going mental the moment a bee or a wasp arrives on the scene you sit there perfectly calm and wonder what all the fuss is about
However - when yoursquore on a bike itrsquos a different story There you are riding along on a nice sunny day with your visor up enjoying the countryside and the winding road in front of you
Then you spot it 50 metres away a large insect looks like its stopped going about its daily business and itrsquos homing in at you instead Before you can do anything about it it goes THHHHHWAP right on your cheek Close but luckily it didnrsquot get you in the eye Then you panic the little bastardrsquos still in your helmet You insert a clumsy leather-clad finger and try and flick whatever it is away but probably end up pissing it off even further Then you crank on the brakes and perform the worldrsquos fastest lid removal followed by a little bit of a flappy-armed dance
5 - You Canrsquot Figure Out Who To Wave ToWhen you get a motorcycle you become part of a
club Itrsquos a club no biker really talks about but yoursquore in it now and yoursquore not allowed to leave Ever When you first pass your test yoursquoll wave at anyone and everyone If yoursquore heading down a road and a dog looks at you the right way yoursquoll probably wave at him too
Unfortunately this will change There are no set rules as to how it will change but yoursquoll end up developing your own code Me I wave at everyone dogs too and donrsquot give a second thought to the riders that donrsquot wave back But thatrsquos just me Yoursquoll have to work out your own code
Breaking is one of the most important things that you will learn to do on a motorcycle When we first learn to ride we are taught techniques to protect ourselves from crashing such as breaking shifting and countersteering But generally the most effective way to avoid an accident is through proper use of the brakes
The rear brake in particular is probably one of the least understood controls on a motorcycle Many riders donrsquot use the rear brake at all claiming that it doesnrsquot actually aid in slowing down or stopping the bike and say that it locks up the rear tire when trying to use it In fact most experts agree that a balanced use of both the front and rear brake is the most effective way of slowing or stopping a motorcycle
The rear brake also plays a huge role in adding stability to the bike when maneuvering
Because of the weight distribution on a motorcycle the braking balance of stopping power between the front and rear is 70 on the front and 30 on the rear This should tell you that if you donrsquot use the rear brake at all you are loosing 30 of the potential stopping power on your bike This could become a critical factor if you find yourself in trouble and have to try
and avoid an accident
Why does the rear brake lock up Well once again it has to do with weight distribution When you find yourself in a braking situation and start applying the brakes the geometry of the bike changes (due partly to the suspension) and much of the total weight (bike + rider) is transferred to the front This allows the rider to apply much more front brake than rear brake (the 7030 ratio)
Learning the finer points of your bikersquos braking performance is the key to keeping your bike in control It is a good idea to explore those limits in a safe environment
Practice repeated stops in an abandoned parking lot and yoursquoll start to get a feel for the amount of
effort that triggers tire slippage or rear tire lock-up
Try stopping with your front brake only then rear only and then a combination of both Once you become more familiar with your bikersquos brakes the sensations of weight transfer will start to feel more apparent and familiar That way yoursquoll be much more aware of the limits of your bike and yoursquoll be much better prepared in stopping

CAV To Hold AGM During ATLANTICADE (Summerside PE)
ndash The relationship started off by accident back in 2007 in
Moncton during the inaugural Atlanticade eventldquoI saw these guys who were hanging around
together with CAV crests on their vests and didnrsquot really know who they wererdquo says Dale Hicks festival founder and chairman Hicks began to connect the dots on the final day when the closing parade ended at the local veteranrsquos health care center and the CAV riders were very engaged with the vets ldquoSo I starting asking ndash who are these guys and what does CAV stand forrdquo
That was over seven years ago and now the relationship between Atlanticade and the Canadian Army Veterans is as strong a bond as you will find anywhere in the world of motorcycle events
ldquoOnce we became aware of who the CAV group was and what they represented I said well this group reflects the best of what it means to be Canadian so we certainly wanted to build a relationship with themrdquo recalls Hicks
Since then CAV has played a significant role in some form or fashion at each Atlanticade event The festival now has a
ldquoSupport the Troopsrdquo activity incorporated into the schedule each year where CAV plays a lead role In addition CAV will also be found leading parades such as the Confederation Bridge Cruise and the Parade of Iron Horses
In fact in 2011 Hicks was surprised and honored to be presented with an
honorary membership into the CAV organization at the closing awards breakfast at the Algonquin Hotel in St Andrews
ldquoYeah they caught me off guard with that and I certainly was humbled and honored by to be presented the crest by Trapperrdquo says Hicks ldquoI donrsquot feel worthy of wearing the crest but I do sport it proudly at certain times during Atlanticaderdquo
The unique bond between the two organizations continues for the upcoming 8th annual festival being held in Summerside PEI from June 27th to
Continued Next Page
(Atlanticade chairman Dale Hicks had just presented Trapper Cane with the annual ldquoExperienced Rider Awardrdquo
when Cane turned the tables by presenting Hicks with his honorary CAV membership during the 2011 event)
July 1st Recenty CAV founder Paul (Trapper) Cane announced the grouprsquos annual general meeting will take place in Summerside in conjunction with Atlanticade
ldquoAtlanticade brings great energy to all riders and our CAV members certainly appreciate the extra efforts put forth by Dalersquos team to give us some profile at the eventrdquo says Cane ldquoNo doubt it has been a great relationship between the two organizations and we hope it continues well into the futurerdquo
For his part Hicks says that Atlanticade is very proud to be able to host the CAV ndash AGM as part of the 2014 festival ldquoWe always have a good turnout of CAV members at our event but this will mean an additional boost in participants from across the country We hope we can make it a little special for them and something they will remember years down the roadrdquo

and take a step up Pretty soon everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted offAnd the moral ishellip Life is going to shovel dirt on you all kinds of dirt The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up Each of our troubles is a steppingstone We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping never giving up Shake it off and take a step up

As we see in the conflicts that are brewing around this world of ours the power of the people to affect change is powerful
A small group of committed individuals can accomplish much
They can topple governments or back them up against a wall
The on highway motorcycle community in Canada is rapidly approaching 1 million registered motorcycles
Every weekend you will see thousands of us gathered at various events across our respective provinces and territories always riding and working for charities that mean something to us that hit
home for usVery seldom however do you see this community
rally around itself and its own issues outside of riders we lovecare about needing help
As we get prepared for the 2014 riding season we as riders are going to face a variety of issues Some will affect all of us other issues will only affect certain riders
Insurance is an issue that affects us all as are the condition of the highways in this country So is distracted driving
As a rider who has ridden across this great land of ours I can tell you road maintenance is also an issue in the majority of regions
Some of us will experience police harassment others will ride uninterrupted
Some of us will experience headaches in communities with Motorcycle Only Noise Bylaws others will never be detained or bothered
Some of us will have great experiences at dealerships and others not so much
Some of us will experience discrimination and be turned away from establishments because of how we dress and what we ride others will experience none of that
This summer when you experience issues do something about it
Remember the POWER OF THE PEOPLEDocument it Photos videos and written
accounts of the situations you encounterThen if you live in a provinceterritory with a
Riders Rights Organization like BCCOM ABATE BRO Coalition of Manitoba Motorcycle Groups
RAGE or the newly formed Atlantic Motorcycle Coalition get that information into them so that they have something concrete to work with
They canrsquot help you or anyone else unless YOU give them something to work with
If you are in a province where there is no collective to represent your voice like in Alberta NWT YT - the only three regions without a provincialterritorial lobbying voice then yoursquoll really want to document things well especially if it involves court and lawyers If it is about roadways and other concerns you can at least present your MLA with the information
Every rider who experiences something of a discomforting nature should stand up and say something do something so that the others who come after you might not have to experience the same thing
If you arenrsquot a member of your local riders rights coalition consider becoming one
Our voice counts be it as an individual taxpayer or in a collective with many voices united but they only count when the persons we are discussing our
situation with can actually do something about itWhining and not taking the right actions do
nothing to alleviate problems - so this summer get a camera for your motorcycle or helmet have a note pad and a pen in a tool pouch or jacket pocket and remember the information you take down and share with the right people will do some good if not today somewhere down the road
Thatrsquos whatrsquos on my mind today what are your thoughts on the topic of the Power of the People
Have a great day and if you are one of the lucky ones who is riding today please remember to ride like everyone around you is blind and cannot see you
Until next week I am your editor Belt Drive Betty

The tragedy of the space shuttle Challenger is what gave me the idea of the paint scheme I knew I wanted to keep the blue color on the bike After all I as well as the people who know me have always referred to the bike as Olrsquo Blue Flames and skulls have been well overdone so it came to me scorched paint and steel Must have been what the shuttle was going thru for that split second in the early stage of re-entry
The bike was shipped out of Milwaukee in 1993 I rode it to Milwaukee in 2003 for the 100th Anniversary Ride Home Celebration for Harley Davidson Plans were made to ride it home again in 2013 for the 110th Anniversary Fresh paint was in order Hence the name Fresh Paint n Old Leather I have kept and still ride with the same leather for all too many years Although you canrsquot see many of the details in the picture Jeremy scratched in the dates after it was painted onto the bottom of the front fender It looks awesome because Jeremy is a talented individual
If I am able I will ride home again in 2023 The bike will undoubtedly make it

Light travels faster than sound This is why some people appear
No idea quite Where you are exactly nor do you know where yet you need to be
You feel as tossed as tumultuously as leaves in the wind
Your thoughts are as
turbulent amp dangerous as the moods of a teenagerYou are almost certain you are going in an
aimless direction with your eyes closed but your hands refuse to relinquish their grips
There is a time when the mind gleefully spins events amp memories into painful brutal tellings amp the tears dry upon your cheeks as fast as the wind can touch them leaving no trace
This is the time when intelligent rationale simply fails amp pure raw emotion takes over
Coherent thought is impossibleSpeech is non-existentThe primal need to fight- flee or fuck has kicked
into overdrive amp so with the flick of a thumb you opt for the fastest although not necessarily Wisest course of action amp race away from your demons at breakneck speed almost daring them to catch you
And the racechase is onMile after mile flashes past beneath you amp you
handle the bike as easily as breathing There are times when you ldquobecome onerdquo with it amp this is surely that time
It is pure sensation the adrenalin rush of exhilaration that isnrsquot noticed
The passage of time on a stopwatch held by the hands of the Gods
Death might ride a pale horse but you have a Harley
And yet at some point there is the indescribable

On the sixth day God turned to Archangel Gabriel and said Today
I am going to create a land called Canada It will be a land of outstanding natural beauty It shall have tall majestic mountains full of mountain goats and eagles beautiful sparkling lakes bountiful with bass and trout forests full of elk and moose high cliffs over-looking sandy beaches with an abundance of sea life and rivers stocked with salmon
God continued
I shall make the land rich in resources so as to make the inhabitants prosper I shall call these inhabitants Canadians and they shall be known as the most friendly people on the earth
But Lord asked Gabriel dont you think you are being too generous to these Canadians
Not really replied GodJust wait and see the winters I am going to give

While the boy and his father were watching with amazement a fat old lady in a wheel chair rolled up to the moving walls and pressed a button The walls opened and the lady rolled between them into a small room The walls closed and the boy and his father watched the small circular numbers above the walls light up sequentially They continued to watch until it reached the last number and then the numbers began to light in the reverse order Then the walls opened up again and a gorgeous voluptuous 24-year-old blonde woman stepped out The father not taking his eyes off the young woman said quietly to his son

The Touch of a healerAn Irishman in a wheelchair entered a restaurant
one afternoon and asked the waitress for a cup of coffee The Irishman looked across the restaurant and asked Is that Jesus sitting over there The waitress nodded yes so the Irishman told her to give Jesus a cup of coffee on him
The next patron to come in was an Englishman with a hunched back He shuffled over to a booth painfully sat down and asked for a cup of hot tea He also glanced across the restaurant and asked Is that Jesus over there The waitress nodded so the Englishman said to give Jesus a cup of hot tea my treat
The third patron to come into the restaurant was a Redneck on crutches He hobbled over to a booth sat down and hollered Hey there sweet thang Hows about gettin me a cold glass of Coke He too looked across the restaurant and asked Is that
Gods boy over there The waitress once again nodded that it was so the Redneck said to give Jesus a cold glass of Coke on my bill
As Jesus got up to leave he passed by the Irishman touched him and said For your kindness you are healed The Irishman felt the strength come back to his legs got up and danced a jig right out the door
Jesus also passed by the Englishman touched him and said For your kindness you are healed The Englishman felt his back straightening up and he raised his hands praised the Lord and did a series of back flips out the door
Then Jesus walked up to the Redneck
The Redneck jumped up and yelled ldquoDonrsquot touch me Irsquom drawinrsquo disabilityrdquo
The most important thing for all motorcycle riders and vehicle drivers in Saskatchewan right now is standing-up and getting YOUR voice heardhellipand COUNTED
When it comes to the Saskatchewan Rate Review process each and every voice matters no matter how big no matter how small Every voice every opinion matters Use this process to make YOUR VOICE COUNT BEFORE April 28 2014 After thathellipit is too late
RAGE is here to continue what we started so successfully last year To continue to lobby SGI and the Provincial Government to put real and long-term public policy forward to end the continuous cycle of rate increases being implemented to
cover up escalating high-risk driving behaviour in Saskatchewan In a nutshell to stop just raising rates and not much else
If you parked a vehicle on the street downtown (any type of vehicle) and just left it there till it caused an accident How long would it take for that vehicle to be at-fault for causing one That is if it wasnrsquot stolen or vandalized first
Now if a person comes along gets into that same vehicle and drives off looking at their cellphone and texting How long
If it is a motorcycle and a person who just wrote their learners with zero experience (other than maybe a ride around the block) comes along gets on and rides off into traffic How long
The great thing about what we are putting forward is that it addresses ALL driver behavior Not vehicles but those who drive them ALL of us
You as a motorcycle and vehicle owner need to be speaking up this yearhellipin Saskatchewan you are more than likely both Making sure YOUR voice
Stand Up and Be Counted

RAGE Dare to Know

To book an appointment or find out more about the BodyTalk System call
gets counted To stop the endless cycle of just raising rates with not much else
This will allow RAGE to have a strong voice when it comes to the Personal Injury Insurance Review happening later this year Remember YOUR ldquoa-la-carterdquo recommendation has been approved by government
To continue to fight for mandatory safety training (Yes RAGE has always wanted this to be mandatory)
To continue to work with SGI on the things they are already implementing as a result of RAGE and ALL YOUR VOICES
YOUR VOICEno matter what your messageMATTERS to RAGE
Without all YOUR voicesindividuallyeach counting as 1UNITED into manyhellipSGI will simply not listen
Since the 1980rsquos and up until last yearvery few voices were raised to be counted during the Rate Review Process SGI pretty much did what they wantedthen last year BAM
For years SGI shut out anyone any group many efforts by the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel and the Provincial Government for any changeswhyNO UNITED VOICES Yes they brought in the 3 year MGDL in 2011 However they didnrsquot work with the groups involved past initial consultations SGI came to their own conclusions (no one could agree) and implemented what they
wanted SGI then stopped returning calls and continued to increase rates in 2012 and 2013
Even the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel has had difficulty getting the information they need from SGI to make informed decisions
Is it little wonder that the Minister Responsible for SGI felt she didnrsquot have to listen to the ldquosuggestionrdquo of the Rate Review Panel After all they never really had in previous years
Hammering us with another 15 increase could have been meant to knock us off our motorcycles and give up After all that hard workhellipand yet another increase Irsquom betting they expected us to cry in our coffee about how unfair they are about how they just do want they want anyway how we should just privatize and then do nothing more than that
Now that might have workedhellipin the past That is until last year the first time since the 1980rsquos when RAGE worked hard to organize YOUR voices YOU each used your own voices You each counted Then RAGE presented a proposal that took EACH ONE and MADE THEM COUNT as a UNITED VOICE
Then we did the unthinkablehellipWE STAYED We werenrsquot just there for 3 meetings WE
were 100 ALL INhellipFOR YOU To make sure YOUR VOICES continued to count RAGE continued to work with SGI on the wording for the recommendations put forward providing information for awareness sharing the ldquoCount Your Motorcyclerdquo game and much more
When it comes right down to it YOUR opinions and comments should matter to YOU IT does not matter if you donrsquot agree with the overall message of RAGE or your local riding club group
association coffee groupwhatever WHAT MATTERSis YOU getting YOUR VOICE
heard YOU canrsquot leave it up to everyone else You canrsquot assume anyone else is going to do this for YOU WE ALL MUST FIGHT
The worst thing you can do is nothing THAT is even worse than complaining and doing nothing Complaincomplain to your hearts contentto the Sask Rate Review Panel
THEN go have coffeeIf you canrsquot make it to the meeting in person
please at the very least contact the Rate Review Panel with YOUR voice
Each of our own voices count as 1 in this processjust as the voice of RAGE only counts as 1 We know SGI only listens when there are MANY following a UNITED theme
YOU can get YOUR voice heardand COUNTEDby submitting your comments regarding the application by April 28 2014 using any of the following methods

After a magnificent breakfast I started loading up my bike and it wasnrsquot long before the gang arrived to come take me sightseeing
Our first stop of the day after topping up our tanks was at the look out of Lac Saint Jean
From here you truly get a sense of how immense this lake is
We took some time to admire the view and chat about the plans for the rest of the day
Our next stop was to be the Camp Musical a purely French speaking musical camp for students to come and immerse themselves in the culture of the region and the music that is their passion
The camp has numerous housing units and the most incredible concert hall The Raymond Tremblay concert hall has 320 seats 2 piano rooms a bistro terrace and exhibition hall The Egyptian goddess Hathor is symbolized here and she represents happiness joy and music
The acoustics even when you are just speaking
well stunning would be the word to describe the sound quality
Everything about this 40-year-old institute screams creativity We went up to the gazebo on the observation deck and took in the panorama Breathtakingly beautiful you can see why this region inspires music and lyrics
After our tour of the camp was done we headed out towards the Village Historique Val-Jalbert Canadarsquos BEST preserved Ghost Town I couldnrsquot wait
The ride from the Camp Musical to Val-Jalbert which is just northwest of Chambord took about 30 minutes It was a wee bit overcast but the temperature was perfect for riding
When we arrived at Val-Jalbert we headed into the gorgeous visitor information centre and were assigned a tour guide named Michelle Pelletier Michelle turned out to be an amazing tour guide
She spoke in both French and English easily and made all of us feel so welcome

Saturday May 31st 2014 830 am Rain date June 1st rain or shine
We got in an electric cart and began our tour with Michelle telling us about the history of this town and why it is such a significant tourism and historical attraction
You see this town was the dream of one man Damase Jalbert He was the founder of the Ouiatchouan Pulp Company that built a pulp mill
here The town he founded for his employees started out as Saint-Georges-de-Ouiatchouan named for the river and the falls that powered the mill The name was changed to Val-Jalbert in 1913 in honor of the man whose dream it was
Damase wanted to build the best company town and provide his employees with a rarified quality of living
He died suddenly three years after opening the mill The mill faced a cash shortage and was bought by American shareholders in 1904 In 1909 the Chicoutimi Pulp Company bought it
From 1909 to 1922 the village flourished and was the envy of many surrounding communities
The company town offered employees electricity and running water in their homes a good 25 years before anyone else in Quebec had power
In 1923 the demand for mechanical pulp began to fall and by 1924 most of the workers had been laid off
On August 13th 1927 all operations ceased and over the next few years the village became abandoned
In 1942 the government took the property back for non-payment of taxes and in 1970 Val-Jalbert had new life breathed into it as a tourist attraction In recent years the government of Quebec has spent 19+ million dollars to upgrade and improve the visitors information centre put in a glass observation deck and a whole host of other improvements
Val-Jalbert must have been the most amazing town in the region in its day because this place is utterly amazing today The Quebec government has spent a lot of money and time restoring this
place to preserve the history and they have done an incredible job
Our first stop on the tour was the convent school where we met ldquoMother Superiorrdquo who took us through the school and answered our questions She was stern but I think there was a glint of mischief in her eyes as she ldquodisciplinedrdquo us on proper etiquette
There was the most amazing art display in
one room and in another the historical timeline of the residents of Val-Jalbert to take in The antiques and furnishings truly made you feel you were stuck in a time warp
After touring the school we headed towards the post office The ldquopostmistressrdquo was this chatty little gal that had us peeing ourselves we were laughing so hard It was pretty cool to see the old stamps and the various bits of equipment of the day
We walked up the street to take a tour of the restored duplexes that line the main street You have to see these places to truly appreciate them Imagine 1910 and you can flip a switch and have lights turn a tap and have water flush a toilet and not have to walk to the outhouse
These company houses were so well built and the people who lived here were fiercely loyal to the company that treated them so well
From the duplexes we went to the general store where we ran into the ldquoMayorrdquo the only person in town to have a car The general store offers up everything a visitor could need plus acts as a museum with lots of interesting period pieces on display
Michelle had gotten keys to show us the duplexes that have been upgraded and make up the 4 star accommodations offered here
We walked across the street and were taken to view to the most amazing hotel rooms
Rustic and yet modern these rooms are spacious well appointed and every one of them has unique little shadow boxes filled with antiques
All of the modern appliances Internet boxes and TV are all hidden in closets so that they are not visible It makes for a very appealing deacutecor
Although the rooms appear to only have one bed in the matter of a few moments Michelle had the
couch taken apart and the bed folded down out of the wall for a second bed
The bathrooms are absolute marvels with big tubs and glass showers
The parking for the hotel rooms is hidden behind a row of trees so that there is no real visual of anything modern on the face of things
From the hotel rooms we got back in the electric cart and headed towards the ldquoruinsrdquo Although many of the duplexes have been restored Michelle explained to us that the style of construction for the company houses had been changed and that
the newer houses had collapsed on themselves Some of the buildings are slated for restoration but many are too far-gone The streets they line are preserved so that one can walk by the ruins and get a feel for how large this town really was and how well laid out it was
Our next stop was the Mill Impressive is a good word to describe this place We had our lunch in the Old Mill Restaurant The food served here complimented the
atmosphere ndash IMPECCABLEThe chef Carl Murray has a great reputation that
he totally lives up toThe service
the food the atmosphere and the company were all top drawer
After our fabulous meal it was time to head to the tram and go experience the waterfalls
The ride up to the top gives you the most magnificent view of the region The Ouiatchouan Falls are some 65 feet higher than the Niagara Falls
and the power of them is palpable The rushing water is almost deafening as you walk out on to the glass observation deck
From the falls we walked down to the mill again and took in the most impressive interactive show I have ever experienced In the underbelly of the once abandoned mill amongst all of the monster gearing and shafts the lights go dim you feel the mist in the air and all of a sudden the walls become alive with characters from the original town and they take you through the historical timeline of the village and its people
It is absolutely captivating you become totally involved in the lives and the hardship of the villagers
The show signaled the end of our tour and Michelle took us back to the visitor information centre and sent us all off with gifts of blueberry jam and blueberry tea to remember our visit by
My bike had been acting up off and on and I had been keeping an eye out on a leak coming from the front of the engine The noise from the shifter region was becoming louder but I wasnrsquot experiencing any power loss so I kept an ear out and we kept riding
Our next stop was at the Cheddar Cheese Museum in Saint-Prime where a sweet young man took us on a tour
He showed us the old-fashioned way cheddar cheese was made and then we got to tour the museum portion of the factory 4 generations of the family Perron have made cheddar cheese here
The museum has over 650 artifacts that involve the familyrsquos history in cheese making including the stamps and other machinery used in exporting the cheese
The Cheddar Cheese Museum offers interactive displays and hosts several workshops on the art of making cheddar Upstairs you can view the family home of the Perronrsquos and see all of the period specific furnishings
Along with guided tours you can also sample the various types of cheddar cheese which we did and oh my I have never tasted cheddar that was so smooth and rich
After thanking our young guide for the fabulous tour we headed off
We stopped at Tim Hortonrsquos for a coffee and sitting out on the curb in front of my bike I could see the leak was getting worse I was very concerned and asked if there was a shop nearby where I could at least check the oil level in my primary
Rejean talked to one of the local riders Denis AKA Tarte au Sucre (Sweet Pie) and he took us to Carl Tremblayrsquos shop Carl is a mechanic that many here swear by His rates are far cheaper than the dealerships and every rider in the region says hersquos a guru He took the primary apart and sure
enough discovered that the compensating sprocket was dead and the stator was leaking With parts ordered and Rejeanrsquos wife going to the Harley shop to pick them up Francine Lynne Rejean and Denis rode me to my hotel the Motel Chutes des Pegraveres in Dolbeau-Mistassini My gear and luggage was distributed over three of the four bikes
By the time we got in it was dark and everyone had to head home I enjoyed a wonderful steak for supper and then headed off to my beautiful room and after a boiling hot pounding shower I climbed into the queen-sized bed and with the sound of the falls lulling me to sleep
And thatrsquos where I will leave you until next weekhellipBelt Drive Betty

1 - Yoursquoll Become a Better DriverTherersquos no doubt that riding a motorcycle has its
benefits especially when it comes to driving a car Riding a motorcycle teaches you to look out for people who are trying to kill you yoursquoll see hazards sooner and yoursquoll end up with Ninja-like machine control So when it comes to driving yoursquoll put all that to work and be a cut above the rest Hopefully
2 - Everyone Wants To Talk To YouIt really doesnrsquot matter what kind of motorcycle
you ride yoursquoll find middle-aged men stare at you and your bike with a dreamy lust before giving you an unwanted compliment Chances are theyrsquoll have no idea what the bike is either
Choose a classic or even worse a modern classic and yoursquoll become a magnet for old men who have the knack of being able to have a conversation with you without you needing to add any input Yoursquoll reach for your helmet on more than one occasion but not be able to put in on and leave because theyrsquoll ask you a question when you try Yoursquoll be subjected to questions about your
bike that you donrsquot know the answer to or even care about
The conversation will go something like this Is that a Triumph I had a Triumph once (followed by 10 minutes of ldquoback in my day rdquo)
3 - When You Say Yoursquore A Biker This Is The First Image That
Comes To Peoplehellip
5 Things They Never Told You About Becoming A Bikerby Robert Whaley NW Ontario Motorcycling
You could be a nice guy you could have something that resembles a career you could do the occasional BBQ it doesnrsquot matter When you mention to anyone at a party that yoursquove got a motorcycle a picture of this guy will pop into their head Then as you explain that you donrsquot ride a cruiser and yoursquove got a sportsbike theyrsquoll just think yoursquore speaking Greek and will reevaluate you as some sort of nut job who tries to kill himself on the highways Itrsquos a no-win
4 - Bees and Other Flying Things Will Start To Scare You
Anything flying will scare you When yoursquore sitting around at a family BBQ and everyone starts going mental the moment a bee or a wasp arrives on the scene you sit there perfectly calm and wonder what all the fuss is about
However - when yoursquore on a bike itrsquos a different story There you are riding along on a nice sunny day with your visor up enjoying the countryside and the winding road in front of you
Then you spot it 50 metres away a large insect looks like its stopped going about its daily business and itrsquos homing in at you instead Before you can do anything about it it goes THHHHHWAP right on your cheek Close but luckily it didnrsquot get you in the eye Then you panic the little bastardrsquos still in your helmet You insert a clumsy leather-clad finger and try and flick whatever it is away but probably end up pissing it off even further Then you crank on the brakes and perform the worldrsquos fastest lid removal followed by a little bit of a flappy-armed dance
5 - You Canrsquot Figure Out Who To Wave ToWhen you get a motorcycle you become part of a
club Itrsquos a club no biker really talks about but yoursquore in it now and yoursquore not allowed to leave Ever When you first pass your test yoursquoll wave at anyone and everyone If yoursquore heading down a road and a dog looks at you the right way yoursquoll probably wave at him too
Unfortunately this will change There are no set rules as to how it will change but yoursquoll end up developing your own code Me I wave at everyone dogs too and donrsquot give a second thought to the riders that donrsquot wave back But thatrsquos just me Yoursquoll have to work out your own code
Breaking is one of the most important things that you will learn to do on a motorcycle When we first learn to ride we are taught techniques to protect ourselves from crashing such as breaking shifting and countersteering But generally the most effective way to avoid an accident is through proper use of the brakes
The rear brake in particular is probably one of the least understood controls on a motorcycle Many riders donrsquot use the rear brake at all claiming that it doesnrsquot actually aid in slowing down or stopping the bike and say that it locks up the rear tire when trying to use it In fact most experts agree that a balanced use of both the front and rear brake is the most effective way of slowing or stopping a motorcycle
The rear brake also plays a huge role in adding stability to the bike when maneuvering
Because of the weight distribution on a motorcycle the braking balance of stopping power between the front and rear is 70 on the front and 30 on the rear This should tell you that if you donrsquot use the rear brake at all you are loosing 30 of the potential stopping power on your bike This could become a critical factor if you find yourself in trouble and have to try
and avoid an accident
Why does the rear brake lock up Well once again it has to do with weight distribution When you find yourself in a braking situation and start applying the brakes the geometry of the bike changes (due partly to the suspension) and much of the total weight (bike + rider) is transferred to the front This allows the rider to apply much more front brake than rear brake (the 7030 ratio)
Learning the finer points of your bikersquos braking performance is the key to keeping your bike in control It is a good idea to explore those limits in a safe environment
Practice repeated stops in an abandoned parking lot and yoursquoll start to get a feel for the amount of
effort that triggers tire slippage or rear tire lock-up
Try stopping with your front brake only then rear only and then a combination of both Once you become more familiar with your bikersquos brakes the sensations of weight transfer will start to feel more apparent and familiar That way yoursquoll be much more aware of the limits of your bike and yoursquoll be much better prepared in stopping

CAV To Hold AGM During ATLANTICADE (Summerside PE)
ndash The relationship started off by accident back in 2007 in
Moncton during the inaugural Atlanticade eventldquoI saw these guys who were hanging around
together with CAV crests on their vests and didnrsquot really know who they wererdquo says Dale Hicks festival founder and chairman Hicks began to connect the dots on the final day when the closing parade ended at the local veteranrsquos health care center and the CAV riders were very engaged with the vets ldquoSo I starting asking ndash who are these guys and what does CAV stand forrdquo
That was over seven years ago and now the relationship between Atlanticade and the Canadian Army Veterans is as strong a bond as you will find anywhere in the world of motorcycle events
ldquoOnce we became aware of who the CAV group was and what they represented I said well this group reflects the best of what it means to be Canadian so we certainly wanted to build a relationship with themrdquo recalls Hicks
Since then CAV has played a significant role in some form or fashion at each Atlanticade event The festival now has a
ldquoSupport the Troopsrdquo activity incorporated into the schedule each year where CAV plays a lead role In addition CAV will also be found leading parades such as the Confederation Bridge Cruise and the Parade of Iron Horses
In fact in 2011 Hicks was surprised and honored to be presented with an
honorary membership into the CAV organization at the closing awards breakfast at the Algonquin Hotel in St Andrews
ldquoYeah they caught me off guard with that and I certainly was humbled and honored by to be presented the crest by Trapperrdquo says Hicks ldquoI donrsquot feel worthy of wearing the crest but I do sport it proudly at certain times during Atlanticaderdquo
The unique bond between the two organizations continues for the upcoming 8th annual festival being held in Summerside PEI from June 27th to

(Atlanticade chairman Dale Hicks had just presented Trapper Cane with the annual ldquoExperienced Rider Awardrdquo
when Cane turned the tables by presenting Hicks with his honorary CAV membership during the 2011 event)
July 1st Recenty CAV founder Paul (Trapper) Cane announced the grouprsquos annual general meeting will take place in Summerside in conjunction with Atlanticade
ldquoAtlanticade brings great energy to all riders and our CAV members certainly appreciate the extra efforts put forth by Dalersquos team to give us some profile at the eventrdquo says Cane ldquoNo doubt it has been a great relationship between the two organizations and we hope it continues well into the futurerdquo
For his part Hicks says that Atlanticade is very proud to be able to host the CAV ndash AGM as part of the 2014 festival ldquoWe always have a good turnout of CAV members at our event but this will mean an additional boost in participants from across the country We hope we can make it a little special for them and something they will remember years down the roadrdquo

and take a step up Pretty soon everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted offAnd the moral ishellip Life is going to shovel dirt on you all kinds of dirt The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up Each of our troubles is a steppingstone We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping never giving up Shake it off and take a step up

As we see in the conflicts that are brewing around this world of ours the power of the people to affect change is powerful
A small group of committed individuals can accomplish much
They can topple governments or back them up against a wall
The on highway motorcycle community in Canada is rapidly approaching 1 million registered motorcycles
Every weekend you will see thousands of us gathered at various events across our respective provinces and territories always riding and working for charities that mean something to us that hit
home for usVery seldom however do you see this community
rally around itself and its own issues outside of riders we lovecare about needing help
As we get prepared for the 2014 riding season we as riders are going to face a variety of issues Some will affect all of us other issues will only affect certain riders
Insurance is an issue that affects us all as are the condition of the highways in this country So is distracted driving
As a rider who has ridden across this great land of ours I can tell you road maintenance is also an issue in the majority of regions
Some of us will experience police harassment others will ride uninterrupted
Some of us will experience headaches in communities with Motorcycle Only Noise Bylaws others will never be detained or bothered
Some of us will have great experiences at dealerships and others not so much
Some of us will experience discrimination and be turned away from establishments because of how we dress and what we ride others will experience none of that
This summer when you experience issues do something about it
Remember the POWER OF THE PEOPLEDocument it Photos videos and written
accounts of the situations you encounterThen if you live in a provinceterritory with a
Riders Rights Organization like BCCOM ABATE BRO Coalition of Manitoba Motorcycle Groups
RAGE or the newly formed Atlantic Motorcycle Coalition get that information into them so that they have something concrete to work with
They canrsquot help you or anyone else unless YOU give them something to work with
If you are in a province where there is no collective to represent your voice like in Alberta NWT YT - the only three regions without a provincialterritorial lobbying voice then yoursquoll really want to document things well especially if it involves court and lawyers If it is about roadways and other concerns you can at least present your MLA with the information
Every rider who experiences something of a discomforting nature should stand up and say something do something so that the others who come after you might not have to experience the same thing
If you arenrsquot a member of your local riders rights coalition consider becoming one
Our voice counts be it as an individual taxpayer or in a collective with many voices united but they only count when the persons we are discussing our
situation with can actually do something about itWhining and not taking the right actions do
nothing to alleviate problems - so this summer get a camera for your motorcycle or helmet have a note pad and a pen in a tool pouch or jacket pocket and remember the information you take down and share with the right people will do some good if not today somewhere down the road
Thatrsquos whatrsquos on my mind today what are your thoughts on the topic of the Power of the People
Have a great day and if you are one of the lucky ones who is riding today please remember to ride like everyone around you is blind and cannot see you
Until next week I am your editor Belt Drive Betty

Art amp The Motorcycle My Name Milton BeginMake Harley DavidsonYear 1993Title ldquoFresh Paint n Old LeatherrdquoArtist Jeremy Ferguson
The tragedy of the space shuttle Challenger is what gave me the idea of the paint scheme I knew I wanted to keep the blue color on the bike After all I as well as the people who know me have always referred to the bike as Olrsquo Blue Flames and skulls have been well overdone so it came to me scorched paint and steel Must have been what the shuttle was going thru for that split second in the early stage of re-entry
The bike was shipped out of Milwaukee in 1993 I rode it to Milwaukee in 2003 for the 100th Anniversary Ride Home Celebration for Harley Davidson Plans were made to ride it home again in 2013 for the 110th Anniversary Fresh paint was in order Hence the name Fresh Paint n Old Leather I have kept and still ride with the same leather for all too many years Although you canrsquot see many of the details in the picture Jeremy scratched in the dates after it was painted onto the bottom of the front fender It looks awesome because Jeremy is a talented individual
If I am able I will ride home again in 2023 The bike will undoubtedly make it

aimless direction with your eyes closed but your hands refuse to relinquish their grips
There is a time when the mind gleefully spins events amp memories into painful brutal tellings amp the tears dry upon your cheeks as fast as the wind can touch them leaving no trace
This is the time when intelligent rationale simply fails amp pure raw emotion takes over

I am going to create a land called Canada It will be a land of outstanding natural beauty It shall have tall majestic mountains full of mountain goats and eagles beautiful sparkling lakes bountiful with bass and trout forests full of elk and moose high cliffs over-looking sandy beaches with an abundance of sea life and rivers stocked with salmon
God continued
I shall make the land rich in resources so as to make the inhabitants prosper I shall call these inhabitants Canadians and they shall be known as the most friendly people on the earth
But Lord asked Gabriel dont you think you are being too generous to these Canadians
Not really replied GodJust wait and see the winters I am going to give

A Fair ExchangeA redneck family from the hills was visiting the city
and they were in a mall for the first time in their life The father and son were strolling around while the wife shopped
They were amazed by almost everything they saw but especially by two shiny Silver walls that could

move apart and then slide back together again The boy asked Paw Whats at The father (never having seen an elevator) responded Son I dunno I aint never seen anything like that in my entire life I aint got no idear what it is
While the boy and his father were watching with amazement a fat old lady in a wheel chair rolled up to the moving walls and pressed a button The walls opened and the lady rolled between them into a small room The walls closed and the boy and his father watched the small circular numbers above the walls light up sequentially They continued to watch until it reached the last number and then the numbers began to light in the reverse order Then the walls opened up again and a gorgeous voluptuous 24-year-old blonde woman stepped out The father not taking his eyes off the young woman said quietly to his son
Boy go git yo Momma
The Touch of a healerAn Irishman in a wheelchair entered a restaurant
one afternoon and asked the waitress for a cup of coffee The Irishman looked across the restaurant and asked Is that Jesus sitting over there The waitress nodded yes so the Irishman told her to give Jesus a cup of coffee on him
The next patron to come in was an Englishman with a hunched back He shuffled over to a booth painfully sat down and asked for a cup of hot tea He also glanced across the restaurant and asked Is that Jesus over there The waitress nodded so the Englishman said to give Jesus a cup of hot tea my treat
The third patron to come into the restaurant was a Redneck on crutches He hobbled over to a booth sat down and hollered Hey there sweet thang Hows about gettin me a cold glass of Coke He too looked across the restaurant and asked Is that
Gods boy over there The waitress once again nodded that it was so the Redneck said to give Jesus a cold glass of Coke on my bill
As Jesus got up to leave he passed by the Irishman touched him and said For your kindness you are healed The Irishman felt the strength come back to his legs got up and danced a jig right out the door
Jesus also passed by the Englishman touched him and said For your kindness you are healed The Englishman felt his back straightening up and he raised his hands praised the Lord and did a series of back flips out the door
Then Jesus walked up to the Redneck
The Redneck jumped up and yelled ldquoDonrsquot touch me Irsquom drawinrsquo disabilityrdquo
The most important thing for all motorcycle riders and vehicle drivers in Saskatchewan right now is standing-up and getting YOUR voice heardhellipand COUNTED
When it comes to the Saskatchewan Rate Review process each and every voice matters no matter how big no matter how small Every voice every opinion matters Use this process to make YOUR VOICE COUNT BEFORE April 28 2014 After thathellipit is too late
RAGE is here to continue what we started so successfully last year To continue to lobby SGI and the Provincial Government to put real and long-term public policy forward to end the continuous cycle of rate increases being implemented to
cover up escalating high-risk driving behaviour in Saskatchewan In a nutshell to stop just raising rates and not much else
If you parked a vehicle on the street downtown (any type of vehicle) and just left it there till it caused an accident How long would it take for that vehicle to be at-fault for causing one That is if it wasnrsquot stolen or vandalized first
Now if a person comes along gets into that same vehicle and drives off looking at their cellphone and texting How long
If it is a motorcycle and a person who just wrote their learners with zero experience (other than maybe a ride around the block) comes along gets on and rides off into traffic How long
The great thing about what we are putting forward is that it addresses ALL driver behavior Not vehicles but those who drive them ALL of us
You as a motorcycle and vehicle owner need to be speaking up this yearhellipin Saskatchewan you are more than likely both Making sure YOUR voice
Stand Up and Be Counted

To book an appointment or find out more about the BodyTalk System call
gets counted To stop the endless cycle of just raising rates with not much else
This will allow RAGE to have a strong voice when it comes to the Personal Injury Insurance Review happening later this year Remember YOUR ldquoa-la-carterdquo recommendation has been approved by government
To continue to fight for mandatory safety training (Yes RAGE has always wanted this to be mandatory)
To continue to work with SGI on the things they are already implementing as a result of RAGE and ALL YOUR VOICES
YOUR VOICEno matter what your messageMATTERS to RAGE
Without all YOUR voicesindividuallyeach counting as 1UNITED into manyhellipSGI will simply not listen
Since the 1980rsquos and up until last yearvery few voices were raised to be counted during the Rate Review Process SGI pretty much did what they wantedthen last year BAM
For years SGI shut out anyone any group many efforts by the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel and the Provincial Government for any changeswhyNO UNITED VOICES Yes they brought in the 3 year MGDL in 2011 However they didnrsquot work with the groups involved past initial consultations SGI came to their own conclusions (no one could agree) and implemented what they
wanted SGI then stopped returning calls and continued to increase rates in 2012 and 2013
Even the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel has had difficulty getting the information they need from SGI to make informed decisions
Is it little wonder that the Minister Responsible for SGI felt she didnrsquot have to listen to the ldquosuggestionrdquo of the Rate Review Panel After all they never really had in previous years
Hammering us with another 15 increase could have been meant to knock us off our motorcycles and give up After all that hard workhellipand yet another increase Irsquom betting they expected us to cry in our coffee about how unfair they are about how they just do want they want anyway how we should just privatize and then do nothing more than that
Now that might have workedhellipin the past That is until last year the first time since the 1980rsquos when RAGE worked hard to organize YOUR voices YOU each used your own voices You each counted Then RAGE presented a proposal that took EACH ONE and MADE THEM COUNT as a UNITED VOICE
Then we did the unthinkablehellipWE STAYED We werenrsquot just there for 3 meetings WE
were 100 ALL INhellipFOR YOU To make sure YOUR VOICES continued to count RAGE continued to work with SGI on the wording for the recommendations put forward providing information for awareness sharing the ldquoCount Your Motorcyclerdquo game and much more
When it comes right down to it YOUR opinions and comments should matter to YOU IT does not matter if you donrsquot agree with the overall message of RAGE or your local riding club group
association coffee groupwhatever WHAT MATTERSis YOU getting YOUR VOICE
heard YOU canrsquot leave it up to everyone else You canrsquot assume anyone else is going to do this for YOU WE ALL MUST FIGHT
The worst thing you can do is nothing THAT is even worse than complaining and doing nothing Complaincomplain to your hearts contentto the Sask Rate Review Panel
THEN go have coffeeIf you canrsquot make it to the meeting in person
please at the very least contact the Rate Review Panel with YOUR voice
Each of our own voices count as 1 in this processjust as the voice of RAGE only counts as 1 We know SGI only listens when there are MANY following a UNITED theme
YOU can get YOUR voice heardand COUNTEDby submitting your comments regarding the application by April 28 2014 using any of the following methods

After a magnificent breakfast I started loading up my bike and it wasnrsquot long before the gang arrived to come take me sightseeing
Our first stop of the day after topping up our tanks was at the look out of Lac Saint Jean
From here you truly get a sense of how immense this lake is
We took some time to admire the view and chat about the plans for the rest of the day
Our next stop was to be the Camp Musical a purely French speaking musical camp for students to come and immerse themselves in the culture of the region and the music that is their passion
The camp has numerous housing units and the most incredible concert hall The Raymond Tremblay concert hall has 320 seats 2 piano rooms a bistro terrace and exhibition hall The Egyptian goddess Hathor is symbolized here and she represents happiness joy and music
The acoustics even when you are just speaking
well stunning would be the word to describe the sound quality
Everything about this 40-year-old institute screams creativity We went up to the gazebo on the observation deck and took in the panorama Breathtakingly beautiful you can see why this region inspires music and lyrics
After our tour of the camp was done we headed out towards the Village Historique Val-Jalbert Canadarsquos BEST preserved Ghost Town I couldnrsquot wait
The ride from the Camp Musical to Val-Jalbert which is just northwest of Chambord took about 30 minutes It was a wee bit overcast but the temperature was perfect for riding
When we arrived at Val-Jalbert we headed into the gorgeous visitor information centre and were assigned a tour guide named Michelle Pelletier Michelle turned out to be an amazing tour guide
She spoke in both French and English easily and made all of us feel so welcome

We got in an electric cart and began our tour with Michelle telling us about the history of this town and why it is such a significant tourism and historical attraction
You see this town was the dream of one man Damase Jalbert He was the founder of the Ouiatchouan Pulp Company that built a pulp mill
here The town he founded for his employees started out as Saint-Georges-de-Ouiatchouan named for the river and the falls that powered the mill The name was changed to Val-Jalbert in 1913 in honor of the man whose dream it was
Damase wanted to build the best company town and provide his employees with a rarified quality of living
He died suddenly three years after opening the mill The mill faced a cash shortage and was bought by American shareholders in 1904 In 1909 the Chicoutimi Pulp Company bought it
From 1909 to 1922 the village flourished and was the envy of many surrounding communities
The company town offered employees electricity and running water in their homes a good 25 years before anyone else in Quebec had power
In 1923 the demand for mechanical pulp began to fall and by 1924 most of the workers had been laid off
On August 13th 1927 all operations ceased and over the next few years the village became abandoned
In 1942 the government took the property back for non-payment of taxes and in 1970 Val-Jalbert had new life breathed into it as a tourist attraction In recent years the government of Quebec has spent 19+ million dollars to upgrade and improve the visitors information centre put in a glass observation deck and a whole host of other improvements
Val-Jalbert must have been the most amazing town in the region in its day because this place is utterly amazing today The Quebec government has spent a lot of money and time restoring this
place to preserve the history and they have done an incredible job
Our first stop on the tour was the convent school where we met ldquoMother Superiorrdquo who took us through the school and answered our questions She was stern but I think there was a glint of mischief in her eyes as she ldquodisciplinedrdquo us on proper etiquette
There was the most amazing art display in
one room and in another the historical timeline of the residents of Val-Jalbert to take in The antiques and furnishings truly made you feel you were stuck in a time warp
After touring the school we headed towards the post office The ldquopostmistressrdquo was this chatty little gal that had us peeing ourselves we were laughing so hard It was pretty cool to see the old stamps and the various bits of equipment of the day
We walked up the street to take a tour of the restored duplexes that line the main street You have to see these places to truly appreciate them Imagine 1910 and you can flip a switch and have lights turn a tap and have water flush a toilet and not have to walk to the outhouse
These company houses were so well built and the people who lived here were fiercely loyal to the company that treated them so well
From the duplexes we went to the general store where we ran into the ldquoMayorrdquo the only person in town to have a car The general store offers up everything a visitor could need plus acts as a museum with lots of interesting period pieces on display
Michelle had gotten keys to show us the duplexes that have been upgraded and make up the 4 star accommodations offered here
We walked across the street and were taken to view to the most amazing hotel rooms
Rustic and yet modern these rooms are spacious well appointed and every one of them has unique little shadow boxes filled with antiques
All of the modern appliances Internet boxes and TV are all hidden in closets so that they are not visible It makes for a very appealing deacutecor
Although the rooms appear to only have one bed in the matter of a few moments Michelle had the
couch taken apart and the bed folded down out of the wall for a second bed
The bathrooms are absolute marvels with big tubs and glass showers
The parking for the hotel rooms is hidden behind a row of trees so that there is no real visual of anything modern on the face of things
From the hotel rooms we got back in the electric cart and headed towards the ldquoruinsrdquo Although many of the duplexes have been restored Michelle explained to us that the style of construction for the company houses had been changed and that
the newer houses had collapsed on themselves Some of the buildings are slated for restoration but many are too far-gone The streets they line are preserved so that one can walk by the ruins and get a feel for how large this town really was and how well laid out it was
Our next stop was the Mill Impressive is a good word to describe this place We had our lunch in the Old Mill Restaurant The food served here complimented the
atmosphere ndash IMPECCABLEThe chef Carl Murray has a great reputation that
he totally lives up toThe service
the food the atmosphere and the company were all top drawer
After our fabulous meal it was time to head to the tram and go experience the waterfalls
The ride up to the top gives you the most magnificent view of the region The Ouiatchouan Falls are some 65 feet higher than the Niagara Falls
and the power of them is palpable The rushing water is almost deafening as you walk out on to the glass observation deck
From the falls we walked down to the mill again and took in the most impressive interactive show I have ever experienced In the underbelly of the once abandoned mill amongst all of the monster gearing and shafts the lights go dim you feel the mist in the air and all of a sudden the walls become alive with characters from the original town and they take you through the historical timeline of the village and its people
It is absolutely captivating you become totally involved in the lives and the hardship of the villagers
The show signaled the end of our tour and Michelle took us back to the visitor information centre and sent us all off with gifts of blueberry jam and blueberry tea to remember our visit by
My bike had been acting up off and on and I had been keeping an eye out on a leak coming from the front of the engine The noise from the shifter region was becoming louder but I wasnrsquot experiencing any power loss so I kept an ear out and we kept riding
Our next stop was at the Cheddar Cheese Museum in Saint-Prime where a sweet young man took us on a tour
He showed us the old-fashioned way cheddar cheese was made and then we got to tour the museum portion of the factory 4 generations of the family Perron have made cheddar cheese here
The museum has over 650 artifacts that involve the familyrsquos history in cheese making including the stamps and other machinery used in exporting the cheese
The Cheddar Cheese Museum offers interactive displays and hosts several workshops on the art of making cheddar Upstairs you can view the family home of the Perronrsquos and see all of the period specific furnishings
Along with guided tours you can also sample the various types of cheddar cheese which we did and oh my I have never tasted cheddar that was so smooth and rich
After thanking our young guide for the fabulous tour we headed off
We stopped at Tim Hortonrsquos for a coffee and sitting out on the curb in front of my bike I could see the leak was getting worse I was very concerned and asked if there was a shop nearby where I could at least check the oil level in my primary
Rejean talked to one of the local riders Denis AKA Tarte au Sucre (Sweet Pie) and he took us to Carl Tremblayrsquos shop Carl is a mechanic that many here swear by His rates are far cheaper than the dealerships and every rider in the region says hersquos a guru He took the primary apart and sure
enough discovered that the compensating sprocket was dead and the stator was leaking With parts ordered and Rejeanrsquos wife going to the Harley shop to pick them up Francine Lynne Rejean and Denis rode me to my hotel the Motel Chutes des Pegraveres in Dolbeau-Mistassini My gear and luggage was distributed over three of the four bikes
By the time we got in it was dark and everyone had to head home I enjoyed a wonderful steak for supper and then headed off to my beautiful room and after a boiling hot pounding shower I climbed into the queen-sized bed and with the sound of the falls lulling me to sleep
And thatrsquos where I will leave you until next weekhellipBelt Drive Betty

1 - Yoursquoll Become a Better DriverTherersquos no doubt that riding a motorcycle has its
benefits especially when it comes to driving a car Riding a motorcycle teaches you to look out for people who are trying to kill you yoursquoll see hazards sooner and yoursquoll end up with Ninja-like machine control So when it comes to driving yoursquoll put all that to work and be a cut above the rest Hopefully
2 - Everyone Wants To Talk To YouIt really doesnrsquot matter what kind of motorcycle
you ride yoursquoll find middle-aged men stare at you and your bike with a dreamy lust before giving you an unwanted compliment Chances are theyrsquoll have no idea what the bike is either
Choose a classic or even worse a modern classic and yoursquoll become a magnet for old men who have the knack of being able to have a conversation with you without you needing to add any input Yoursquoll reach for your helmet on more than one occasion but not be able to put in on and leave because theyrsquoll ask you a question when you try Yoursquoll be subjected to questions about your
bike that you donrsquot know the answer to or even care about
The conversation will go something like this Is that a Triumph I had a Triumph once (followed by 10 minutes of ldquoback in my day rdquo)
3 - When You Say Yoursquore A Biker This Is The First Image That
Comes To Peoplehellip
5 Things They Never Told You About Becoming A Bikerby Robert Whaley NW Ontario Motorcycling
You could be a nice guy you could have something that resembles a career you could do the occasional BBQ it doesnrsquot matter When you mention to anyone at a party that yoursquove got a motorcycle a picture of this guy will pop into their head Then as you explain that you donrsquot ride a cruiser and yoursquove got a sportsbike theyrsquoll just think yoursquore speaking Greek and will reevaluate you as some sort of nut job who tries to kill himself on the highways Itrsquos a no-win
4 - Bees and Other Flying Things Will Start To Scare You
Anything flying will scare you When yoursquore sitting around at a family BBQ and everyone starts going mental the moment a bee or a wasp arrives on the scene you sit there perfectly calm and wonder what all the fuss is about
However - when yoursquore on a bike itrsquos a different story There you are riding along on a nice sunny day with your visor up enjoying the countryside and the winding road in front of you
Then you spot it 50 metres away a large insect looks like its stopped going about its daily business and itrsquos homing in at you instead Before you can do anything about it it goes THHHHHWAP right on your cheek Close but luckily it didnrsquot get you in the eye Then you panic the little bastardrsquos still in your helmet You insert a clumsy leather-clad finger and try and flick whatever it is away but probably end up pissing it off even further Then you crank on the brakes and perform the worldrsquos fastest lid removal followed by a little bit of a flappy-armed dance
5 - You Canrsquot Figure Out Who To Wave ToWhen you get a motorcycle you become part of a
club Itrsquos a club no biker really talks about but yoursquore in it now and yoursquore not allowed to leave Ever When you first pass your test yoursquoll wave at anyone and everyone If yoursquore heading down a road and a dog looks at you the right way yoursquoll probably wave at him too
Unfortunately this will change There are no set rules as to how it will change but yoursquoll end up developing your own code Me I wave at everyone dogs too and donrsquot give a second thought to the riders that donrsquot wave back But thatrsquos just me Yoursquoll have to work out your own code
Breaking is one of the most important things that you will learn to do on a motorcycle When we first learn to ride we are taught techniques to protect ourselves from crashing such as breaking shifting and countersteering But generally the most effective way to avoid an accident is through proper use of the brakes
The rear brake in particular is probably one of the least understood controls on a motorcycle Many riders donrsquot use the rear brake at all claiming that it doesnrsquot actually aid in slowing down or stopping the bike and say that it locks up the rear tire when trying to use it In fact most experts agree that a balanced use of both the front and rear brake is the most effective way of slowing or stopping a motorcycle
The rear brake also plays a huge role in adding stability to the bike when maneuvering
Because of the weight distribution on a motorcycle the braking balance of stopping power between the front and rear is 70 on the front and 30 on the rear This should tell you that if you donrsquot use the rear brake at all you are loosing 30 of the potential stopping power on your bike This could become a critical factor if you find yourself in trouble and have to try
and avoid an accident
Why does the rear brake lock up Well once again it has to do with weight distribution When you find yourself in a braking situation and start applying the brakes the geometry of the bike changes (due partly to the suspension) and much of the total weight (bike + rider) is transferred to the front This allows the rider to apply much more front brake than rear brake (the 7030 ratio)
Learning the finer points of your bikersquos braking performance is the key to keeping your bike in control It is a good idea to explore those limits in a safe environment
Practice repeated stops in an abandoned parking lot and yoursquoll start to get a feel for the amount of
effort that triggers tire slippage or rear tire lock-up
Try stopping with your front brake only then rear only and then a combination of both Once you become more familiar with your bikersquos brakes the sensations of weight transfer will start to feel more apparent and familiar That way yoursquoll be much more aware of the limits of your bike and yoursquoll be much better prepared in stopping

CAV To Hold AGM During ATLANTICADE (Summerside PE)
ndash The relationship started off by accident back in 2007 in
Moncton during the inaugural Atlanticade eventldquoI saw these guys who were hanging around
together with CAV crests on their vests and didnrsquot really know who they wererdquo says Dale Hicks festival founder and chairman Hicks began to connect the dots on the final day when the closing parade ended at the local veteranrsquos health care center and the CAV riders were very engaged with the vets ldquoSo I starting asking ndash who are these guys and what does CAV stand forrdquo
That was over seven years ago and now the relationship between Atlanticade and the Canadian Army Veterans is as strong a bond as you will find anywhere in the world of motorcycle events
ldquoOnce we became aware of who the CAV group was and what they represented I said well this group reflects the best of what it means to be Canadian so we certainly wanted to build a relationship with themrdquo recalls Hicks
Since then CAV has played a significant role in some form or fashion at each Atlanticade event The festival now has a
ldquoSupport the Troopsrdquo activity incorporated into the schedule each year where CAV plays a lead role In addition CAV will also be found leading parades such as the Confederation Bridge Cruise and the Parade of Iron Horses
In fact in 2011 Hicks was surprised and honored to be presented with an
honorary membership into the CAV organization at the closing awards breakfast at the Algonquin Hotel in St Andrews
ldquoYeah they caught me off guard with that and I certainly was humbled and honored by to be presented the crest by Trapperrdquo says Hicks ldquoI donrsquot feel worthy of wearing the crest but I do sport it proudly at certain times during Atlanticaderdquo
The unique bond between the two organizations continues for the upcoming 8th annual festival being held in Summerside PEI from June 27th to

(Atlanticade chairman Dale Hicks had just presented Trapper Cane with the annual ldquoExperienced Rider Awardrdquo
when Cane turned the tables by presenting Hicks with his honorary CAV membership during the 2011 event)
July 1st Recenty CAV founder Paul (Trapper) Cane announced the grouprsquos annual general meeting will take place in Summerside in conjunction with Atlanticade
ldquoAtlanticade brings great energy to all riders and our CAV members certainly appreciate the extra efforts put forth by Dalersquos team to give us some profile at the eventrdquo says Cane ldquoNo doubt it has been a great relationship between the two organizations and we hope it continues well into the futurerdquo
For his part Hicks says that Atlanticade is very proud to be able to host the CAV ndash AGM as part of the 2014 festival ldquoWe always have a good turnout of CAV members at our event but this will mean an additional boost in participants from across the country We hope we can make it a little special for them and something they will remember years down the roadrdquo

and take a step up Pretty soon everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted offAnd the moral ishellip Life is going to shovel dirt on you all kinds of dirt The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up Each of our troubles is a steppingstone We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping never giving up Shake it off and take a step up

As we see in the conflicts that are brewing around this world of ours the power of the people to affect change is powerful
A small group of committed individuals can accomplish much
They can topple governments or back them up against a wall
The on highway motorcycle community in Canada is rapidly approaching 1 million registered motorcycles
Every weekend you will see thousands of us gathered at various events across our respective provinces and territories always riding and working for charities that mean something to us that hit
home for usVery seldom however do you see this community
rally around itself and its own issues outside of riders we lovecare about needing help
As we get prepared for the 2014 riding season we as riders are going to face a variety of issues Some will affect all of us other issues will only affect certain riders
Insurance is an issue that affects us all as are the condition of the highways in this country So is distracted driving
As a rider who has ridden across this great land of ours I can tell you road maintenance is also an issue in the majority of regions
Some of us will experience police harassment others will ride uninterrupted
Some of us will experience headaches in communities with Motorcycle Only Noise Bylaws others will never be detained or bothered
Some of us will have great experiences at dealerships and others not so much
Some of us will experience discrimination and be turned away from establishments because of how we dress and what we ride others will experience none of that
This summer when you experience issues do something about it
Remember the POWER OF THE PEOPLEDocument it Photos videos and written
accounts of the situations you encounterThen if you live in a provinceterritory with a
Riders Rights Organization like BCCOM ABATE BRO Coalition of Manitoba Motorcycle Groups
RAGE or the newly formed Atlantic Motorcycle Coalition get that information into them so that they have something concrete to work with
They canrsquot help you or anyone else unless YOU give them something to work with
If you are in a province where there is no collective to represent your voice like in Alberta NWT YT - the only three regions without a provincialterritorial lobbying voice then yoursquoll really want to document things well especially if it involves court and lawyers If it is about roadways and other concerns you can at least present your MLA with the information
Every rider who experiences something of a discomforting nature should stand up and say something do something so that the others who come after you might not have to experience the same thing
If you arenrsquot a member of your local riders rights coalition consider becoming one
Our voice counts be it as an individual taxpayer or in a collective with many voices united but they only count when the persons we are discussing our
situation with can actually do something about itWhining and not taking the right actions do
nothing to alleviate problems - so this summer get a camera for your motorcycle or helmet have a note pad and a pen in a tool pouch or jacket pocket and remember the information you take down and share with the right people will do some good if not today somewhere down the road
Thatrsquos whatrsquos on my mind today what are your thoughts on the topic of the Power of the People
Have a great day and if you are one of the lucky ones who is riding today please remember to ride like everyone around you is blind and cannot see you
Until next week I am your editor Belt Drive Betty

Art amp The Motorcycle My Name Milton BeginMake Harley DavidsonYear 1993Title ldquoFresh Paint n Old LeatherrdquoArtist Jeremy Ferguson
The tragedy of the space shuttle Challenger is what gave me the idea of the paint scheme I knew I wanted to keep the blue color on the bike After all I as well as the people who know me have always referred to the bike as Olrsquo Blue Flames and skulls have been well overdone so it came to me scorched paint and steel Must have been what the shuttle was going thru for that split second in the early stage of re-entry
The bike was shipped out of Milwaukee in 1993 I rode it to Milwaukee in 2003 for the 100th Anniversary Ride Home Celebration for Harley Davidson Plans were made to ride it home again in 2013 for the 110th Anniversary Fresh paint was in order Hence the name Fresh Paint n Old Leather I have kept and still ride with the same leather for all too many years Although you canrsquot see many of the details in the picture Jeremy scratched in the dates after it was painted onto the bottom of the front fender It looks awesome because Jeremy is a talented individual
If I am able I will ride home again in 2023 The bike will undoubtedly make it

There is a time when the mind gleefully spins events amp memories into painful brutal tellings amp the tears dry upon your cheeks as fast as the wind can touch them leaving no trace
This is the time when intelligent rationale simply fails amp pure raw emotion takes over

On the sixth day God turned to Archangel Gabriel and said Today
I am going to create a land called Canada It will be a land of outstanding natural beauty It shall have tall majestic mountains full of mountain goats and eagles beautiful sparkling lakes bountiful with bass and trout forests full of elk and moose high cliffs over-looking sandy beaches with an abundance of sea life and rivers stocked with salmon
God continued
I shall make the land rich in resources so as to make the inhabitants prosper I shall call these inhabitants Canadians and they shall be known as the most friendly people on the earth
But Lord asked Gabriel dont you think you are being too generous to these Canadians
Not really replied GodJust wait and see the winters I am going to give

While the boy and his father were watching with amazement a fat old lady in a wheel chair rolled up to the moving walls and pressed a button The walls opened and the lady rolled between them into a small room The walls closed and the boy and his father watched the small circular numbers above the walls light up sequentially They continued to watch until it reached the last number and then the numbers began to light in the reverse order Then the walls opened up again and a gorgeous voluptuous 24-year-old blonde woman stepped out The father not taking his eyes off the young woman said quietly to his son

The Touch of a healerAn Irishman in a wheelchair entered a restaurant
one afternoon and asked the waitress for a cup of coffee The Irishman looked across the restaurant and asked Is that Jesus sitting over there The waitress nodded yes so the Irishman told her to give Jesus a cup of coffee on him
The next patron to come in was an Englishman with a hunched back He shuffled over to a booth painfully sat down and asked for a cup of hot tea He also glanced across the restaurant and asked Is that Jesus over there The waitress nodded so the Englishman said to give Jesus a cup of hot tea my treat
The third patron to come into the restaurant was a Redneck on crutches He hobbled over to a booth sat down and hollered Hey there sweet thang Hows about gettin me a cold glass of Coke He too looked across the restaurant and asked Is that
Gods boy over there The waitress once again nodded that it was so the Redneck said to give Jesus a cold glass of Coke on my bill
As Jesus got up to leave he passed by the Irishman touched him and said For your kindness you are healed The Irishman felt the strength come back to his legs got up and danced a jig right out the door
Jesus also passed by the Englishman touched him and said For your kindness you are healed The Englishman felt his back straightening up and he raised his hands praised the Lord and did a series of back flips out the door
Then Jesus walked up to the Redneck
The Redneck jumped up and yelled ldquoDonrsquot touch me Irsquom drawinrsquo disabilityrdquo
The most important thing for all motorcycle riders and vehicle drivers in Saskatchewan right now is standing-up and getting YOUR voice heardhellipand COUNTED
When it comes to the Saskatchewan Rate Review process each and every voice matters no matter how big no matter how small Every voice every opinion matters Use this process to make YOUR VOICE COUNT BEFORE April 28 2014 After thathellipit is too late
RAGE is here to continue what we started so successfully last year To continue to lobby SGI and the Provincial Government to put real and long-term public policy forward to end the continuous cycle of rate increases being implemented to
cover up escalating high-risk driving behaviour in Saskatchewan In a nutshell to stop just raising rates and not much else
If you parked a vehicle on the street downtown (any type of vehicle) and just left it there till it caused an accident How long would it take for that vehicle to be at-fault for causing one That is if it wasnrsquot stolen or vandalized first
Now if a person comes along gets into that same vehicle and drives off looking at their cellphone and texting How long
If it is a motorcycle and a person who just wrote their learners with zero experience (other than maybe a ride around the block) comes along gets on and rides off into traffic How long
The great thing about what we are putting forward is that it addresses ALL driver behavior Not vehicles but those who drive them ALL of us
You as a motorcycle and vehicle owner need to be speaking up this yearhellipin Saskatchewan you are more than likely both Making sure YOUR voice
Stand Up and Be Counted

RAGE Dare to Know
What your body needs to heal itself
The BodyTalk Systemwith Practitioner Bev Groot
To book an appointment or find out more about the BodyTalk System call
gets counted To stop the endless cycle of just raising rates with not much else
This will allow RAGE to have a strong voice when it comes to the Personal Injury Insurance Review happening later this year Remember YOUR ldquoa-la-carterdquo recommendation has been approved by government
To continue to fight for mandatory safety training (Yes RAGE has always wanted this to be mandatory)
To continue to work with SGI on the things they are already implementing as a result of RAGE and ALL YOUR VOICES
YOUR VOICEno matter what your messageMATTERS to RAGE
Without all YOUR voicesindividuallyeach counting as 1UNITED into manyhellipSGI will simply not listen
Since the 1980rsquos and up until last yearvery few voices were raised to be counted during the Rate Review Process SGI pretty much did what they wantedthen last year BAM
For years SGI shut out anyone any group many efforts by the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel and the Provincial Government for any changeswhyNO UNITED VOICES Yes they brought in the 3 year MGDL in 2011 However they didnrsquot work with the groups involved past initial consultations SGI came to their own conclusions (no one could agree) and implemented what they
wanted SGI then stopped returning calls and continued to increase rates in 2012 and 2013
Even the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel has had difficulty getting the information they need from SGI to make informed decisions
Is it little wonder that the Minister Responsible for SGI felt she didnrsquot have to listen to the ldquosuggestionrdquo of the Rate Review Panel After all they never really had in previous years
Hammering us with another 15 increase could have been meant to knock us off our motorcycles and give up After all that hard workhellipand yet another increase Irsquom betting they expected us to cry in our coffee about how unfair they are about how they just do want they want anyway how we should just privatize and then do nothing more than that
Now that might have workedhellipin the past That is until last year the first time since the 1980rsquos when RAGE worked hard to organize YOUR voices YOU each used your own voices You each counted Then RAGE presented a proposal that took EACH ONE and MADE THEM COUNT as a UNITED VOICE

After a magnificent breakfast I started loading up my bike and it wasnrsquot long before the gang arrived to come take me sightseeing
Our first stop of the day after topping up our tanks was at the look out of Lac Saint Jean
From here you truly get a sense of how immense this lake is
We took some time to admire the view and chat about the plans for the rest of the day
Our next stop was to be the Camp Musical a purely French speaking musical camp for students to come and immerse themselves in the culture of the region and the music that is their passion
The camp has numerous housing units and the most incredible concert hall The Raymond Tremblay concert hall has 320 seats 2 piano rooms a bistro terrace and exhibition hall The Egyptian goddess Hathor is symbolized here and she represents happiness joy and music
The acoustics even when you are just speaking
well stunning would be the word to describe the sound quality
Everything about this 40-year-old institute screams creativity We went up to the gazebo on the observation deck and took in the panorama Breathtakingly beautiful you can see why this region inspires music and lyrics
After our tour of the camp was done we headed out towards the Village Historique Val-Jalbert Canadarsquos BEST preserved Ghost Town I couldnrsquot wait
The ride from the Camp Musical to Val-Jalbert which is just northwest of Chambord took about 30 minutes It was a wee bit overcast but the temperature was perfect for riding
When we arrived at Val-Jalbert we headed into the gorgeous visitor information centre and were assigned a tour guide named Michelle Pelletier Michelle turned out to be an amazing tour guide
She spoke in both French and English easily and made all of us feel so welcome

Saturday May 31st 2014 830 am Rain date June 1st rain or shine
We got in an electric cart and began our tour with Michelle telling us about the history of this town and why it is such a significant tourism and historical attraction
You see this town was the dream of one man Damase Jalbert He was the founder of the Ouiatchouan Pulp Company that built a pulp mill
here The town he founded for his employees started out as Saint-Georges-de-Ouiatchouan named for the river and the falls that powered the mill The name was changed to Val-Jalbert in 1913 in honor of the man whose dream it was
Damase wanted to build the best company town and provide his employees with a rarified quality of living
He died suddenly three years after opening the mill The mill faced a cash shortage and was bought by American shareholders in 1904 In 1909 the Chicoutimi Pulp Company bought it
From 1909 to 1922 the village flourished and was the envy of many surrounding communities
The company town offered employees electricity and running water in their homes a good 25 years before anyone else in Quebec had power
In 1923 the demand for mechanical pulp began to fall and by 1924 most of the workers had been laid off
On August 13th 1927 all operations ceased and over the next few years the village became abandoned
In 1942 the government took the property back for non-payment of taxes and in 1970 Val-Jalbert had new life breathed into it as a tourist attraction In recent years the government of Quebec has spent 19+ million dollars to upgrade and improve the visitors information centre put in a glass observation deck and a whole host of other improvements
Val-Jalbert must have been the most amazing town in the region in its day because this place is utterly amazing today The Quebec government has spent a lot of money and time restoring this
place to preserve the history and they have done an incredible job
Our first stop on the tour was the convent school where we met ldquoMother Superiorrdquo who took us through the school and answered our questions She was stern but I think there was a glint of mischief in her eyes as she ldquodisciplinedrdquo us on proper etiquette
There was the most amazing art display in
one room and in another the historical timeline of the residents of Val-Jalbert to take in The antiques and furnishings truly made you feel you were stuck in a time warp
After touring the school we headed towards the post office The ldquopostmistressrdquo was this chatty little gal that had us peeing ourselves we were laughing so hard It was pretty cool to see the old stamps and the various bits of equipment of the day
We walked up the street to take a tour of the restored duplexes that line the main street You have to see these places to truly appreciate them Imagine 1910 and you can flip a switch and have lights turn a tap and have water flush a toilet and not have to walk to the outhouse
These company houses were so well built and the people who lived here were fiercely loyal to the company that treated them so well
From the duplexes we went to the general store where we ran into the ldquoMayorrdquo the only person in town to have a car The general store offers up everything a visitor could need plus acts as a museum with lots of interesting period pieces on display
Michelle had gotten keys to show us the duplexes that have been upgraded and make up the 4 star accommodations offered here
We walked across the street and were taken to view to the most amazing hotel rooms
Rustic and yet modern these rooms are spacious well appointed and every one of them has unique little shadow boxes filled with antiques
All of the modern appliances Internet boxes and TV are all hidden in closets so that they are not visible It makes for a very appealing deacutecor
Although the rooms appear to only have one bed in the matter of a few moments Michelle had the
couch taken apart and the bed folded down out of the wall for a second bed
The bathrooms are absolute marvels with big tubs and glass showers
The parking for the hotel rooms is hidden behind a row of trees so that there is no real visual of anything modern on the face of things
From the hotel rooms we got back in the electric cart and headed towards the ldquoruinsrdquo Although many of the duplexes have been restored Michelle explained to us that the style of construction for the company houses had been changed and that
the newer houses had collapsed on themselves Some of the buildings are slated for restoration but many are too far-gone The streets they line are preserved so that one can walk by the ruins and get a feel for how large this town really was and how well laid out it was
Our next stop was the Mill Impressive is a good word to describe this place We had our lunch in the Old Mill Restaurant The food served here complimented the
atmosphere ndash IMPECCABLEThe chef Carl Murray has a great reputation that
he totally lives up toThe service
the food the atmosphere and the company were all top drawer
After our fabulous meal it was time to head to the tram and go experience the waterfalls
The ride up to the top gives you the most magnificent view of the region The Ouiatchouan Falls are some 65 feet higher than the Niagara Falls
and the power of them is palpable The rushing water is almost deafening as you walk out on to the glass observation deck
From the falls we walked down to the mill again and took in the most impressive interactive show I have ever experienced In the underbelly of the once abandoned mill amongst all of the monster gearing and shafts the lights go dim you feel the mist in the air and all of a sudden the walls become alive with characters from the original town and they take you through the historical timeline of the village and its people
It is absolutely captivating you become totally involved in the lives and the hardship of the villagers
The show signaled the end of our tour and Michelle took us back to the visitor information centre and sent us all off with gifts of blueberry jam and blueberry tea to remember our visit by
My bike had been acting up off and on and I had been keeping an eye out on a leak coming from the front of the engine The noise from the shifter region was becoming louder but I wasnrsquot experiencing any power loss so I kept an ear out and we kept riding
Our next stop was at the Cheddar Cheese Museum in Saint-Prime where a sweet young man took us on a tour
He showed us the old-fashioned way cheddar cheese was made and then we got to tour the museum portion of the factory 4 generations of the family Perron have made cheddar cheese here
The museum has over 650 artifacts that involve the familyrsquos history in cheese making including the stamps and other machinery used in exporting the cheese
The Cheddar Cheese Museum offers interactive displays and hosts several workshops on the art of making cheddar Upstairs you can view the family home of the Perronrsquos and see all of the period specific furnishings
Along with guided tours you can also sample the various types of cheddar cheese which we did and oh my I have never tasted cheddar that was so smooth and rich
After thanking our young guide for the fabulous tour we headed off
We stopped at Tim Hortonrsquos for a coffee and sitting out on the curb in front of my bike I could see the leak was getting worse I was very concerned and asked if there was a shop nearby where I could at least check the oil level in my primary
Rejean talked to one of the local riders Denis AKA Tarte au Sucre (Sweet Pie) and he took us to Carl Tremblayrsquos shop Carl is a mechanic that many here swear by His rates are far cheaper than the dealerships and every rider in the region says hersquos a guru He took the primary apart and sure
enough discovered that the compensating sprocket was dead and the stator was leaking With parts ordered and Rejeanrsquos wife going to the Harley shop to pick them up Francine Lynne Rejean and Denis rode me to my hotel the Motel Chutes des Pegraveres in Dolbeau-Mistassini My gear and luggage was distributed over three of the four bikes
By the time we got in it was dark and everyone had to head home I enjoyed a wonderful steak for supper and then headed off to my beautiful room and after a boiling hot pounding shower I climbed into the queen-sized bed and with the sound of the falls lulling me to sleep
And thatrsquos where I will leave you until next weekhellipBelt Drive Betty

1 - Yoursquoll Become a Better DriverTherersquos no doubt that riding a motorcycle has its
benefits especially when it comes to driving a car Riding a motorcycle teaches you to look out for people who are trying to kill you yoursquoll see hazards sooner and yoursquoll end up with Ninja-like machine control So when it comes to driving yoursquoll put all that to work and be a cut above the rest Hopefully
2 - Everyone Wants To Talk To YouIt really doesnrsquot matter what kind of motorcycle
you ride yoursquoll find middle-aged men stare at you and your bike with a dreamy lust before giving you an unwanted compliment Chances are theyrsquoll have no idea what the bike is either
Choose a classic or even worse a modern classic and yoursquoll become a magnet for old men who have the knack of being able to have a conversation with you without you needing to add any input Yoursquoll reach for your helmet on more than one occasion but not be able to put in on and leave because theyrsquoll ask you a question when you try Yoursquoll be subjected to questions about your
bike that you donrsquot know the answer to or even care about
The conversation will go something like this Is that a Triumph I had a Triumph once (followed by 10 minutes of ldquoback in my day rdquo)
3 - When You Say Yoursquore A Biker This Is The First Image That
Comes To Peoplehellip
5 Things They Never Told You About Becoming A Bikerby Robert Whaley NW Ontario Motorcycling
You could be a nice guy you could have something that resembles a career you could do the occasional BBQ it doesnrsquot matter When you mention to anyone at a party that yoursquove got a motorcycle a picture of this guy will pop into their head Then as you explain that you donrsquot ride a cruiser and yoursquove got a sportsbike theyrsquoll just think yoursquore speaking Greek and will reevaluate you as some sort of nut job who tries to kill himself on the highways Itrsquos a no-win
4 - Bees and Other Flying Things Will Start To Scare You
Anything flying will scare you When yoursquore sitting around at a family BBQ and everyone starts going mental the moment a bee or a wasp arrives on the scene you sit there perfectly calm and wonder what all the fuss is about
However - when yoursquore on a bike itrsquos a different story There you are riding along on a nice sunny day with your visor up enjoying the countryside and the winding road in front of you
Then you spot it 50 metres away a large insect looks like its stopped going about its daily business and itrsquos homing in at you instead Before you can do anything about it it goes THHHHHWAP right on your cheek Close but luckily it didnrsquot get you in the eye Then you panic the little bastardrsquos still in your helmet You insert a clumsy leather-clad finger and try and flick whatever it is away but probably end up pissing it off even further Then you crank on the brakes and perform the worldrsquos fastest lid removal followed by a little bit of a flappy-armed dance
5 - You Canrsquot Figure Out Who To Wave ToWhen you get a motorcycle you become part of a
club Itrsquos a club no biker really talks about but yoursquore in it now and yoursquore not allowed to leave Ever When you first pass your test yoursquoll wave at anyone and everyone If yoursquore heading down a road and a dog looks at you the right way yoursquoll probably wave at him too
Unfortunately this will change There are no set rules as to how it will change but yoursquoll end up developing your own code Me I wave at everyone dogs too and donrsquot give a second thought to the riders that donrsquot wave back But thatrsquos just me Yoursquoll have to work out your own code
Breaking is one of the most important things that you will learn to do on a motorcycle When we first learn to ride we are taught techniques to protect ourselves from crashing such as breaking shifting and countersteering But generally the most effective way to avoid an accident is through proper use of the brakes
The rear brake in particular is probably one of the least understood controls on a motorcycle Many riders donrsquot use the rear brake at all claiming that it doesnrsquot actually aid in slowing down or stopping the bike and say that it locks up the rear tire when trying to use it In fact most experts agree that a balanced use of both the front and rear brake is the most effective way of slowing or stopping a motorcycle
The rear brake also plays a huge role in adding stability to the bike when maneuvering
Because of the weight distribution on a motorcycle the braking balance of stopping power between the front and rear is 70 on the front and 30 on the rear This should tell you that if you donrsquot use the rear brake at all you are loosing 30 of the potential stopping power on your bike This could become a critical factor if you find yourself in trouble and have to try
and avoid an accident
Why does the rear brake lock up Well once again it has to do with weight distribution When you find yourself in a braking situation and start applying the brakes the geometry of the bike changes (due partly to the suspension) and much of the total weight (bike + rider) is transferred to the front This allows the rider to apply much more front brake than rear brake (the 7030 ratio)
Learning the finer points of your bikersquos braking performance is the key to keeping your bike in control It is a good idea to explore those limits in a safe environment
Practice repeated stops in an abandoned parking lot and yoursquoll start to get a feel for the amount of
effort that triggers tire slippage or rear tire lock-up
Try stopping with your front brake only then rear only and then a combination of both Once you become more familiar with your bikersquos brakes the sensations of weight transfer will start to feel more apparent and familiar That way yoursquoll be much more aware of the limits of your bike and yoursquoll be much better prepared in stopping

CAV To Hold AGM During ATLANTICADE (Summerside PE)
ndash The relationship started off by accident back in 2007 in
Moncton during the inaugural Atlanticade eventldquoI saw these guys who were hanging around
together with CAV crests on their vests and didnrsquot really know who they wererdquo says Dale Hicks festival founder and chairman Hicks began to connect the dots on the final day when the closing parade ended at the local veteranrsquos health care center and the CAV riders were very engaged with the vets ldquoSo I starting asking ndash who are these guys and what does CAV stand forrdquo
That was over seven years ago and now the relationship between Atlanticade and the Canadian Army Veterans is as strong a bond as you will find anywhere in the world of motorcycle events
ldquoOnce we became aware of who the CAV group was and what they represented I said well this group reflects the best of what it means to be Canadian so we certainly wanted to build a relationship with themrdquo recalls Hicks
Since then CAV has played a significant role in some form or fashion at each Atlanticade event The festival now has a
ldquoSupport the Troopsrdquo activity incorporated into the schedule each year where CAV plays a lead role In addition CAV will also be found leading parades such as the Confederation Bridge Cruise and the Parade of Iron Horses
In fact in 2011 Hicks was surprised and honored to be presented with an
honorary membership into the CAV organization at the closing awards breakfast at the Algonquin Hotel in St Andrews
ldquoYeah they caught me off guard with that and I certainly was humbled and honored by to be presented the crest by Trapperrdquo says Hicks ldquoI donrsquot feel worthy of wearing the crest but I do sport it proudly at certain times during Atlanticaderdquo
The unique bond between the two organizations continues for the upcoming 8th annual festival being held in Summerside PEI from June 27th to
Continued Next Page
(Atlanticade chairman Dale Hicks had just presented Trapper Cane with the annual ldquoExperienced Rider Awardrdquo
when Cane turned the tables by presenting Hicks with his honorary CAV membership during the 2011 event)
July 1st Recenty CAV founder Paul (Trapper) Cane announced the grouprsquos annual general meeting will take place in Summerside in conjunction with Atlanticade
ldquoAtlanticade brings great energy to all riders and our CAV members certainly appreciate the extra efforts put forth by Dalersquos team to give us some profile at the eventrdquo says Cane ldquoNo doubt it has been a great relationship between the two organizations and we hope it continues well into the futurerdquo
For his part Hicks says that Atlanticade is very proud to be able to host the CAV ndash AGM as part of the 2014 festival ldquoWe always have a good turnout of CAV members at our event but this will mean an additional boost in participants from across the country We hope we can make it a little special for them and something they will remember years down the roadrdquo

Wyz WisdomPeople often take the time to complain but rarely take the time to say ldquoyou done goodrdquo ndash take a momenthellipspread the happyhelliptell someone when theyrsquove done a good job today ndash WyzWmnSome Donkey WisdomOne day a farmerrsquos donkey fell down into a well The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to doFinally he decided the animal was old and the well needed to be covered up anyway it just wasnrsquot worth it to retrieve the donkey He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well At first the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly Then to everyonersquos amazement he quieted downA few shovel loads later the farmer finally looked down the well and was astonished at what he saw With every shovel of dirt that hit his back the donkey was doing something amazing He would shake it off and take a step up on the dirt As the farmerrsquos neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal he would shake it off
and take a step up Pretty soon everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted offAnd the moral ishellip Life is going to shovel dirt on you all kinds of dirt The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up Each of our troubles is a steppingstone We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping never giving up Shake it off and take a step up

As we see in the conflicts that are brewing around this world of ours the power of the people to affect change is powerful
A small group of committed individuals can accomplish much
They can topple governments or back them up against a wall
The on highway motorcycle community in Canada is rapidly approaching 1 million registered motorcycles
Every weekend you will see thousands of us gathered at various events across our respective provinces and territories always riding and working for charities that mean something to us that hit
home for usVery seldom however do you see this community
rally around itself and its own issues outside of riders we lovecare about needing help
As we get prepared for the 2014 riding season we as riders are going to face a variety of issues Some will affect all of us other issues will only affect certain riders
Insurance is an issue that affects us all as are the condition of the highways in this country So is distracted driving
As a rider who has ridden across this great land of ours I can tell you road maintenance is also an issue in the majority of regions
Some of us will experience police harassment others will ride uninterrupted
Some of us will experience headaches in communities with Motorcycle Only Noise Bylaws others will never be detained or bothered
Some of us will have great experiences at dealerships and others not so much
Some of us will experience discrimination and be turned away from establishments because of how we dress and what we ride others will experience none of that
This summer when you experience issues do something about it
Remember the POWER OF THE PEOPLEDocument it Photos videos and written
accounts of the situations you encounterThen if you live in a provinceterritory with a
Riders Rights Organization like BCCOM ABATE BRO Coalition of Manitoba Motorcycle Groups
RAGE or the newly formed Atlantic Motorcycle Coalition get that information into them so that they have something concrete to work with
They canrsquot help you or anyone else unless YOU give them something to work with
If you are in a province where there is no collective to represent your voice like in Alberta NWT YT - the only three regions without a provincialterritorial lobbying voice then yoursquoll really want to document things well especially if it involves court and lawyers If it is about roadways and other concerns you can at least present your MLA with the information
Every rider who experiences something of a discomforting nature should stand up and say something do something so that the others who come after you might not have to experience the same thing
If you arenrsquot a member of your local riders rights coalition consider becoming one
Our voice counts be it as an individual taxpayer or in a collective with many voices united but they only count when the persons we are discussing our
situation with can actually do something about itWhining and not taking the right actions do
nothing to alleviate problems - so this summer get a camera for your motorcycle or helmet have a note pad and a pen in a tool pouch or jacket pocket and remember the information you take down and share with the right people will do some good if not today somewhere down the road
Thatrsquos whatrsquos on my mind today what are your thoughts on the topic of the Power of the People
Have a great day and if you are one of the lucky ones who is riding today please remember to ride like everyone around you is blind and cannot see you
Until next week I am your editor Belt Drive Betty

Art amp The Motorcycle My Name Milton BeginMake Harley DavidsonYear 1993Title ldquoFresh Paint n Old LeatherrdquoArtist Jeremy Ferguson
The tragedy of the space shuttle Challenger is what gave me the idea of the paint scheme I knew I wanted to keep the blue color on the bike After all I as well as the people who know me have always referred to the bike as Olrsquo Blue Flames and skulls have been well overdone so it came to me scorched paint and steel Must have been what the shuttle was going thru for that split second in the early stage of re-entry
The bike was shipped out of Milwaukee in 1993 I rode it to Milwaukee in 2003 for the 100th Anniversary Ride Home Celebration for Harley Davidson Plans were made to ride it home again in 2013 for the 110th Anniversary Fresh paint was in order Hence the name Fresh Paint n Old Leather I have kept and still ride with the same leather for all too many years Although you canrsquot see many of the details in the picture Jeremy scratched in the dates after it was painted onto the bottom of the front fender It looks awesome because Jeremy is a talented individual
If I am able I will ride home again in 2023 The bike will undoubtedly make it

Light travels faster than sound This is why some people appear
No idea quite Where you are exactly nor do you know where yet you need to be
You feel as tossed as tumultuously as leaves in the wind
Your thoughts are as
turbulent amp dangerous as the moods of a teenagerYou are almost certain you are going in an
aimless direction with your eyes closed but your hands refuse to relinquish their grips
There is a time when the mind gleefully spins events amp memories into painful brutal tellings amp the tears dry upon your cheeks as fast as the wind can touch them leaving no trace
This is the time when intelligent rationale simply fails amp pure raw emotion takes over
Coherent thought is impossibleSpeech is non-existentThe primal need to fight- flee or fuck has kicked
into overdrive amp so with the flick of a thumb you opt for the fastest although not necessarily Wisest course of action amp race away from your demons at breakneck speed almost daring them to catch you
And the racechase is onMile after mile flashes past beneath you amp you
handle the bike as easily as breathing There are times when you ldquobecome onerdquo with it amp this is surely that time
It is pure sensation the adrenalin rush of exhilaration that isnrsquot noticed
The passage of time on a stopwatch held by the hands of the Gods

On the sixth day God turned to Archangel Gabriel and said Today
I am going to create a land called Canada It will be a land of outstanding natural beauty It shall have tall majestic mountains full of mountain goats and eagles beautiful sparkling lakes bountiful with bass and trout forests full of elk and moose high cliffs over-looking sandy beaches with an abundance of sea life and rivers stocked with salmon
God continued
I shall make the land rich in resources so as to make the inhabitants prosper I shall call these inhabitants Canadians and they shall be known as the most friendly people on the earth
But Lord asked Gabriel dont you think you are being too generous to these Canadians
Not really replied GodJust wait and see the winters I am going to give

While the boy and his father were watching with amazement a fat old lady in a wheel chair rolled up to the moving walls and pressed a button The walls opened and the lady rolled between them into a small room The walls closed and the boy and his father watched the small circular numbers above the walls light up sequentially They continued to watch until it reached the last number and then the numbers began to light in the reverse order Then the walls opened up again and a gorgeous voluptuous 24-year-old blonde woman stepped out The father not taking his eyes off the young woman said quietly to his son

The Touch of a healerAn Irishman in a wheelchair entered a restaurant
one afternoon and asked the waitress for a cup of coffee The Irishman looked across the restaurant and asked Is that Jesus sitting over there The waitress nodded yes so the Irishman told her to give Jesus a cup of coffee on him
The next patron to come in was an Englishman with a hunched back He shuffled over to a booth painfully sat down and asked for a cup of hot tea He also glanced across the restaurant and asked Is that Jesus over there The waitress nodded so the Englishman said to give Jesus a cup of hot tea my treat
The third patron to come into the restaurant was a Redneck on crutches He hobbled over to a booth sat down and hollered Hey there sweet thang Hows about gettin me a cold glass of Coke He too looked across the restaurant and asked Is that
Gods boy over there The waitress once again nodded that it was so the Redneck said to give Jesus a cold glass of Coke on my bill
As Jesus got up to leave he passed by the Irishman touched him and said For your kindness you are healed The Irishman felt the strength come back to his legs got up and danced a jig right out the door
Jesus also passed by the Englishman touched him and said For your kindness you are healed The Englishman felt his back straightening up and he raised his hands praised the Lord and did a series of back flips out the door
Then Jesus walked up to the Redneck
The Redneck jumped up and yelled ldquoDonrsquot touch me Irsquom drawinrsquo disabilityrdquo
The most important thing for all motorcycle riders and vehicle drivers in Saskatchewan right now is standing-up and getting YOUR voice heardhellipand COUNTED
When it comes to the Saskatchewan Rate Review process each and every voice matters no matter how big no matter how small Every voice every opinion matters Use this process to make YOUR VOICE COUNT BEFORE April 28 2014 After thathellipit is too late
RAGE is here to continue what we started so successfully last year To continue to lobby SGI and the Provincial Government to put real and long-term public policy forward to end the continuous cycle of rate increases being implemented to
cover up escalating high-risk driving behaviour in Saskatchewan In a nutshell to stop just raising rates and not much else
If you parked a vehicle on the street downtown (any type of vehicle) and just left it there till it caused an accident How long would it take for that vehicle to be at-fault for causing one That is if it wasnrsquot stolen or vandalized first
Now if a person comes along gets into that same vehicle and drives off looking at their cellphone and texting How long
If it is a motorcycle and a person who just wrote their learners with zero experience (other than maybe a ride around the block) comes along gets on and rides off into traffic How long
The great thing about what we are putting forward is that it addresses ALL driver behavior Not vehicles but those who drive them ALL of us
You as a motorcycle and vehicle owner need to be speaking up this yearhellipin Saskatchewan you are more than likely both Making sure YOUR voice
Stand Up and Be Counted

RAGE Dare to Know
What your body needs to heal itself
The BodyTalk Systemwith Practitioner Bev Groot
To book an appointment or find out more about the BodyTalk System call
gets counted To stop the endless cycle of just raising rates with not much else
This will allow RAGE to have a strong voice when it comes to the Personal Injury Insurance Review happening later this year Remember YOUR ldquoa-la-carterdquo recommendation has been approved by government
To continue to fight for mandatory safety training (Yes RAGE has always wanted this to be mandatory)
To continue to work with SGI on the things they are already implementing as a result of RAGE and ALL YOUR VOICES
YOUR VOICEno matter what your messageMATTERS to RAGE
Without all YOUR voicesindividuallyeach counting as 1UNITED into manyhellipSGI will simply not listen
Since the 1980rsquos and up until last yearvery few voices were raised to be counted during the Rate Review Process SGI pretty much did what they wantedthen last year BAM
For years SGI shut out anyone any group many efforts by the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel and the Provincial Government for any changeswhyNO UNITED VOICES Yes they brought in the 3 year MGDL in 2011 However they didnrsquot work with the groups involved past initial consultations SGI came to their own conclusions (no one could agree) and implemented what they
wanted SGI then stopped returning calls and continued to increase rates in 2012 and 2013
Even the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel has had difficulty getting the information they need from SGI to make informed decisions
Is it little wonder that the Minister Responsible for SGI felt she didnrsquot have to listen to the ldquosuggestionrdquo of the Rate Review Panel After all they never really had in previous years
Hammering us with another 15 increase could have been meant to knock us off our motorcycles and give up After all that hard workhellipand yet another increase Irsquom betting they expected us to cry in our coffee about how unfair they are about how they just do want they want anyway how we should just privatize and then do nothing more than that
Now that might have workedhellipin the past That is until last year the first time since the 1980rsquos when RAGE worked hard to organize YOUR voices YOU each used your own voices You each counted Then RAGE presented a proposal that took EACH ONE and MADE THEM COUNT as a UNITED VOICE
Then we did the unthinkablehellipWE STAYED We werenrsquot just there for 3 meetings WE
were 100 ALL INhellipFOR YOU To make sure YOUR VOICES continued to count RAGE continued to work with SGI on the wording for the recommendations put forward providing information for awareness sharing the ldquoCount Your Motorcyclerdquo game and much more
When it comes right down to it YOUR opinions and comments should matter to YOU IT does not matter if you donrsquot agree with the overall message of RAGE or your local riding club group
association coffee groupwhatever WHAT MATTERSis YOU getting YOUR VOICE
heard YOU canrsquot leave it up to everyone else You canrsquot assume anyone else is going to do this for YOU WE ALL MUST FIGHT
The worst thing you can do is nothing THAT is even worse than complaining and doing nothing Complaincomplain to your hearts contentto the Sask Rate Review Panel
THEN go have coffeeIf you canrsquot make it to the meeting in person
please at the very least contact the Rate Review Panel with YOUR voice
Each of our own voices count as 1 in this processjust as the voice of RAGE only counts as 1 We know SGI only listens when there are MANY following a UNITED theme
YOU can get YOUR voice heardand COUNTEDby submitting your comments regarding the application by April 28 2014 using any of the following methods

After a magnificent breakfast I started loading up my bike and it wasnrsquot long before the gang arrived to come take me sightseeing
Our first stop of the day after topping up our tanks was at the look out of Lac Saint Jean
From here you truly get a sense of how immense this lake is
We took some time to admire the view and chat about the plans for the rest of the day
Our next stop was to be the Camp Musical a purely French speaking musical camp for students to come and immerse themselves in the culture of the region and the music that is their passion
The camp has numerous housing units and the most incredible concert hall The Raymond Tremblay concert hall has 320 seats 2 piano rooms a bistro terrace and exhibition hall The Egyptian goddess Hathor is symbolized here and she represents happiness joy and music
The acoustics even when you are just speaking
well stunning would be the word to describe the sound quality
Everything about this 40-year-old institute screams creativity We went up to the gazebo on the observation deck and took in the panorama Breathtakingly beautiful you can see why this region inspires music and lyrics
After our tour of the camp was done we headed out towards the Village Historique Val-Jalbert Canadarsquos BEST preserved Ghost Town I couldnrsquot wait
The ride from the Camp Musical to Val-Jalbert which is just northwest of Chambord took about 30 minutes It was a wee bit overcast but the temperature was perfect for riding
When we arrived at Val-Jalbert we headed into the gorgeous visitor information centre and were assigned a tour guide named Michelle Pelletier Michelle turned out to be an amazing tour guide
She spoke in both French and English easily and made all of us feel so welcome

We got in an electric cart and began our tour with Michelle telling us about the history of this town and why it is such a significant tourism and historical attraction
You see this town was the dream of one man Damase Jalbert He was the founder of the Ouiatchouan Pulp Company that built a pulp mill
here The town he founded for his employees started out as Saint-Georges-de-Ouiatchouan named for the river and the falls that powered the mill The name was changed to Val-Jalbert in 1913 in honor of the man whose dream it was
Damase wanted to build the best company town and provide his employees with a rarified quality of living
He died suddenly three years after opening the mill The mill faced a cash shortage and was bought by American shareholders in 1904 In 1909 the Chicoutimi Pulp Company bought it
From 1909 to 1922 the village flourished and was the envy of many surrounding communities
The company town offered employees electricity and running water in their homes a good 25 years before anyone else in Quebec had power
In 1923 the demand for mechanical pulp began to fall and by 1924 most of the workers had been laid off
On August 13th 1927 all operations ceased and over the next few years the village became abandoned
In 1942 the government took the property back for non-payment of taxes and in 1970 Val-Jalbert had new life breathed into it as a tourist attraction In recent years the government of Quebec has spent 19+ million dollars to upgrade and improve the visitors information centre put in a glass observation deck and a whole host of other improvements
Val-Jalbert must have been the most amazing town in the region in its day because this place is utterly amazing today The Quebec government has spent a lot of money and time restoring this
place to preserve the history and they have done an incredible job
Our first stop on the tour was the convent school where we met ldquoMother Superiorrdquo who took us through the school and answered our questions She was stern but I think there was a glint of mischief in her eyes as she ldquodisciplinedrdquo us on proper etiquette
There was the most amazing art display in
one room and in another the historical timeline of the residents of Val-Jalbert to take in The antiques and furnishings truly made you feel you were stuck in a time warp
After touring the school we headed towards the post office The ldquopostmistressrdquo was this chatty little gal that had us peeing ourselves we were laughing so hard It was pretty cool to see the old stamps and the various bits of equipment of the day
We walked up the street to take a tour of the restored duplexes that line the main street You have to see these places to truly appreciate them Imagine 1910 and you can flip a switch and have lights turn a tap and have water flush a toilet and not have to walk to the outhouse
These company houses were so well built and the people who lived here were fiercely loyal to the company that treated them so well
From the duplexes we went to the general store where we ran into the ldquoMayorrdquo the only person in town to have a car The general store offers up everything a visitor could need plus acts as a museum with lots of interesting period pieces on display
Michelle had gotten keys to show us the duplexes that have been upgraded and make up the 4 star accommodations offered here
We walked across the street and were taken to view to the most amazing hotel rooms
Rustic and yet modern these rooms are spacious well appointed and every one of them has unique little shadow boxes filled with antiques
All of the modern appliances Internet boxes and TV are all hidden in closets so that they are not visible It makes for a very appealing deacutecor
Although the rooms appear to only have one bed in the matter of a few moments Michelle had the
couch taken apart and the bed folded down out of the wall for a second bed
The bathrooms are absolute marvels with big tubs and glass showers
The parking for the hotel rooms is hidden behind a row of trees so that there is no real visual of anything modern on the face of things
From the hotel rooms we got back in the electric cart and headed towards the ldquoruinsrdquo Although many of the duplexes have been restored Michelle explained to us that the style of construction for the company houses had been changed and that
the newer houses had collapsed on themselves Some of the buildings are slated for restoration but many are too far-gone The streets they line are preserved so that one can walk by the ruins and get a feel for how large this town really was and how well laid out it was
Our next stop was the Mill Impressive is a good word to describe this place We had our lunch in the Old Mill Restaurant The food served here complimented the
atmosphere ndash IMPECCABLEThe chef Carl Murray has a great reputation that
he totally lives up toThe service
the food the atmosphere and the company were all top drawer
After our fabulous meal it was time to head to the tram and go experience the waterfalls
The ride up to the top gives you the most magnificent view of the region The Ouiatchouan Falls are some 65 feet higher than the Niagara Falls
and the power of them is palpable The rushing water is almost deafening as you walk out on to the glass observation deck
From the falls we walked down to the mill again and took in the most impressive interactive show I have ever experienced In the underbelly of the once abandoned mill amongst all of the monster gearing and shafts the lights go dim you feel the mist in the air and all of a sudden the walls become alive with characters from the original town and they take you through the historical timeline of the village and its people
It is absolutely captivating you become totally involved in the lives and the hardship of the villagers
The show signaled the end of our tour and Michelle took us back to the visitor information centre and sent us all off with gifts of blueberry jam and blueberry tea to remember our visit by
My bike had been acting up off and on and I had been keeping an eye out on a leak coming from the front of the engine The noise from the shifter region was becoming louder but I wasnrsquot experiencing any power loss so I kept an ear out and we kept riding
Our next stop was at the Cheddar Cheese Museum in Saint-Prime where a sweet young man took us on a tour
He showed us the old-fashioned way cheddar cheese was made and then we got to tour the museum portion of the factory 4 generations of the family Perron have made cheddar cheese here
The museum has over 650 artifacts that involve the familyrsquos history in cheese making including the stamps and other machinery used in exporting the cheese
The Cheddar Cheese Museum offers interactive displays and hosts several workshops on the art of making cheddar Upstairs you can view the family home of the Perronrsquos and see all of the period specific furnishings
Along with guided tours you can also sample the various types of cheddar cheese which we did and oh my I have never tasted cheddar that was so smooth and rich
After thanking our young guide for the fabulous tour we headed off
We stopped at Tim Hortonrsquos for a coffee and sitting out on the curb in front of my bike I could see the leak was getting worse I was very concerned and asked if there was a shop nearby where I could at least check the oil level in my primary
Rejean talked to one of the local riders Denis AKA Tarte au Sucre (Sweet Pie) and he took us to Carl Tremblayrsquos shop Carl is a mechanic that many here swear by His rates are far cheaper than the dealerships and every rider in the region says hersquos a guru He took the primary apart and sure
enough discovered that the compensating sprocket was dead and the stator was leaking With parts ordered and Rejeanrsquos wife going to the Harley shop to pick them up Francine Lynne Rejean and Denis rode me to my hotel the Motel Chutes des Pegraveres in Dolbeau-Mistassini My gear and luggage was distributed over three of the four bikes
By the time we got in it was dark and everyone had to head home I enjoyed a wonderful steak for supper and then headed off to my beautiful room and after a boiling hot pounding shower I climbed into the queen-sized bed and with the sound of the falls lulling me to sleep
And thatrsquos where I will leave you until next weekhellipBelt Drive Betty

1 - Yoursquoll Become a Better DriverTherersquos no doubt that riding a motorcycle has its
benefits especially when it comes to driving a car Riding a motorcycle teaches you to look out for people who are trying to kill you yoursquoll see hazards sooner and yoursquoll end up with Ninja-like machine control So when it comes to driving yoursquoll put all that to work and be a cut above the rest Hopefully
2 - Everyone Wants To Talk To YouIt really doesnrsquot matter what kind of motorcycle
you ride yoursquoll find middle-aged men stare at you and your bike with a dreamy lust before giving you an unwanted compliment Chances are theyrsquoll have no idea what the bike is either
Choose a classic or even worse a modern classic and yoursquoll become a magnet for old men who have the knack of being able to have a conversation with you without you needing to add any input Yoursquoll reach for your helmet on more than one occasion but not be able to put in on and leave because theyrsquoll ask you a question when you try Yoursquoll be subjected to questions about your
bike that you donrsquot know the answer to or even care about
The conversation will go something like this Is that a Triumph I had a Triumph once (followed by 10 minutes of ldquoback in my day rdquo)
3 - When You Say Yoursquore A Biker This Is The First Image That
Comes To Peoplehellip
5 Things They Never Told You About Becoming A Bikerby Robert Whaley NW Ontario Motorcycling
You could be a nice guy you could have something that resembles a career you could do the occasional BBQ it doesnrsquot matter When you mention to anyone at a party that yoursquove got a motorcycle a picture of this guy will pop into their head Then as you explain that you donrsquot ride a cruiser and yoursquove got a sportsbike theyrsquoll just think yoursquore speaking Greek and will reevaluate you as some sort of nut job who tries to kill himself on the highways Itrsquos a no-win
4 - Bees and Other Flying Things Will Start To Scare You
Anything flying will scare you When yoursquore sitting around at a family BBQ and everyone starts going mental the moment a bee or a wasp arrives on the scene you sit there perfectly calm and wonder what all the fuss is about
However - when yoursquore on a bike itrsquos a different story There you are riding along on a nice sunny day with your visor up enjoying the countryside and the winding road in front of you
Then you spot it 50 metres away a large insect looks like its stopped going about its daily business and itrsquos homing in at you instead Before you can do anything about it it goes THHHHHWAP right on your cheek Close but luckily it didnrsquot get you in the eye Then you panic the little bastardrsquos still in your helmet You insert a clumsy leather-clad finger and try and flick whatever it is away but probably end up pissing it off even further Then you crank on the brakes and perform the worldrsquos fastest lid removal followed by a little bit of a flappy-armed dance
5 - You Canrsquot Figure Out Who To Wave ToWhen you get a motorcycle you become part of a
club Itrsquos a club no biker really talks about but yoursquore in it now and yoursquore not allowed to leave Ever When you first pass your test yoursquoll wave at anyone and everyone If yoursquore heading down a road and a dog looks at you the right way yoursquoll probably wave at him too
Unfortunately this will change There are no set rules as to how it will change but yoursquoll end up developing your own code Me I wave at everyone dogs too and donrsquot give a second thought to the riders that donrsquot wave back But thatrsquos just me Yoursquoll have to work out your own code
Breaking is one of the most important things that you will learn to do on a motorcycle When we first learn to ride we are taught techniques to protect ourselves from crashing such as breaking shifting and countersteering But generally the most effective way to avoid an accident is through proper use of the brakes
The rear brake in particular is probably one of the least understood controls on a motorcycle Many riders donrsquot use the rear brake at all claiming that it doesnrsquot actually aid in slowing down or stopping the bike and say that it locks up the rear tire when trying to use it In fact most experts agree that a balanced use of both the front and rear brake is the most effective way of slowing or stopping a motorcycle
The rear brake also plays a huge role in adding stability to the bike when maneuvering
Because of the weight distribution on a motorcycle the braking balance of stopping power between the front and rear is 70 on the front and 30 on the rear This should tell you that if you donrsquot use the rear brake at all you are loosing 30 of the potential stopping power on your bike This could become a critical factor if you find yourself in trouble and have to try
and avoid an accident
Why does the rear brake lock up Well once again it has to do with weight distribution When you find yourself in a braking situation and start applying the brakes the geometry of the bike changes (due partly to the suspension) and much of the total weight (bike + rider) is transferred to the front This allows the rider to apply much more front brake than rear brake (the 7030 ratio)
Learning the finer points of your bikersquos braking performance is the key to keeping your bike in control It is a good idea to explore those limits in a safe environment
Practice repeated stops in an abandoned parking lot and yoursquoll start to get a feel for the amount of
effort that triggers tire slippage or rear tire lock-up
Try stopping with your front brake only then rear only and then a combination of both Once you become more familiar with your bikersquos brakes the sensations of weight transfer will start to feel more apparent and familiar That way yoursquoll be much more aware of the limits of your bike and yoursquoll be much better prepared in stopping

CAV To Hold AGM During ATLANTICADE (Summerside PE)
ndash The relationship started off by accident back in 2007 in
Moncton during the inaugural Atlanticade eventldquoI saw these guys who were hanging around
together with CAV crests on their vests and didnrsquot really know who they wererdquo says Dale Hicks festival founder and chairman Hicks began to connect the dots on the final day when the closing parade ended at the local veteranrsquos health care center and the CAV riders were very engaged with the vets ldquoSo I starting asking ndash who are these guys and what does CAV stand forrdquo
That was over seven years ago and now the relationship between Atlanticade and the Canadian Army Veterans is as strong a bond as you will find anywhere in the world of motorcycle events
ldquoOnce we became aware of who the CAV group was and what they represented I said well this group reflects the best of what it means to be Canadian so we certainly wanted to build a relationship with themrdquo recalls Hicks
Since then CAV has played a significant role in some form or fashion at each Atlanticade event The festival now has a
ldquoSupport the Troopsrdquo activity incorporated into the schedule each year where CAV plays a lead role In addition CAV will also be found leading parades such as the Confederation Bridge Cruise and the Parade of Iron Horses
In fact in 2011 Hicks was surprised and honored to be presented with an
honorary membership into the CAV organization at the closing awards breakfast at the Algonquin Hotel in St Andrews
ldquoYeah they caught me off guard with that and I certainly was humbled and honored by to be presented the crest by Trapperrdquo says Hicks ldquoI donrsquot feel worthy of wearing the crest but I do sport it proudly at certain times during Atlanticaderdquo
The unique bond between the two organizations continues for the upcoming 8th annual festival being held in Summerside PEI from June 27th to
Continued Next Page
(Atlanticade chairman Dale Hicks had just presented Trapper Cane with the annual ldquoExperienced Rider Awardrdquo
when Cane turned the tables by presenting Hicks with his honorary CAV membership during the 2011 event)
July 1st Recenty CAV founder Paul (Trapper) Cane announced the grouprsquos annual general meeting will take place in Summerside in conjunction with Atlanticade
ldquoAtlanticade brings great energy to all riders and our CAV members certainly appreciate the extra efforts put forth by Dalersquos team to give us some profile at the eventrdquo says Cane ldquoNo doubt it has been a great relationship between the two organizations and we hope it continues well into the futurerdquo
For his part Hicks says that Atlanticade is very proud to be able to host the CAV ndash AGM as part of the 2014 festival ldquoWe always have a good turnout of CAV members at our event but this will mean an additional boost in participants from across the country We hope we can make it a little special for them and something they will remember years down the roadrdquo

and take a step up Pretty soon everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted offAnd the moral ishellip Life is going to shovel dirt on you all kinds of dirt The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up Each of our troubles is a steppingstone We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping never giving up Shake it off and take a step up

They can topple governments or back them up against a wall
The on highway motorcycle community in Canada is rapidly approaching 1 million registered motorcycles
Every weekend you will see thousands of us gathered at various events across our respective provinces and territories always riding and working for charities that mean something to us that hit
home for usVery seldom however do you see this community
rally around itself and its own issues outside of riders we lovecare about needing help
As we get prepared for the 2014 riding season we as riders are going to face a variety of issues Some will affect all of us other issues will only affect certain riders
Insurance is an issue that affects us all as are the condition of the highways in this country So is distracted driving
As a rider who has ridden across this great land of ours I can tell you road maintenance is also an issue in the majority of regions
Some of us will experience police harassment others will ride uninterrupted
Some of us will experience headaches in communities with Motorcycle Only Noise Bylaws others will never be detained or bothered
Some of us will have great experiences at dealerships and others not so much
Some of us will experience discrimination and be turned away from establishments because of how we dress and what we ride others will experience none of that
This summer when you experience issues do something about it
Remember the POWER OF THE PEOPLEDocument it Photos videos and written
accounts of the situations you encounterThen if you live in a provinceterritory with a
Riders Rights Organization like BCCOM ABATE BRO Coalition of Manitoba Motorcycle Groups
RAGE or the newly formed Atlantic Motorcycle Coalition get that information into them so that they have something concrete to work with
They canrsquot help you or anyone else unless YOU give them something to work with
If you are in a province where there is no collective to represent your voice like in Alberta NWT YT - the only three regions without a provincialterritorial lobbying voice then yoursquoll really want to document things well especially if it involves court and lawyers If it is about roadways and other concerns you can at least present your MLA with the information
Every rider who experiences something of a discomforting nature should stand up and say something do something so that the others who come after you might not have to experience the same thing
If you arenrsquot a member of your local riders rights coalition consider becoming one
Our voice counts be it as an individual taxpayer or in a collective with many voices united but they only count when the persons we are discussing our
situation with can actually do something about itWhining and not taking the right actions do
nothing to alleviate problems - so this summer get a camera for your motorcycle or helmet have a note pad and a pen in a tool pouch or jacket pocket and remember the information you take down and share with the right people will do some good if not today somewhere down the road
Thatrsquos whatrsquos on my mind today what are your thoughts on the topic of the Power of the People
Have a great day and if you are one of the lucky ones who is riding today please remember to ride like everyone around you is blind and cannot see you
Until next week I am your editor Belt Drive Betty

Art amp The Motorcycle My Name Milton BeginMake Harley DavidsonYear 1993Title ldquoFresh Paint n Old LeatherrdquoArtist Jeremy Ferguson
The tragedy of the space shuttle Challenger is what gave me the idea of the paint scheme I knew I wanted to keep the blue color on the bike After all I as well as the people who know me have always referred to the bike as Olrsquo Blue Flames and skulls have been well overdone so it came to me scorched paint and steel Must have been what the shuttle was going thru for that split second in the early stage of re-entry
The bike was shipped out of Milwaukee in 1993 I rode it to Milwaukee in 2003 for the 100th Anniversary Ride Home Celebration for Harley Davidson Plans were made to ride it home again in 2013 for the 110th Anniversary Fresh paint was in order Hence the name Fresh Paint n Old Leather I have kept and still ride with the same leather for all too many years Although you canrsquot see many of the details in the picture Jeremy scratched in the dates after it was painted onto the bottom of the front fender It looks awesome because Jeremy is a talented individual
If I am able I will ride home again in 2023 The bike will undoubtedly make it

Light travels faster than sound This is why some people appear
No idea quite Where you are exactly nor do you know where yet you need to be
You feel as tossed as tumultuously as leaves in the wind
Your thoughts are as
turbulent amp dangerous as the moods of a teenagerYou are almost certain you are going in an
aimless direction with your eyes closed but your hands refuse to relinquish their grips
There is a time when the mind gleefully spins events amp memories into painful brutal tellings amp the tears dry upon your cheeks as fast as the wind can touch them leaving no trace
This is the time when intelligent rationale simply fails amp pure raw emotion takes over
Coherent thought is impossibleSpeech is non-existentThe primal need to fight- flee or fuck has kicked
into overdrive amp so with the flick of a thumb you opt for the fastest although not necessarily Wisest course of action amp race away from your demons at breakneck speed almost daring them to catch you
And the racechase is onMile after mile flashes past beneath you amp you
handle the bike as easily as breathing There are times when you ldquobecome onerdquo with it amp this is surely that time
It is pure sensation the adrenalin rush of exhilaration that isnrsquot noticed
The passage of time on a stopwatch held by the hands of the Gods
Death might ride a pale horse but you have a Harley
And yet at some point there is the indescribable

On the sixth day God turned to Archangel Gabriel and said Today
I am going to create a land called Canada It will be a land of outstanding natural beauty It shall have tall majestic mountains full of mountain goats and eagles beautiful sparkling lakes bountiful with bass and trout forests full of elk and moose high cliffs over-looking sandy beaches with an abundance of sea life and rivers stocked with salmon
God continued
I shall make the land rich in resources so as to make the inhabitants prosper I shall call these inhabitants Canadians and they shall be known as the most friendly people on the earth
But Lord asked Gabriel dont you think you are being too generous to these Canadians
Not really replied GodJust wait and see the winters I am going to give

While the boy and his father were watching with amazement a fat old lady in a wheel chair rolled up to the moving walls and pressed a button The walls opened and the lady rolled between them into a small room The walls closed and the boy and his father watched the small circular numbers above the walls light up sequentially They continued to watch until it reached the last number and then the numbers began to light in the reverse order Then the walls opened up again and a gorgeous voluptuous 24-year-old blonde woman stepped out The father not taking his eyes off the young woman said quietly to his son

The Touch of a healerAn Irishman in a wheelchair entered a restaurant
one afternoon and asked the waitress for a cup of coffee The Irishman looked across the restaurant and asked Is that Jesus sitting over there The waitress nodded yes so the Irishman told her to give Jesus a cup of coffee on him
The next patron to come in was an Englishman with a hunched back He shuffled over to a booth painfully sat down and asked for a cup of hot tea He also glanced across the restaurant and asked Is that Jesus over there The waitress nodded so the Englishman said to give Jesus a cup of hot tea my treat
The third patron to come into the restaurant was a Redneck on crutches He hobbled over to a booth sat down and hollered Hey there sweet thang Hows about gettin me a cold glass of Coke He too looked across the restaurant and asked Is that
Gods boy over there The waitress once again nodded that it was so the Redneck said to give Jesus a cold glass of Coke on my bill
As Jesus got up to leave he passed by the Irishman touched him and said For your kindness you are healed The Irishman felt the strength come back to his legs got up and danced a jig right out the door
Jesus also passed by the Englishman touched him and said For your kindness you are healed The Englishman felt his back straightening up and he raised his hands praised the Lord and did a series of back flips out the door
Then Jesus walked up to the Redneck
The Redneck jumped up and yelled ldquoDonrsquot touch me Irsquom drawinrsquo disabilityrdquo
The most important thing for all motorcycle riders and vehicle drivers in Saskatchewan right now is standing-up and getting YOUR voice heardhellipand COUNTED
When it comes to the Saskatchewan Rate Review process each and every voice matters no matter how big no matter how small Every voice every opinion matters Use this process to make YOUR VOICE COUNT BEFORE April 28 2014 After thathellipit is too late
RAGE is here to continue what we started so successfully last year To continue to lobby SGI and the Provincial Government to put real and long-term public policy forward to end the continuous cycle of rate increases being implemented to
cover up escalating high-risk driving behaviour in Saskatchewan In a nutshell to stop just raising rates and not much else
If you parked a vehicle on the street downtown (any type of vehicle) and just left it there till it caused an accident How long would it take for that vehicle to be at-fault for causing one That is if it wasnrsquot stolen or vandalized first
Now if a person comes along gets into that same vehicle and drives off looking at their cellphone and texting How long
If it is a motorcycle and a person who just wrote their learners with zero experience (other than maybe a ride around the block) comes along gets on and rides off into traffic How long
The great thing about what we are putting forward is that it addresses ALL driver behavior Not vehicles but those who drive them ALL of us
You as a motorcycle and vehicle owner need to be speaking up this yearhellipin Saskatchewan you are more than likely both Making sure YOUR voice
Stand Up and Be Counted

RAGE Dare to Know

The BodyTalk Systemwith Practitioner Bev Groot
To book an appointment or find out more about the BodyTalk System call
gets counted To stop the endless cycle of just raising rates with not much else
This will allow RAGE to have a strong voice when it comes to the Personal Injury Insurance Review happening later this year Remember YOUR ldquoa-la-carterdquo recommendation has been approved by government
To continue to fight for mandatory safety training (Yes RAGE has always wanted this to be mandatory)
To continue to work with SGI on the things they are already implementing as a result of RAGE and ALL YOUR VOICES
YOUR VOICEno matter what your messageMATTERS to RAGE
Without all YOUR voicesindividuallyeach counting as 1UNITED into manyhellipSGI will simply not listen
Since the 1980rsquos and up until last yearvery few voices were raised to be counted during the Rate Review Process SGI pretty much did what they wantedthen last year BAM
For years SGI shut out anyone any group many efforts by the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel and the Provincial Government for any changeswhyNO UNITED VOICES Yes they brought in the 3 year MGDL in 2011 However they didnrsquot work with the groups involved past initial consultations SGI came to their own conclusions (no one could agree) and implemented what they
wanted SGI then stopped returning calls and continued to increase rates in 2012 and 2013
Even the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel has had difficulty getting the information they need from SGI to make informed decisions
Is it little wonder that the Minister Responsible for SGI felt she didnrsquot have to listen to the ldquosuggestionrdquo of the Rate Review Panel After all they never really had in previous years
Hammering us with another 15 increase could have been meant to knock us off our motorcycles and give up After all that hard workhellipand yet another increase Irsquom betting they expected us to cry in our coffee about how unfair they are about how they just do want they want anyway how we should just privatize and then do nothing more than that
Now that might have workedhellipin the past That is until last year the first time since the 1980rsquos when RAGE worked hard to organize YOUR voices YOU each used your own voices You each counted Then RAGE presented a proposal that took EACH ONE and MADE THEM COUNT as a UNITED VOICE
Then we did the unthinkablehellipWE STAYED We werenrsquot just there for 3 meetings WE
were 100 ALL INhellipFOR YOU To make sure YOUR VOICES continued to count RAGE continued to work with SGI on the wording for the recommendations put forward providing information for awareness sharing the ldquoCount Your Motorcyclerdquo game and much more
When it comes right down to it YOUR opinions and comments should matter to YOU IT does not matter if you donrsquot agree with the overall message of RAGE or your local riding club group
association coffee groupwhatever WHAT MATTERSis YOU getting YOUR VOICE
heard YOU canrsquot leave it up to everyone else You canrsquot assume anyone else is going to do this for YOU WE ALL MUST FIGHT
The worst thing you can do is nothing THAT is even worse than complaining and doing nothing Complaincomplain to your hearts contentto the Sask Rate Review Panel
THEN go have coffeeIf you canrsquot make it to the meeting in person
please at the very least contact the Rate Review Panel with YOUR voice
Each of our own voices count as 1 in this processjust as the voice of RAGE only counts as 1 We know SGI only listens when there are MANY following a UNITED theme
YOU can get YOUR voice heardand COUNTEDby submitting your comments regarding the application by April 28 2014 using any of the following methods

After a magnificent breakfast I started loading up my bike and it wasnrsquot long before the gang arrived to come take me sightseeing
Our first stop of the day after topping up our tanks was at the look out of Lac Saint Jean
From here you truly get a sense of how immense this lake is
We took some time to admire the view and chat about the plans for the rest of the day
Our next stop was to be the Camp Musical a purely French speaking musical camp for students to come and immerse themselves in the culture of the region and the music that is their passion
The camp has numerous housing units and the most incredible concert hall The Raymond Tremblay concert hall has 320 seats 2 piano rooms a bistro terrace and exhibition hall The Egyptian goddess Hathor is symbolized here and she represents happiness joy and music
The acoustics even when you are just speaking
well stunning would be the word to describe the sound quality
Everything about this 40-year-old institute screams creativity We went up to the gazebo on the observation deck and took in the panorama Breathtakingly beautiful you can see why this region inspires music and lyrics
After our tour of the camp was done we headed out towards the Village Historique Val-Jalbert Canadarsquos BEST preserved Ghost Town I couldnrsquot wait
The ride from the Camp Musical to Val-Jalbert which is just northwest of Chambord took about 30 minutes It was a wee bit overcast but the temperature was perfect for riding
When we arrived at Val-Jalbert we headed into the gorgeous visitor information centre and were assigned a tour guide named Michelle Pelletier Michelle turned out to be an amazing tour guide
She spoke in both French and English easily and made all of us feel so welcome

Saturday May 31st 2014 830 am Rain date June 1st rain or shine
We got in an electric cart and began our tour with Michelle telling us about the history of this town and why it is such a significant tourism and historical attraction
You see this town was the dream of one man Damase Jalbert He was the founder of the Ouiatchouan Pulp Company that built a pulp mill
here The town he founded for his employees started out as Saint-Georges-de-Ouiatchouan named for the river and the falls that powered the mill The name was changed to Val-Jalbert in 1913 in honor of the man whose dream it was
Damase wanted to build the best company town and provide his employees with a rarified quality of living
He died suddenly three years after opening the mill The mill faced a cash shortage and was bought by American shareholders in 1904 In 1909 the Chicoutimi Pulp Company bought it
From 1909 to 1922 the village flourished and was the envy of many surrounding communities
The company town offered employees electricity and running water in their homes a good 25 years before anyone else in Quebec had power
In 1923 the demand for mechanical pulp began to fall and by 1924 most of the workers had been laid off
On August 13th 1927 all operations ceased and over the next few years the village became abandoned
In 1942 the government took the property back for non-payment of taxes and in 1970 Val-Jalbert had new life breathed into it as a tourist attraction In recent years the government of Quebec has spent 19+ million dollars to upgrade and improve the visitors information centre put in a glass observation deck and a whole host of other improvements
Val-Jalbert must have been the most amazing town in the region in its day because this place is utterly amazing today The Quebec government has spent a lot of money and time restoring this
place to preserve the history and they have done an incredible job
Our first stop on the tour was the convent school where we met ldquoMother Superiorrdquo who took us through the school and answered our questions She was stern but I think there was a glint of mischief in her eyes as she ldquodisciplinedrdquo us on proper etiquette
There was the most amazing art display in
one room and in another the historical timeline of the residents of Val-Jalbert to take in The antiques and furnishings truly made you feel you were stuck in a time warp
After touring the school we headed towards the post office The ldquopostmistressrdquo was this chatty little gal that had us peeing ourselves we were laughing so hard It was pretty cool to see the old stamps and the various bits of equipment of the day
We walked up the street to take a tour of the restored duplexes that line the main street You have to see these places to truly appreciate them Imagine 1910 and you can flip a switch and have lights turn a tap and have water flush a toilet and not have to walk to the outhouse
These company houses were so well built and the people who lived here were fiercely loyal to the company that treated them so well
From the duplexes we went to the general store where we ran into the ldquoMayorrdquo the only person in town to have a car The general store offers up everything a visitor could need plus acts as a museum with lots of interesting period pieces on display
Michelle had gotten keys to show us the duplexes that have been upgraded and make up the 4 star accommodations offered here
We walked across the street and were taken to view to the most amazing hotel rooms
Rustic and yet modern these rooms are spacious well appointed and every one of them has unique little shadow boxes filled with antiques
All of the modern appliances Internet boxes and TV are all hidden in closets so that they are not visible It makes for a very appealing deacutecor
Although the rooms appear to only have one bed in the matter of a few moments Michelle had the
couch taken apart and the bed folded down out of the wall for a second bed
The bathrooms are absolute marvels with big tubs and glass showers
The parking for the hotel rooms is hidden behind a row of trees so that there is no real visual of anything modern on the face of things
From the hotel rooms we got back in the electric cart and headed towards the ldquoruinsrdquo Although many of the duplexes have been restored Michelle explained to us that the style of construction for the company houses had been changed and that
the newer houses had collapsed on themselves Some of the buildings are slated for restoration but many are too far-gone The streets they line are preserved so that one can walk by the ruins and get a feel for how large this town really was and how well laid out it was
Our next stop was the Mill Impressive is a good word to describe this place We had our lunch in the Old Mill Restaurant The food served here complimented the
atmosphere ndash IMPECCABLEThe chef Carl Murray has a great reputation that
he totally lives up toThe service
the food the atmosphere and the company were all top drawer
After our fabulous meal it was time to head to the tram and go experience the waterfalls
The ride up to the top gives you the most magnificent view of the region The Ouiatchouan Falls are some 65 feet higher than the Niagara Falls
and the power of them is palpable The rushing water is almost deafening as you walk out on to the glass observation deck
From the falls we walked down to the mill again and took in the most impressive interactive show I have ever experienced In the underbelly of the once abandoned mill amongst all of the monster gearing and shafts the lights go dim you feel the mist in the air and all of a sudden the walls become alive with characters from the original town and they take you through the historical timeline of the village and its people
It is absolutely captivating you become totally involved in the lives and the hardship of the villagers
The show signaled the end of our tour and Michelle took us back to the visitor information centre and sent us all off with gifts of blueberry jam and blueberry tea to remember our visit by
My bike had been acting up off and on and I had been keeping an eye out on a leak coming from the front of the engine The noise from the shifter region was becoming louder but I wasnrsquot experiencing any power loss so I kept an ear out and we kept riding
Our next stop was at the Cheddar Cheese Museum in Saint-Prime where a sweet young man took us on a tour
He showed us the old-fashioned way cheddar cheese was made and then we got to tour the museum portion of the factory 4 generations of the family Perron have made cheddar cheese here
The museum has over 650 artifacts that involve the familyrsquos history in cheese making including the stamps and other machinery used in exporting the cheese
The Cheddar Cheese Museum offers interactive displays and hosts several workshops on the art of making cheddar Upstairs you can view the family home of the Perronrsquos and see all of the period specific furnishings
Along with guided tours you can also sample the various types of cheddar cheese which we did and oh my I have never tasted cheddar that was so smooth and rich
After thanking our young guide for the fabulous tour we headed off
We stopped at Tim Hortonrsquos for a coffee and sitting out on the curb in front of my bike I could see the leak was getting worse I was very concerned and asked if there was a shop nearby where I could at least check the oil level in my primary
Rejean talked to one of the local riders Denis AKA Tarte au Sucre (Sweet Pie) and he took us to Carl Tremblayrsquos shop Carl is a mechanic that many here swear by His rates are far cheaper than the dealerships and every rider in the region says hersquos a guru He took the primary apart and sure
enough discovered that the compensating sprocket was dead and the stator was leaking With parts ordered and Rejeanrsquos wife going to the Harley shop to pick them up Francine Lynne Rejean and Denis rode me to my hotel the Motel Chutes des Pegraveres in Dolbeau-Mistassini My gear and luggage was distributed over three of the four bikes
By the time we got in it was dark and everyone had to head home I enjoyed a wonderful steak for supper and then headed off to my beautiful room and after a boiling hot pounding shower I climbed into the queen-sized bed and with the sound of the falls lulling me to sleep
And thatrsquos where I will leave you until next weekhellipBelt Drive Betty

1 - Yoursquoll Become a Better DriverTherersquos no doubt that riding a motorcycle has its
benefits especially when it comes to driving a car Riding a motorcycle teaches you to look out for people who are trying to kill you yoursquoll see hazards sooner and yoursquoll end up with Ninja-like machine control So when it comes to driving yoursquoll put all that to work and be a cut above the rest Hopefully
2 - Everyone Wants To Talk To YouIt really doesnrsquot matter what kind of motorcycle
you ride yoursquoll find middle-aged men stare at you and your bike with a dreamy lust before giving you an unwanted compliment Chances are theyrsquoll have no idea what the bike is either
Choose a classic or even worse a modern classic and yoursquoll become a magnet for old men who have the knack of being able to have a conversation with you without you needing to add any input Yoursquoll reach for your helmet on more than one occasion but not be able to put in on and leave because theyrsquoll ask you a question when you try Yoursquoll be subjected to questions about your
bike that you donrsquot know the answer to or even care about
The conversation will go something like this Is that a Triumph I had a Triumph once (followed by 10 minutes of ldquoback in my day rdquo)
3 - When You Say Yoursquore A Biker This Is The First Image That
Comes To Peoplehellip
5 Things They Never Told You About Becoming A Bikerby Robert Whaley NW Ontario Motorcycling
You could be a nice guy you could have something that resembles a career you could do the occasional BBQ it doesnrsquot matter When you mention to anyone at a party that yoursquove got a motorcycle a picture of this guy will pop into their head Then as you explain that you donrsquot ride a cruiser and yoursquove got a sportsbike theyrsquoll just think yoursquore speaking Greek and will reevaluate you as some sort of nut job who tries to kill himself on the highways Itrsquos a no-win
4 - Bees and Other Flying Things Will Start To Scare You
Anything flying will scare you When yoursquore sitting around at a family BBQ and everyone starts going mental the moment a bee or a wasp arrives on the scene you sit there perfectly calm and wonder what all the fuss is about
However - when yoursquore on a bike itrsquos a different story There you are riding along on a nice sunny day with your visor up enjoying the countryside and the winding road in front of you
Then you spot it 50 metres away a large insect looks like its stopped going about its daily business and itrsquos homing in at you instead Before you can do anything about it it goes THHHHHWAP right on your cheek Close but luckily it didnrsquot get you in the eye Then you panic the little bastardrsquos still in your helmet You insert a clumsy leather-clad finger and try and flick whatever it is away but probably end up pissing it off even further Then you crank on the brakes and perform the worldrsquos fastest lid removal followed by a little bit of a flappy-armed dance
5 - You Canrsquot Figure Out Who To Wave ToWhen you get a motorcycle you become part of a
club Itrsquos a club no biker really talks about but yoursquore in it now and yoursquore not allowed to leave Ever When you first pass your test yoursquoll wave at anyone and everyone If yoursquore heading down a road and a dog looks at you the right way yoursquoll probably wave at him too
Unfortunately this will change There are no set rules as to how it will change but yoursquoll end up developing your own code Me I wave at everyone dogs too and donrsquot give a second thought to the riders that donrsquot wave back But thatrsquos just me Yoursquoll have to work out your own code
Breaking is one of the most important things that you will learn to do on a motorcycle When we first learn to ride we are taught techniques to protect ourselves from crashing such as breaking shifting and countersteering But generally the most effective way to avoid an accident is through proper use of the brakes
The rear brake in particular is probably one of the least understood controls on a motorcycle Many riders donrsquot use the rear brake at all claiming that it doesnrsquot actually aid in slowing down or stopping the bike and say that it locks up the rear tire when trying to use it In fact most experts agree that a balanced use of both the front and rear brake is the most effective way of slowing or stopping a motorcycle
The rear brake also plays a huge role in adding stability to the bike when maneuvering
Because of the weight distribution on a motorcycle the braking balance of stopping power between the front and rear is 70 on the front and 30 on the rear This should tell you that if you donrsquot use the rear brake at all you are loosing 30 of the potential stopping power on your bike This could become a critical factor if you find yourself in trouble and have to try
and avoid an accident
Why does the rear brake lock up Well once again it has to do with weight distribution When you find yourself in a braking situation and start applying the brakes the geometry of the bike changes (due partly to the suspension) and much of the total weight (bike + rider) is transferred to the front This allows the rider to apply much more front brake than rear brake (the 7030 ratio)
Learning the finer points of your bikersquos braking performance is the key to keeping your bike in control It is a good idea to explore those limits in a safe environment
Practice repeated stops in an abandoned parking lot and yoursquoll start to get a feel for the amount of
effort that triggers tire slippage or rear tire lock-up
Try stopping with your front brake only then rear only and then a combination of both Once you become more familiar with your bikersquos brakes the sensations of weight transfer will start to feel more apparent and familiar That way yoursquoll be much more aware of the limits of your bike and yoursquoll be much better prepared in stopping

CAV To Hold AGM During ATLANTICADE (Summerside PE)
ndash The relationship started off by accident back in 2007 in
Moncton during the inaugural Atlanticade eventldquoI saw these guys who were hanging around
together with CAV crests on their vests and didnrsquot really know who they wererdquo says Dale Hicks festival founder and chairman Hicks began to connect the dots on the final day when the closing parade ended at the local veteranrsquos health care center and the CAV riders were very engaged with the vets ldquoSo I starting asking ndash who are these guys and what does CAV stand forrdquo
That was over seven years ago and now the relationship between Atlanticade and the Canadian Army Veterans is as strong a bond as you will find anywhere in the world of motorcycle events
ldquoOnce we became aware of who the CAV group was and what they represented I said well this group reflects the best of what it means to be Canadian so we certainly wanted to build a relationship with themrdquo recalls Hicks
Since then CAV has played a significant role in some form or fashion at each Atlanticade event The festival now has a
ldquoSupport the Troopsrdquo activity incorporated into the schedule each year where CAV plays a lead role In addition CAV will also be found leading parades such as the Confederation Bridge Cruise and the Parade of Iron Horses
In fact in 2011 Hicks was surprised and honored to be presented with an
honorary membership into the CAV organization at the closing awards breakfast at the Algonquin Hotel in St Andrews
ldquoYeah they caught me off guard with that and I certainly was humbled and honored by to be presented the crest by Trapperrdquo says Hicks ldquoI donrsquot feel worthy of wearing the crest but I do sport it proudly at certain times during Atlanticaderdquo
The unique bond between the two organizations continues for the upcoming 8th annual festival being held in Summerside PEI from June 27th to

(Atlanticade chairman Dale Hicks had just presented Trapper Cane with the annual ldquoExperienced Rider Awardrdquo
when Cane turned the tables by presenting Hicks with his honorary CAV membership during the 2011 event)
July 1st Recenty CAV founder Paul (Trapper) Cane announced the grouprsquos annual general meeting will take place in Summerside in conjunction with Atlanticade
ldquoAtlanticade brings great energy to all riders and our CAV members certainly appreciate the extra efforts put forth by Dalersquos team to give us some profile at the eventrdquo says Cane ldquoNo doubt it has been a great relationship between the two organizations and we hope it continues well into the futurerdquo
For his part Hicks says that Atlanticade is very proud to be able to host the CAV ndash AGM as part of the 2014 festival ldquoWe always have a good turnout of CAV members at our event but this will mean an additional boost in participants from across the country We hope we can make it a little special for them and something they will remember years down the roadrdquo

and take a step up Pretty soon everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted offAnd the moral ishellip Life is going to shovel dirt on you all kinds of dirt The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up Each of our troubles is a steppingstone We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping never giving up Shake it off and take a step up

RAGE or the newly formed Atlantic Motorcycle Coalition get that information into them so that they have something concrete to work with
They canrsquot help you or anyone else unless YOU give them something to work with
If you are in a province where there is no collective to represent your voice like in Alberta NWT YT - the only three regions without a provincialterritorial lobbying voice then yoursquoll really want to document things well especially if it involves court and lawyers If it is about roadways and other concerns you can at least present your MLA with the information
Every rider who experiences something of a discomforting nature should stand up and say something do something so that the others who come after you might not have to experience the same thing
If you arenrsquot a member of your local riders rights coalition consider becoming one
Our voice counts be it as an individual taxpayer or in a collective with many voices united but they only count when the persons we are discussing our
situation with can actually do something about itWhining and not taking the right actions do
nothing to alleviate problems - so this summer get a camera for your motorcycle or helmet have a note pad and a pen in a tool pouch or jacket pocket and remember the information you take down and share with the right people will do some good if not today somewhere down the road
Thatrsquos whatrsquos on my mind today what are your thoughts on the topic of the Power of the People
Have a great day and if you are one of the lucky ones who is riding today please remember to ride like everyone around you is blind and cannot see you

Art amp The Motorcycle My Name Milton BeginMake Harley DavidsonYear 1993Title ldquoFresh Paint n Old LeatherrdquoArtist Jeremy Ferguson
The tragedy of the space shuttle Challenger is what gave me the idea of the paint scheme I knew I wanted to keep the blue color on the bike After all I as well as the people who know me have always referred to the bike as Olrsquo Blue Flames and skulls have been well overdone so it came to me scorched paint and steel Must have been what the shuttle was going thru for that split second in the early stage of re-entry
The bike was shipped out of Milwaukee in 1993 I rode it to Milwaukee in 2003 for the 100th Anniversary Ride Home Celebration for Harley Davidson Plans were made to ride it home again in 2013 for the 110th Anniversary Fresh paint was in order Hence the name Fresh Paint n Old Leather I have kept and still ride with the same leather for all too many years Although you canrsquot see many of the details in the picture Jeremy scratched in the dates after it was painted onto the bottom of the front fender It looks awesome because Jeremy is a talented individual
If I am able I will ride home again in 2023 The bike will undoubtedly make it

There is a time when the mind gleefully spins events amp memories into painful brutal tellings amp the tears dry upon your cheeks as fast as the wind can touch them leaving no trace

On the sixth day God turned to Archangel Gabriel and said Today
I am going to create a land called Canada It will be a land of outstanding natural beauty It shall have tall majestic mountains full of mountain goats and eagles beautiful sparkling lakes bountiful with bass and trout forests full of elk and moose high cliffs over-looking sandy beaches with an abundance of sea life and rivers stocked with salmon
God continued
I shall make the land rich in resources so as to make the inhabitants prosper I shall call these inhabitants Canadians and they shall be known as the most friendly people on the earth
But Lord asked Gabriel dont you think you are being too generous to these Canadians
Not really replied GodJust wait and see the winters I am going to give

While the boy and his father were watching with amazement a fat old lady in a wheel chair rolled up to the moving walls and pressed a button The walls opened and the lady rolled between them into a small room The walls closed and the boy and his father watched the small circular numbers above the walls light up sequentially They continued to watch until it reached the last number and then the numbers began to light in the reverse order Then the walls opened up again and a gorgeous voluptuous 24-year-old blonde woman stepped out The father not taking his eyes off the young woman said quietly to his son
Boy go git yo Momma
The Touch of a healerAn Irishman in a wheelchair entered a restaurant
one afternoon and asked the waitress for a cup of coffee The Irishman looked across the restaurant and asked Is that Jesus sitting over there The waitress nodded yes so the Irishman told her to give Jesus a cup of coffee on him
The next patron to come in was an Englishman with a hunched back He shuffled over to a booth painfully sat down and asked for a cup of hot tea He also glanced across the restaurant and asked Is that Jesus over there The waitress nodded so the Englishman said to give Jesus a cup of hot tea my treat
The third patron to come into the restaurant was a Redneck on crutches He hobbled over to a booth sat down and hollered Hey there sweet thang Hows about gettin me a cold glass of Coke He too looked across the restaurant and asked Is that
Gods boy over there The waitress once again nodded that it was so the Redneck said to give Jesus a cold glass of Coke on my bill
As Jesus got up to leave he passed by the Irishman touched him and said For your kindness you are healed The Irishman felt the strength come back to his legs got up and danced a jig right out the door
Jesus also passed by the Englishman touched him and said For your kindness you are healed The Englishman felt his back straightening up and he raised his hands praised the Lord and did a series of back flips out the door
Then Jesus walked up to the Redneck
The Redneck jumped up and yelled ldquoDonrsquot touch me Irsquom drawinrsquo disabilityrdquo
The most important thing for all motorcycle riders and vehicle drivers in Saskatchewan right now is standing-up and getting YOUR voice heardhellipand COUNTED
When it comes to the Saskatchewan Rate Review process each and every voice matters no matter how big no matter how small Every voice every opinion matters Use this process to make YOUR VOICE COUNT BEFORE April 28 2014 After thathellipit is too late
RAGE is here to continue what we started so successfully last year To continue to lobby SGI and the Provincial Government to put real and long-term public policy forward to end the continuous cycle of rate increases being implemented to
cover up escalating high-risk driving behaviour in Saskatchewan In a nutshell to stop just raising rates and not much else
If you parked a vehicle on the street downtown (any type of vehicle) and just left it there till it caused an accident How long would it take for that vehicle to be at-fault for causing one That is if it wasnrsquot stolen or vandalized first
Now if a person comes along gets into that same vehicle and drives off looking at their cellphone and texting How long
If it is a motorcycle and a person who just wrote their learners with zero experience (other than maybe a ride around the block) comes along gets on and rides off into traffic How long
The great thing about what we are putting forward is that it addresses ALL driver behavior Not vehicles but those who drive them ALL of us
You as a motorcycle and vehicle owner need to be speaking up this yearhellipin Saskatchewan you are more than likely both Making sure YOUR voice
Stand Up and Be Counted

This will allow RAGE to have a strong voice when it comes to the Personal Injury Insurance Review happening later this year Remember YOUR ldquoa-la-carterdquo recommendation has been approved by government
To continue to fight for mandatory safety training (Yes RAGE has always wanted this to be mandatory)
To continue to work with SGI on the things they are already implementing as a result of RAGE and ALL YOUR VOICES
YOUR VOICEno matter what your messageMATTERS to RAGE
Without all YOUR voicesindividuallyeach counting as 1UNITED into manyhellipSGI will simply not listen
Since the 1980rsquos and up until last yearvery few voices were raised to be counted during the Rate Review Process SGI pretty much did what they wantedthen last year BAM
For years SGI shut out anyone any group many efforts by the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel and the Provincial Government for any changeswhyNO UNITED VOICES Yes they brought in the 3 year MGDL in 2011 However they didnrsquot work with the groups involved past initial consultations SGI came to their own conclusions (no one could agree) and implemented what they
wanted SGI then stopped returning calls and continued to increase rates in 2012 and 2013
Even the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel has had difficulty getting the information they need from SGI to make informed decisions
Is it little wonder that the Minister Responsible for SGI felt she didnrsquot have to listen to the ldquosuggestionrdquo of the Rate Review Panel After all they never really had in previous years
Hammering us with another 15 increase could have been meant to knock us off our motorcycles and give up After all that hard workhellipand yet another increase Irsquom betting they expected us to cry in our coffee about how unfair they are about how they just do want they want anyway how we should just privatize and then do nothing more than that
Now that might have workedhellipin the past That is until last year the first time since the 1980rsquos when RAGE worked hard to organize YOUR voices YOU each used your own voices You each counted Then RAGE presented a proposal that took EACH ONE and MADE THEM COUNT as a UNITED VOICE
Then we did the unthinkablehellipWE STAYED We werenrsquot just there for 3 meetings WE
were 100 ALL INhellipFOR YOU To make sure YOUR VOICES continued to count RAGE continued to work with SGI on the wording for the recommendations put forward providing information for awareness sharing the ldquoCount Your Motorcyclerdquo game and much more
When it comes right down to it YOUR opinions and comments should matter to YOU IT does not matter if you donrsquot agree with the overall message of RAGE or your local riding club group
association coffee groupwhatever WHAT MATTERSis YOU getting YOUR VOICE
heard YOU canrsquot leave it up to everyone else You canrsquot assume anyone else is going to do this for YOU WE ALL MUST FIGHT
The worst thing you can do is nothing THAT is even worse than complaining and doing nothing Complaincomplain to your hearts contentto the Sask Rate Review Panel
THEN go have coffeeIf you canrsquot make it to the meeting in person
please at the very least contact the Rate Review Panel with YOUR voice
Each of our own voices count as 1 in this processjust as the voice of RAGE only counts as 1 We know SGI only listens when there are MANY following a UNITED theme

After a magnificent breakfast I started loading up my bike and it wasnrsquot long before the gang arrived to come take me sightseeing
Our first stop of the day after topping up our tanks was at the look out of Lac Saint Jean
From here you truly get a sense of how immense this lake is
We took some time to admire the view and chat about the plans for the rest of the day
Our next stop was to be the Camp Musical a purely French speaking musical camp for students to come and immerse themselves in the culture of the region and the music that is their passion
The camp has numerous housing units and the most incredible concert hall The Raymond Tremblay concert hall has 320 seats 2 piano rooms a bistro terrace and exhibition hall The Egyptian goddess Hathor is symbolized here and she represents happiness joy and music
The acoustics even when you are just speaking
well stunning would be the word to describe the sound quality
Everything about this 40-year-old institute screams creativity We went up to the gazebo on the observation deck and took in the panorama Breathtakingly beautiful you can see why this region inspires music and lyrics
After our tour of the camp was done we headed out towards the Village Historique Val-Jalbert Canadarsquos BEST preserved Ghost Town I couldnrsquot wait
The ride from the Camp Musical to Val-Jalbert which is just northwest of Chambord took about 30 minutes It was a wee bit overcast but the temperature was perfect for riding
When we arrived at Val-Jalbert we headed into the gorgeous visitor information centre and were assigned a tour guide named Michelle Pelletier Michelle turned out to be an amazing tour guide
She spoke in both French and English easily and made all of us feel so welcome

Saturday May 31st 2014 830 am Rain date June 1st rain or shine
We got in an electric cart and began our tour with Michelle telling us about the history of this town and why it is such a significant tourism and historical attraction
You see this town was the dream of one man Damase Jalbert He was the founder of the Ouiatchouan Pulp Company that built a pulp mill
here The town he founded for his employees started out as Saint-Georges-de-Ouiatchouan named for the river and the falls that powered the mill The name was changed to Val-Jalbert in 1913 in honor of the man whose dream it was
Damase wanted to build the best company town and provide his employees with a rarified quality of living
He died suddenly three years after opening the mill The mill faced a cash shortage and was bought by American shareholders in 1904 In 1909 the Chicoutimi Pulp Company bought it
From 1909 to 1922 the village flourished and was the envy of many surrounding communities
The company town offered employees electricity and running water in their homes a good 25 years before anyone else in Quebec had power
In 1923 the demand for mechanical pulp began to fall and by 1924 most of the workers had been laid off
On August 13th 1927 all operations ceased and over the next few years the village became abandoned
In 1942 the government took the property back for non-payment of taxes and in 1970 Val-Jalbert had new life breathed into it as a tourist attraction In recent years the government of Quebec has spent 19+ million dollars to upgrade and improve the visitors information centre put in a glass observation deck and a whole host of other improvements
Val-Jalbert must have been the most amazing town in the region in its day because this place is utterly amazing today The Quebec government has spent a lot of money and time restoring this
place to preserve the history and they have done an incredible job
Our first stop on the tour was the convent school where we met ldquoMother Superiorrdquo who took us through the school and answered our questions She was stern but I think there was a glint of mischief in her eyes as she ldquodisciplinedrdquo us on proper etiquette
There was the most amazing art display in
one room and in another the historical timeline of the residents of Val-Jalbert to take in The antiques and furnishings truly made you feel you were stuck in a time warp
After touring the school we headed towards the post office The ldquopostmistressrdquo was this chatty little gal that had us peeing ourselves we were laughing so hard It was pretty cool to see the old stamps and the various bits of equipment of the day
We walked up the street to take a tour of the restored duplexes that line the main street You have to see these places to truly appreciate them Imagine 1910 and you can flip a switch and have lights turn a tap and have water flush a toilet and not have to walk to the outhouse
These company houses were so well built and the people who lived here were fiercely loyal to the company that treated them so well
From the duplexes we went to the general store where we ran into the ldquoMayorrdquo the only person in town to have a car The general store offers up everything a visitor could need plus acts as a museum with lots of interesting period pieces on display
Michelle had gotten keys to show us the duplexes that have been upgraded and make up the 4 star accommodations offered here
We walked across the street and were taken to view to the most amazing hotel rooms
Rustic and yet modern these rooms are spacious well appointed and every one of them has unique little shadow boxes filled with antiques
All of the modern appliances Internet boxes and TV are all hidden in closets so that they are not visible It makes for a very appealing deacutecor
Although the rooms appear to only have one bed in the matter of a few moments Michelle had the
couch taken apart and the bed folded down out of the wall for a second bed
The bathrooms are absolute marvels with big tubs and glass showers
The parking for the hotel rooms is hidden behind a row of trees so that there is no real visual of anything modern on the face of things
From the hotel rooms we got back in the electric cart and headed towards the ldquoruinsrdquo Although many of the duplexes have been restored Michelle explained to us that the style of construction for the company houses had been changed and that
the newer houses had collapsed on themselves Some of the buildings are slated for restoration but many are too far-gone The streets they line are preserved so that one can walk by the ruins and get a feel for how large this town really was and how well laid out it was
Our next stop was the Mill Impressive is a good word to describe this place We had our lunch in the Old Mill Restaurant The food served here complimented the
atmosphere ndash IMPECCABLEThe chef Carl Murray has a great reputation that
he totally lives up toThe service
the food the atmosphere and the company were all top drawer
After our fabulous meal it was time to head to the tram and go experience the waterfalls
The ride up to the top gives you the most magnificent view of the region The Ouiatchouan Falls are some 65 feet higher than the Niagara Falls
and the power of them is palpable The rushing water is almost deafening as you walk out on to the glass observation deck
From the falls we walked down to the mill again and took in the most impressive interactive show I have ever experienced In the underbelly of the once abandoned mill amongst all of the monster gearing and shafts the lights go dim you feel the mist in the air and all of a sudden the walls become alive with characters from the original town and they take you through the historical timeline of the village and its people
It is absolutely captivating you become totally involved in the lives and the hardship of the villagers
The show signaled the end of our tour and Michelle took us back to the visitor information centre and sent us all off with gifts of blueberry jam and blueberry tea to remember our visit by
My bike had been acting up off and on and I had been keeping an eye out on a leak coming from the front of the engine The noise from the shifter region was becoming louder but I wasnrsquot experiencing any power loss so I kept an ear out and we kept riding
Our next stop was at the Cheddar Cheese Museum in Saint-Prime where a sweet young man took us on a tour
He showed us the old-fashioned way cheddar cheese was made and then we got to tour the museum portion of the factory 4 generations of the family Perron have made cheddar cheese here
The museum has over 650 artifacts that involve the familyrsquos history in cheese making including the stamps and other machinery used in exporting the cheese
The Cheddar Cheese Museum offers interactive displays and hosts several workshops on the art of making cheddar Upstairs you can view the family home of the Perronrsquos and see all of the period specific furnishings
Along with guided tours you can also sample the various types of cheddar cheese which we did and oh my I have never tasted cheddar that was so smooth and rich
After thanking our young guide for the fabulous tour we headed off
We stopped at Tim Hortonrsquos for a coffee and sitting out on the curb in front of my bike I could see the leak was getting worse I was very concerned and asked if there was a shop nearby where I could at least check the oil level in my primary
Rejean talked to one of the local riders Denis AKA Tarte au Sucre (Sweet Pie) and he took us to Carl Tremblayrsquos shop Carl is a mechanic that many here swear by His rates are far cheaper than the dealerships and every rider in the region says hersquos a guru He took the primary apart and sure
enough discovered that the compensating sprocket was dead and the stator was leaking With parts ordered and Rejeanrsquos wife going to the Harley shop to pick them up Francine Lynne Rejean and Denis rode me to my hotel the Motel Chutes des Pegraveres in Dolbeau-Mistassini My gear and luggage was distributed over three of the four bikes
By the time we got in it was dark and everyone had to head home I enjoyed a wonderful steak for supper and then headed off to my beautiful room and after a boiling hot pounding shower I climbed into the queen-sized bed and with the sound of the falls lulling me to sleep
And thatrsquos where I will leave you until next weekhellipBelt Drive Betty

1 - Yoursquoll Become a Better DriverTherersquos no doubt that riding a motorcycle has its
benefits especially when it comes to driving a car Riding a motorcycle teaches you to look out for people who are trying to kill you yoursquoll see hazards sooner and yoursquoll end up with Ninja-like machine control So when it comes to driving yoursquoll put all that to work and be a cut above the rest Hopefully
2 - Everyone Wants To Talk To YouIt really doesnrsquot matter what kind of motorcycle
you ride yoursquoll find middle-aged men stare at you and your bike with a dreamy lust before giving you an unwanted compliment Chances are theyrsquoll have no idea what the bike is either
Choose a classic or even worse a modern classic and yoursquoll become a magnet for old men who have the knack of being able to have a conversation with you without you needing to add any input Yoursquoll reach for your helmet on more than one occasion but not be able to put in on and leave because theyrsquoll ask you a question when you try Yoursquoll be subjected to questions about your
bike that you donrsquot know the answer to or even care about
The conversation will go something like this Is that a Triumph I had a Triumph once (followed by 10 minutes of ldquoback in my day rdquo)
3 - When You Say Yoursquore A Biker This Is The First Image That
Comes To Peoplehellip
5 Things They Never Told You About Becoming A Bikerby Robert Whaley NW Ontario Motorcycling
You could be a nice guy you could have something that resembles a career you could do the occasional BBQ it doesnrsquot matter When you mention to anyone at a party that yoursquove got a motorcycle a picture of this guy will pop into their head Then as you explain that you donrsquot ride a cruiser and yoursquove got a sportsbike theyrsquoll just think yoursquore speaking Greek and will reevaluate you as some sort of nut job who tries to kill himself on the highways Itrsquos a no-win
4 - Bees and Other Flying Things Will Start To Scare You
Anything flying will scare you When yoursquore sitting around at a family BBQ and everyone starts going mental the moment a bee or a wasp arrives on the scene you sit there perfectly calm and wonder what all the fuss is about
However - when yoursquore on a bike itrsquos a different story There you are riding along on a nice sunny day with your visor up enjoying the countryside and the winding road in front of you
Then you spot it 50 metres away a large insect looks like its stopped going about its daily business and itrsquos homing in at you instead Before you can do anything about it it goes THHHHHWAP right on your cheek Close but luckily it didnrsquot get you in the eye Then you panic the little bastardrsquos still in your helmet You insert a clumsy leather-clad finger and try and flick whatever it is away but probably end up pissing it off even further Then you crank on the brakes and perform the worldrsquos fastest lid removal followed by a little bit of a flappy-armed dance
5 - You Canrsquot Figure Out Who To Wave ToWhen you get a motorcycle you become part of a
club Itrsquos a club no biker really talks about but yoursquore in it now and yoursquore not allowed to leave Ever When you first pass your test yoursquoll wave at anyone and everyone If yoursquore heading down a road and a dog looks at you the right way yoursquoll probably wave at him too
Unfortunately this will change There are no set rules as to how it will change but yoursquoll end up developing your own code Me I wave at everyone dogs too and donrsquot give a second thought to the riders that donrsquot wave back But thatrsquos just me Yoursquoll have to work out your own code
Breaking is one of the most important things that you will learn to do on a motorcycle When we first learn to ride we are taught techniques to protect ourselves from crashing such as breaking shifting and countersteering But generally the most effective way to avoid an accident is through proper use of the brakes
The rear brake in particular is probably one of the least understood controls on a motorcycle Many riders donrsquot use the rear brake at all claiming that it doesnrsquot actually aid in slowing down or stopping the bike and say that it locks up the rear tire when trying to use it In fact most experts agree that a balanced use of both the front and rear brake is the most effective way of slowing or stopping a motorcycle
The rear brake also plays a huge role in adding stability to the bike when maneuvering
Because of the weight distribution on a motorcycle the braking balance of stopping power between the front and rear is 70 on the front and 30 on the rear This should tell you that if you donrsquot use the rear brake at all you are loosing 30 of the potential stopping power on your bike This could become a critical factor if you find yourself in trouble and have to try
and avoid an accident
Why does the rear brake lock up Well once again it has to do with weight distribution When you find yourself in a braking situation and start applying the brakes the geometry of the bike changes (due partly to the suspension) and much of the total weight (bike + rider) is transferred to the front This allows the rider to apply much more front brake than rear brake (the 7030 ratio)
Learning the finer points of your bikersquos braking performance is the key to keeping your bike in control It is a good idea to explore those limits in a safe environment
Practice repeated stops in an abandoned parking lot and yoursquoll start to get a feel for the amount of
effort that triggers tire slippage or rear tire lock-up
Try stopping with your front brake only then rear only and then a combination of both Once you become more familiar with your bikersquos brakes the sensations of weight transfer will start to feel more apparent and familiar That way yoursquoll be much more aware of the limits of your bike and yoursquoll be much better prepared in stopping

CAV To Hold AGM During ATLANTICADE (Summerside PE)
ndash The relationship started off by accident back in 2007 in
Moncton during the inaugural Atlanticade eventldquoI saw these guys who were hanging around
together with CAV crests on their vests and didnrsquot really know who they wererdquo says Dale Hicks festival founder and chairman Hicks began to connect the dots on the final day when the closing parade ended at the local veteranrsquos health care center and the CAV riders were very engaged with the vets ldquoSo I starting asking ndash who are these guys and what does CAV stand forrdquo
That was over seven years ago and now the relationship between Atlanticade and the Canadian Army Veterans is as strong a bond as you will find anywhere in the world of motorcycle events
ldquoOnce we became aware of who the CAV group was and what they represented I said well this group reflects the best of what it means to be Canadian so we certainly wanted to build a relationship with themrdquo recalls Hicks
Since then CAV has played a significant role in some form or fashion at each Atlanticade event The festival now has a
ldquoSupport the Troopsrdquo activity incorporated into the schedule each year where CAV plays a lead role In addition CAV will also be found leading parades such as the Confederation Bridge Cruise and the Parade of Iron Horses
In fact in 2011 Hicks was surprised and honored to be presented with an
honorary membership into the CAV organization at the closing awards breakfast at the Algonquin Hotel in St Andrews
ldquoYeah they caught me off guard with that and I certainly was humbled and honored by to be presented the crest by Trapperrdquo says Hicks ldquoI donrsquot feel worthy of wearing the crest but I do sport it proudly at certain times during Atlanticaderdquo
The unique bond between the two organizations continues for the upcoming 8th annual festival being held in Summerside PEI from June 27th to

(Atlanticade chairman Dale Hicks had just presented Trapper Cane with the annual ldquoExperienced Rider Awardrdquo
when Cane turned the tables by presenting Hicks with his honorary CAV membership during the 2011 event)
July 1st Recenty CAV founder Paul (Trapper) Cane announced the grouprsquos annual general meeting will take place in Summerside in conjunction with Atlanticade
ldquoAtlanticade brings great energy to all riders and our CAV members certainly appreciate the extra efforts put forth by Dalersquos team to give us some profile at the eventrdquo says Cane ldquoNo doubt it has been a great relationship between the two organizations and we hope it continues well into the futurerdquo
For his part Hicks says that Atlanticade is very proud to be able to host the CAV ndash AGM as part of the 2014 festival ldquoWe always have a good turnout of CAV members at our event but this will mean an additional boost in participants from across the country We hope we can make it a little special for them and something they will remember years down the roadrdquo

and take a step up Pretty soon everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted offAnd the moral ishellip Life is going to shovel dirt on you all kinds of dirt The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up Each of our troubles is a steppingstone We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping never giving up Shake it off and take a step up

Art amp The Motorcycle My Name Milton BeginMake Harley DavidsonYear 1993Title ldquoFresh Paint n Old LeatherrdquoArtist Jeremy Ferguson
The tragedy of the space shuttle Challenger is what gave me the idea of the paint scheme I knew I wanted to keep the blue color on the bike After all I as well as the people who know me have always referred to the bike as Olrsquo Blue Flames and skulls have been well overdone so it came to me scorched paint and steel Must have been what the shuttle was going thru for that split second in the early stage of re-entry
The bike was shipped out of Milwaukee in 1993 I rode it to Milwaukee in 2003 for the 100th Anniversary Ride Home Celebration for Harley Davidson Plans were made to ride it home again in 2013 for the 110th Anniversary Fresh paint was in order Hence the name Fresh Paint n Old Leather I have kept and still ride with the same leather for all too many years Although you canrsquot see many of the details in the picture Jeremy scratched in the dates after it was painted onto the bottom of the front fender It looks awesome because Jeremy is a talented individual
If I am able I will ride home again in 2023 The bike will undoubtedly make it

Light travels faster than sound This is why some people appear
No idea quite Where you are exactly nor do you know where yet you need to be
You feel as tossed as tumultuously as leaves in the wind
Your thoughts are as
turbulent amp dangerous as the moods of a teenagerYou are almost certain you are going in an
aimless direction with your eyes closed but your hands refuse to relinquish their grips
There is a time when the mind gleefully spins events amp memories into painful brutal tellings amp the tears dry upon your cheeks as fast as the wind can touch them leaving no trace
This is the time when intelligent rationale simply fails amp pure raw emotion takes over
Coherent thought is impossibleSpeech is non-existentThe primal need to fight- flee or fuck has kicked

On the sixth day God turned to Archangel Gabriel and said Today
I am going to create a land called Canada It will be a land of outstanding natural beauty It shall have tall majestic mountains full of mountain goats and eagles beautiful sparkling lakes bountiful with bass and trout forests full of elk and moose high cliffs over-looking sandy beaches with an abundance of sea life and rivers stocked with salmon
God continued
I shall make the land rich in resources so as to make the inhabitants prosper I shall call these inhabitants Canadians and they shall be known as the most friendly people on the earth
But Lord asked Gabriel dont you think you are being too generous to these Canadians
Not really replied GodJust wait and see the winters I am going to give

While the boy and his father were watching with amazement a fat old lady in a wheel chair rolled up to the moving walls and pressed a button The walls opened and the lady rolled between them into a small room The walls closed and the boy and his father watched the small circular numbers above the walls light up sequentially They continued to watch until it reached the last number and then the numbers began to light in the reverse order Then the walls opened up again and a gorgeous voluptuous 24-year-old blonde woman stepped out The father not taking his eyes off the young woman said quietly to his son

The Touch of a healerAn Irishman in a wheelchair entered a restaurant
one afternoon and asked the waitress for a cup of coffee The Irishman looked across the restaurant and asked Is that Jesus sitting over there The waitress nodded yes so the Irishman told her to give Jesus a cup of coffee on him
The next patron to come in was an Englishman with a hunched back He shuffled over to a booth painfully sat down and asked for a cup of hot tea He also glanced across the restaurant and asked Is that Jesus over there The waitress nodded so the Englishman said to give Jesus a cup of hot tea my treat
The third patron to come into the restaurant was a Redneck on crutches He hobbled over to a booth sat down and hollered Hey there sweet thang Hows about gettin me a cold glass of Coke He too looked across the restaurant and asked Is that
Gods boy over there The waitress once again nodded that it was so the Redneck said to give Jesus a cold glass of Coke on my bill
As Jesus got up to leave he passed by the Irishman touched him and said For your kindness you are healed The Irishman felt the strength come back to his legs got up and danced a jig right out the door
Jesus also passed by the Englishman touched him and said For your kindness you are healed The Englishman felt his back straightening up and he raised his hands praised the Lord and did a series of back flips out the door
Then Jesus walked up to the Redneck
The Redneck jumped up and yelled ldquoDonrsquot touch me Irsquom drawinrsquo disabilityrdquo
The most important thing for all motorcycle riders and vehicle drivers in Saskatchewan right now is standing-up and getting YOUR voice heardhellipand COUNTED
When it comes to the Saskatchewan Rate Review process each and every voice matters no matter how big no matter how small Every voice every opinion matters Use this process to make YOUR VOICE COUNT BEFORE April 28 2014 After thathellipit is too late
RAGE is here to continue what we started so successfully last year To continue to lobby SGI and the Provincial Government to put real and long-term public policy forward to end the continuous cycle of rate increases being implemented to
cover up escalating high-risk driving behaviour in Saskatchewan In a nutshell to stop just raising rates and not much else
If you parked a vehicle on the street downtown (any type of vehicle) and just left it there till it caused an accident How long would it take for that vehicle to be at-fault for causing one That is if it wasnrsquot stolen or vandalized first
Now if a person comes along gets into that same vehicle and drives off looking at their cellphone and texting How long
If it is a motorcycle and a person who just wrote their learners with zero experience (other than maybe a ride around the block) comes along gets on and rides off into traffic How long
The great thing about what we are putting forward is that it addresses ALL driver behavior Not vehicles but those who drive them ALL of us
You as a motorcycle and vehicle owner need to be speaking up this yearhellipin Saskatchewan you are more than likely both Making sure YOUR voice
Stand Up and Be Counted

To book an appointment or find out more about the BodyTalk System call
gets counted To stop the endless cycle of just raising rates with not much else
This will allow RAGE to have a strong voice when it comes to the Personal Injury Insurance Review happening later this year Remember YOUR ldquoa-la-carterdquo recommendation has been approved by government
To continue to fight for mandatory safety training (Yes RAGE has always wanted this to be mandatory)
To continue to work with SGI on the things they are already implementing as a result of RAGE and ALL YOUR VOICES
YOUR VOICEno matter what your messageMATTERS to RAGE
Without all YOUR voicesindividuallyeach counting as 1UNITED into manyhellipSGI will simply not listen
Since the 1980rsquos and up until last yearvery few voices were raised to be counted during the Rate Review Process SGI pretty much did what they wantedthen last year BAM
For years SGI shut out anyone any group many efforts by the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel and the Provincial Government for any changeswhyNO UNITED VOICES Yes they brought in the 3 year MGDL in 2011 However they didnrsquot work with the groups involved past initial consultations SGI came to their own conclusions (no one could agree) and implemented what they
wanted SGI then stopped returning calls and continued to increase rates in 2012 and 2013
Even the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel has had difficulty getting the information they need from SGI to make informed decisions
Is it little wonder that the Minister Responsible for SGI felt she didnrsquot have to listen to the ldquosuggestionrdquo of the Rate Review Panel After all they never really had in previous years
Hammering us with another 15 increase could have been meant to knock us off our motorcycles and give up After all that hard workhellipand yet another increase Irsquom betting they expected us to cry in our coffee about how unfair they are about how they just do want they want anyway how we should just privatize and then do nothing more than that
Now that might have workedhellipin the past That is until last year the first time since the 1980rsquos when RAGE worked hard to organize YOUR voices YOU each used your own voices You each counted Then RAGE presented a proposal that took EACH ONE and MADE THEM COUNT as a UNITED VOICE
Then we did the unthinkablehellipWE STAYED We werenrsquot just there for 3 meetings WE
were 100 ALL INhellipFOR YOU To make sure YOUR VOICES continued to count RAGE continued to work with SGI on the wording for the recommendations put forward providing information for awareness sharing the ldquoCount Your Motorcyclerdquo game and much more
When it comes right down to it YOUR opinions and comments should matter to YOU IT does not matter if you donrsquot agree with the overall message of RAGE or your local riding club group
association coffee groupwhatever WHAT MATTERSis YOU getting YOUR VOICE
heard YOU canrsquot leave it up to everyone else You canrsquot assume anyone else is going to do this for YOU WE ALL MUST FIGHT
The worst thing you can do is nothing THAT is even worse than complaining and doing nothing Complaincomplain to your hearts contentto the Sask Rate Review Panel
THEN go have coffeeIf you canrsquot make it to the meeting in person
please at the very least contact the Rate Review Panel with YOUR voice
Each of our own voices count as 1 in this processjust as the voice of RAGE only counts as 1 We know SGI only listens when there are MANY following a UNITED theme
YOU can get YOUR voice heardand COUNTEDby submitting your comments regarding the application by April 28 2014 using any of the following methods

After a magnificent breakfast I started loading up my bike and it wasnrsquot long before the gang arrived to come take me sightseeing
Our first stop of the day after topping up our tanks was at the look out of Lac Saint Jean
From here you truly get a sense of how immense this lake is
We took some time to admire the view and chat about the plans for the rest of the day
Our next stop was to be the Camp Musical a purely French speaking musical camp for students to come and immerse themselves in the culture of the region and the music that is their passion
The camp has numerous housing units and the most incredible concert hall The Raymond Tremblay concert hall has 320 seats 2 piano rooms a bistro terrace and exhibition hall The Egyptian goddess Hathor is symbolized here and she represents happiness joy and music
The acoustics even when you are just speaking
well stunning would be the word to describe the sound quality
Everything about this 40-year-old institute screams creativity We went up to the gazebo on the observation deck and took in the panorama Breathtakingly beautiful you can see why this region inspires music and lyrics
After our tour of the camp was done we headed out towards the Village Historique Val-Jalbert Canadarsquos BEST preserved Ghost Town I couldnrsquot wait
The ride from the Camp Musical to Val-Jalbert which is just northwest of Chambord took about 30 minutes It was a wee bit overcast but the temperature was perfect for riding
When we arrived at Val-Jalbert we headed into the gorgeous visitor information centre and were assigned a tour guide named Michelle Pelletier Michelle turned out to be an amazing tour guide
She spoke in both French and English easily and made all of us feel so welcome

Saturday May 31st 2014 830 am Rain date June 1st rain or shine
We got in an electric cart and began our tour with Michelle telling us about the history of this town and why it is such a significant tourism and historical attraction
You see this town was the dream of one man Damase Jalbert He was the founder of the Ouiatchouan Pulp Company that built a pulp mill
here The town he founded for his employees started out as Saint-Georges-de-Ouiatchouan named for the river and the falls that powered the mill The name was changed to Val-Jalbert in 1913 in honor of the man whose dream it was
Damase wanted to build the best company town and provide his employees with a rarified quality of living
He died suddenly three years after opening the mill The mill faced a cash shortage and was bought by American shareholders in 1904 In 1909 the Chicoutimi Pulp Company bought it
From 1909 to 1922 the village flourished and was the envy of many surrounding communities
The company town offered employees electricity and running water in their homes a good 25 years before anyone else in Quebec had power
In 1923 the demand for mechanical pulp began to fall and by 1924 most of the workers had been laid off
On August 13th 1927 all operations ceased and over the next few years the village became abandoned
In 1942 the government took the property back for non-payment of taxes and in 1970 Val-Jalbert had new life breathed into it as a tourist attraction In recent years the government of Quebec has spent 19+ million dollars to upgrade and improve the visitors information centre put in a glass observation deck and a whole host of other improvements
Val-Jalbert must have been the most amazing town in the region in its day because this place is utterly amazing today The Quebec government has spent a lot of money and time restoring this
place to preserve the history and they have done an incredible job
Our first stop on the tour was the convent school where we met ldquoMother Superiorrdquo who took us through the school and answered our questions She was stern but I think there was a glint of mischief in her eyes as she ldquodisciplinedrdquo us on proper etiquette
There was the most amazing art display in
one room and in another the historical timeline of the residents of Val-Jalbert to take in The antiques and furnishings truly made you feel you were stuck in a time warp
After touring the school we headed towards the post office The ldquopostmistressrdquo was this chatty little gal that had us peeing ourselves we were laughing so hard It was pretty cool to see the old stamps and the various bits of equipment of the day
We walked up the street to take a tour of the restored duplexes that line the main street You have to see these places to truly appreciate them Imagine 1910 and you can flip a switch and have lights turn a tap and have water flush a toilet and not have to walk to the outhouse
These company houses were so well built and the people who lived here were fiercely loyal to the company that treated them so well
From the duplexes we went to the general store where we ran into the ldquoMayorrdquo the only person in town to have a car The general store offers up everything a visitor could need plus acts as a museum with lots of interesting period pieces on display
Michelle had gotten keys to show us the duplexes that have been upgraded and make up the 4 star accommodations offered here
We walked across the street and were taken to view to the most amazing hotel rooms
Rustic and yet modern these rooms are spacious well appointed and every one of them has unique little shadow boxes filled with antiques
All of the modern appliances Internet boxes and TV are all hidden in closets so that they are not visible It makes for a very appealing deacutecor
Although the rooms appear to only have one bed in the matter of a few moments Michelle had the
couch taken apart and the bed folded down out of the wall for a second bed
The bathrooms are absolute marvels with big tubs and glass showers
The parking for the hotel rooms is hidden behind a row of trees so that there is no real visual of anything modern on the face of things
From the hotel rooms we got back in the electric cart and headed towards the ldquoruinsrdquo Although many of the duplexes have been restored Michelle explained to us that the style of construction for the company houses had been changed and that
the newer houses had collapsed on themselves Some of the buildings are slated for restoration but many are too far-gone The streets they line are preserved so that one can walk by the ruins and get a feel for how large this town really was and how well laid out it was
Our next stop was the Mill Impressive is a good word to describe this place We had our lunch in the Old Mill Restaurant The food served here complimented the
atmosphere ndash IMPECCABLEThe chef Carl Murray has a great reputation that
he totally lives up toThe service
the food the atmosphere and the company were all top drawer
After our fabulous meal it was time to head to the tram and go experience the waterfalls
The ride up to the top gives you the most magnificent view of the region The Ouiatchouan Falls are some 65 feet higher than the Niagara Falls
and the power of them is palpable The rushing water is almost deafening as you walk out on to the glass observation deck
From the falls we walked down to the mill again and took in the most impressive interactive show I have ever experienced In the underbelly of the once abandoned mill amongst all of the monster gearing and shafts the lights go dim you feel the mist in the air and all of a sudden the walls become alive with characters from the original town and they take you through the historical timeline of the village and its people
It is absolutely captivating you become totally involved in the lives and the hardship of the villagers
The show signaled the end of our tour and Michelle took us back to the visitor information centre and sent us all off with gifts of blueberry jam and blueberry tea to remember our visit by
My bike had been acting up off and on and I had been keeping an eye out on a leak coming from the front of the engine The noise from the shifter region was becoming louder but I wasnrsquot experiencing any power loss so I kept an ear out and we kept riding
Our next stop was at the Cheddar Cheese Museum in Saint-Prime where a sweet young man took us on a tour
He showed us the old-fashioned way cheddar cheese was made and then we got to tour the museum portion of the factory 4 generations of the family Perron have made cheddar cheese here
The museum has over 650 artifacts that involve the familyrsquos history in cheese making including the stamps and other machinery used in exporting the cheese
The Cheddar Cheese Museum offers interactive displays and hosts several workshops on the art of making cheddar Upstairs you can view the family home of the Perronrsquos and see all of the period specific furnishings
Along with guided tours you can also sample the various types of cheddar cheese which we did and oh my I have never tasted cheddar that was so smooth and rich
After thanking our young guide for the fabulous tour we headed off
We stopped at Tim Hortonrsquos for a coffee and sitting out on the curb in front of my bike I could see the leak was getting worse I was very concerned and asked if there was a shop nearby where I could at least check the oil level in my primary
Rejean talked to one of the local riders Denis AKA Tarte au Sucre (Sweet Pie) and he took us to Carl Tremblayrsquos shop Carl is a mechanic that many here swear by His rates are far cheaper than the dealerships and every rider in the region says hersquos a guru He took the primary apart and sure
enough discovered that the compensating sprocket was dead and the stator was leaking With parts ordered and Rejeanrsquos wife going to the Harley shop to pick them up Francine Lynne Rejean and Denis rode me to my hotel the Motel Chutes des Pegraveres in Dolbeau-Mistassini My gear and luggage was distributed over three of the four bikes
By the time we got in it was dark and everyone had to head home I enjoyed a wonderful steak for supper and then headed off to my beautiful room and after a boiling hot pounding shower I climbed into the queen-sized bed and with the sound of the falls lulling me to sleep
And thatrsquos where I will leave you until next weekhellipBelt Drive Betty

1 - Yoursquoll Become a Better DriverTherersquos no doubt that riding a motorcycle has its
benefits especially when it comes to driving a car Riding a motorcycle teaches you to look out for people who are trying to kill you yoursquoll see hazards sooner and yoursquoll end up with Ninja-like machine control So when it comes to driving yoursquoll put all that to work and be a cut above the rest Hopefully
2 - Everyone Wants To Talk To YouIt really doesnrsquot matter what kind of motorcycle
you ride yoursquoll find middle-aged men stare at you and your bike with a dreamy lust before giving you an unwanted compliment Chances are theyrsquoll have no idea what the bike is either
Choose a classic or even worse a modern classic and yoursquoll become a magnet for old men who have the knack of being able to have a conversation with you without you needing to add any input Yoursquoll reach for your helmet on more than one occasion but not be able to put in on and leave because theyrsquoll ask you a question when you try Yoursquoll be subjected to questions about your
bike that you donrsquot know the answer to or even care about
The conversation will go something like this Is that a Triumph I had a Triumph once (followed by 10 minutes of ldquoback in my day rdquo)
3 - When You Say Yoursquore A Biker This Is The First Image That
Comes To Peoplehellip
5 Things They Never Told You About Becoming A Bikerby Robert Whaley NW Ontario Motorcycling
You could be a nice guy you could have something that resembles a career you could do the occasional BBQ it doesnrsquot matter When you mention to anyone at a party that yoursquove got a motorcycle a picture of this guy will pop into their head Then as you explain that you donrsquot ride a cruiser and yoursquove got a sportsbike theyrsquoll just think yoursquore speaking Greek and will reevaluate you as some sort of nut job who tries to kill himself on the highways Itrsquos a no-win
4 - Bees and Other Flying Things Will Start To Scare You
Anything flying will scare you When yoursquore sitting around at a family BBQ and everyone starts going mental the moment a bee or a wasp arrives on the scene you sit there perfectly calm and wonder what all the fuss is about
However - when yoursquore on a bike itrsquos a different story There you are riding along on a nice sunny day with your visor up enjoying the countryside and the winding road in front of you
Then you spot it 50 metres away a large insect looks like its stopped going about its daily business and itrsquos homing in at you instead Before you can do anything about it it goes THHHHHWAP right on your cheek Close but luckily it didnrsquot get you in the eye Then you panic the little bastardrsquos still in your helmet You insert a clumsy leather-clad finger and try and flick whatever it is away but probably end up pissing it off even further Then you crank on the brakes and perform the worldrsquos fastest lid removal followed by a little bit of a flappy-armed dance
5 - You Canrsquot Figure Out Who To Wave ToWhen you get a motorcycle you become part of a
club Itrsquos a club no biker really talks about but yoursquore in it now and yoursquore not allowed to leave Ever When you first pass your test yoursquoll wave at anyone and everyone If yoursquore heading down a road and a dog looks at you the right way yoursquoll probably wave at him too
Unfortunately this will change There are no set rules as to how it will change but yoursquoll end up developing your own code Me I wave at everyone dogs too and donrsquot give a second thought to the riders that donrsquot wave back But thatrsquos just me Yoursquoll have to work out your own code
Breaking is one of the most important things that you will learn to do on a motorcycle When we first learn to ride we are taught techniques to protect ourselves from crashing such as breaking shifting and countersteering But generally the most effective way to avoid an accident is through proper use of the brakes
The rear brake in particular is probably one of the least understood controls on a motorcycle Many riders donrsquot use the rear brake at all claiming that it doesnrsquot actually aid in slowing down or stopping the bike and say that it locks up the rear tire when trying to use it In fact most experts agree that a balanced use of both the front and rear brake is the most effective way of slowing or stopping a motorcycle
The rear brake also plays a huge role in adding stability to the bike when maneuvering
Because of the weight distribution on a motorcycle the braking balance of stopping power between the front and rear is 70 on the front and 30 on the rear This should tell you that if you donrsquot use the rear brake at all you are loosing 30 of the potential stopping power on your bike This could become a critical factor if you find yourself in trouble and have to try
and avoid an accident
Why does the rear brake lock up Well once again it has to do with weight distribution When you find yourself in a braking situation and start applying the brakes the geometry of the bike changes (due partly to the suspension) and much of the total weight (bike + rider) is transferred to the front This allows the rider to apply much more front brake than rear brake (the 7030 ratio)
Learning the finer points of your bikersquos braking performance is the key to keeping your bike in control It is a good idea to explore those limits in a safe environment
Practice repeated stops in an abandoned parking lot and yoursquoll start to get a feel for the amount of
effort that triggers tire slippage or rear tire lock-up
Try stopping with your front brake only then rear only and then a combination of both Once you become more familiar with your bikersquos brakes the sensations of weight transfer will start to feel more apparent and familiar That way yoursquoll be much more aware of the limits of your bike and yoursquoll be much better prepared in stopping

CAV To Hold AGM During ATLANTICADE (Summerside PE)
ndash The relationship started off by accident back in 2007 in
Moncton during the inaugural Atlanticade eventldquoI saw these guys who were hanging around
together with CAV crests on their vests and didnrsquot really know who they wererdquo says Dale Hicks festival founder and chairman Hicks began to connect the dots on the final day when the closing parade ended at the local veteranrsquos health care center and the CAV riders were very engaged with the vets ldquoSo I starting asking ndash who are these guys and what does CAV stand forrdquo
That was over seven years ago and now the relationship between Atlanticade and the Canadian Army Veterans is as strong a bond as you will find anywhere in the world of motorcycle events
ldquoOnce we became aware of who the CAV group was and what they represented I said well this group reflects the best of what it means to be Canadian so we certainly wanted to build a relationship with themrdquo recalls Hicks
Since then CAV has played a significant role in some form or fashion at each Atlanticade event The festival now has a
ldquoSupport the Troopsrdquo activity incorporated into the schedule each year where CAV plays a lead role In addition CAV will also be found leading parades such as the Confederation Bridge Cruise and the Parade of Iron Horses
In fact in 2011 Hicks was surprised and honored to be presented with an
honorary membership into the CAV organization at the closing awards breakfast at the Algonquin Hotel in St Andrews
ldquoYeah they caught me off guard with that and I certainly was humbled and honored by to be presented the crest by Trapperrdquo says Hicks ldquoI donrsquot feel worthy of wearing the crest but I do sport it proudly at certain times during Atlanticaderdquo
The unique bond between the two organizations continues for the upcoming 8th annual festival being held in Summerside PEI from June 27th to
Continued Next Page
(Atlanticade chairman Dale Hicks had just presented Trapper Cane with the annual ldquoExperienced Rider Awardrdquo
when Cane turned the tables by presenting Hicks with his honorary CAV membership during the 2011 event)
July 1st Recenty CAV founder Paul (Trapper) Cane announced the grouprsquos annual general meeting will take place in Summerside in conjunction with Atlanticade
ldquoAtlanticade brings great energy to all riders and our CAV members certainly appreciate the extra efforts put forth by Dalersquos team to give us some profile at the eventrdquo says Cane ldquoNo doubt it has been a great relationship between the two organizations and we hope it continues well into the futurerdquo
For his part Hicks says that Atlanticade is very proud to be able to host the CAV ndash AGM as part of the 2014 festival ldquoWe always have a good turnout of CAV members at our event but this will mean an additional boost in participants from across the country We hope we can make it a little special for them and something they will remember years down the roadrdquo

Light travels faster than sound This is why some people appear
No idea quite Where you are exactly nor do you know where yet you need to be
You feel as tossed as tumultuously as leaves in the wind
Your thoughts are as
turbulent amp dangerous as the moods of a teenagerYou are almost certain you are going in an
aimless direction with your eyes closed but your hands refuse to relinquish their grips
There is a time when the mind gleefully spins events amp memories into painful brutal tellings amp the tears dry upon your cheeks as fast as the wind can touch them leaving no trace
This is the time when intelligent rationale simply fails amp pure raw emotion takes over
Coherent thought is impossibleSpeech is non-existentThe primal need to fight- flee or fuck has kicked
into overdrive amp so with the flick of a thumb you opt for the fastest although not necessarily Wisest course of action amp race away from your demons at breakneck speed almost daring them to catch you
And the racechase is onMile after mile flashes past beneath you amp you
handle the bike as easily as breathing There are times when you ldquobecome onerdquo with it amp this is surely that time
It is pure sensation the adrenalin rush of exhilaration that isnrsquot noticed
The passage of time on a stopwatch held by the hands of the Gods
Death might ride a pale horse but you have a Harley
And yet at some point there is the indescribable

touch of some kind an unseen signal guiding you to ease back to finally hold on for a bit to regroup amp reconnect And once more you become aware of your surroundings the breath painful in your lungs your heart beating erratically amp you look around at unfamiliar space amp give your head a shakethis is indeed the road less travelled
You climb off the bike amp stretch for a moment amp look skyward as
if to say thank you for surviving such a foolish loss of control You smile as you gratefully appreciate your surroundings amp you acknowledge that this too is something else you have lived through amp are perhaps a bit stronger for it Certainly wiser Hopefully not stupid enough to repeat
And as you throw a leg over amp slide back on you find yourself asking Spirit in whatever form you perceive it to be to guide your wheels home again
And calmer more at peace you expect that This ride you intend to not only remember but enjoy

On the sixth day God turned to Archangel Gabriel and said Today
I am going to create a land called Canada It will be a land of outstanding natural beauty It shall have tall majestic mountains full of mountain goats and eagles beautiful sparkling lakes bountiful with bass and trout forests full of elk and moose high cliffs over-looking sandy beaches with an abundance of sea life and rivers stocked with salmon
God continued
I shall make the land rich in resources so as to make the inhabitants prosper I shall call these inhabitants Canadians and they shall be known as the most friendly people on the earth
But Lord asked Gabriel dont you think you are being too generous to these Canadians
Not really replied GodJust wait and see the winters I am going to give

move apart and then slide back together again The boy asked Paw Whats at The father (never having seen an elevator) responded Son I dunno I aint never seen anything like that in my entire life I aint got no idear what it is
While the boy and his father were watching with amazement a fat old lady in a wheel chair rolled up to the moving walls and pressed a button The walls opened and the lady rolled between them into a small room The walls closed and the boy and his father watched the small circular numbers above the walls light up sequentially They continued to watch until it reached the last number and then the numbers began to light in the reverse order Then the walls opened up again and a gorgeous voluptuous 24-year-old blonde woman stepped out The father not taking his eyes off the young woman said quietly to his son

The Touch of a healerAn Irishman in a wheelchair entered a restaurant
one afternoon and asked the waitress for a cup of coffee The Irishman looked across the restaurant and asked Is that Jesus sitting over there The waitress nodded yes so the Irishman told her to give Jesus a cup of coffee on him
The next patron to come in was an Englishman with a hunched back He shuffled over to a booth painfully sat down and asked for a cup of hot tea He also glanced across the restaurant and asked Is that Jesus over there The waitress nodded so the Englishman said to give Jesus a cup of hot tea my treat
The third patron to come into the restaurant was a Redneck on crutches He hobbled over to a booth sat down and hollered Hey there sweet thang Hows about gettin me a cold glass of Coke He too looked across the restaurant and asked Is that
Gods boy over there The waitress once again nodded that it was so the Redneck said to give Jesus a cold glass of Coke on my bill
As Jesus got up to leave he passed by the Irishman touched him and said For your kindness you are healed The Irishman felt the strength come back to his legs got up and danced a jig right out the door
Jesus also passed by the Englishman touched him and said For your kindness you are healed The Englishman felt his back straightening up and he raised his hands praised the Lord and did a series of back flips out the door
Then Jesus walked up to the Redneck
The Redneck jumped up and yelled ldquoDonrsquot touch me Irsquom drawinrsquo disabilityrdquo
The most important thing for all motorcycle riders and vehicle drivers in Saskatchewan right now is standing-up and getting YOUR voice heardhellipand COUNTED
When it comes to the Saskatchewan Rate Review process each and every voice matters no matter how big no matter how small Every voice every opinion matters Use this process to make YOUR VOICE COUNT BEFORE April 28 2014 After thathellipit is too late
RAGE is here to continue what we started so successfully last year To continue to lobby SGI and the Provincial Government to put real and long-term public policy forward to end the continuous cycle of rate increases being implemented to
cover up escalating high-risk driving behaviour in Saskatchewan In a nutshell to stop just raising rates and not much else
If you parked a vehicle on the street downtown (any type of vehicle) and just left it there till it caused an accident How long would it take for that vehicle to be at-fault for causing one That is if it wasnrsquot stolen or vandalized first
Now if a person comes along gets into that same vehicle and drives off looking at their cellphone and texting How long
If it is a motorcycle and a person who just wrote their learners with zero experience (other than maybe a ride around the block) comes along gets on and rides off into traffic How long
The great thing about what we are putting forward is that it addresses ALL driver behavior Not vehicles but those who drive them ALL of us
You as a motorcycle and vehicle owner need to be speaking up this yearhellipin Saskatchewan you are more than likely both Making sure YOUR voice
Stand Up and Be Counted

To book an appointment or find out more about the BodyTalk System call
gets counted To stop the endless cycle of just raising rates with not much else
This will allow RAGE to have a strong voice when it comes to the Personal Injury Insurance Review happening later this year Remember YOUR ldquoa-la-carterdquo recommendation has been approved by government
To continue to fight for mandatory safety training (Yes RAGE has always wanted this to be mandatory)
To continue to work with SGI on the things they are already implementing as a result of RAGE and ALL YOUR VOICES
YOUR VOICEno matter what your messageMATTERS to RAGE
Without all YOUR voicesindividuallyeach counting as 1UNITED into manyhellipSGI will simply not listen
Since the 1980rsquos and up until last yearvery few voices were raised to be counted during the Rate Review Process SGI pretty much did what they wantedthen last year BAM
For years SGI shut out anyone any group many efforts by the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel and the Provincial Government for any changeswhyNO UNITED VOICES Yes they brought in the 3 year MGDL in 2011 However they didnrsquot work with the groups involved past initial consultations SGI came to their own conclusions (no one could agree) and implemented what they
wanted SGI then stopped returning calls and continued to increase rates in 2012 and 2013
Even the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel has had difficulty getting the information they need from SGI to make informed decisions
Is it little wonder that the Minister Responsible for SGI felt she didnrsquot have to listen to the ldquosuggestionrdquo of the Rate Review Panel After all they never really had in previous years
Hammering us with another 15 increase could have been meant to knock us off our motorcycles and give up After all that hard workhellipand yet another increase Irsquom betting they expected us to cry in our coffee about how unfair they are about how they just do want they want anyway how we should just privatize and then do nothing more than that
Now that might have workedhellipin the past That is until last year the first time since the 1980rsquos when RAGE worked hard to organize YOUR voices YOU each used your own voices You each counted Then RAGE presented a proposal that took EACH ONE and MADE THEM COUNT as a UNITED VOICE
Then we did the unthinkablehellipWE STAYED We werenrsquot just there for 3 meetings WE
were 100 ALL INhellipFOR YOU To make sure YOUR VOICES continued to count RAGE continued to work with SGI on the wording for the recommendations put forward providing information for awareness sharing the ldquoCount Your Motorcyclerdquo game and much more
When it comes right down to it YOUR opinions and comments should matter to YOU IT does not matter if you donrsquot agree with the overall message of RAGE or your local riding club group
association coffee groupwhatever WHAT MATTERSis YOU getting YOUR VOICE
heard YOU canrsquot leave it up to everyone else You canrsquot assume anyone else is going to do this for YOU WE ALL MUST FIGHT
The worst thing you can do is nothing THAT is even worse than complaining and doing nothing Complaincomplain to your hearts contentto the Sask Rate Review Panel
THEN go have coffeeIf you canrsquot make it to the meeting in person
please at the very least contact the Rate Review Panel with YOUR voice
Each of our own voices count as 1 in this processjust as the voice of RAGE only counts as 1 We know SGI only listens when there are MANY following a UNITED theme
YOU can get YOUR voice heardand COUNTEDby submitting your comments regarding the application by April 28 2014 using any of the following methods

After a magnificent breakfast I started loading up my bike and it wasnrsquot long before the gang arrived to come take me sightseeing
Our first stop of the day after topping up our tanks was at the look out of Lac Saint Jean
From here you truly get a sense of how immense this lake is
We took some time to admire the view and chat about the plans for the rest of the day
Our next stop was to be the Camp Musical a purely French speaking musical camp for students to come and immerse themselves in the culture of the region and the music that is their passion
The camp has numerous housing units and the most incredible concert hall The Raymond Tremblay concert hall has 320 seats 2 piano rooms a bistro terrace and exhibition hall The Egyptian goddess Hathor is symbolized here and she represents happiness joy and music
The acoustics even when you are just speaking
well stunning would be the word to describe the sound quality
Everything about this 40-year-old institute screams creativity We went up to the gazebo on the observation deck and took in the panorama Breathtakingly beautiful you can see why this region inspires music and lyrics
After our tour of the camp was done we headed out towards the Village Historique Val-Jalbert Canadarsquos BEST preserved Ghost Town I couldnrsquot wait
The ride from the Camp Musical to Val-Jalbert which is just northwest of Chambord took about 30 minutes It was a wee bit overcast but the temperature was perfect for riding
When we arrived at Val-Jalbert we headed into the gorgeous visitor information centre and were assigned a tour guide named Michelle Pelletier Michelle turned out to be an amazing tour guide
She spoke in both French and English easily and made all of us feel so welcome

Saturday May 31st 2014 830 am Rain date June 1st rain or shine
We got in an electric cart and began our tour with Michelle telling us about the history of this town and why it is such a significant tourism and historical attraction
You see this town was the dream of one man Damase Jalbert He was the founder of the Ouiatchouan Pulp Company that built a pulp mill
here The town he founded for his employees started out as Saint-Georges-de-Ouiatchouan named for the river and the falls that powered the mill The name was changed to Val-Jalbert in 1913 in honor of the man whose dream it was
Damase wanted to build the best company town and provide his employees with a rarified quality of living
He died suddenly three years after opening the mill The mill faced a cash shortage and was bought by American shareholders in 1904 In 1909 the Chicoutimi Pulp Company bought it
From 1909 to 1922 the village flourished and was the envy of many surrounding communities
The company town offered employees electricity and running water in their homes a good 25 years before anyone else in Quebec had power
In 1923 the demand for mechanical pulp began to fall and by 1924 most of the workers had been laid off
On August 13th 1927 all operations ceased and over the next few years the village became abandoned
In 1942 the government took the property back for non-payment of taxes and in 1970 Val-Jalbert had new life breathed into it as a tourist attraction In recent years the government of Quebec has spent 19+ million dollars to upgrade and improve the visitors information centre put in a glass observation deck and a whole host of other improvements
Val-Jalbert must have been the most amazing town in the region in its day because this place is utterly amazing today The Quebec government has spent a lot of money and time restoring this
place to preserve the history and they have done an incredible job
Our first stop on the tour was the convent school where we met ldquoMother Superiorrdquo who took us through the school and answered our questions She was stern but I think there was a glint of mischief in her eyes as she ldquodisciplinedrdquo us on proper etiquette
There was the most amazing art display in
one room and in another the historical timeline of the residents of Val-Jalbert to take in The antiques and furnishings truly made you feel you were stuck in a time warp
After touring the school we headed towards the post office The ldquopostmistressrdquo was this chatty little gal that had us peeing ourselves we were laughing so hard It was pretty cool to see the old stamps and the various bits of equipment of the day
We walked up the street to take a tour of the restored duplexes that line the main street You have to see these places to truly appreciate them Imagine 1910 and you can flip a switch and have lights turn a tap and have water flush a toilet and not have to walk to the outhouse
These company houses were so well built and the people who lived here were fiercely loyal to the company that treated them so well
From the duplexes we went to the general store where we ran into the ldquoMayorrdquo the only person in town to have a car The general store offers up everything a visitor could need plus acts as a museum with lots of interesting period pieces on display
Michelle had gotten keys to show us the duplexes that have been upgraded and make up the 4 star accommodations offered here
We walked across the street and were taken to view to the most amazing hotel rooms
Rustic and yet modern these rooms are spacious well appointed and every one of them has unique little shadow boxes filled with antiques
All of the modern appliances Internet boxes and TV are all hidden in closets so that they are not visible It makes for a very appealing deacutecor
Although the rooms appear to only have one bed in the matter of a few moments Michelle had the
couch taken apart and the bed folded down out of the wall for a second bed
The bathrooms are absolute marvels with big tubs and glass showers
The parking for the hotel rooms is hidden behind a row of trees so that there is no real visual of anything modern on the face of things
From the hotel rooms we got back in the electric cart and headed towards the ldquoruinsrdquo Although many of the duplexes have been restored Michelle explained to us that the style of construction for the company houses had been changed and that
the newer houses had collapsed on themselves Some of the buildings are slated for restoration but many are too far-gone The streets they line are preserved so that one can walk by the ruins and get a feel for how large this town really was and how well laid out it was
Our next stop was the Mill Impressive is a good word to describe this place We had our lunch in the Old Mill Restaurant The food served here complimented the
atmosphere ndash IMPECCABLEThe chef Carl Murray has a great reputation that
he totally lives up toThe service
the food the atmosphere and the company were all top drawer
After our fabulous meal it was time to head to the tram and go experience the waterfalls
The ride up to the top gives you the most magnificent view of the region The Ouiatchouan Falls are some 65 feet higher than the Niagara Falls
and the power of them is palpable The rushing water is almost deafening as you walk out on to the glass observation deck
From the falls we walked down to the mill again and took in the most impressive interactive show I have ever experienced In the underbelly of the once abandoned mill amongst all of the monster gearing and shafts the lights go dim you feel the mist in the air and all of a sudden the walls become alive with characters from the original town and they take you through the historical timeline of the village and its people
It is absolutely captivating you become totally involved in the lives and the hardship of the villagers
The show signaled the end of our tour and Michelle took us back to the visitor information centre and sent us all off with gifts of blueberry jam and blueberry tea to remember our visit by
My bike had been acting up off and on and I had been keeping an eye out on a leak coming from the front of the engine The noise from the shifter region was becoming louder but I wasnrsquot experiencing any power loss so I kept an ear out and we kept riding
Our next stop was at the Cheddar Cheese Museum in Saint-Prime where a sweet young man took us on a tour
He showed us the old-fashioned way cheddar cheese was made and then we got to tour the museum portion of the factory 4 generations of the family Perron have made cheddar cheese here
The museum has over 650 artifacts that involve the familyrsquos history in cheese making including the stamps and other machinery used in exporting the cheese
The Cheddar Cheese Museum offers interactive displays and hosts several workshops on the art of making cheddar Upstairs you can view the family home of the Perronrsquos and see all of the period specific furnishings
Along with guided tours you can also sample the various types of cheddar cheese which we did and oh my I have never tasted cheddar that was so smooth and rich
After thanking our young guide for the fabulous tour we headed off
We stopped at Tim Hortonrsquos for a coffee and sitting out on the curb in front of my bike I could see the leak was getting worse I was very concerned and asked if there was a shop nearby where I could at least check the oil level in my primary
Rejean talked to one of the local riders Denis AKA Tarte au Sucre (Sweet Pie) and he took us to Carl Tremblayrsquos shop Carl is a mechanic that many here swear by His rates are far cheaper than the dealerships and every rider in the region says hersquos a guru He took the primary apart and sure
enough discovered that the compensating sprocket was dead and the stator was leaking With parts ordered and Rejeanrsquos wife going to the Harley shop to pick them up Francine Lynne Rejean and Denis rode me to my hotel the Motel Chutes des Pegraveres in Dolbeau-Mistassini My gear and luggage was distributed over three of the four bikes
By the time we got in it was dark and everyone had to head home I enjoyed a wonderful steak for supper and then headed off to my beautiful room and after a boiling hot pounding shower I climbed into the queen-sized bed and with the sound of the falls lulling me to sleep

1 - Yoursquoll Become a Better DriverTherersquos no doubt that riding a motorcycle has its
benefits especially when it comes to driving a car Riding a motorcycle teaches you to look out for people who are trying to kill you yoursquoll see hazards sooner and yoursquoll end up with Ninja-like machine control So when it comes to driving yoursquoll put all that to work and be a cut above the rest Hopefully
2 - Everyone Wants To Talk To YouIt really doesnrsquot matter what kind of motorcycle
you ride yoursquoll find middle-aged men stare at you and your bike with a dreamy lust before giving you an unwanted compliment Chances are theyrsquoll have no idea what the bike is either
Choose a classic or even worse a modern classic and yoursquoll become a magnet for old men who have the knack of being able to have a conversation with you without you needing to add any input Yoursquoll reach for your helmet on more than one occasion but not be able to put in on and leave because theyrsquoll ask you a question when you try Yoursquoll be subjected to questions about your
bike that you donrsquot know the answer to or even care about
The conversation will go something like this Is that a Triumph I had a Triumph once (followed by 10 minutes of ldquoback in my day rdquo)
3 - When You Say Yoursquore A Biker This Is The First Image That
Comes To Peoplehellip
5 Things They Never Told You About Becoming A Bikerby Robert Whaley NW Ontario Motorcycling
You could be a nice guy you could have something that resembles a career you could do the occasional BBQ it doesnrsquot matter When you mention to anyone at a party that yoursquove got a motorcycle a picture of this guy will pop into their head Then as you explain that you donrsquot ride a cruiser and yoursquove got a sportsbike theyrsquoll just think yoursquore speaking Greek and will reevaluate you as some sort of nut job who tries to kill himself on the highways Itrsquos a no-win
4 - Bees and Other Flying Things Will Start To Scare You
Anything flying will scare you When yoursquore sitting around at a family BBQ and everyone starts going mental the moment a bee or a wasp arrives on the scene you sit there perfectly calm and wonder what all the fuss is about
However - when yoursquore on a bike itrsquos a different story There you are riding along on a nice sunny day with your visor up enjoying the countryside and the winding road in front of you
Then you spot it 50 metres away a large insect looks like its stopped going about its daily business and itrsquos homing in at you instead Before you can do anything about it it goes THHHHHWAP right on your cheek Close but luckily it didnrsquot get you in the eye Then you panic the little bastardrsquos still in your helmet You insert a clumsy leather-clad finger and try and flick whatever it is away but probably end up pissing it off even further Then you crank on the brakes and perform the worldrsquos fastest lid removal followed by a little bit of a flappy-armed dance
5 - You Canrsquot Figure Out Who To Wave ToWhen you get a motorcycle you become part of a
club Itrsquos a club no biker really talks about but yoursquore in it now and yoursquore not allowed to leave Ever When you first pass your test yoursquoll wave at anyone and everyone If yoursquore heading down a road and a dog looks at you the right way yoursquoll probably wave at him too
Unfortunately this will change There are no set rules as to how it will change but yoursquoll end up developing your own code Me I wave at everyone dogs too and donrsquot give a second thought to the riders that donrsquot wave back But thatrsquos just me Yoursquoll have to work out your own code
Breaking is one of the most important things that you will learn to do on a motorcycle When we first learn to ride we are taught techniques to protect ourselves from crashing such as breaking shifting and countersteering But generally the most effective way to avoid an accident is through proper use of the brakes
The rear brake in particular is probably one of the least understood controls on a motorcycle Many riders donrsquot use the rear brake at all claiming that it doesnrsquot actually aid in slowing down or stopping the bike and say that it locks up the rear tire when trying to use it In fact most experts agree that a balanced use of both the front and rear brake is the most effective way of slowing or stopping a motorcycle
The rear brake also plays a huge role in adding stability to the bike when maneuvering
Because of the weight distribution on a motorcycle the braking balance of stopping power between the front and rear is 70 on the front and 30 on the rear This should tell you that if you donrsquot use the rear brake at all you are loosing 30 of the potential stopping power on your bike This could become a critical factor if you find yourself in trouble and have to try
and avoid an accident
Why does the rear brake lock up Well once again it has to do with weight distribution When you find yourself in a braking situation and start applying the brakes the geometry of the bike changes (due partly to the suspension) and much of the total weight (bike + rider) is transferred to the front This allows the rider to apply much more front brake than rear brake (the 7030 ratio)
Learning the finer points of your bikersquos braking performance is the key to keeping your bike in control It is a good idea to explore those limits in a safe environment
Practice repeated stops in an abandoned parking lot and yoursquoll start to get a feel for the amount of
effort that triggers tire slippage or rear tire lock-up
Try stopping with your front brake only then rear only and then a combination of both Once you become more familiar with your bikersquos brakes the sensations of weight transfer will start to feel more apparent and familiar That way yoursquoll be much more aware of the limits of your bike and yoursquoll be much better prepared in stopping

CAV To Hold AGM During ATLANTICADE (Summerside PE)
ndash The relationship started off by accident back in 2007 in
Moncton during the inaugural Atlanticade eventldquoI saw these guys who were hanging around
together with CAV crests on their vests and didnrsquot really know who they wererdquo says Dale Hicks festival founder and chairman Hicks began to connect the dots on the final day when the closing parade ended at the local veteranrsquos health care center and the CAV riders were very engaged with the vets ldquoSo I starting asking ndash who are these guys and what does CAV stand forrdquo
That was over seven years ago and now the relationship between Atlanticade and the Canadian Army Veterans is as strong a bond as you will find anywhere in the world of motorcycle events
ldquoOnce we became aware of who the CAV group was and what they represented I said well this group reflects the best of what it means to be Canadian so we certainly wanted to build a relationship with themrdquo recalls Hicks
Since then CAV has played a significant role in some form or fashion at each Atlanticade event The festival now has a
ldquoSupport the Troopsrdquo activity incorporated into the schedule each year where CAV plays a lead role In addition CAV will also be found leading parades such as the Confederation Bridge Cruise and the Parade of Iron Horses
In fact in 2011 Hicks was surprised and honored to be presented with an
honorary membership into the CAV organization at the closing awards breakfast at the Algonquin Hotel in St Andrews
ldquoYeah they caught me off guard with that and I certainly was humbled and honored by to be presented the crest by Trapperrdquo says Hicks ldquoI donrsquot feel worthy of wearing the crest but I do sport it proudly at certain times during Atlanticaderdquo
The unique bond between the two organizations continues for the upcoming 8th annual festival being held in Summerside PEI from June 27th to

(Atlanticade chairman Dale Hicks had just presented Trapper Cane with the annual ldquoExperienced Rider Awardrdquo
when Cane turned the tables by presenting Hicks with his honorary CAV membership during the 2011 event)
July 1st Recenty CAV founder Paul (Trapper) Cane announced the grouprsquos annual general meeting will take place in Summerside in conjunction with Atlanticade
ldquoAtlanticade brings great energy to all riders and our CAV members certainly appreciate the extra efforts put forth by Dalersquos team to give us some profile at the eventrdquo says Cane ldquoNo doubt it has been a great relationship between the two organizations and we hope it continues well into the futurerdquo
For his part Hicks says that Atlanticade is very proud to be able to host the CAV ndash AGM as part of the 2014 festival ldquoWe always have a good turnout of CAV members at our event but this will mean an additional boost in participants from across the country We hope we can make it a little special for them and something they will remember years down the roadrdquo

and take a step up Pretty soon everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted offAnd the moral ishellip Life is going to shovel dirt on you all kinds of dirt The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up Each of our troubles is a steppingstone We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping never giving up Shake it off and take a step up

Light travels faster than sound This is why some people appear

You feel as tossed as tumultuously as leaves in the wind
Your thoughts are as
turbulent amp dangerous as the moods of a teenagerYou are almost certain you are going in an
aimless direction with your eyes closed but your hands refuse to relinquish their grips
There is a time when the mind gleefully spins events amp memories into painful brutal tellings amp the tears dry upon your cheeks as fast as the wind can touch them leaving no trace
This is the time when intelligent rationale simply fails amp pure raw emotion takes over

On the sixth day God turned to Archangel Gabriel and said Today
I am going to create a land called Canada It will be a land of outstanding natural beauty It shall have tall majestic mountains full of mountain goats and eagles beautiful sparkling lakes bountiful with bass and trout forests full of elk and moose high cliffs over-looking sandy beaches with an abundance of sea life and rivers stocked with salmon
God continued
I shall make the land rich in resources so as to make the inhabitants prosper I shall call these inhabitants Canadians and they shall be known as the most friendly people on the earth
But Lord asked Gabriel dont you think you are being too generous to these Canadians
Not really replied GodJust wait and see the winters I am going to give

While the boy and his father were watching with amazement a fat old lady in a wheel chair rolled up to the moving walls and pressed a button The walls opened and the lady rolled between them into a small room The walls closed and the boy and his father watched the small circular numbers above the walls light up sequentially They continued to watch until it reached the last number and then the numbers began to light in the reverse order Then the walls opened up again and a gorgeous voluptuous 24-year-old blonde woman stepped out The father not taking his eyes off the young woman said quietly to his son

The Touch of a healerAn Irishman in a wheelchair entered a restaurant
one afternoon and asked the waitress for a cup of coffee The Irishman looked across the restaurant and asked Is that Jesus sitting over there The waitress nodded yes so the Irishman told her to give Jesus a cup of coffee on him
The next patron to come in was an Englishman with a hunched back He shuffled over to a booth painfully sat down and asked for a cup of hot tea He also glanced across the restaurant and asked Is that Jesus over there The waitress nodded so the Englishman said to give Jesus a cup of hot tea my treat
The third patron to come into the restaurant was a Redneck on crutches He hobbled over to a booth sat down and hollered Hey there sweet thang Hows about gettin me a cold glass of Coke He too looked across the restaurant and asked Is that
Gods boy over there The waitress once again nodded that it was so the Redneck said to give Jesus a cold glass of Coke on my bill
As Jesus got up to leave he passed by the Irishman touched him and said For your kindness you are healed The Irishman felt the strength come back to his legs got up and danced a jig right out the door
Jesus also passed by the Englishman touched him and said For your kindness you are healed The Englishman felt his back straightening up and he raised his hands praised the Lord and did a series of back flips out the door
Then Jesus walked up to the Redneck
The Redneck jumped up and yelled ldquoDonrsquot touch me Irsquom drawinrsquo disabilityrdquo
The most important thing for all motorcycle riders and vehicle drivers in Saskatchewan right now is standing-up and getting YOUR voice heardhellipand COUNTED
When it comes to the Saskatchewan Rate Review process each and every voice matters no matter how big no matter how small Every voice every opinion matters Use this process to make YOUR VOICE COUNT BEFORE April 28 2014 After thathellipit is too late
RAGE is here to continue what we started so successfully last year To continue to lobby SGI and the Provincial Government to put real and long-term public policy forward to end the continuous cycle of rate increases being implemented to
cover up escalating high-risk driving behaviour in Saskatchewan In a nutshell to stop just raising rates and not much else
If you parked a vehicle on the street downtown (any type of vehicle) and just left it there till it caused an accident How long would it take for that vehicle to be at-fault for causing one That is if it wasnrsquot stolen or vandalized first
Now if a person comes along gets into that same vehicle and drives off looking at their cellphone and texting How long
If it is a motorcycle and a person who just wrote their learners with zero experience (other than maybe a ride around the block) comes along gets on and rides off into traffic How long
The great thing about what we are putting forward is that it addresses ALL driver behavior Not vehicles but those who drive them ALL of us
You as a motorcycle and vehicle owner need to be speaking up this yearhellipin Saskatchewan you are more than likely both Making sure YOUR voice
Stand Up and Be Counted

RAGE Dare to Know
What your body needs to heal itself
The BodyTalk Systemwith Practitioner Bev Groot
To book an appointment or find out more about the BodyTalk System call
gets counted To stop the endless cycle of just raising rates with not much else
This will allow RAGE to have a strong voice when it comes to the Personal Injury Insurance Review happening later this year Remember YOUR ldquoa-la-carterdquo recommendation has been approved by government
To continue to fight for mandatory safety training (Yes RAGE has always wanted this to be mandatory)
To continue to work with SGI on the things they are already implementing as a result of RAGE and ALL YOUR VOICES
YOUR VOICEno matter what your messageMATTERS to RAGE
Without all YOUR voicesindividuallyeach counting as 1UNITED into manyhellipSGI will simply not listen
Since the 1980rsquos and up until last yearvery few voices were raised to be counted during the Rate Review Process SGI pretty much did what they wantedthen last year BAM
For years SGI shut out anyone any group many efforts by the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel and the Provincial Government for any changeswhyNO UNITED VOICES Yes they brought in the 3 year MGDL in 2011 However they didnrsquot work with the groups involved past initial consultations SGI came to their own conclusions (no one could agree) and implemented what they
wanted SGI then stopped returning calls and continued to increase rates in 2012 and 2013
Even the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel has had difficulty getting the information they need from SGI to make informed decisions
Is it little wonder that the Minister Responsible for SGI felt she didnrsquot have to listen to the ldquosuggestionrdquo of the Rate Review Panel After all they never really had in previous years
Hammering us with another 15 increase could have been meant to knock us off our motorcycles and give up After all that hard workhellipand yet another increase Irsquom betting they expected us to cry in our coffee about how unfair they are about how they just do want they want anyway how we should just privatize and then do nothing more than that
Now that might have workedhellipin the past That is until last year the first time since the 1980rsquos when RAGE worked hard to organize YOUR voices YOU each used your own voices You each counted Then RAGE presented a proposal that took EACH ONE and MADE THEM COUNT as a UNITED VOICE
Then we did the unthinkablehellipWE STAYED We werenrsquot just there for 3 meetings WE
were 100 ALL INhellipFOR YOU To make sure YOUR VOICES continued to count RAGE continued to work with SGI on the wording for the recommendations put forward providing information for awareness sharing the ldquoCount Your Motorcyclerdquo game and much more
When it comes right down to it YOUR opinions and comments should matter to YOU IT does not matter if you donrsquot agree with the overall message of RAGE or your local riding club group
association coffee groupwhatever WHAT MATTERSis YOU getting YOUR VOICE
heard YOU canrsquot leave it up to everyone else You canrsquot assume anyone else is going to do this for YOU WE ALL MUST FIGHT
The worst thing you can do is nothing THAT is even worse than complaining and doing nothing Complaincomplain to your hearts contentto the Sask Rate Review Panel
THEN go have coffeeIf you canrsquot make it to the meeting in person
please at the very least contact the Rate Review Panel with YOUR voice
Each of our own voices count as 1 in this processjust as the voice of RAGE only counts as 1 We know SGI only listens when there are MANY following a UNITED theme
YOU can get YOUR voice heardand COUNTEDby submitting your comments regarding the application by April 28 2014 using any of the following methods

After a magnificent breakfast I started loading up my bike and it wasnrsquot long before the gang arrived to come take me sightseeing
Our first stop of the day after topping up our tanks was at the look out of Lac Saint Jean
From here you truly get a sense of how immense this lake is
We took some time to admire the view and chat about the plans for the rest of the day
Our next stop was to be the Camp Musical a purely French speaking musical camp for students to come and immerse themselves in the culture of the region and the music that is their passion
The camp has numerous housing units and the most incredible concert hall The Raymond Tremblay concert hall has 320 seats 2 piano rooms a bistro terrace and exhibition hall The Egyptian goddess Hathor is symbolized here and she represents happiness joy and music
The acoustics even when you are just speaking
well stunning would be the word to describe the sound quality
Everything about this 40-year-old institute screams creativity We went up to the gazebo on the observation deck and took in the panorama Breathtakingly beautiful you can see why this region inspires music and lyrics
After our tour of the camp was done we headed out towards the Village Historique Val-Jalbert Canadarsquos BEST preserved Ghost Town I couldnrsquot wait
The ride from the Camp Musical to Val-Jalbert which is just northwest of Chambord took about 30 minutes It was a wee bit overcast but the temperature was perfect for riding
When we arrived at Val-Jalbert we headed into the gorgeous visitor information centre and were assigned a tour guide named Michelle Pelletier Michelle turned out to be an amazing tour guide
She spoke in both French and English easily and made all of us feel so welcome

Saturday May 31st 2014 830 am Rain date June 1st rain or shine
We got in an electric cart and began our tour with Michelle telling us about the history of this town and why it is such a significant tourism and historical attraction
You see this town was the dream of one man Damase Jalbert He was the founder of the Ouiatchouan Pulp Company that built a pulp mill
here The town he founded for his employees started out as Saint-Georges-de-Ouiatchouan named for the river and the falls that powered the mill The name was changed to Val-Jalbert in 1913 in honor of the man whose dream it was
Damase wanted to build the best company town and provide his employees with a rarified quality of living
He died suddenly three years after opening the mill The mill faced a cash shortage and was bought by American shareholders in 1904 In 1909 the Chicoutimi Pulp Company bought it
From 1909 to 1922 the village flourished and was the envy of many surrounding communities
The company town offered employees electricity and running water in their homes a good 25 years before anyone else in Quebec had power
In 1923 the demand for mechanical pulp began to fall and by 1924 most of the workers had been laid off
On August 13th 1927 all operations ceased and over the next few years the village became abandoned
In 1942 the government took the property back for non-payment of taxes and in 1970 Val-Jalbert had new life breathed into it as a tourist attraction In recent years the government of Quebec has spent 19+ million dollars to upgrade and improve the visitors information centre put in a glass observation deck and a whole host of other improvements
Val-Jalbert must have been the most amazing town in the region in its day because this place is utterly amazing today The Quebec government has spent a lot of money and time restoring this
place to preserve the history and they have done an incredible job
Our first stop on the tour was the convent school where we met ldquoMother Superiorrdquo who took us through the school and answered our questions She was stern but I think there was a glint of mischief in her eyes as she ldquodisciplinedrdquo us on proper etiquette
There was the most amazing art display in
one room and in another the historical timeline of the residents of Val-Jalbert to take in The antiques and furnishings truly made you feel you were stuck in a time warp
After touring the school we headed towards the post office The ldquopostmistressrdquo was this chatty little gal that had us peeing ourselves we were laughing so hard It was pretty cool to see the old stamps and the various bits of equipment of the day
We walked up the street to take a tour of the restored duplexes that line the main street You have to see these places to truly appreciate them Imagine 1910 and you can flip a switch and have lights turn a tap and have water flush a toilet and not have to walk to the outhouse
These company houses were so well built and the people who lived here were fiercely loyal to the company that treated them so well
From the duplexes we went to the general store where we ran into the ldquoMayorrdquo the only person in town to have a car The general store offers up everything a visitor could need plus acts as a museum with lots of interesting period pieces on display
Michelle had gotten keys to show us the duplexes that have been upgraded and make up the 4 star accommodations offered here
We walked across the street and were taken to view to the most amazing hotel rooms
Rustic and yet modern these rooms are spacious well appointed and every one of them has unique little shadow boxes filled with antiques
All of the modern appliances Internet boxes and TV are all hidden in closets so that they are not visible It makes for a very appealing deacutecor
Although the rooms appear to only have one bed in the matter of a few moments Michelle had the
couch taken apart and the bed folded down out of the wall for a second bed
The bathrooms are absolute marvels with big tubs and glass showers
The parking for the hotel rooms is hidden behind a row of trees so that there is no real visual of anything modern on the face of things
From the hotel rooms we got back in the electric cart and headed towards the ldquoruinsrdquo Although many of the duplexes have been restored Michelle explained to us that the style of construction for the company houses had been changed and that
the newer houses had collapsed on themselves Some of the buildings are slated for restoration but many are too far-gone The streets they line are preserved so that one can walk by the ruins and get a feel for how large this town really was and how well laid out it was
Our next stop was the Mill Impressive is a good word to describe this place We had our lunch in the Old Mill Restaurant The food served here complimented the
atmosphere ndash IMPECCABLEThe chef Carl Murray has a great reputation that
he totally lives up toThe service
the food the atmosphere and the company were all top drawer
After our fabulous meal it was time to head to the tram and go experience the waterfalls
The ride up to the top gives you the most magnificent view of the region The Ouiatchouan Falls are some 65 feet higher than the Niagara Falls
and the power of them is palpable The rushing water is almost deafening as you walk out on to the glass observation deck
From the falls we walked down to the mill again and took in the most impressive interactive show I have ever experienced In the underbelly of the once abandoned mill amongst all of the monster gearing and shafts the lights go dim you feel the mist in the air and all of a sudden the walls become alive with characters from the original town and they take you through the historical timeline of the village and its people
It is absolutely captivating you become totally involved in the lives and the hardship of the villagers
The show signaled the end of our tour and Michelle took us back to the visitor information centre and sent us all off with gifts of blueberry jam and blueberry tea to remember our visit by
My bike had been acting up off and on and I had been keeping an eye out on a leak coming from the front of the engine The noise from the shifter region was becoming louder but I wasnrsquot experiencing any power loss so I kept an ear out and we kept riding
Our next stop was at the Cheddar Cheese Museum in Saint-Prime where a sweet young man took us on a tour
He showed us the old-fashioned way cheddar cheese was made and then we got to tour the museum portion of the factory 4 generations of the family Perron have made cheddar cheese here
The museum has over 650 artifacts that involve the familyrsquos history in cheese making including the stamps and other machinery used in exporting the cheese
The Cheddar Cheese Museum offers interactive displays and hosts several workshops on the art of making cheddar Upstairs you can view the family home of the Perronrsquos and see all of the period specific furnishings
Along with guided tours you can also sample the various types of cheddar cheese which we did and oh my I have never tasted cheddar that was so smooth and rich
After thanking our young guide for the fabulous tour we headed off
We stopped at Tim Hortonrsquos for a coffee and sitting out on the curb in front of my bike I could see the leak was getting worse I was very concerned and asked if there was a shop nearby where I could at least check the oil level in my primary
Rejean talked to one of the local riders Denis AKA Tarte au Sucre (Sweet Pie) and he took us to Carl Tremblayrsquos shop Carl is a mechanic that many here swear by His rates are far cheaper than the dealerships and every rider in the region says hersquos a guru He took the primary apart and sure
enough discovered that the compensating sprocket was dead and the stator was leaking With parts ordered and Rejeanrsquos wife going to the Harley shop to pick them up Francine Lynne Rejean and Denis rode me to my hotel the Motel Chutes des Pegraveres in Dolbeau-Mistassini My gear and luggage was distributed over three of the four bikes
By the time we got in it was dark and everyone had to head home I enjoyed a wonderful steak for supper and then headed off to my beautiful room and after a boiling hot pounding shower I climbed into the queen-sized bed and with the sound of the falls lulling me to sleep
And thatrsquos where I will leave you until next weekhellipBelt Drive Betty

1 - Yoursquoll Become a Better DriverTherersquos no doubt that riding a motorcycle has its
benefits especially when it comes to driving a car Riding a motorcycle teaches you to look out for people who are trying to kill you yoursquoll see hazards sooner and yoursquoll end up with Ninja-like machine control So when it comes to driving yoursquoll put all that to work and be a cut above the rest Hopefully
2 - Everyone Wants To Talk To YouIt really doesnrsquot matter what kind of motorcycle
you ride yoursquoll find middle-aged men stare at you and your bike with a dreamy lust before giving you an unwanted compliment Chances are theyrsquoll have no idea what the bike is either
Choose a classic or even worse a modern classic and yoursquoll become a magnet for old men who have the knack of being able to have a conversation with you without you needing to add any input Yoursquoll reach for your helmet on more than one occasion but not be able to put in on and leave because theyrsquoll ask you a question when you try Yoursquoll be subjected to questions about your
bike that you donrsquot know the answer to or even care about
The conversation will go something like this Is that a Triumph I had a Triumph once (followed by 10 minutes of ldquoback in my day rdquo)
3 - When You Say Yoursquore A Biker This Is The First Image That
Comes To Peoplehellip
5 Things They Never Told You About Becoming A Bikerby Robert Whaley NW Ontario Motorcycling
You could be a nice guy you could have something that resembles a career you could do the occasional BBQ it doesnrsquot matter When you mention to anyone at a party that yoursquove got a motorcycle a picture of this guy will pop into their head Then as you explain that you donrsquot ride a cruiser and yoursquove got a sportsbike theyrsquoll just think yoursquore speaking Greek and will reevaluate you as some sort of nut job who tries to kill himself on the highways Itrsquos a no-win
4 - Bees and Other Flying Things Will Start To Scare You
Anything flying will scare you When yoursquore sitting around at a family BBQ and everyone starts going mental the moment a bee or a wasp arrives on the scene you sit there perfectly calm and wonder what all the fuss is about
However - when yoursquore on a bike itrsquos a different story There you are riding along on a nice sunny day with your visor up enjoying the countryside and the winding road in front of you
Then you spot it 50 metres away a large insect looks like its stopped going about its daily business and itrsquos homing in at you instead Before you can do anything about it it goes THHHHHWAP right on your cheek Close but luckily it didnrsquot get you in the eye Then you panic the little bastardrsquos still in your helmet You insert a clumsy leather-clad finger and try and flick whatever it is away but probably end up pissing it off even further Then you crank on the brakes and perform the worldrsquos fastest lid removal followed by a little bit of a flappy-armed dance
5 - You Canrsquot Figure Out Who To Wave ToWhen you get a motorcycle you become part of a
club Itrsquos a club no biker really talks about but yoursquore in it now and yoursquore not allowed to leave Ever When you first pass your test yoursquoll wave at anyone and everyone If yoursquore heading down a road and a dog looks at you the right way yoursquoll probably wave at him too
Unfortunately this will change There are no set rules as to how it will change but yoursquoll end up developing your own code Me I wave at everyone dogs too and donrsquot give a second thought to the riders that donrsquot wave back But thatrsquos just me Yoursquoll have to work out your own code
Breaking is one of the most important things that you will learn to do on a motorcycle When we first learn to ride we are taught techniques to protect ourselves from crashing such as breaking shifting and countersteering But generally the most effective way to avoid an accident is through proper use of the brakes
The rear brake in particular is probably one of the least understood controls on a motorcycle Many riders donrsquot use the rear brake at all claiming that it doesnrsquot actually aid in slowing down or stopping the bike and say that it locks up the rear tire when trying to use it In fact most experts agree that a balanced use of both the front and rear brake is the most effective way of slowing or stopping a motorcycle
The rear brake also plays a huge role in adding stability to the bike when maneuvering
Because of the weight distribution on a motorcycle the braking balance of stopping power between the front and rear is 70 on the front and 30 on the rear This should tell you that if you donrsquot use the rear brake at all you are loosing 30 of the potential stopping power on your bike This could become a critical factor if you find yourself in trouble and have to try
and avoid an accident
Why does the rear brake lock up Well once again it has to do with weight distribution When you find yourself in a braking situation and start applying the brakes the geometry of the bike changes (due partly to the suspension) and much of the total weight (bike + rider) is transferred to the front This allows the rider to apply much more front brake than rear brake (the 7030 ratio)
Learning the finer points of your bikersquos braking performance is the key to keeping your bike in control It is a good idea to explore those limits in a safe environment
Practice repeated stops in an abandoned parking lot and yoursquoll start to get a feel for the amount of
effort that triggers tire slippage or rear tire lock-up
Try stopping with your front brake only then rear only and then a combination of both Once you become more familiar with your bikersquos brakes the sensations of weight transfer will start to feel more apparent and familiar That way yoursquoll be much more aware of the limits of your bike and yoursquoll be much better prepared in stopping

CAV To Hold AGM During ATLANTICADE (Summerside PE)
ndash The relationship started off by accident back in 2007 in
Moncton during the inaugural Atlanticade eventldquoI saw these guys who were hanging around
together with CAV crests on their vests and didnrsquot really know who they wererdquo says Dale Hicks festival founder and chairman Hicks began to connect the dots on the final day when the closing parade ended at the local veteranrsquos health care center and the CAV riders were very engaged with the vets ldquoSo I starting asking ndash who are these guys and what does CAV stand forrdquo
That was over seven years ago and now the relationship between Atlanticade and the Canadian Army Veterans is as strong a bond as you will find anywhere in the world of motorcycle events
ldquoOnce we became aware of who the CAV group was and what they represented I said well this group reflects the best of what it means to be Canadian so we certainly wanted to build a relationship with themrdquo recalls Hicks
Since then CAV has played a significant role in some form or fashion at each Atlanticade event The festival now has a
ldquoSupport the Troopsrdquo activity incorporated into the schedule each year where CAV plays a lead role In addition CAV will also be found leading parades such as the Confederation Bridge Cruise and the Parade of Iron Horses
In fact in 2011 Hicks was surprised and honored to be presented with an
honorary membership into the CAV organization at the closing awards breakfast at the Algonquin Hotel in St Andrews
ldquoYeah they caught me off guard with that and I certainly was humbled and honored by to be presented the crest by Trapperrdquo says Hicks ldquoI donrsquot feel worthy of wearing the crest but I do sport it proudly at certain times during Atlanticaderdquo
The unique bond between the two organizations continues for the upcoming 8th annual festival being held in Summerside PEI from June 27th to

(Atlanticade chairman Dale Hicks had just presented Trapper Cane with the annual ldquoExperienced Rider Awardrdquo
when Cane turned the tables by presenting Hicks with his honorary CAV membership during the 2011 event)
July 1st Recenty CAV founder Paul (Trapper) Cane announced the grouprsquos annual general meeting will take place in Summerside in conjunction with Atlanticade
ldquoAtlanticade brings great energy to all riders and our CAV members certainly appreciate the extra efforts put forth by Dalersquos team to give us some profile at the eventrdquo says Cane ldquoNo doubt it has been a great relationship between the two organizations and we hope it continues well into the futurerdquo
For his part Hicks says that Atlanticade is very proud to be able to host the CAV ndash AGM as part of the 2014 festival ldquoWe always have a good turnout of CAV members at our event but this will mean an additional boost in participants from across the country We hope we can make it a little special for them and something they will remember years down the roadrdquo

and take a step up Pretty soon everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted offAnd the moral ishellip Life is going to shovel dirt on you all kinds of dirt The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up Each of our troubles is a steppingstone We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping never giving up Shake it off and take a step up

Light travels faster than sound This is why some people appear
No idea quite Where you are exactly nor do you know where yet you need to be
You feel as tossed as tumultuously as leaves in the wind
Your thoughts are as
turbulent amp dangerous as the moods of a teenagerYou are almost certain you are going in an
aimless direction with your eyes closed but your hands refuse to relinquish their grips
There is a time when the mind gleefully spins events amp memories into painful brutal tellings amp the tears dry upon your cheeks as fast as the wind can touch them leaving no trace
This is the time when intelligent rationale simply fails amp pure raw emotion takes over
Coherent thought is impossibleSpeech is non-existentThe primal need to fight- flee or fuck has kicked
into overdrive amp so with the flick of a thumb you opt for the fastest although not necessarily Wisest course of action amp race away from your demons at breakneck speed almost daring them to catch you
And the racechase is onMile after mile flashes past beneath you amp you
handle the bike as easily as breathing There are times when you ldquobecome onerdquo with it amp this is surely that time
It is pure sensation the adrenalin rush of exhilaration that isnrsquot noticed
The passage of time on a stopwatch held by the hands of the Gods
Death might ride a pale horse but you have a Harley
And yet at some point there is the indescribable

On the sixth day God turned to Archangel Gabriel and said Today
I am going to create a land called Canada It will be a land of outstanding natural beauty It shall have tall majestic mountains full of mountain goats and eagles beautiful sparkling lakes bountiful with bass and trout forests full of elk and moose high cliffs over-looking sandy beaches with an abundance of sea life and rivers stocked with salmon
God continued
I shall make the land rich in resources so as to make the inhabitants prosper I shall call these inhabitants Canadians and they shall be known as the most friendly people on the earth
But Lord asked Gabriel dont you think you are being too generous to these Canadians
Not really replied GodJust wait and see the winters I am going to give

While the boy and his father were watching with amazement a fat old lady in a wheel chair rolled up to the moving walls and pressed a button The walls opened and the lady rolled between them into a small room The walls closed and the boy and his father watched the small circular numbers above the walls light up sequentially They continued to watch until it reached the last number and then the numbers began to light in the reverse order Then the walls opened up again and a gorgeous voluptuous 24-year-old blonde woman stepped out The father not taking his eyes off the young woman said quietly to his son

The Touch of a healerAn Irishman in a wheelchair entered a restaurant
one afternoon and asked the waitress for a cup of coffee The Irishman looked across the restaurant and asked Is that Jesus sitting over there The waitress nodded yes so the Irishman told her to give Jesus a cup of coffee on him
The next patron to come in was an Englishman with a hunched back He shuffled over to a booth painfully sat down and asked for a cup of hot tea He also glanced across the restaurant and asked Is that Jesus over there The waitress nodded so the Englishman said to give Jesus a cup of hot tea my treat
The third patron to come into the restaurant was a Redneck on crutches He hobbled over to a booth sat down and hollered Hey there sweet thang Hows about gettin me a cold glass of Coke He too looked across the restaurant and asked Is that
Gods boy over there The waitress once again nodded that it was so the Redneck said to give Jesus a cold glass of Coke on my bill
As Jesus got up to leave he passed by the Irishman touched him and said For your kindness you are healed The Irishman felt the strength come back to his legs got up and danced a jig right out the door
Jesus also passed by the Englishman touched him and said For your kindness you are healed The Englishman felt his back straightening up and he raised his hands praised the Lord and did a series of back flips out the door
Then Jesus walked up to the Redneck
The Redneck jumped up and yelled ldquoDonrsquot touch me Irsquom drawinrsquo disabilityrdquo
The most important thing for all motorcycle riders and vehicle drivers in Saskatchewan right now is standing-up and getting YOUR voice heardhellipand COUNTED
When it comes to the Saskatchewan Rate Review process each and every voice matters no matter how big no matter how small Every voice every opinion matters Use this process to make YOUR VOICE COUNT BEFORE April 28 2014 After thathellipit is too late
RAGE is here to continue what we started so successfully last year To continue to lobby SGI and the Provincial Government to put real and long-term public policy forward to end the continuous cycle of rate increases being implemented to
cover up escalating high-risk driving behaviour in Saskatchewan In a nutshell to stop just raising rates and not much else
If you parked a vehicle on the street downtown (any type of vehicle) and just left it there till it caused an accident How long would it take for that vehicle to be at-fault for causing one That is if it wasnrsquot stolen or vandalized first
Now if a person comes along gets into that same vehicle and drives off looking at their cellphone and texting How long
If it is a motorcycle and a person who just wrote their learners with zero experience (other than maybe a ride around the block) comes along gets on and rides off into traffic How long
The great thing about what we are putting forward is that it addresses ALL driver behavior Not vehicles but those who drive them ALL of us
You as a motorcycle and vehicle owner need to be speaking up this yearhellipin Saskatchewan you are more than likely both Making sure YOUR voice
Stand Up and Be Counted

RAGE Dare to Know

To book an appointment or find out more about the BodyTalk System call
gets counted To stop the endless cycle of just raising rates with not much else
This will allow RAGE to have a strong voice when it comes to the Personal Injury Insurance Review happening later this year Remember YOUR ldquoa-la-carterdquo recommendation has been approved by government
To continue to fight for mandatory safety training (Yes RAGE has always wanted this to be mandatory)
To continue to work with SGI on the things they are already implementing as a result of RAGE and ALL YOUR VOICES
YOUR VOICEno matter what your messageMATTERS to RAGE
Without all YOUR voicesindividuallyeach counting as 1UNITED into manyhellipSGI will simply not listen
Since the 1980rsquos and up until last yearvery few voices were raised to be counted during the Rate Review Process SGI pretty much did what they wantedthen last year BAM
For years SGI shut out anyone any group many efforts by the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel and the Provincial Government for any changeswhyNO UNITED VOICES Yes they brought in the 3 year MGDL in 2011 However they didnrsquot work with the groups involved past initial consultations SGI came to their own conclusions (no one could agree) and implemented what they
wanted SGI then stopped returning calls and continued to increase rates in 2012 and 2013
Even the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel has had difficulty getting the information they need from SGI to make informed decisions
Is it little wonder that the Minister Responsible for SGI felt she didnrsquot have to listen to the ldquosuggestionrdquo of the Rate Review Panel After all they never really had in previous years
Hammering us with another 15 increase could have been meant to knock us off our motorcycles and give up After all that hard workhellipand yet another increase Irsquom betting they expected us to cry in our coffee about how unfair they are about how they just do want they want anyway how we should just privatize and then do nothing more than that
Now that might have workedhellipin the past That is until last year the first time since the 1980rsquos when RAGE worked hard to organize YOUR voices YOU each used your own voices You each counted Then RAGE presented a proposal that took EACH ONE and MADE THEM COUNT as a UNITED VOICE
Then we did the unthinkablehellipWE STAYED We werenrsquot just there for 3 meetings WE
were 100 ALL INhellipFOR YOU To make sure YOUR VOICES continued to count RAGE continued to work with SGI on the wording for the recommendations put forward providing information for awareness sharing the ldquoCount Your Motorcyclerdquo game and much more
When it comes right down to it YOUR opinions and comments should matter to YOU IT does not matter if you donrsquot agree with the overall message of RAGE or your local riding club group
association coffee groupwhatever WHAT MATTERSis YOU getting YOUR VOICE
heard YOU canrsquot leave it up to everyone else You canrsquot assume anyone else is going to do this for YOU WE ALL MUST FIGHT
The worst thing you can do is nothing THAT is even worse than complaining and doing nothing Complaincomplain to your hearts contentto the Sask Rate Review Panel
THEN go have coffeeIf you canrsquot make it to the meeting in person
please at the very least contact the Rate Review Panel with YOUR voice
Each of our own voices count as 1 in this processjust as the voice of RAGE only counts as 1 We know SGI only listens when there are MANY following a UNITED theme
YOU can get YOUR voice heardand COUNTEDby submitting your comments regarding the application by April 28 2014 using any of the following methods

After a magnificent breakfast I started loading up my bike and it wasnrsquot long before the gang arrived to come take me sightseeing
Our first stop of the day after topping up our tanks was at the look out of Lac Saint Jean
From here you truly get a sense of how immense this lake is
We took some time to admire the view and chat about the plans for the rest of the day
Our next stop was to be the Camp Musical a purely French speaking musical camp for students to come and immerse themselves in the culture of the region and the music that is their passion
The camp has numerous housing units and the most incredible concert hall The Raymond Tremblay concert hall has 320 seats 2 piano rooms a bistro terrace and exhibition hall The Egyptian goddess Hathor is symbolized here and she represents happiness joy and music
The acoustics even when you are just speaking
well stunning would be the word to describe the sound quality
Everything about this 40-year-old institute screams creativity We went up to the gazebo on the observation deck and took in the panorama Breathtakingly beautiful you can see why this region inspires music and lyrics
After our tour of the camp was done we headed out towards the Village Historique Val-Jalbert Canadarsquos BEST preserved Ghost Town I couldnrsquot wait
The ride from the Camp Musical to Val-Jalbert which is just northwest of Chambord took about 30 minutes It was a wee bit overcast but the temperature was perfect for riding
When we arrived at Val-Jalbert we headed into the gorgeous visitor information centre and were assigned a tour guide named Michelle Pelletier Michelle turned out to be an amazing tour guide
She spoke in both French and English easily and made all of us feel so welcome

We got in an electric cart and began our tour with Michelle telling us about the history of this town and why it is such a significant tourism and historical attraction
You see this town was the dream of one man Damase Jalbert He was the founder of the Ouiatchouan Pulp Company that built a pulp mill
here The town he founded for his employees started out as Saint-Georges-de-Ouiatchouan named for the river and the falls that powered the mill The name was changed to Val-Jalbert in 1913 in honor of the man whose dream it was
Damase wanted to build the best company town and provide his employees with a rarified quality of living
He died suddenly three years after opening the mill The mill faced a cash shortage and was bought by American shareholders in 1904 In 1909 the Chicoutimi Pulp Company bought it
From 1909 to 1922 the village flourished and was the envy of many surrounding communities
The company town offered employees electricity and running water in their homes a good 25 years before anyone else in Quebec had power
In 1923 the demand for mechanical pulp began to fall and by 1924 most of the workers had been laid off
On August 13th 1927 all operations ceased and over the next few years the village became abandoned
In 1942 the government took the property back for non-payment of taxes and in 1970 Val-Jalbert had new life breathed into it as a tourist attraction In recent years the government of Quebec has spent 19+ million dollars to upgrade and improve the visitors information centre put in a glass observation deck and a whole host of other improvements
Val-Jalbert must have been the most amazing town in the region in its day because this place is utterly amazing today The Quebec government has spent a lot of money and time restoring this
place to preserve the history and they have done an incredible job
Our first stop on the tour was the convent school where we met ldquoMother Superiorrdquo who took us through the school and answered our questions She was stern but I think there was a glint of mischief in her eyes as she ldquodisciplinedrdquo us on proper etiquette
There was the most amazing art display in
one room and in another the historical timeline of the residents of Val-Jalbert to take in The antiques and furnishings truly made you feel you were stuck in a time warp
After touring the school we headed towards the post office The ldquopostmistressrdquo was this chatty little gal that had us peeing ourselves we were laughing so hard It was pretty cool to see the old stamps and the various bits of equipment of the day
We walked up the street to take a tour of the restored duplexes that line the main street You have to see these places to truly appreciate them Imagine 1910 and you can flip a switch and have lights turn a tap and have water flush a toilet and not have to walk to the outhouse
These company houses were so well built and the people who lived here were fiercely loyal to the company that treated them so well
From the duplexes we went to the general store where we ran into the ldquoMayorrdquo the only person in town to have a car The general store offers up everything a visitor could need plus acts as a museum with lots of interesting period pieces on display
Michelle had gotten keys to show us the duplexes that have been upgraded and make up the 4 star accommodations offered here
We walked across the street and were taken to view to the most amazing hotel rooms
Rustic and yet modern these rooms are spacious well appointed and every one of them has unique little shadow boxes filled with antiques
All of the modern appliances Internet boxes and TV are all hidden in closets so that they are not visible It makes for a very appealing deacutecor
Although the rooms appear to only have one bed in the matter of a few moments Michelle had the
couch taken apart and the bed folded down out of the wall for a second bed
The bathrooms are absolute marvels with big tubs and glass showers
The parking for the hotel rooms is hidden behind a row of trees so that there is no real visual of anything modern on the face of things
From the hotel rooms we got back in the electric cart and headed towards the ldquoruinsrdquo Although many of the duplexes have been restored Michelle explained to us that the style of construction for the company houses had been changed and that
the newer houses had collapsed on themselves Some of the buildings are slated for restoration but many are too far-gone The streets they line are preserved so that one can walk by the ruins and get a feel for how large this town really was and how well laid out it was
Our next stop was the Mill Impressive is a good word to describe this place We had our lunch in the Old Mill Restaurant The food served here complimented the
atmosphere ndash IMPECCABLEThe chef Carl Murray has a great reputation that
he totally lives up toThe service
the food the atmosphere and the company were all top drawer
After our fabulous meal it was time to head to the tram and go experience the waterfalls
The ride up to the top gives you the most magnificent view of the region The Ouiatchouan Falls are some 65 feet higher than the Niagara Falls
and the power of them is palpable The rushing water is almost deafening as you walk out on to the glass observation deck
From the falls we walked down to the mill again and took in the most impressive interactive show I have ever experienced In the underbelly of the once abandoned mill amongst all of the monster gearing and shafts the lights go dim you feel the mist in the air and all of a sudden the walls become alive with characters from the original town and they take you through the historical timeline of the village and its people
It is absolutely captivating you become totally involved in the lives and the hardship of the villagers
The show signaled the end of our tour and Michelle took us back to the visitor information centre and sent us all off with gifts of blueberry jam and blueberry tea to remember our visit by
My bike had been acting up off and on and I had been keeping an eye out on a leak coming from the front of the engine The noise from the shifter region was becoming louder but I wasnrsquot experiencing any power loss so I kept an ear out and we kept riding
Our next stop was at the Cheddar Cheese Museum in Saint-Prime where a sweet young man took us on a tour
He showed us the old-fashioned way cheddar cheese was made and then we got to tour the museum portion of the factory 4 generations of the family Perron have made cheddar cheese here
The museum has over 650 artifacts that involve the familyrsquos history in cheese making including the stamps and other machinery used in exporting the cheese
The Cheddar Cheese Museum offers interactive displays and hosts several workshops on the art of making cheddar Upstairs you can view the family home of the Perronrsquos and see all of the period specific furnishings
Along with guided tours you can also sample the various types of cheddar cheese which we did and oh my I have never tasted cheddar that was so smooth and rich
After thanking our young guide for the fabulous tour we headed off
We stopped at Tim Hortonrsquos for a coffee and sitting out on the curb in front of my bike I could see the leak was getting worse I was very concerned and asked if there was a shop nearby where I could at least check the oil level in my primary
Rejean talked to one of the local riders Denis AKA Tarte au Sucre (Sweet Pie) and he took us to Carl Tremblayrsquos shop Carl is a mechanic that many here swear by His rates are far cheaper than the dealerships and every rider in the region says hersquos a guru He took the primary apart and sure
enough discovered that the compensating sprocket was dead and the stator was leaking With parts ordered and Rejeanrsquos wife going to the Harley shop to pick them up Francine Lynne Rejean and Denis rode me to my hotel the Motel Chutes des Pegraveres in Dolbeau-Mistassini My gear and luggage was distributed over three of the four bikes
By the time we got in it was dark and everyone had to head home I enjoyed a wonderful steak for supper and then headed off to my beautiful room and after a boiling hot pounding shower I climbed into the queen-sized bed and with the sound of the falls lulling me to sleep
And thatrsquos where I will leave you until next weekhellipBelt Drive Betty

1 - Yoursquoll Become a Better DriverTherersquos no doubt that riding a motorcycle has its
benefits especially when it comes to driving a car Riding a motorcycle teaches you to look out for people who are trying to kill you yoursquoll see hazards sooner and yoursquoll end up with Ninja-like machine control So when it comes to driving yoursquoll put all that to work and be a cut above the rest Hopefully
2 - Everyone Wants To Talk To YouIt really doesnrsquot matter what kind of motorcycle
you ride yoursquoll find middle-aged men stare at you and your bike with a dreamy lust before giving you an unwanted compliment Chances are theyrsquoll have no idea what the bike is either
Choose a classic or even worse a modern classic and yoursquoll become a magnet for old men who have the knack of being able to have a conversation with you without you needing to add any input Yoursquoll reach for your helmet on more than one occasion but not be able to put in on and leave because theyrsquoll ask you a question when you try Yoursquoll be subjected to questions about your
bike that you donrsquot know the answer to or even care about
The conversation will go something like this Is that a Triumph I had a Triumph once (followed by 10 minutes of ldquoback in my day rdquo)
3 - When You Say Yoursquore A Biker This Is The First Image That
Comes To Peoplehellip
5 Things They Never Told You About Becoming A Bikerby Robert Whaley NW Ontario Motorcycling
You could be a nice guy you could have something that resembles a career you could do the occasional BBQ it doesnrsquot matter When you mention to anyone at a party that yoursquove got a motorcycle a picture of this guy will pop into their head Then as you explain that you donrsquot ride a cruiser and yoursquove got a sportsbike theyrsquoll just think yoursquore speaking Greek and will reevaluate you as some sort of nut job who tries to kill himself on the highways Itrsquos a no-win
4 - Bees and Other Flying Things Will Start To Scare You
Anything flying will scare you When yoursquore sitting around at a family BBQ and everyone starts going mental the moment a bee or a wasp arrives on the scene you sit there perfectly calm and wonder what all the fuss is about
However - when yoursquore on a bike itrsquos a different story There you are riding along on a nice sunny day with your visor up enjoying the countryside and the winding road in front of you
Then you spot it 50 metres away a large insect looks like its stopped going about its daily business and itrsquos homing in at you instead Before you can do anything about it it goes THHHHHWAP right on your cheek Close but luckily it didnrsquot get you in the eye Then you panic the little bastardrsquos still in your helmet You insert a clumsy leather-clad finger and try and flick whatever it is away but probably end up pissing it off even further Then you crank on the brakes and perform the worldrsquos fastest lid removal followed by a little bit of a flappy-armed dance
5 - You Canrsquot Figure Out Who To Wave ToWhen you get a motorcycle you become part of a
club Itrsquos a club no biker really talks about but yoursquore in it now and yoursquore not allowed to leave Ever When you first pass your test yoursquoll wave at anyone and everyone If yoursquore heading down a road and a dog looks at you the right way yoursquoll probably wave at him too
Unfortunately this will change There are no set rules as to how it will change but yoursquoll end up developing your own code Me I wave at everyone dogs too and donrsquot give a second thought to the riders that donrsquot wave back But thatrsquos just me Yoursquoll have to work out your own code
Breaking is one of the most important things that you will learn to do on a motorcycle When we first learn to ride we are taught techniques to protect ourselves from crashing such as breaking shifting and countersteering But generally the most effective way to avoid an accident is through proper use of the brakes
The rear brake in particular is probably one of the least understood controls on a motorcycle Many riders donrsquot use the rear brake at all claiming that it doesnrsquot actually aid in slowing down or stopping the bike and say that it locks up the rear tire when trying to use it In fact most experts agree that a balanced use of both the front and rear brake is the most effective way of slowing or stopping a motorcycle
The rear brake also plays a huge role in adding stability to the bike when maneuvering
Because of the weight distribution on a motorcycle the braking balance of stopping power between the front and rear is 70 on the front and 30 on the rear This should tell you that if you donrsquot use the rear brake at all you are loosing 30 of the potential stopping power on your bike This could become a critical factor if you find yourself in trouble and have to try
and avoid an accident
Why does the rear brake lock up Well once again it has to do with weight distribution When you find yourself in a braking situation and start applying the brakes the geometry of the bike changes (due partly to the suspension) and much of the total weight (bike + rider) is transferred to the front This allows the rider to apply much more front brake than rear brake (the 7030 ratio)
Learning the finer points of your bikersquos braking performance is the key to keeping your bike in control It is a good idea to explore those limits in a safe environment
Practice repeated stops in an abandoned parking lot and yoursquoll start to get a feel for the amount of
effort that triggers tire slippage or rear tire lock-up
Try stopping with your front brake only then rear only and then a combination of both Once you become more familiar with your bikersquos brakes the sensations of weight transfer will start to feel more apparent and familiar That way yoursquoll be much more aware of the limits of your bike and yoursquoll be much better prepared in stopping

CAV To Hold AGM During ATLANTICADE (Summerside PE)
ndash The relationship started off by accident back in 2007 in
Moncton during the inaugural Atlanticade eventldquoI saw these guys who were hanging around
together with CAV crests on their vests and didnrsquot really know who they wererdquo says Dale Hicks festival founder and chairman Hicks began to connect the dots on the final day when the closing parade ended at the local veteranrsquos health care center and the CAV riders were very engaged with the vets ldquoSo I starting asking ndash who are these guys and what does CAV stand forrdquo
That was over seven years ago and now the relationship between Atlanticade and the Canadian Army Veterans is as strong a bond as you will find anywhere in the world of motorcycle events
ldquoOnce we became aware of who the CAV group was and what they represented I said well this group reflects the best of what it means to be Canadian so we certainly wanted to build a relationship with themrdquo recalls Hicks
Since then CAV has played a significant role in some form or fashion at each Atlanticade event The festival now has a
ldquoSupport the Troopsrdquo activity incorporated into the schedule each year where CAV plays a lead role In addition CAV will also be found leading parades such as the Confederation Bridge Cruise and the Parade of Iron Horses
In fact in 2011 Hicks was surprised and honored to be presented with an
honorary membership into the CAV organization at the closing awards breakfast at the Algonquin Hotel in St Andrews
ldquoYeah they caught me off guard with that and I certainly was humbled and honored by to be presented the crest by Trapperrdquo says Hicks ldquoI donrsquot feel worthy of wearing the crest but I do sport it proudly at certain times during Atlanticaderdquo
The unique bond between the two organizations continues for the upcoming 8th annual festival being held in Summerside PEI from June 27th to
Continued Next Page
(Atlanticade chairman Dale Hicks had just presented Trapper Cane with the annual ldquoExperienced Rider Awardrdquo
when Cane turned the tables by presenting Hicks with his honorary CAV membership during the 2011 event)
July 1st Recenty CAV founder Paul (Trapper) Cane announced the grouprsquos annual general meeting will take place in Summerside in conjunction with Atlanticade
ldquoAtlanticade brings great energy to all riders and our CAV members certainly appreciate the extra efforts put forth by Dalersquos team to give us some profile at the eventrdquo says Cane ldquoNo doubt it has been a great relationship between the two organizations and we hope it continues well into the futurerdquo
For his part Hicks says that Atlanticade is very proud to be able to host the CAV ndash AGM as part of the 2014 festival ldquoWe always have a good turnout of CAV members at our event but this will mean an additional boost in participants from across the country We hope we can make it a little special for them and something they will remember years down the roadrdquo

and take a step up Pretty soon everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted offAnd the moral ishellip Life is going to shovel dirt on you all kinds of dirt The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up Each of our troubles is a steppingstone We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping never giving up Shake it off and take a step up

On the sixth day God turned to Archangel Gabriel and said Today
I am going to create a land called Canada It will be a land of outstanding natural beauty It shall have tall majestic mountains full of mountain goats and eagles beautiful sparkling lakes bountiful with bass and trout forests full of elk and moose high cliffs over-looking sandy beaches with an abundance of sea life and rivers stocked with salmon
God continued
I shall make the land rich in resources so as to make the inhabitants prosper I shall call these inhabitants Canadians and they shall be known as the most friendly people on the earth
But Lord asked Gabriel dont you think you are being too generous to these Canadians
Not really replied GodJust wait and see the winters I am going to give

While the boy and his father were watching with amazement a fat old lady in a wheel chair rolled up to the moving walls and pressed a button The walls opened and the lady rolled between them into a small room The walls closed and the boy and his father watched the small circular numbers above the walls light up sequentially They continued to watch until it reached the last number and then the numbers began to light in the reverse order Then the walls opened up again and a gorgeous voluptuous 24-year-old blonde woman stepped out The father not taking his eyes off the young woman said quietly to his son

The Touch of a healerAn Irishman in a wheelchair entered a restaurant
one afternoon and asked the waitress for a cup of coffee The Irishman looked across the restaurant and asked Is that Jesus sitting over there The waitress nodded yes so the Irishman told her to give Jesus a cup of coffee on him
The next patron to come in was an Englishman with a hunched back He shuffled over to a booth painfully sat down and asked for a cup of hot tea He also glanced across the restaurant and asked Is that Jesus over there The waitress nodded so the Englishman said to give Jesus a cup of hot tea my treat
The third patron to come into the restaurant was a Redneck on crutches He hobbled over to a booth sat down and hollered Hey there sweet thang Hows about gettin me a cold glass of Coke He too looked across the restaurant and asked Is that
Gods boy over there The waitress once again nodded that it was so the Redneck said to give Jesus a cold glass of Coke on my bill
As Jesus got up to leave he passed by the Irishman touched him and said For your kindness you are healed The Irishman felt the strength come back to his legs got up and danced a jig right out the door
Jesus also passed by the Englishman touched him and said For your kindness you are healed The Englishman felt his back straightening up and he raised his hands praised the Lord and did a series of back flips out the door
Then Jesus walked up to the Redneck
The Redneck jumped up and yelled ldquoDonrsquot touch me Irsquom drawinrsquo disabilityrdquo
The most important thing for all motorcycle riders and vehicle drivers in Saskatchewan right now is standing-up and getting YOUR voice heardhellipand COUNTED
When it comes to the Saskatchewan Rate Review process each and every voice matters no matter how big no matter how small Every voice every opinion matters Use this process to make YOUR VOICE COUNT BEFORE April 28 2014 After thathellipit is too late
RAGE is here to continue what we started so successfully last year To continue to lobby SGI and the Provincial Government to put real and long-term public policy forward to end the continuous cycle of rate increases being implemented to
cover up escalating high-risk driving behaviour in Saskatchewan In a nutshell to stop just raising rates and not much else
If you parked a vehicle on the street downtown (any type of vehicle) and just left it there till it caused an accident How long would it take for that vehicle to be at-fault for causing one That is if it wasnrsquot stolen or vandalized first
Now if a person comes along gets into that same vehicle and drives off looking at their cellphone and texting How long
If it is a motorcycle and a person who just wrote their learners with zero experience (other than maybe a ride around the block) comes along gets on and rides off into traffic How long
The great thing about what we are putting forward is that it addresses ALL driver behavior Not vehicles but those who drive them ALL of us
You as a motorcycle and vehicle owner need to be speaking up this yearhellipin Saskatchewan you are more than likely both Making sure YOUR voice
Stand Up and Be Counted

gets counted To stop the endless cycle of just raising rates with not much else
This will allow RAGE to have a strong voice when it comes to the Personal Injury Insurance Review happening later this year Remember YOUR ldquoa-la-carterdquo recommendation has been approved by government
To continue to fight for mandatory safety training (Yes RAGE has always wanted this to be mandatory)
To continue to work with SGI on the things they are already implementing as a result of RAGE and ALL YOUR VOICES
YOUR VOICEno matter what your messageMATTERS to RAGE
Without all YOUR voicesindividuallyeach counting as 1UNITED into manyhellipSGI will simply not listen
Since the 1980rsquos and up until last yearvery few voices were raised to be counted during the Rate Review Process SGI pretty much did what they wantedthen last year BAM
For years SGI shut out anyone any group many efforts by the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel and the Provincial Government for any changeswhyNO UNITED VOICES Yes they brought in the 3 year MGDL in 2011 However they didnrsquot work with the groups involved past initial consultations SGI came to their own conclusions (no one could agree) and implemented what they
wanted SGI then stopped returning calls and continued to increase rates in 2012 and 2013
Even the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel has had difficulty getting the information they need from SGI to make informed decisions
Is it little wonder that the Minister Responsible for SGI felt she didnrsquot have to listen to the ldquosuggestionrdquo of the Rate Review Panel After all they never really had in previous years
Hammering us with another 15 increase could have been meant to knock us off our motorcycles and give up After all that hard workhellipand yet another increase Irsquom betting they expected us to cry in our coffee about how unfair they are about how they just do want they want anyway how we should just privatize and then do nothing more than that
Now that might have workedhellipin the past That is until last year the first time since the 1980rsquos when RAGE worked hard to organize YOUR voices YOU each used your own voices You each counted Then RAGE presented a proposal that took EACH ONE and MADE THEM COUNT as a UNITED VOICE
Then we did the unthinkablehellipWE STAYED We werenrsquot just there for 3 meetings WE
were 100 ALL INhellipFOR YOU To make sure YOUR VOICES continued to count RAGE continued to work with SGI on the wording for the recommendations put forward providing information for awareness sharing the ldquoCount Your Motorcyclerdquo game and much more
When it comes right down to it YOUR opinions and comments should matter to YOU IT does not matter if you donrsquot agree with the overall message of RAGE or your local riding club group
association coffee groupwhatever WHAT MATTERSis YOU getting YOUR VOICE
heard YOU canrsquot leave it up to everyone else You canrsquot assume anyone else is going to do this for YOU WE ALL MUST FIGHT
The worst thing you can do is nothing THAT is even worse than complaining and doing nothing Complaincomplain to your hearts contentto the Sask Rate Review Panel
THEN go have coffeeIf you canrsquot make it to the meeting in person
please at the very least contact the Rate Review Panel with YOUR voice
Each of our own voices count as 1 in this processjust as the voice of RAGE only counts as 1 We know SGI only listens when there are MANY following a UNITED theme

After a magnificent breakfast I started loading up my bike and it wasnrsquot long before the gang arrived to come take me sightseeing
Our first stop of the day after topping up our tanks was at the look out of Lac Saint Jean
From here you truly get a sense of how immense this lake is
We took some time to admire the view and chat about the plans for the rest of the day
Our next stop was to be the Camp Musical a purely French speaking musical camp for students to come and immerse themselves in the culture of the region and the music that is their passion
The camp has numerous housing units and the most incredible concert hall The Raymond Tremblay concert hall has 320 seats 2 piano rooms a bistro terrace and exhibition hall The Egyptian goddess Hathor is symbolized here and she represents happiness joy and music
The acoustics even when you are just speaking
well stunning would be the word to describe the sound quality
Everything about this 40-year-old institute screams creativity We went up to the gazebo on the observation deck and took in the panorama Breathtakingly beautiful you can see why this region inspires music and lyrics
After our tour of the camp was done we headed out towards the Village Historique Val-Jalbert Canadarsquos BEST preserved Ghost Town I couldnrsquot wait
The ride from the Camp Musical to Val-Jalbert which is just northwest of Chambord took about 30 minutes It was a wee bit overcast but the temperature was perfect for riding
When we arrived at Val-Jalbert we headed into the gorgeous visitor information centre and were assigned a tour guide named Michelle Pelletier Michelle turned out to be an amazing tour guide
She spoke in both French and English easily and made all of us feel so welcome

Saturday May 31st 2014 830 am Rain date June 1st rain or shine
We got in an electric cart and began our tour with Michelle telling us about the history of this town and why it is such a significant tourism and historical attraction
You see this town was the dream of one man Damase Jalbert He was the founder of the Ouiatchouan Pulp Company that built a pulp mill
here The town he founded for his employees started out as Saint-Georges-de-Ouiatchouan named for the river and the falls that powered the mill The name was changed to Val-Jalbert in 1913 in honor of the man whose dream it was
Damase wanted to build the best company town and provide his employees with a rarified quality of living
He died suddenly three years after opening the mill The mill faced a cash shortage and was bought by American shareholders in 1904 In 1909 the Chicoutimi Pulp Company bought it
From 1909 to 1922 the village flourished and was the envy of many surrounding communities
The company town offered employees electricity and running water in their homes a good 25 years before anyone else in Quebec had power
In 1923 the demand for mechanical pulp began to fall and by 1924 most of the workers had been laid off
On August 13th 1927 all operations ceased and over the next few years the village became abandoned
In 1942 the government took the property back for non-payment of taxes and in 1970 Val-Jalbert had new life breathed into it as a tourist attraction In recent years the government of Quebec has spent 19+ million dollars to upgrade and improve the visitors information centre put in a glass observation deck and a whole host of other improvements
Val-Jalbert must have been the most amazing town in the region in its day because this place is utterly amazing today The Quebec government has spent a lot of money and time restoring this
place to preserve the history and they have done an incredible job
Our first stop on the tour was the convent school where we met ldquoMother Superiorrdquo who took us through the school and answered our questions She was stern but I think there was a glint of mischief in her eyes as she ldquodisciplinedrdquo us on proper etiquette
There was the most amazing art display in
one room and in another the historical timeline of the residents of Val-Jalbert to take in The antiques and furnishings truly made you feel you were stuck in a time warp
After touring the school we headed towards the post office The ldquopostmistressrdquo was this chatty little gal that had us peeing ourselves we were laughing so hard It was pretty cool to see the old stamps and the various bits of equipment of the day
We walked up the street to take a tour of the restored duplexes that line the main street You have to see these places to truly appreciate them Imagine 1910 and you can flip a switch and have lights turn a tap and have water flush a toilet and not have to walk to the outhouse
These company houses were so well built and the people who lived here were fiercely loyal to the company that treated them so well
From the duplexes we went to the general store where we ran into the ldquoMayorrdquo the only person in town to have a car The general store offers up everything a visitor could need plus acts as a museum with lots of interesting period pieces on display
Michelle had gotten keys to show us the duplexes that have been upgraded and make up the 4 star accommodations offered here
We walked across the street and were taken to view to the most amazing hotel rooms
Rustic and yet modern these rooms are spacious well appointed and every one of them has unique little shadow boxes filled with antiques
All of the modern appliances Internet boxes and TV are all hidden in closets so that they are not visible It makes for a very appealing deacutecor
Although the rooms appear to only have one bed in the matter of a few moments Michelle had the
couch taken apart and the bed folded down out of the wall for a second bed
The bathrooms are absolute marvels with big tubs and glass showers
The parking for the hotel rooms is hidden behind a row of trees so that there is no real visual of anything modern on the face of things
From the hotel rooms we got back in the electric cart and headed towards the ldquoruinsrdquo Although many of the duplexes have been restored Michelle explained to us that the style of construction for the company houses had been changed and that
the newer houses had collapsed on themselves Some of the buildings are slated for restoration but many are too far-gone The streets they line are preserved so that one can walk by the ruins and get a feel for how large this town really was and how well laid out it was
Our next stop was the Mill Impressive is a good word to describe this place We had our lunch in the Old Mill Restaurant The food served here complimented the
atmosphere ndash IMPECCABLEThe chef Carl Murray has a great reputation that
he totally lives up toThe service
the food the atmosphere and the company were all top drawer
After our fabulous meal it was time to head to the tram and go experience the waterfalls
The ride up to the top gives you the most magnificent view of the region The Ouiatchouan Falls are some 65 feet higher than the Niagara Falls
and the power of them is palpable The rushing water is almost deafening as you walk out on to the glass observation deck
From the falls we walked down to the mill again and took in the most impressive interactive show I have ever experienced In the underbelly of the once abandoned mill amongst all of the monster gearing and shafts the lights go dim you feel the mist in the air and all of a sudden the walls become alive with characters from the original town and they take you through the historical timeline of the village and its people
It is absolutely captivating you become totally involved in the lives and the hardship of the villagers
The show signaled the end of our tour and Michelle took us back to the visitor information centre and sent us all off with gifts of blueberry jam and blueberry tea to remember our visit by
My bike had been acting up off and on and I had been keeping an eye out on a leak coming from the front of the engine The noise from the shifter region was becoming louder but I wasnrsquot experiencing any power loss so I kept an ear out and we kept riding
Our next stop was at the Cheddar Cheese Museum in Saint-Prime where a sweet young man took us on a tour
He showed us the old-fashioned way cheddar cheese was made and then we got to tour the museum portion of the factory 4 generations of the family Perron have made cheddar cheese here
The museum has over 650 artifacts that involve the familyrsquos history in cheese making including the stamps and other machinery used in exporting the cheese
The Cheddar Cheese Museum offers interactive displays and hosts several workshops on the art of making cheddar Upstairs you can view the family home of the Perronrsquos and see all of the period specific furnishings
Along with guided tours you can also sample the various types of cheddar cheese which we did and oh my I have never tasted cheddar that was so smooth and rich
After thanking our young guide for the fabulous tour we headed off
We stopped at Tim Hortonrsquos for a coffee and sitting out on the curb in front of my bike I could see the leak was getting worse I was very concerned and asked if there was a shop nearby where I could at least check the oil level in my primary
Rejean talked to one of the local riders Denis AKA Tarte au Sucre (Sweet Pie) and he took us to Carl Tremblayrsquos shop Carl is a mechanic that many here swear by His rates are far cheaper than the dealerships and every rider in the region says hersquos a guru He took the primary apart and sure
enough discovered that the compensating sprocket was dead and the stator was leaking With parts ordered and Rejeanrsquos wife going to the Harley shop to pick them up Francine Lynne Rejean and Denis rode me to my hotel the Motel Chutes des Pegraveres in Dolbeau-Mistassini My gear and luggage was distributed over three of the four bikes
By the time we got in it was dark and everyone had to head home I enjoyed a wonderful steak for supper and then headed off to my beautiful room and after a boiling hot pounding shower I climbed into the queen-sized bed and with the sound of the falls lulling me to sleep
And thatrsquos where I will leave you until next weekhellipBelt Drive Betty

1 - Yoursquoll Become a Better DriverTherersquos no doubt that riding a motorcycle has its
benefits especially when it comes to driving a car Riding a motorcycle teaches you to look out for people who are trying to kill you yoursquoll see hazards sooner and yoursquoll end up with Ninja-like machine control So when it comes to driving yoursquoll put all that to work and be a cut above the rest Hopefully
2 - Everyone Wants To Talk To YouIt really doesnrsquot matter what kind of motorcycle
you ride yoursquoll find middle-aged men stare at you and your bike with a dreamy lust before giving you an unwanted compliment Chances are theyrsquoll have no idea what the bike is either
Choose a classic or even worse a modern classic and yoursquoll become a magnet for old men who have the knack of being able to have a conversation with you without you needing to add any input Yoursquoll reach for your helmet on more than one occasion but not be able to put in on and leave because theyrsquoll ask you a question when you try Yoursquoll be subjected to questions about your
bike that you donrsquot know the answer to or even care about
The conversation will go something like this Is that a Triumph I had a Triumph once (followed by 10 minutes of ldquoback in my day rdquo)
3 - When You Say Yoursquore A Biker This Is The First Image That
Comes To Peoplehellip
5 Things They Never Told You About Becoming A Bikerby Robert Whaley NW Ontario Motorcycling
You could be a nice guy you could have something that resembles a career you could do the occasional BBQ it doesnrsquot matter When you mention to anyone at a party that yoursquove got a motorcycle a picture of this guy will pop into their head Then as you explain that you donrsquot ride a cruiser and yoursquove got a sportsbike theyrsquoll just think yoursquore speaking Greek and will reevaluate you as some sort of nut job who tries to kill himself on the highways Itrsquos a no-win
4 - Bees and Other Flying Things Will Start To Scare You
Anything flying will scare you When yoursquore sitting around at a family BBQ and everyone starts going mental the moment a bee or a wasp arrives on the scene you sit there perfectly calm and wonder what all the fuss is about
However - when yoursquore on a bike itrsquos a different story There you are riding along on a nice sunny day with your visor up enjoying the countryside and the winding road in front of you
Then you spot it 50 metres away a large insect looks like its stopped going about its daily business and itrsquos homing in at you instead Before you can do anything about it it goes THHHHHWAP right on your cheek Close but luckily it didnrsquot get you in the eye Then you panic the little bastardrsquos still in your helmet You insert a clumsy leather-clad finger and try and flick whatever it is away but probably end up pissing it off even further Then you crank on the brakes and perform the worldrsquos fastest lid removal followed by a little bit of a flappy-armed dance
5 - You Canrsquot Figure Out Who To Wave ToWhen you get a motorcycle you become part of a
club Itrsquos a club no biker really talks about but yoursquore in it now and yoursquore not allowed to leave Ever When you first pass your test yoursquoll wave at anyone and everyone If yoursquore heading down a road and a dog looks at you the right way yoursquoll probably wave at him too
Unfortunately this will change There are no set rules as to how it will change but yoursquoll end up developing your own code Me I wave at everyone dogs too and donrsquot give a second thought to the riders that donrsquot wave back But thatrsquos just me Yoursquoll have to work out your own code
Breaking is one of the most important things that you will learn to do on a motorcycle When we first learn to ride we are taught techniques to protect ourselves from crashing such as breaking shifting and countersteering But generally the most effective way to avoid an accident is through proper use of the brakes
The rear brake in particular is probably one of the least understood controls on a motorcycle Many riders donrsquot use the rear brake at all claiming that it doesnrsquot actually aid in slowing down or stopping the bike and say that it locks up the rear tire when trying to use it In fact most experts agree that a balanced use of both the front and rear brake is the most effective way of slowing or stopping a motorcycle
The rear brake also plays a huge role in adding stability to the bike when maneuvering
Because of the weight distribution on a motorcycle the braking balance of stopping power between the front and rear is 70 on the front and 30 on the rear This should tell you that if you donrsquot use the rear brake at all you are loosing 30 of the potential stopping power on your bike This could become a critical factor if you find yourself in trouble and have to try
and avoid an accident
Why does the rear brake lock up Well once again it has to do with weight distribution When you find yourself in a braking situation and start applying the brakes the geometry of the bike changes (due partly to the suspension) and much of the total weight (bike + rider) is transferred to the front This allows the rider to apply much more front brake than rear brake (the 7030 ratio)
Learning the finer points of your bikersquos braking performance is the key to keeping your bike in control It is a good idea to explore those limits in a safe environment
Practice repeated stops in an abandoned parking lot and yoursquoll start to get a feel for the amount of
effort that triggers tire slippage or rear tire lock-up
Try stopping with your front brake only then rear only and then a combination of both Once you become more familiar with your bikersquos brakes the sensations of weight transfer will start to feel more apparent and familiar That way yoursquoll be much more aware of the limits of your bike and yoursquoll be much better prepared in stopping

CAV To Hold AGM During ATLANTICADE (Summerside PE)
ndash The relationship started off by accident back in 2007 in
Moncton during the inaugural Atlanticade eventldquoI saw these guys who were hanging around
together with CAV crests on their vests and didnrsquot really know who they wererdquo says Dale Hicks festival founder and chairman Hicks began to connect the dots on the final day when the closing parade ended at the local veteranrsquos health care center and the CAV riders were very engaged with the vets ldquoSo I starting asking ndash who are these guys and what does CAV stand forrdquo
That was over seven years ago and now the relationship between Atlanticade and the Canadian Army Veterans is as strong a bond as you will find anywhere in the world of motorcycle events
ldquoOnce we became aware of who the CAV group was and what they represented I said well this group reflects the best of what it means to be Canadian so we certainly wanted to build a relationship with themrdquo recalls Hicks
Since then CAV has played a significant role in some form or fashion at each Atlanticade event The festival now has a
ldquoSupport the Troopsrdquo activity incorporated into the schedule each year where CAV plays a lead role In addition CAV will also be found leading parades such as the Confederation Bridge Cruise and the Parade of Iron Horses
In fact in 2011 Hicks was surprised and honored to be presented with an
honorary membership into the CAV organization at the closing awards breakfast at the Algonquin Hotel in St Andrews
ldquoYeah they caught me off guard with that and I certainly was humbled and honored by to be presented the crest by Trapperrdquo says Hicks ldquoI donrsquot feel worthy of wearing the crest but I do sport it proudly at certain times during Atlanticaderdquo
The unique bond between the two organizations continues for the upcoming 8th annual festival being held in Summerside PEI from June 27th to

(Atlanticade chairman Dale Hicks had just presented Trapper Cane with the annual ldquoExperienced Rider Awardrdquo
when Cane turned the tables by presenting Hicks with his honorary CAV membership during the 2011 event)
July 1st Recenty CAV founder Paul (Trapper) Cane announced the grouprsquos annual general meeting will take place in Summerside in conjunction with Atlanticade
ldquoAtlanticade brings great energy to all riders and our CAV members certainly appreciate the extra efforts put forth by Dalersquos team to give us some profile at the eventrdquo says Cane ldquoNo doubt it has been a great relationship between the two organizations and we hope it continues well into the futurerdquo
For his part Hicks says that Atlanticade is very proud to be able to host the CAV ndash AGM as part of the 2014 festival ldquoWe always have a good turnout of CAV members at our event but this will mean an additional boost in participants from across the country We hope we can make it a little special for them and something they will remember years down the roadrdquo

Wyz WisdomPeople often take the time to complain but rarely take the time to say ldquoyou done goodrdquo ndash take a momenthellipspread the happyhelliptell someone when theyrsquove done a good job today ndash WyzWmnSome Donkey WisdomOne day a farmerrsquos donkey fell down into a well The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to doFinally he decided the animal was old and the well needed to be covered up anyway it just wasnrsquot worth it to retrieve the donkey He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well At first the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly Then to everyonersquos amazement he quieted downA few shovel loads later the farmer finally looked down the well and was astonished at what he saw With every shovel of dirt that hit his back the donkey was doing something amazing He would shake it off and take a step up on the dirt As the farmerrsquos neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal he would shake it off
and take a step up Pretty soon everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted offAnd the moral ishellip Life is going to shovel dirt on you all kinds of dirt The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up Each of our troubles is a steppingstone We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping never giving up Shake it off and take a step up

No idea quite Where you are exactly nor do you know where yet you need to be
You feel as tossed as tumultuously as leaves in the wind
Your thoughts are as
turbulent amp dangerous as the moods of a teenagerYou are almost certain you are going in an
aimless direction with your eyes closed but your hands refuse to relinquish their grips
There is a time when the mind gleefully spins events amp memories into painful brutal tellings amp the tears dry upon your cheeks as fast as the wind can touch them leaving no trace
This is the time when intelligent rationale simply fails amp pure raw emotion takes over
Coherent thought is impossibleSpeech is non-existentThe primal need to fight- flee or fuck has kicked
into overdrive amp so with the flick of a thumb you opt for the fastest although not necessarily Wisest course of action amp race away from your demons at breakneck speed almost daring them to catch you
And the racechase is onMile after mile flashes past beneath you amp you
handle the bike as easily as breathing There are times when you ldquobecome onerdquo with it amp this is surely that time
It is pure sensation the adrenalin rush of exhilaration that isnrsquot noticed
The passage of time on a stopwatch held by the hands of the Gods
Death might ride a pale horse but you have a Harley
And yet at some point there is the indescribable

On the sixth day God turned to Archangel Gabriel and said Today
I am going to create a land called Canada It will be a land of outstanding natural beauty It shall have tall majestic mountains full of mountain goats and eagles beautiful sparkling lakes bountiful with bass and trout forests full of elk and moose high cliffs over-looking sandy beaches with an abundance of sea life and rivers stocked with salmon
God continued
I shall make the land rich in resources so as to make the inhabitants prosper I shall call these inhabitants Canadians and they shall be known as the most friendly people on the earth
But Lord asked Gabriel dont you think you are being too generous to these Canadians
Not really replied GodJust wait and see the winters I am going to give

While the boy and his father were watching with amazement a fat old lady in a wheel chair rolled up to the moving walls and pressed a button The walls opened and the lady rolled between them into a small room The walls closed and the boy and his father watched the small circular numbers above the walls light up sequentially They continued to watch until it reached the last number and then the numbers began to light in the reverse order Then the walls opened up again and a gorgeous voluptuous 24-year-old blonde woman stepped out The father not taking his eyes off the young woman said quietly to his son

The Touch of a healerAn Irishman in a wheelchair entered a restaurant
one afternoon and asked the waitress for a cup of coffee The Irishman looked across the restaurant and asked Is that Jesus sitting over there The waitress nodded yes so the Irishman told her to give Jesus a cup of coffee on him
The next patron to come in was an Englishman with a hunched back He shuffled over to a booth painfully sat down and asked for a cup of hot tea He also glanced across the restaurant and asked Is that Jesus over there The waitress nodded so the Englishman said to give Jesus a cup of hot tea my treat
The third patron to come into the restaurant was a Redneck on crutches He hobbled over to a booth sat down and hollered Hey there sweet thang Hows about gettin me a cold glass of Coke He too looked across the restaurant and asked Is that
Gods boy over there The waitress once again nodded that it was so the Redneck said to give Jesus a cold glass of Coke on my bill
As Jesus got up to leave he passed by the Irishman touched him and said For your kindness you are healed The Irishman felt the strength come back to his legs got up and danced a jig right out the door
Jesus also passed by the Englishman touched him and said For your kindness you are healed The Englishman felt his back straightening up and he raised his hands praised the Lord and did a series of back flips out the door
Then Jesus walked up to the Redneck
The Redneck jumped up and yelled ldquoDonrsquot touch me Irsquom drawinrsquo disabilityrdquo
The most important thing for all motorcycle riders and vehicle drivers in Saskatchewan right now is standing-up and getting YOUR voice heardhellipand COUNTED
When it comes to the Saskatchewan Rate Review process each and every voice matters no matter how big no matter how small Every voice every opinion matters Use this process to make YOUR VOICE COUNT BEFORE April 28 2014 After thathellipit is too late
RAGE is here to continue what we started so successfully last year To continue to lobby SGI and the Provincial Government to put real and long-term public policy forward to end the continuous cycle of rate increases being implemented to
cover up escalating high-risk driving behaviour in Saskatchewan In a nutshell to stop just raising rates and not much else
If you parked a vehicle on the street downtown (any type of vehicle) and just left it there till it caused an accident How long would it take for that vehicle to be at-fault for causing one That is if it wasnrsquot stolen or vandalized first
Now if a person comes along gets into that same vehicle and drives off looking at their cellphone and texting How long
If it is a motorcycle and a person who just wrote their learners with zero experience (other than maybe a ride around the block) comes along gets on and rides off into traffic How long
The great thing about what we are putting forward is that it addresses ALL driver behavior Not vehicles but those who drive them ALL of us
You as a motorcycle and vehicle owner need to be speaking up this yearhellipin Saskatchewan you are more than likely both Making sure YOUR voice
Stand Up and Be Counted

RAGE Dare to Know

To book an appointment or find out more about the BodyTalk System call
gets counted To stop the endless cycle of just raising rates with not much else
This will allow RAGE to have a strong voice when it comes to the Personal Injury Insurance Review happening later this year Remember YOUR ldquoa-la-carterdquo recommendation has been approved by government
To continue to fight for mandatory safety training (Yes RAGE has always wanted this to be mandatory)
To continue to work with SGI on the things they are already implementing as a result of RAGE and ALL YOUR VOICES
YOUR VOICEno matter what your messageMATTERS to RAGE
Without all YOUR voicesindividuallyeach counting as 1UNITED into manyhellipSGI will simply not listen
Since the 1980rsquos and up until last yearvery few voices were raised to be counted during the Rate Review Process SGI pretty much did what they wantedthen last year BAM
For years SGI shut out anyone any group many efforts by the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel and the Provincial Government for any changeswhyNO UNITED VOICES Yes they brought in the 3 year MGDL in 2011 However they didnrsquot work with the groups involved past initial consultations SGI came to their own conclusions (no one could agree) and implemented what they
wanted SGI then stopped returning calls and continued to increase rates in 2012 and 2013
Even the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel has had difficulty getting the information they need from SGI to make informed decisions
Is it little wonder that the Minister Responsible for SGI felt she didnrsquot have to listen to the ldquosuggestionrdquo of the Rate Review Panel After all they never really had in previous years
Hammering us with another 15 increase could have been meant to knock us off our motorcycles and give up After all that hard workhellipand yet another increase Irsquom betting they expected us to cry in our coffee about how unfair they are about how they just do want they want anyway how we should just privatize and then do nothing more than that
Now that might have workedhellipin the past That is until last year the first time since the 1980rsquos when RAGE worked hard to organize YOUR voices YOU each used your own voices You each counted Then RAGE presented a proposal that took EACH ONE and MADE THEM COUNT as a UNITED VOICE
Then we did the unthinkablehellipWE STAYED We werenrsquot just there for 3 meetings WE
were 100 ALL INhellipFOR YOU To make sure YOUR VOICES continued to count RAGE continued to work with SGI on the wording for the recommendations put forward providing information for awareness sharing the ldquoCount Your Motorcyclerdquo game and much more
When it comes right down to it YOUR opinions and comments should matter to YOU IT does not matter if you donrsquot agree with the overall message of RAGE or your local riding club group
association coffee groupwhatever WHAT MATTERSis YOU getting YOUR VOICE
heard YOU canrsquot leave it up to everyone else You canrsquot assume anyone else is going to do this for YOU WE ALL MUST FIGHT
The worst thing you can do is nothing THAT is even worse than complaining and doing nothing Complaincomplain to your hearts contentto the Sask Rate Review Panel
THEN go have coffeeIf you canrsquot make it to the meeting in person
please at the very least contact the Rate Review Panel with YOUR voice
Each of our own voices count as 1 in this processjust as the voice of RAGE only counts as 1 We know SGI only listens when there are MANY following a UNITED theme
YOU can get YOUR voice heardand COUNTEDby submitting your comments regarding the application by April 28 2014 using any of the following methods

After a magnificent breakfast I started loading up my bike and it wasnrsquot long before the gang arrived to come take me sightseeing
Our first stop of the day after topping up our tanks was at the look out of Lac Saint Jean
From here you truly get a sense of how immense this lake is
We took some time to admire the view and chat about the plans for the rest of the day
Our next stop was to be the Camp Musical a purely French speaking musical camp for students to come and immerse themselves in the culture of the region and the music that is their passion
The camp has numerous housing units and the most incredible concert hall The Raymond Tremblay concert hall has 320 seats 2 piano rooms a bistro terrace and exhibition hall The Egyptian goddess Hathor is symbolized here and she represents happiness joy and music
The acoustics even when you are just speaking
well stunning would be the word to describe the sound quality
Everything about this 40-year-old institute screams creativity We went up to the gazebo on the observation deck and took in the panorama Breathtakingly beautiful you can see why this region inspires music and lyrics
After our tour of the camp was done we headed out towards the Village Historique Val-Jalbert Canadarsquos BEST preserved Ghost Town I couldnrsquot wait
The ride from the Camp Musical to Val-Jalbert which is just northwest of Chambord took about 30 minutes It was a wee bit overcast but the temperature was perfect for riding
When we arrived at Val-Jalbert we headed into the gorgeous visitor information centre and were assigned a tour guide named Michelle Pelletier Michelle turned out to be an amazing tour guide
She spoke in both French and English easily and made all of us feel so welcome

We got in an electric cart and began our tour with Michelle telling us about the history of this town and why it is such a significant tourism and historical attraction
You see this town was the dream of one man Damase Jalbert He was the founder of the Ouiatchouan Pulp Company that built a pulp mill
here The town he founded for his employees started out as Saint-Georges-de-Ouiatchouan named for the river and the falls that powered the mill The name was changed to Val-Jalbert in 1913 in honor of the man whose dream it was
Damase wanted to build the best company town and provide his employees with a rarified quality of living
He died suddenly three years after opening the mill The mill faced a cash shortage and was bought by American shareholders in 1904 In 1909 the Chicoutimi Pulp Company bought it
From 1909 to 1922 the village flourished and was the envy of many surrounding communities
The company town offered employees electricity and running water in their homes a good 25 years before anyone else in Quebec had power
In 1923 the demand for mechanical pulp began to fall and by 1924 most of the workers had been laid off
On August 13th 1927 all operations ceased and over the next few years the village became abandoned
In 1942 the government took the property back for non-payment of taxes and in 1970 Val-Jalbert had new life breathed into it as a tourist attraction In recent years the government of Quebec has spent 19+ million dollars to upgrade and improve the visitors information centre put in a glass observation deck and a whole host of other improvements
Val-Jalbert must have been the most amazing town in the region in its day because this place is utterly amazing today The Quebec government has spent a lot of money and time restoring this
place to preserve the history and they have done an incredible job
Our first stop on the tour was the convent school where we met ldquoMother Superiorrdquo who took us through the school and answered our questions She was stern but I think there was a glint of mischief in her eyes as she ldquodisciplinedrdquo us on proper etiquette
There was the most amazing art display in
one room and in another the historical timeline of the residents of Val-Jalbert to take in The antiques and furnishings truly made you feel you were stuck in a time warp
After touring the school we headed towards the post office The ldquopostmistressrdquo was this chatty little gal that had us peeing ourselves we were laughing so hard It was pretty cool to see the old stamps and the various bits of equipment of the day
We walked up the street to take a tour of the restored duplexes that line the main street You have to see these places to truly appreciate them Imagine 1910 and you can flip a switch and have lights turn a tap and have water flush a toilet and not have to walk to the outhouse
These company houses were so well built and the people who lived here were fiercely loyal to the company that treated them so well
From the duplexes we went to the general store where we ran into the ldquoMayorrdquo the only person in town to have a car The general store offers up everything a visitor could need plus acts as a museum with lots of interesting period pieces on display
Michelle had gotten keys to show us the duplexes that have been upgraded and make up the 4 star accommodations offered here
We walked across the street and were taken to view to the most amazing hotel rooms
Rustic and yet modern these rooms are spacious well appointed and every one of them has unique little shadow boxes filled with antiques
All of the modern appliances Internet boxes and TV are all hidden in closets so that they are not visible It makes for a very appealing deacutecor
Although the rooms appear to only have one bed in the matter of a few moments Michelle had the
couch taken apart and the bed folded down out of the wall for a second bed
The bathrooms are absolute marvels with big tubs and glass showers
The parking for the hotel rooms is hidden behind a row of trees so that there is no real visual of anything modern on the face of things
From the hotel rooms we got back in the electric cart and headed towards the ldquoruinsrdquo Although many of the duplexes have been restored Michelle explained to us that the style of construction for the company houses had been changed and that
the newer houses had collapsed on themselves Some of the buildings are slated for restoration but many are too far-gone The streets they line are preserved so that one can walk by the ruins and get a feel for how large this town really was and how well laid out it was
Our next stop was the Mill Impressive is a good word to describe this place We had our lunch in the Old Mill Restaurant The food served here complimented the
atmosphere ndash IMPECCABLEThe chef Carl Murray has a great reputation that
he totally lives up toThe service
the food the atmosphere and the company were all top drawer
After our fabulous meal it was time to head to the tram and go experience the waterfalls
The ride up to the top gives you the most magnificent view of the region The Ouiatchouan Falls are some 65 feet higher than the Niagara Falls
and the power of them is palpable The rushing water is almost deafening as you walk out on to the glass observation deck
From the falls we walked down to the mill again and took in the most impressive interactive show I have ever experienced In the underbelly of the once abandoned mill amongst all of the monster gearing and shafts the lights go dim you feel the mist in the air and all of a sudden the walls become alive with characters from the original town and they take you through the historical timeline of the village and its people
It is absolutely captivating you become totally involved in the lives and the hardship of the villagers
The show signaled the end of our tour and Michelle took us back to the visitor information centre and sent us all off with gifts of blueberry jam and blueberry tea to remember our visit by
My bike had been acting up off and on and I had been keeping an eye out on a leak coming from the front of the engine The noise from the shifter region was becoming louder but I wasnrsquot experiencing any power loss so I kept an ear out and we kept riding
Our next stop was at the Cheddar Cheese Museum in Saint-Prime where a sweet young man took us on a tour
He showed us the old-fashioned way cheddar cheese was made and then we got to tour the museum portion of the factory 4 generations of the family Perron have made cheddar cheese here
The museum has over 650 artifacts that involve the familyrsquos history in cheese making including the stamps and other machinery used in exporting the cheese
The Cheddar Cheese Museum offers interactive displays and hosts several workshops on the art of making cheddar Upstairs you can view the family home of the Perronrsquos and see all of the period specific furnishings
Along with guided tours you can also sample the various types of cheddar cheese which we did and oh my I have never tasted cheddar that was so smooth and rich
After thanking our young guide for the fabulous tour we headed off
We stopped at Tim Hortonrsquos for a coffee and sitting out on the curb in front of my bike I could see the leak was getting worse I was very concerned and asked if there was a shop nearby where I could at least check the oil level in my primary
Rejean talked to one of the local riders Denis AKA Tarte au Sucre (Sweet Pie) and he took us to Carl Tremblayrsquos shop Carl is a mechanic that many here swear by His rates are far cheaper than the dealerships and every rider in the region says hersquos a guru He took the primary apart and sure
enough discovered that the compensating sprocket was dead and the stator was leaking With parts ordered and Rejeanrsquos wife going to the Harley shop to pick them up Francine Lynne Rejean and Denis rode me to my hotel the Motel Chutes des Pegraveres in Dolbeau-Mistassini My gear and luggage was distributed over three of the four bikes
By the time we got in it was dark and everyone had to head home I enjoyed a wonderful steak for supper and then headed off to my beautiful room and after a boiling hot pounding shower I climbed into the queen-sized bed and with the sound of the falls lulling me to sleep
And thatrsquos where I will leave you until next weekhellipBelt Drive Betty

1 - Yoursquoll Become a Better DriverTherersquos no doubt that riding a motorcycle has its
benefits especially when it comes to driving a car Riding a motorcycle teaches you to look out for people who are trying to kill you yoursquoll see hazards sooner and yoursquoll end up with Ninja-like machine control So when it comes to driving yoursquoll put all that to work and be a cut above the rest Hopefully
2 - Everyone Wants To Talk To YouIt really doesnrsquot matter what kind of motorcycle
you ride yoursquoll find middle-aged men stare at you and your bike with a dreamy lust before giving you an unwanted compliment Chances are theyrsquoll have no idea what the bike is either
Choose a classic or even worse a modern classic and yoursquoll become a magnet for old men who have the knack of being able to have a conversation with you without you needing to add any input Yoursquoll reach for your helmet on more than one occasion but not be able to put in on and leave because theyrsquoll ask you a question when you try Yoursquoll be subjected to questions about your
bike that you donrsquot know the answer to or even care about
The conversation will go something like this Is that a Triumph I had a Triumph once (followed by 10 minutes of ldquoback in my day rdquo)
3 - When You Say Yoursquore A Biker This Is The First Image That
Comes To Peoplehellip
5 Things They Never Told You About Becoming A Bikerby Robert Whaley NW Ontario Motorcycling
You could be a nice guy you could have something that resembles a career you could do the occasional BBQ it doesnrsquot matter When you mention to anyone at a party that yoursquove got a motorcycle a picture of this guy will pop into their head Then as you explain that you donrsquot ride a cruiser and yoursquove got a sportsbike theyrsquoll just think yoursquore speaking Greek and will reevaluate you as some sort of nut job who tries to kill himself on the highways Itrsquos a no-win
4 - Bees and Other Flying Things Will Start To Scare You
Anything flying will scare you When yoursquore sitting around at a family BBQ and everyone starts going mental the moment a bee or a wasp arrives on the scene you sit there perfectly calm and wonder what all the fuss is about
However - when yoursquore on a bike itrsquos a different story There you are riding along on a nice sunny day with your visor up enjoying the countryside and the winding road in front of you
Then you spot it 50 metres away a large insect looks like its stopped going about its daily business and itrsquos homing in at you instead Before you can do anything about it it goes THHHHHWAP right on your cheek Close but luckily it didnrsquot get you in the eye Then you panic the little bastardrsquos still in your helmet You insert a clumsy leather-clad finger and try and flick whatever it is away but probably end up pissing it off even further Then you crank on the brakes and perform the worldrsquos fastest lid removal followed by a little bit of a flappy-armed dance
5 - You Canrsquot Figure Out Who To Wave ToWhen you get a motorcycle you become part of a
club Itrsquos a club no biker really talks about but yoursquore in it now and yoursquore not allowed to leave Ever When you first pass your test yoursquoll wave at anyone and everyone If yoursquore heading down a road and a dog looks at you the right way yoursquoll probably wave at him too
Unfortunately this will change There are no set rules as to how it will change but yoursquoll end up developing your own code Me I wave at everyone dogs too and donrsquot give a second thought to the riders that donrsquot wave back But thatrsquos just me Yoursquoll have to work out your own code
Breaking is one of the most important things that you will learn to do on a motorcycle When we first learn to ride we are taught techniques to protect ourselves from crashing such as breaking shifting and countersteering But generally the most effective way to avoid an accident is through proper use of the brakes
The rear brake in particular is probably one of the least understood controls on a motorcycle Many riders donrsquot use the rear brake at all claiming that it doesnrsquot actually aid in slowing down or stopping the bike and say that it locks up the rear tire when trying to use it In fact most experts agree that a balanced use of both the front and rear brake is the most effective way of slowing or stopping a motorcycle
The rear brake also plays a huge role in adding stability to the bike when maneuvering
Because of the weight distribution on a motorcycle the braking balance of stopping power between the front and rear is 70 on the front and 30 on the rear This should tell you that if you donrsquot use the rear brake at all you are loosing 30 of the potential stopping power on your bike This could become a critical factor if you find yourself in trouble and have to try
and avoid an accident
Why does the rear brake lock up Well once again it has to do with weight distribution When you find yourself in a braking situation and start applying the brakes the geometry of the bike changes (due partly to the suspension) and much of the total weight (bike + rider) is transferred to the front This allows the rider to apply much more front brake than rear brake (the 7030 ratio)
Learning the finer points of your bikersquos braking performance is the key to keeping your bike in control It is a good idea to explore those limits in a safe environment
Practice repeated stops in an abandoned parking lot and yoursquoll start to get a feel for the amount of
effort that triggers tire slippage or rear tire lock-up
Try stopping with your front brake only then rear only and then a combination of both Once you become more familiar with your bikersquos brakes the sensations of weight transfer will start to feel more apparent and familiar That way yoursquoll be much more aware of the limits of your bike and yoursquoll be much better prepared in stopping

CAV To Hold AGM During ATLANTICADE (Summerside PE)
ndash The relationship started off by accident back in 2007 in
Moncton during the inaugural Atlanticade eventldquoI saw these guys who were hanging around
together with CAV crests on their vests and didnrsquot really know who they wererdquo says Dale Hicks festival founder and chairman Hicks began to connect the dots on the final day when the closing parade ended at the local veteranrsquos health care center and the CAV riders were very engaged with the vets ldquoSo I starting asking ndash who are these guys and what does CAV stand forrdquo
That was over seven years ago and now the relationship between Atlanticade and the Canadian Army Veterans is as strong a bond as you will find anywhere in the world of motorcycle events
ldquoOnce we became aware of who the CAV group was and what they represented I said well this group reflects the best of what it means to be Canadian so we certainly wanted to build a relationship with themrdquo recalls Hicks
Since then CAV has played a significant role in some form or fashion at each Atlanticade event The festival now has a
ldquoSupport the Troopsrdquo activity incorporated into the schedule each year where CAV plays a lead role In addition CAV will also be found leading parades such as the Confederation Bridge Cruise and the Parade of Iron Horses
In fact in 2011 Hicks was surprised and honored to be presented with an
honorary membership into the CAV organization at the closing awards breakfast at the Algonquin Hotel in St Andrews
ldquoYeah they caught me off guard with that and I certainly was humbled and honored by to be presented the crest by Trapperrdquo says Hicks ldquoI donrsquot feel worthy of wearing the crest but I do sport it proudly at certain times during Atlanticaderdquo
The unique bond between the two organizations continues for the upcoming 8th annual festival being held in Summerside PEI from June 27th to
Continued Next Page
(Atlanticade chairman Dale Hicks had just presented Trapper Cane with the annual ldquoExperienced Rider Awardrdquo
when Cane turned the tables by presenting Hicks with his honorary CAV membership during the 2011 event)
July 1st Recenty CAV founder Paul (Trapper) Cane announced the grouprsquos annual general meeting will take place in Summerside in conjunction with Atlanticade
ldquoAtlanticade brings great energy to all riders and our CAV members certainly appreciate the extra efforts put forth by Dalersquos team to give us some profile at the eventrdquo says Cane ldquoNo doubt it has been a great relationship between the two organizations and we hope it continues well into the futurerdquo
For his part Hicks says that Atlanticade is very proud to be able to host the CAV ndash AGM as part of the 2014 festival ldquoWe always have a good turnout of CAV members at our event but this will mean an additional boost in participants from across the country We hope we can make it a little special for them and something they will remember years down the roadrdquo

and take a step up Pretty soon everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted offAnd the moral ishellip Life is going to shovel dirt on you all kinds of dirt The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up Each of our troubles is a steppingstone We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping never giving up Shake it off and take a step up

On the sixth day God turned to Archangel Gabriel and said Today
I am going to create a land called Canada It will be a land of outstanding natural beauty It shall have tall majestic mountains full of mountain goats and eagles beautiful sparkling lakes bountiful with bass and trout forests full of elk and moose high cliffs over-looking sandy beaches with an abundance of sea life and rivers stocked with salmon
God continued
I shall make the land rich in resources so as to make the inhabitants prosper I shall call these inhabitants Canadians and they shall be known as the most friendly people on the earth
But Lord asked Gabriel dont you think you are being too generous to these Canadians
Not really replied GodJust wait and see the winters I am going to give

While the boy and his father were watching with amazement a fat old lady in a wheel chair rolled up to the moving walls and pressed a button The walls opened and the lady rolled between them into a small room The walls closed and the boy and his father watched the small circular numbers above the walls light up sequentially They continued to watch until it reached the last number and then the numbers began to light in the reverse order Then the walls opened up again and a gorgeous voluptuous 24-year-old blonde woman stepped out The father not taking his eyes off the young woman said quietly to his son
Boy go git yo Momma
The Touch of a healerAn Irishman in a wheelchair entered a restaurant
one afternoon and asked the waitress for a cup of coffee The Irishman looked across the restaurant and asked Is that Jesus sitting over there The waitress nodded yes so the Irishman told her to give Jesus a cup of coffee on him
The next patron to come in was an Englishman with a hunched back He shuffled over to a booth painfully sat down and asked for a cup of hot tea He also glanced across the restaurant and asked Is that Jesus over there The waitress nodded so the Englishman said to give Jesus a cup of hot tea my treat
The third patron to come into the restaurant was a Redneck on crutches He hobbled over to a booth sat down and hollered Hey there sweet thang Hows about gettin me a cold glass of Coke He too looked across the restaurant and asked Is that
Gods boy over there The waitress once again nodded that it was so the Redneck said to give Jesus a cold glass of Coke on my bill
As Jesus got up to leave he passed by the Irishman touched him and said For your kindness you are healed The Irishman felt the strength come back to his legs got up and danced a jig right out the door
Jesus also passed by the Englishman touched him and said For your kindness you are healed The Englishman felt his back straightening up and he raised his hands praised the Lord and did a series of back flips out the door
Then Jesus walked up to the Redneck
The Redneck jumped up and yelled ldquoDonrsquot touch me Irsquom drawinrsquo disabilityrdquo
The most important thing for all motorcycle riders and vehicle drivers in Saskatchewan right now is standing-up and getting YOUR voice heardhellipand COUNTED
When it comes to the Saskatchewan Rate Review process each and every voice matters no matter how big no matter how small Every voice every opinion matters Use this process to make YOUR VOICE COUNT BEFORE April 28 2014 After thathellipit is too late
RAGE is here to continue what we started so successfully last year To continue to lobby SGI and the Provincial Government to put real and long-term public policy forward to end the continuous cycle of rate increases being implemented to
cover up escalating high-risk driving behaviour in Saskatchewan In a nutshell to stop just raising rates and not much else
If you parked a vehicle on the street downtown (any type of vehicle) and just left it there till it caused an accident How long would it take for that vehicle to be at-fault for causing one That is if it wasnrsquot stolen or vandalized first
Now if a person comes along gets into that same vehicle and drives off looking at their cellphone and texting How long
If it is a motorcycle and a person who just wrote their learners with zero experience (other than maybe a ride around the block) comes along gets on and rides off into traffic How long
The great thing about what we are putting forward is that it addresses ALL driver behavior Not vehicles but those who drive them ALL of us
You as a motorcycle and vehicle owner need to be speaking up this yearhellipin Saskatchewan you are more than likely both Making sure YOUR voice
Stand Up and Be Counted

This will allow RAGE to have a strong voice when it comes to the Personal Injury Insurance Review happening later this year Remember YOUR ldquoa-la-carterdquo recommendation has been approved by government
To continue to fight for mandatory safety training (Yes RAGE has always wanted this to be mandatory)
To continue to work with SGI on the things they are already implementing as a result of RAGE and ALL YOUR VOICES
YOUR VOICEno matter what your messageMATTERS to RAGE
Without all YOUR voicesindividuallyeach counting as 1UNITED into manyhellipSGI will simply not listen
Since the 1980rsquos and up until last yearvery few voices were raised to be counted during the Rate Review Process SGI pretty much did what they wantedthen last year BAM
For years SGI shut out anyone any group many efforts by the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel and the Provincial Government for any changeswhyNO UNITED VOICES Yes they brought in the 3 year MGDL in 2011 However they didnrsquot work with the groups involved past initial consultations SGI came to their own conclusions (no one could agree) and implemented what they
wanted SGI then stopped returning calls and continued to increase rates in 2012 and 2013
Even the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel has had difficulty getting the information they need from SGI to make informed decisions
Is it little wonder that the Minister Responsible for SGI felt she didnrsquot have to listen to the ldquosuggestionrdquo of the Rate Review Panel After all they never really had in previous years
Hammering us with another 15 increase could have been meant to knock us off our motorcycles and give up After all that hard workhellipand yet another increase Irsquom betting they expected us to cry in our coffee about how unfair they are about how they just do want they want anyway how we should just privatize and then do nothing more than that
Now that might have workedhellipin the past That is until last year the first time since the 1980rsquos when RAGE worked hard to organize YOUR voices YOU each used your own voices You each counted Then RAGE presented a proposal that took EACH ONE and MADE THEM COUNT as a UNITED VOICE
Then we did the unthinkablehellipWE STAYED We werenrsquot just there for 3 meetings WE
were 100 ALL INhellipFOR YOU To make sure YOUR VOICES continued to count RAGE continued to work with SGI on the wording for the recommendations put forward providing information for awareness sharing the ldquoCount Your Motorcyclerdquo game and much more
When it comes right down to it YOUR opinions and comments should matter to YOU IT does not matter if you donrsquot agree with the overall message of RAGE or your local riding club group
association coffee groupwhatever WHAT MATTERSis YOU getting YOUR VOICE
heard YOU canrsquot leave it up to everyone else You canrsquot assume anyone else is going to do this for YOU WE ALL MUST FIGHT
The worst thing you can do is nothing THAT is even worse than complaining and doing nothing Complaincomplain to your hearts contentto the Sask Rate Review Panel
THEN go have coffeeIf you canrsquot make it to the meeting in person
please at the very least contact the Rate Review Panel with YOUR voice
Each of our own voices count as 1 in this processjust as the voice of RAGE only counts as 1 We know SGI only listens when there are MANY following a UNITED theme

After a magnificent breakfast I started loading up my bike and it wasnrsquot long before the gang arrived to come take me sightseeing
Our first stop of the day after topping up our tanks was at the look out of Lac Saint Jean
From here you truly get a sense of how immense this lake is
We took some time to admire the view and chat about the plans for the rest of the day
Our next stop was to be the Camp Musical a purely French speaking musical camp for students to come and immerse themselves in the culture of the region and the music that is their passion
The camp has numerous housing units and the most incredible concert hall The Raymond Tremblay concert hall has 320 seats 2 piano rooms a bistro terrace and exhibition hall The Egyptian goddess Hathor is symbolized here and she represents happiness joy and music
The acoustics even when you are just speaking
well stunning would be the word to describe the sound quality
Everything about this 40-year-old institute screams creativity We went up to the gazebo on the observation deck and took in the panorama Breathtakingly beautiful you can see why this region inspires music and lyrics
After our tour of the camp was done we headed out towards the Village Historique Val-Jalbert Canadarsquos BEST preserved Ghost Town I couldnrsquot wait
The ride from the Camp Musical to Val-Jalbert which is just northwest of Chambord took about 30 minutes It was a wee bit overcast but the temperature was perfect for riding
When we arrived at Val-Jalbert we headed into the gorgeous visitor information centre and were assigned a tour guide named Michelle Pelletier Michelle turned out to be an amazing tour guide
She spoke in both French and English easily and made all of us feel so welcome

Saturday May 31st 2014 830 am Rain date June 1st rain or shine
We got in an electric cart and began our tour with Michelle telling us about the history of this town and why it is such a significant tourism and historical attraction
You see this town was the dream of one man Damase Jalbert He was the founder of the Ouiatchouan Pulp Company that built a pulp mill
here The town he founded for his employees started out as Saint-Georges-de-Ouiatchouan named for the river and the falls that powered the mill The name was changed to Val-Jalbert in 1913 in honor of the man whose dream it was
Damase wanted to build the best company town and provide his employees with a rarified quality of living
He died suddenly three years after opening the mill The mill faced a cash shortage and was bought by American shareholders in 1904 In 1909 the Chicoutimi Pulp Company bought it
From 1909 to 1922 the village flourished and was the envy of many surrounding communities
The company town offered employees electricity and running water in their homes a good 25 years before anyone else in Quebec had power
In 1923 the demand for mechanical pulp began to fall and by 1924 most of the workers had been laid off
On August 13th 1927 all operations ceased and over the next few years the village became abandoned
In 1942 the government took the property back for non-payment of taxes and in 1970 Val-Jalbert had new life breathed into it as a tourist attraction In recent years the government of Quebec has spent 19+ million dollars to upgrade and improve the visitors information centre put in a glass observation deck and a whole host of other improvements
Val-Jalbert must have been the most amazing town in the region in its day because this place is utterly amazing today The Quebec government has spent a lot of money and time restoring this
place to preserve the history and they have done an incredible job
Our first stop on the tour was the convent school where we met ldquoMother Superiorrdquo who took us through the school and answered our questions She was stern but I think there was a glint of mischief in her eyes as she ldquodisciplinedrdquo us on proper etiquette
There was the most amazing art display in
one room and in another the historical timeline of the residents of Val-Jalbert to take in The antiques and furnishings truly made you feel you were stuck in a time warp
After touring the school we headed towards the post office The ldquopostmistressrdquo was this chatty little gal that had us peeing ourselves we were laughing so hard It was pretty cool to see the old stamps and the various bits of equipment of the day
We walked up the street to take a tour of the restored duplexes that line the main street You have to see these places to truly appreciate them Imagine 1910 and you can flip a switch and have lights turn a tap and have water flush a toilet and not have to walk to the outhouse
These company houses were so well built and the people who lived here were fiercely loyal to the company that treated them so well
From the duplexes we went to the general store where we ran into the ldquoMayorrdquo the only person in town to have a car The general store offers up everything a visitor could need plus acts as a museum with lots of interesting period pieces on display
Michelle had gotten keys to show us the duplexes that have been upgraded and make up the 4 star accommodations offered here
We walked across the street and were taken to view to the most amazing hotel rooms
Rustic and yet modern these rooms are spacious well appointed and every one of them has unique little shadow boxes filled with antiques
All of the modern appliances Internet boxes and TV are all hidden in closets so that they are not visible It makes for a very appealing deacutecor
Although the rooms appear to only have one bed in the matter of a few moments Michelle had the
couch taken apart and the bed folded down out of the wall for a second bed
The bathrooms are absolute marvels with big tubs and glass showers
The parking for the hotel rooms is hidden behind a row of trees so that there is no real visual of anything modern on the face of things
From the hotel rooms we got back in the electric cart and headed towards the ldquoruinsrdquo Although many of the duplexes have been restored Michelle explained to us that the style of construction for the company houses had been changed and that
the newer houses had collapsed on themselves Some of the buildings are slated for restoration but many are too far-gone The streets they line are preserved so that one can walk by the ruins and get a feel for how large this town really was and how well laid out it was
Our next stop was the Mill Impressive is a good word to describe this place We had our lunch in the Old Mill Restaurant The food served here complimented the
atmosphere ndash IMPECCABLEThe chef Carl Murray has a great reputation that
he totally lives up toThe service
the food the atmosphere and the company were all top drawer
After our fabulous meal it was time to head to the tram and go experience the waterfalls
The ride up to the top gives you the most magnificent view of the region The Ouiatchouan Falls are some 65 feet higher than the Niagara Falls
and the power of them is palpable The rushing water is almost deafening as you walk out on to the glass observation deck
From the falls we walked down to the mill again and took in the most impressive interactive show I have ever experienced In the underbelly of the once abandoned mill amongst all of the monster gearing and shafts the lights go dim you feel the mist in the air and all of a sudden the walls become alive with characters from the original town and they take you through the historical timeline of the village and its people
It is absolutely captivating you become totally involved in the lives and the hardship of the villagers
The show signaled the end of our tour and Michelle took us back to the visitor information centre and sent us all off with gifts of blueberry jam and blueberry tea to remember our visit by
My bike had been acting up off and on and I had been keeping an eye out on a leak coming from the front of the engine The noise from the shifter region was becoming louder but I wasnrsquot experiencing any power loss so I kept an ear out and we kept riding
Our next stop was at the Cheddar Cheese Museum in Saint-Prime where a sweet young man took us on a tour
He showed us the old-fashioned way cheddar cheese was made and then we got to tour the museum portion of the factory 4 generations of the family Perron have made cheddar cheese here
The museum has over 650 artifacts that involve the familyrsquos history in cheese making including the stamps and other machinery used in exporting the cheese
The Cheddar Cheese Museum offers interactive displays and hosts several workshops on the art of making cheddar Upstairs you can view the family home of the Perronrsquos and see all of the period specific furnishings
Along with guided tours you can also sample the various types of cheddar cheese which we did and oh my I have never tasted cheddar that was so smooth and rich
After thanking our young guide for the fabulous tour we headed off
We stopped at Tim Hortonrsquos for a coffee and sitting out on the curb in front of my bike I could see the leak was getting worse I was very concerned and asked if there was a shop nearby where I could at least check the oil level in my primary
Rejean talked to one of the local riders Denis AKA Tarte au Sucre (Sweet Pie) and he took us to Carl Tremblayrsquos shop Carl is a mechanic that many here swear by His rates are far cheaper than the dealerships and every rider in the region says hersquos a guru He took the primary apart and sure
enough discovered that the compensating sprocket was dead and the stator was leaking With parts ordered and Rejeanrsquos wife going to the Harley shop to pick them up Francine Lynne Rejean and Denis rode me to my hotel the Motel Chutes des Pegraveres in Dolbeau-Mistassini My gear and luggage was distributed over three of the four bikes
By the time we got in it was dark and everyone had to head home I enjoyed a wonderful steak for supper and then headed off to my beautiful room and after a boiling hot pounding shower I climbed into the queen-sized bed and with the sound of the falls lulling me to sleep
And thatrsquos where I will leave you until next weekhellipBelt Drive Betty

1 - Yoursquoll Become a Better DriverTherersquos no doubt that riding a motorcycle has its
benefits especially when it comes to driving a car Riding a motorcycle teaches you to look out for people who are trying to kill you yoursquoll see hazards sooner and yoursquoll end up with Ninja-like machine control So when it comes to driving yoursquoll put all that to work and be a cut above the rest Hopefully
2 - Everyone Wants To Talk To YouIt really doesnrsquot matter what kind of motorcycle
you ride yoursquoll find middle-aged men stare at you and your bike with a dreamy lust before giving you an unwanted compliment Chances are theyrsquoll have no idea what the bike is either
Choose a classic or even worse a modern classic and yoursquoll become a magnet for old men who have the knack of being able to have a conversation with you without you needing to add any input Yoursquoll reach for your helmet on more than one occasion but not be able to put in on and leave because theyrsquoll ask you a question when you try Yoursquoll be subjected to questions about your
bike that you donrsquot know the answer to or even care about
The conversation will go something like this Is that a Triumph I had a Triumph once (followed by 10 minutes of ldquoback in my day rdquo)
3 - When You Say Yoursquore A Biker This Is The First Image That
Comes To Peoplehellip
5 Things They Never Told You About Becoming A Bikerby Robert Whaley NW Ontario Motorcycling
You could be a nice guy you could have something that resembles a career you could do the occasional BBQ it doesnrsquot matter When you mention to anyone at a party that yoursquove got a motorcycle a picture of this guy will pop into their head Then as you explain that you donrsquot ride a cruiser and yoursquove got a sportsbike theyrsquoll just think yoursquore speaking Greek and will reevaluate you as some sort of nut job who tries to kill himself on the highways Itrsquos a no-win
4 - Bees and Other Flying Things Will Start To Scare You
Anything flying will scare you When yoursquore sitting around at a family BBQ and everyone starts going mental the moment a bee or a wasp arrives on the scene you sit there perfectly calm and wonder what all the fuss is about
However - when yoursquore on a bike itrsquos a different story There you are riding along on a nice sunny day with your visor up enjoying the countryside and the winding road in front of you
Then you spot it 50 metres away a large insect looks like its stopped going about its daily business and itrsquos homing in at you instead Before you can do anything about it it goes THHHHHWAP right on your cheek Close but luckily it didnrsquot get you in the eye Then you panic the little bastardrsquos still in your helmet You insert a clumsy leather-clad finger and try and flick whatever it is away but probably end up pissing it off even further Then you crank on the brakes and perform the worldrsquos fastest lid removal followed by a little bit of a flappy-armed dance
5 - You Canrsquot Figure Out Who To Wave ToWhen you get a motorcycle you become part of a
club Itrsquos a club no biker really talks about but yoursquore in it now and yoursquore not allowed to leave Ever When you first pass your test yoursquoll wave at anyone and everyone If yoursquore heading down a road and a dog looks at you the right way yoursquoll probably wave at him too
Unfortunately this will change There are no set rules as to how it will change but yoursquoll end up developing your own code Me I wave at everyone dogs too and donrsquot give a second thought to the riders that donrsquot wave back But thatrsquos just me Yoursquoll have to work out your own code
Breaking is one of the most important things that you will learn to do on a motorcycle When we first learn to ride we are taught techniques to protect ourselves from crashing such as breaking shifting and countersteering But generally the most effective way to avoid an accident is through proper use of the brakes
The rear brake in particular is probably one of the least understood controls on a motorcycle Many riders donrsquot use the rear brake at all claiming that it doesnrsquot actually aid in slowing down or stopping the bike and say that it locks up the rear tire when trying to use it In fact most experts agree that a balanced use of both the front and rear brake is the most effective way of slowing or stopping a motorcycle
The rear brake also plays a huge role in adding stability to the bike when maneuvering
Because of the weight distribution on a motorcycle the braking balance of stopping power between the front and rear is 70 on the front and 30 on the rear This should tell you that if you donrsquot use the rear brake at all you are loosing 30 of the potential stopping power on your bike This could become a critical factor if you find yourself in trouble and have to try
and avoid an accident
Why does the rear brake lock up Well once again it has to do with weight distribution When you find yourself in a braking situation and start applying the brakes the geometry of the bike changes (due partly to the suspension) and much of the total weight (bike + rider) is transferred to the front This allows the rider to apply much more front brake than rear brake (the 7030 ratio)
Learning the finer points of your bikersquos braking performance is the key to keeping your bike in control It is a good idea to explore those limits in a safe environment
Practice repeated stops in an abandoned parking lot and yoursquoll start to get a feel for the amount of
effort that triggers tire slippage or rear tire lock-up
Try stopping with your front brake only then rear only and then a combination of both Once you become more familiar with your bikersquos brakes the sensations of weight transfer will start to feel more apparent and familiar That way yoursquoll be much more aware of the limits of your bike and yoursquoll be much better prepared in stopping

CAV To Hold AGM During ATLANTICADE (Summerside PE)
ndash The relationship started off by accident back in 2007 in
Moncton during the inaugural Atlanticade eventldquoI saw these guys who were hanging around
together with CAV crests on their vests and didnrsquot really know who they wererdquo says Dale Hicks festival founder and chairman Hicks began to connect the dots on the final day when the closing parade ended at the local veteranrsquos health care center and the CAV riders were very engaged with the vets ldquoSo I starting asking ndash who are these guys and what does CAV stand forrdquo
That was over seven years ago and now the relationship between Atlanticade and the Canadian Army Veterans is as strong a bond as you will find anywhere in the world of motorcycle events
ldquoOnce we became aware of who the CAV group was and what they represented I said well this group reflects the best of what it means to be Canadian so we certainly wanted to build a relationship with themrdquo recalls Hicks
Since then CAV has played a significant role in some form or fashion at each Atlanticade event The festival now has a
ldquoSupport the Troopsrdquo activity incorporated into the schedule each year where CAV plays a lead role In addition CAV will also be found leading parades such as the Confederation Bridge Cruise and the Parade of Iron Horses
In fact in 2011 Hicks was surprised and honored to be presented with an
honorary membership into the CAV organization at the closing awards breakfast at the Algonquin Hotel in St Andrews
ldquoYeah they caught me off guard with that and I certainly was humbled and honored by to be presented the crest by Trapperrdquo says Hicks ldquoI donrsquot feel worthy of wearing the crest but I do sport it proudly at certain times during Atlanticaderdquo
The unique bond between the two organizations continues for the upcoming 8th annual festival being held in Summerside PEI from June 27th to
Continued Next Page
(Atlanticade chairman Dale Hicks had just presented Trapper Cane with the annual ldquoExperienced Rider Awardrdquo
when Cane turned the tables by presenting Hicks with his honorary CAV membership during the 2011 event)
July 1st Recenty CAV founder Paul (Trapper) Cane announced the grouprsquos annual general meeting will take place in Summerside in conjunction with Atlanticade
ldquoAtlanticade brings great energy to all riders and our CAV members certainly appreciate the extra efforts put forth by Dalersquos team to give us some profile at the eventrdquo says Cane ldquoNo doubt it has been a great relationship between the two organizations and we hope it continues well into the futurerdquo
For his part Hicks says that Atlanticade is very proud to be able to host the CAV ndash AGM as part of the 2014 festival ldquoWe always have a good turnout of CAV members at our event but this will mean an additional boost in participants from across the country We hope we can make it a little special for them and something they will remember years down the roadrdquo

Wyz WisdomPeople often take the time to complain but rarely take the time to say ldquoyou done goodrdquo ndash take a momenthellipspread the happyhelliptell someone when theyrsquove done a good job today ndash WyzWmnSome Donkey WisdomOne day a farmerrsquos donkey fell down into a well The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to doFinally he decided the animal was old and the well needed to be covered up anyway it just wasnrsquot worth it to retrieve the donkey He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well At first the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly Then to everyonersquos amazement he quieted downA few shovel loads later the farmer finally looked down the well and was astonished at what he saw With every shovel of dirt that hit his back the donkey was doing something amazing He would shake it off and take a step up on the dirt As the farmerrsquos neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal he would shake it off
and take a step up Pretty soon everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted offAnd the moral ishellip Life is going to shovel dirt on you all kinds of dirt The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up Each of our troubles is a steppingstone We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping never giving up Shake it off and take a step up

On the sixth day God turned to Archangel Gabriel and said Today
I am going to create a land called Canada It will be a land of outstanding natural beauty It shall have tall majestic mountains full of mountain goats and eagles beautiful sparkling lakes bountiful with bass and trout forests full of elk and moose high cliffs over-looking sandy beaches with an abundance of sea life and rivers stocked with salmon
God continued
I shall make the land rich in resources so as to make the inhabitants prosper I shall call these inhabitants Canadians and they shall be known as the most friendly people on the earth
But Lord asked Gabriel dont you think you are being too generous to these Canadians
Not really replied GodJust wait and see the winters I am going to give

While the boy and his father were watching with amazement a fat old lady in a wheel chair rolled up to the moving walls and pressed a button The walls opened and the lady rolled between them into a small room The walls closed and the boy and his father watched the small circular numbers above the walls light up sequentially They continued to watch until it reached the last number and then the numbers began to light in the reverse order Then the walls opened up again and a gorgeous voluptuous 24-year-old blonde woman stepped out The father not taking his eyes off the young woman said quietly to his son

The Touch of a healerAn Irishman in a wheelchair entered a restaurant
one afternoon and asked the waitress for a cup of coffee The Irishman looked across the restaurant and asked Is that Jesus sitting over there The waitress nodded yes so the Irishman told her to give Jesus a cup of coffee on him
The next patron to come in was an Englishman with a hunched back He shuffled over to a booth painfully sat down and asked for a cup of hot tea He also glanced across the restaurant and asked Is that Jesus over there The waitress nodded so the Englishman said to give Jesus a cup of hot tea my treat
The third patron to come into the restaurant was a Redneck on crutches He hobbled over to a booth sat down and hollered Hey there sweet thang Hows about gettin me a cold glass of Coke He too looked across the restaurant and asked Is that
Gods boy over there The waitress once again nodded that it was so the Redneck said to give Jesus a cold glass of Coke on my bill
As Jesus got up to leave he passed by the Irishman touched him and said For your kindness you are healed The Irishman felt the strength come back to his legs got up and danced a jig right out the door
Jesus also passed by the Englishman touched him and said For your kindness you are healed The Englishman felt his back straightening up and he raised his hands praised the Lord and did a series of back flips out the door
Then Jesus walked up to the Redneck
The Redneck jumped up and yelled ldquoDonrsquot touch me Irsquom drawinrsquo disabilityrdquo
The most important thing for all motorcycle riders and vehicle drivers in Saskatchewan right now is standing-up and getting YOUR voice heardhellipand COUNTED
When it comes to the Saskatchewan Rate Review process each and every voice matters no matter how big no matter how small Every voice every opinion matters Use this process to make YOUR VOICE COUNT BEFORE April 28 2014 After thathellipit is too late
RAGE is here to continue what we started so successfully last year To continue to lobby SGI and the Provincial Government to put real and long-term public policy forward to end the continuous cycle of rate increases being implemented to
cover up escalating high-risk driving behaviour in Saskatchewan In a nutshell to stop just raising rates and not much else
If you parked a vehicle on the street downtown (any type of vehicle) and just left it there till it caused an accident How long would it take for that vehicle to be at-fault for causing one That is if it wasnrsquot stolen or vandalized first
Now if a person comes along gets into that same vehicle and drives off looking at their cellphone and texting How long
If it is a motorcycle and a person who just wrote their learners with zero experience (other than maybe a ride around the block) comes along gets on and rides off into traffic How long
The great thing about what we are putting forward is that it addresses ALL driver behavior Not vehicles but those who drive them ALL of us
You as a motorcycle and vehicle owner need to be speaking up this yearhellipin Saskatchewan you are more than likely both Making sure YOUR voice
Stand Up and Be Counted

To book an appointment or find out more about the BodyTalk System call
gets counted To stop the endless cycle of just raising rates with not much else
This will allow RAGE to have a strong voice when it comes to the Personal Injury Insurance Review happening later this year Remember YOUR ldquoa-la-carterdquo recommendation has been approved by government
To continue to fight for mandatory safety training (Yes RAGE has always wanted this to be mandatory)
To continue to work with SGI on the things they are already implementing as a result of RAGE and ALL YOUR VOICES
YOUR VOICEno matter what your messageMATTERS to RAGE
Without all YOUR voicesindividuallyeach counting as 1UNITED into manyhellipSGI will simply not listen
Since the 1980rsquos and up until last yearvery few voices were raised to be counted during the Rate Review Process SGI pretty much did what they wantedthen last year BAM
For years SGI shut out anyone any group many efforts by the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel and the Provincial Government for any changeswhyNO UNITED VOICES Yes they brought in the 3 year MGDL in 2011 However they didnrsquot work with the groups involved past initial consultations SGI came to their own conclusions (no one could agree) and implemented what they
wanted SGI then stopped returning calls and continued to increase rates in 2012 and 2013
Even the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel has had difficulty getting the information they need from SGI to make informed decisions
Is it little wonder that the Minister Responsible for SGI felt she didnrsquot have to listen to the ldquosuggestionrdquo of the Rate Review Panel After all they never really had in previous years
Hammering us with another 15 increase could have been meant to knock us off our motorcycles and give up After all that hard workhellipand yet another increase Irsquom betting they expected us to cry in our coffee about how unfair they are about how they just do want they want anyway how we should just privatize and then do nothing more than that
Now that might have workedhellipin the past That is until last year the first time since the 1980rsquos when RAGE worked hard to organize YOUR voices YOU each used your own voices You each counted Then RAGE presented a proposal that took EACH ONE and MADE THEM COUNT as a UNITED VOICE
Then we did the unthinkablehellipWE STAYED We werenrsquot just there for 3 meetings WE
were 100 ALL INhellipFOR YOU To make sure YOUR VOICES continued to count RAGE continued to work with SGI on the wording for the recommendations put forward providing information for awareness sharing the ldquoCount Your Motorcyclerdquo game and much more
When it comes right down to it YOUR opinions and comments should matter to YOU IT does not matter if you donrsquot agree with the overall message of RAGE or your local riding club group
association coffee groupwhatever WHAT MATTERSis YOU getting YOUR VOICE
heard YOU canrsquot leave it up to everyone else You canrsquot assume anyone else is going to do this for YOU WE ALL MUST FIGHT
The worst thing you can do is nothing THAT is even worse than complaining and doing nothing Complaincomplain to your hearts contentto the Sask Rate Review Panel
THEN go have coffeeIf you canrsquot make it to the meeting in person
please at the very least contact the Rate Review Panel with YOUR voice
Each of our own voices count as 1 in this processjust as the voice of RAGE only counts as 1 We know SGI only listens when there are MANY following a UNITED theme
YOU can get YOUR voice heardand COUNTEDby submitting your comments regarding the application by April 28 2014 using any of the following methods

We took some time to admire the view and chat about the plans for the rest of the day
Our next stop was to be the Camp Musical a purely French speaking musical camp for students to come and immerse themselves in the culture of the region and the music that is their passion
The camp has numerous housing units and the most incredible concert hall The Raymond Tremblay concert hall has 320 seats 2 piano rooms a bistro terrace and exhibition hall The Egyptian goddess Hathor is symbolized here and she represents happiness joy and music
The acoustics even when you are just speaking
well stunning would be the word to describe the sound quality
Everything about this 40-year-old institute screams creativity We went up to the gazebo on the observation deck and took in the panorama Breathtakingly beautiful you can see why this region inspires music and lyrics
After our tour of the camp was done we headed out towards the Village Historique Val-Jalbert Canadarsquos BEST preserved Ghost Town I couldnrsquot wait
The ride from the Camp Musical to Val-Jalbert which is just northwest of Chambord took about 30 minutes It was a wee bit overcast but the temperature was perfect for riding
When we arrived at Val-Jalbert we headed into the gorgeous visitor information centre and were assigned a tour guide named Michelle Pelletier Michelle turned out to be an amazing tour guide
She spoke in both French and English easily and made all of us feel so welcome

We got in an electric cart and began our tour with Michelle telling us about the history of this town and why it is such a significant tourism and historical attraction
You see this town was the dream of one man Damase Jalbert He was the founder of the Ouiatchouan Pulp Company that built a pulp mill
here The town he founded for his employees started out as Saint-Georges-de-Ouiatchouan named for the river and the falls that powered the mill The name was changed to Val-Jalbert in 1913 in honor of the man whose dream it was
Damase wanted to build the best company town and provide his employees with a rarified quality of living
He died suddenly three years after opening the mill The mill faced a cash shortage and was bought by American shareholders in 1904 In 1909 the Chicoutimi Pulp Company bought it
From 1909 to 1922 the village flourished and was the envy of many surrounding communities
The company town offered employees electricity and running water in their homes a good 25 years before anyone else in Quebec had power
In 1923 the demand for mechanical pulp began to fall and by 1924 most of the workers had been laid off
On August 13th 1927 all operations ceased and over the next few years the village became abandoned
In 1942 the government took the property back for non-payment of taxes and in 1970 Val-Jalbert had new life breathed into it as a tourist attraction In recent years the government of Quebec has spent 19+ million dollars to upgrade and improve the visitors information centre put in a glass observation deck and a whole host of other improvements
Val-Jalbert must have been the most amazing town in the region in its day because this place is utterly amazing today The Quebec government has spent a lot of money and time restoring this
place to preserve the history and they have done an incredible job
Our first stop on the tour was the convent school where we met ldquoMother Superiorrdquo who took us through the school and answered our questions She was stern but I think there was a glint of mischief in her eyes as she ldquodisciplinedrdquo us on proper etiquette
There was the most amazing art display in
one room and in another the historical timeline of the residents of Val-Jalbert to take in The antiques and furnishings truly made you feel you were stuck in a time warp
After touring the school we headed towards the post office The ldquopostmistressrdquo was this chatty little gal that had us peeing ourselves we were laughing so hard It was pretty cool to see the old stamps and the various bits of equipment of the day
We walked up the street to take a tour of the restored duplexes that line the main street You have to see these places to truly appreciate them Imagine 1910 and you can flip a switch and have lights turn a tap and have water flush a toilet and not have to walk to the outhouse
These company houses were so well built and the people who lived here were fiercely loyal to the company that treated them so well
From the duplexes we went to the general store where we ran into the ldquoMayorrdquo the only person in town to have a car The general store offers up everything a visitor could need plus acts as a museum with lots of interesting period pieces on display
Michelle had gotten keys to show us the duplexes that have been upgraded and make up the 4 star accommodations offered here
We walked across the street and were taken to view to the most amazing hotel rooms
Rustic and yet modern these rooms are spacious well appointed and every one of them has unique little shadow boxes filled with antiques
All of the modern appliances Internet boxes and TV are all hidden in closets so that they are not visible It makes for a very appealing deacutecor
Although the rooms appear to only have one bed in the matter of a few moments Michelle had the
couch taken apart and the bed folded down out of the wall for a second bed
The bathrooms are absolute marvels with big tubs and glass showers
The parking for the hotel rooms is hidden behind a row of trees so that there is no real visual of anything modern on the face of things
From the hotel rooms we got back in the electric cart and headed towards the ldquoruinsrdquo Although many of the duplexes have been restored Michelle explained to us that the style of construction for the company houses had been changed and that
the newer houses had collapsed on themselves Some of the buildings are slated for restoration but many are too far-gone The streets they line are preserved so that one can walk by the ruins and get a feel for how large this town really was and how well laid out it was
Our next stop was the Mill Impressive is a good word to describe this place We had our lunch in the Old Mill Restaurant The food served here complimented the
atmosphere ndash IMPECCABLEThe chef Carl Murray has a great reputation that
he totally lives up toThe service
the food the atmosphere and the company were all top drawer
After our fabulous meal it was time to head to the tram and go experience the waterfalls
The ride up to the top gives you the most magnificent view of the region The Ouiatchouan Falls are some 65 feet higher than the Niagara Falls
and the power of them is palpable The rushing water is almost deafening as you walk out on to the glass observation deck
From the falls we walked down to the mill again and took in the most impressive interactive show I have ever experienced In the underbelly of the once abandoned mill amongst all of the monster gearing and shafts the lights go dim you feel the mist in the air and all of a sudden the walls become alive with characters from the original town and they take you through the historical timeline of the village and its people
It is absolutely captivating you become totally involved in the lives and the hardship of the villagers
The show signaled the end of our tour and Michelle took us back to the visitor information centre and sent us all off with gifts of blueberry jam and blueberry tea to remember our visit by
My bike had been acting up off and on and I had been keeping an eye out on a leak coming from the front of the engine The noise from the shifter region was becoming louder but I wasnrsquot experiencing any power loss so I kept an ear out and we kept riding
Our next stop was at the Cheddar Cheese Museum in Saint-Prime where a sweet young man took us on a tour
He showed us the old-fashioned way cheddar cheese was made and then we got to tour the museum portion of the factory 4 generations of the family Perron have made cheddar cheese here
The museum has over 650 artifacts that involve the familyrsquos history in cheese making including the stamps and other machinery used in exporting the cheese
The Cheddar Cheese Museum offers interactive displays and hosts several workshops on the art of making cheddar Upstairs you can view the family home of the Perronrsquos and see all of the period specific furnishings
Along with guided tours you can also sample the various types of cheddar cheese which we did and oh my I have never tasted cheddar that was so smooth and rich
After thanking our young guide for the fabulous tour we headed off
We stopped at Tim Hortonrsquos for a coffee and sitting out on the curb in front of my bike I could see the leak was getting worse I was very concerned and asked if there was a shop nearby where I could at least check the oil level in my primary
Rejean talked to one of the local riders Denis AKA Tarte au Sucre (Sweet Pie) and he took us to Carl Tremblayrsquos shop Carl is a mechanic that many here swear by His rates are far cheaper than the dealerships and every rider in the region says hersquos a guru He took the primary apart and sure
enough discovered that the compensating sprocket was dead and the stator was leaking With parts ordered and Rejeanrsquos wife going to the Harley shop to pick them up Francine Lynne Rejean and Denis rode me to my hotel the Motel Chutes des Pegraveres in Dolbeau-Mistassini My gear and luggage was distributed over three of the four bikes
By the time we got in it was dark and everyone had to head home I enjoyed a wonderful steak for supper and then headed off to my beautiful room and after a boiling hot pounding shower I climbed into the queen-sized bed and with the sound of the falls lulling me to sleep
And thatrsquos where I will leave you until next weekhellipBelt Drive Betty

1 - Yoursquoll Become a Better DriverTherersquos no doubt that riding a motorcycle has its
benefits especially when it comes to driving a car Riding a motorcycle teaches you to look out for people who are trying to kill you yoursquoll see hazards sooner and yoursquoll end up with Ninja-like machine control So when it comes to driving yoursquoll put all that to work and be a cut above the rest Hopefully
2 - Everyone Wants To Talk To YouIt really doesnrsquot matter what kind of motorcycle
you ride yoursquoll find middle-aged men stare at you and your bike with a dreamy lust before giving you an unwanted compliment Chances are theyrsquoll have no idea what the bike is either
Choose a classic or even worse a modern classic and yoursquoll become a magnet for old men who have the knack of being able to have a conversation with you without you needing to add any input Yoursquoll reach for your helmet on more than one occasion but not be able to put in on and leave because theyrsquoll ask you a question when you try Yoursquoll be subjected to questions about your
bike that you donrsquot know the answer to or even care about
The conversation will go something like this Is that a Triumph I had a Triumph once (followed by 10 minutes of ldquoback in my day rdquo)
3 - When You Say Yoursquore A Biker This Is The First Image That
Comes To Peoplehellip
5 Things They Never Told You About Becoming A Bikerby Robert Whaley NW Ontario Motorcycling
You could be a nice guy you could have something that resembles a career you could do the occasional BBQ it doesnrsquot matter When you mention to anyone at a party that yoursquove got a motorcycle a picture of this guy will pop into their head Then as you explain that you donrsquot ride a cruiser and yoursquove got a sportsbike theyrsquoll just think yoursquore speaking Greek and will reevaluate you as some sort of nut job who tries to kill himself on the highways Itrsquos a no-win
4 - Bees and Other Flying Things Will Start To Scare You
Anything flying will scare you When yoursquore sitting around at a family BBQ and everyone starts going mental the moment a bee or a wasp arrives on the scene you sit there perfectly calm and wonder what all the fuss is about
However - when yoursquore on a bike itrsquos a different story There you are riding along on a nice sunny day with your visor up enjoying the countryside and the winding road in front of you
Then you spot it 50 metres away a large insect looks like its stopped going about its daily business and itrsquos homing in at you instead Before you can do anything about it it goes THHHHHWAP right on your cheek Close but luckily it didnrsquot get you in the eye Then you panic the little bastardrsquos still in your helmet You insert a clumsy leather-clad finger and try and flick whatever it is away but probably end up pissing it off even further Then you crank on the brakes and perform the worldrsquos fastest lid removal followed by a little bit of a flappy-armed dance
5 - You Canrsquot Figure Out Who To Wave ToWhen you get a motorcycle you become part of a
club Itrsquos a club no biker really talks about but yoursquore in it now and yoursquore not allowed to leave Ever When you first pass your test yoursquoll wave at anyone and everyone If yoursquore heading down a road and a dog looks at you the right way yoursquoll probably wave at him too
Unfortunately this will change There are no set rules as to how it will change but yoursquoll end up developing your own code Me I wave at everyone dogs too and donrsquot give a second thought to the riders that donrsquot wave back But thatrsquos just me Yoursquoll have to work out your own code
Breaking is one of the most important things that you will learn to do on a motorcycle When we first learn to ride we are taught techniques to protect ourselves from crashing such as breaking shifting and countersteering But generally the most effective way to avoid an accident is through proper use of the brakes
The rear brake in particular is probably one of the least understood controls on a motorcycle Many riders donrsquot use the rear brake at all claiming that it doesnrsquot actually aid in slowing down or stopping the bike and say that it locks up the rear tire when trying to use it In fact most experts agree that a balanced use of both the front and rear brake is the most effective way of slowing or stopping a motorcycle
The rear brake also plays a huge role in adding stability to the bike when maneuvering
Because of the weight distribution on a motorcycle the braking balance of stopping power between the front and rear is 70 on the front and 30 on the rear This should tell you that if you donrsquot use the rear brake at all you are loosing 30 of the potential stopping power on your bike This could become a critical factor if you find yourself in trouble and have to try
and avoid an accident
Why does the rear brake lock up Well once again it has to do with weight distribution When you find yourself in a braking situation and start applying the brakes the geometry of the bike changes (due partly to the suspension) and much of the total weight (bike + rider) is transferred to the front This allows the rider to apply much more front brake than rear brake (the 7030 ratio)
Learning the finer points of your bikersquos braking performance is the key to keeping your bike in control It is a good idea to explore those limits in a safe environment
Practice repeated stops in an abandoned parking lot and yoursquoll start to get a feel for the amount of
effort that triggers tire slippage or rear tire lock-up
Try stopping with your front brake only then rear only and then a combination of both Once you become more familiar with your bikersquos brakes the sensations of weight transfer will start to feel more apparent and familiar That way yoursquoll be much more aware of the limits of your bike and yoursquoll be much better prepared in stopping

CAV To Hold AGM During ATLANTICADE (Summerside PE)
ndash The relationship started off by accident back in 2007 in
Moncton during the inaugural Atlanticade eventldquoI saw these guys who were hanging around
together with CAV crests on their vests and didnrsquot really know who they wererdquo says Dale Hicks festival founder and chairman Hicks began to connect the dots on the final day when the closing parade ended at the local veteranrsquos health care center and the CAV riders were very engaged with the vets ldquoSo I starting asking ndash who are these guys and what does CAV stand forrdquo
That was over seven years ago and now the relationship between Atlanticade and the Canadian Army Veterans is as strong a bond as you will find anywhere in the world of motorcycle events
ldquoOnce we became aware of who the CAV group was and what they represented I said well this group reflects the best of what it means to be Canadian so we certainly wanted to build a relationship with themrdquo recalls Hicks
Since then CAV has played a significant role in some form or fashion at each Atlanticade event The festival now has a
ldquoSupport the Troopsrdquo activity incorporated into the schedule each year where CAV plays a lead role In addition CAV will also be found leading parades such as the Confederation Bridge Cruise and the Parade of Iron Horses
In fact in 2011 Hicks was surprised and honored to be presented with an
honorary membership into the CAV organization at the closing awards breakfast at the Algonquin Hotel in St Andrews
ldquoYeah they caught me off guard with that and I certainly was humbled and honored by to be presented the crest by Trapperrdquo says Hicks ldquoI donrsquot feel worthy of wearing the crest but I do sport it proudly at certain times during Atlanticaderdquo
The unique bond between the two organizations continues for the upcoming 8th annual festival being held in Summerside PEI from June 27th to
Continued Next Page
(Atlanticade chairman Dale Hicks had just presented Trapper Cane with the annual ldquoExperienced Rider Awardrdquo
when Cane turned the tables by presenting Hicks with his honorary CAV membership during the 2011 event)
July 1st Recenty CAV founder Paul (Trapper) Cane announced the grouprsquos annual general meeting will take place in Summerside in conjunction with Atlanticade
ldquoAtlanticade brings great energy to all riders and our CAV members certainly appreciate the extra efforts put forth by Dalersquos team to give us some profile at the eventrdquo says Cane ldquoNo doubt it has been a great relationship between the two organizations and we hope it continues well into the futurerdquo
For his part Hicks says that Atlanticade is very proud to be able to host the CAV ndash AGM as part of the 2014 festival ldquoWe always have a good turnout of CAV members at our event but this will mean an additional boost in participants from across the country We hope we can make it a little special for them and something they will remember years down the roadrdquo

and take a step up Pretty soon everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted offAnd the moral ishellip Life is going to shovel dirt on you all kinds of dirt The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up Each of our troubles is a steppingstone We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping never giving up Shake it off and take a step up

On the sixth day God turned to Archangel Gabriel and said Today
I am going to create a land called Canada It will be a land of outstanding natural beauty It shall have tall majestic mountains full of mountain goats and eagles beautiful sparkling lakes bountiful with bass and trout forests full of elk and moose high cliffs over-looking sandy beaches with an abundance of sea life and rivers stocked with salmon
God continued
I shall make the land rich in resources so as to make the inhabitants prosper I shall call these inhabitants Canadians and they shall be known as the most friendly people on the earth
But Lord asked Gabriel dont you think you are being too generous to these Canadians
Not really replied GodJust wait and see the winters I am going to give

The Touch of a healerAn Irishman in a wheelchair entered a restaurant
one afternoon and asked the waitress for a cup of coffee The Irishman looked across the restaurant and asked Is that Jesus sitting over there The waitress nodded yes so the Irishman told her to give Jesus a cup of coffee on him
The next patron to come in was an Englishman with a hunched back He shuffled over to a booth painfully sat down and asked for a cup of hot tea He also glanced across the restaurant and asked Is that Jesus over there The waitress nodded so the Englishman said to give Jesus a cup of hot tea my treat
The third patron to come into the restaurant was a Redneck on crutches He hobbled over to a booth sat down and hollered Hey there sweet thang Hows about gettin me a cold glass of Coke He too looked across the restaurant and asked Is that
Gods boy over there The waitress once again nodded that it was so the Redneck said to give Jesus a cold glass of Coke on my bill
As Jesus got up to leave he passed by the Irishman touched him and said For your kindness you are healed The Irishman felt the strength come back to his legs got up and danced a jig right out the door
Jesus also passed by the Englishman touched him and said For your kindness you are healed The Englishman felt his back straightening up and he raised his hands praised the Lord and did a series of back flips out the door
Then Jesus walked up to the Redneck
The Redneck jumped up and yelled ldquoDonrsquot touch me Irsquom drawinrsquo disabilityrdquo

RAGE is here to continue what we started so successfully last year To continue to lobby SGI and the Provincial Government to put real and long-term public policy forward to end the continuous cycle of rate increases being implemented to
cover up escalating high-risk driving behaviour in Saskatchewan In a nutshell to stop just raising rates and not much else
If you parked a vehicle on the street downtown (any type of vehicle) and just left it there till it caused an accident How long would it take for that vehicle to be at-fault for causing one That is if it wasnrsquot stolen or vandalized first
Now if a person comes along gets into that same vehicle and drives off looking at their cellphone and texting How long
If it is a motorcycle and a person who just wrote their learners with zero experience (other than maybe a ride around the block) comes along gets on and rides off into traffic How long
The great thing about what we are putting forward is that it addresses ALL driver behavior Not vehicles but those who drive them ALL of us
You as a motorcycle and vehicle owner need to be speaking up this yearhellipin Saskatchewan you are more than likely both Making sure YOUR voice
Stand Up and Be Counted

This will allow RAGE to have a strong voice when it comes to the Personal Injury Insurance Review happening later this year Remember YOUR ldquoa-la-carterdquo recommendation has been approved by government
To continue to fight for mandatory safety training (Yes RAGE has always wanted this to be mandatory)
To continue to work with SGI on the things they are already implementing as a result of RAGE and ALL YOUR VOICES
YOUR VOICEno matter what your messageMATTERS to RAGE
Without all YOUR voicesindividuallyeach counting as 1UNITED into manyhellipSGI will simply not listen
Since the 1980rsquos and up until last yearvery few voices were raised to be counted during the Rate Review Process SGI pretty much did what they wantedthen last year BAM
For years SGI shut out anyone any group many efforts by the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel and the Provincial Government for any changeswhyNO UNITED VOICES Yes they brought in the 3 year MGDL in 2011 However they didnrsquot work with the groups involved past initial consultations SGI came to their own conclusions (no one could agree) and implemented what they
wanted SGI then stopped returning calls and continued to increase rates in 2012 and 2013
Even the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel has had difficulty getting the information they need from SGI to make informed decisions
Is it little wonder that the Minister Responsible for SGI felt she didnrsquot have to listen to the ldquosuggestionrdquo of the Rate Review Panel After all they never really had in previous years
Hammering us with another 15 increase could have been meant to knock us off our motorcycles and give up After all that hard workhellipand yet another increase Irsquom betting they expected us to cry in our coffee about how unfair they are about how they just do want they want anyway how we should just privatize and then do nothing more than that
Now that might have workedhellipin the past That is until last year the first time since the 1980rsquos when RAGE worked hard to organize YOUR voices YOU each used your own voices You each counted Then RAGE presented a proposal that took EACH ONE and MADE THEM COUNT as a UNITED VOICE
Then we did the unthinkablehellipWE STAYED We werenrsquot just there for 3 meetings WE
were 100 ALL INhellipFOR YOU To make sure YOUR VOICES continued to count RAGE continued to work with SGI on the wording for the recommendations put forward providing information for awareness sharing the ldquoCount Your Motorcyclerdquo game and much more
When it comes right down to it YOUR opinions and comments should matter to YOU IT does not matter if you donrsquot agree with the overall message of RAGE or your local riding club group
association coffee groupwhatever WHAT MATTERSis YOU getting YOUR VOICE
heard YOU canrsquot leave it up to everyone else You canrsquot assume anyone else is going to do this for YOU WE ALL MUST FIGHT
The worst thing you can do is nothing THAT is even worse than complaining and doing nothing Complaincomplain to your hearts contentto the Sask Rate Review Panel
THEN go have coffeeIf you canrsquot make it to the meeting in person
please at the very least contact the Rate Review Panel with YOUR voice
Each of our own voices count as 1 in this processjust as the voice of RAGE only counts as 1 We know SGI only listens when there are MANY following a UNITED theme
YOU can get YOUR voice heardand COUNTEDby submitting your comments regarding the application by April 28 2014 using any of the following methods

After a magnificent breakfast I started loading up my bike and it wasnrsquot long before the gang arrived to come take me sightseeing
Our first stop of the day after topping up our tanks was at the look out of Lac Saint Jean
From here you truly get a sense of how immense this lake is
We took some time to admire the view and chat about the plans for the rest of the day
Our next stop was to be the Camp Musical a purely French speaking musical camp for students to come and immerse themselves in the culture of the region and the music that is their passion
The camp has numerous housing units and the most incredible concert hall The Raymond Tremblay concert hall has 320 seats 2 piano rooms a bistro terrace and exhibition hall The Egyptian goddess Hathor is symbolized here and she represents happiness joy and music
The acoustics even when you are just speaking
well stunning would be the word to describe the sound quality
Everything about this 40-year-old institute screams creativity We went up to the gazebo on the observation deck and took in the panorama Breathtakingly beautiful you can see why this region inspires music and lyrics
After our tour of the camp was done we headed out towards the Village Historique Val-Jalbert Canadarsquos BEST preserved Ghost Town I couldnrsquot wait
The ride from the Camp Musical to Val-Jalbert which is just northwest of Chambord took about 30 minutes It was a wee bit overcast but the temperature was perfect for riding
When we arrived at Val-Jalbert we headed into the gorgeous visitor information centre and were assigned a tour guide named Michelle Pelletier Michelle turned out to be an amazing tour guide
She spoke in both French and English easily and made all of us feel so welcome

Saturday May 31st 2014 830 am Rain date June 1st rain or shine
We got in an electric cart and began our tour with Michelle telling us about the history of this town and why it is such a significant tourism and historical attraction
You see this town was the dream of one man Damase Jalbert He was the founder of the Ouiatchouan Pulp Company that built a pulp mill
here The town he founded for his employees started out as Saint-Georges-de-Ouiatchouan named for the river and the falls that powered the mill The name was changed to Val-Jalbert in 1913 in honor of the man whose dream it was
Damase wanted to build the best company town and provide his employees with a rarified quality of living
He died suddenly three years after opening the mill The mill faced a cash shortage and was bought by American shareholders in 1904 In 1909 the Chicoutimi Pulp Company bought it
From 1909 to 1922 the village flourished and was the envy of many surrounding communities
The company town offered employees electricity and running water in their homes a good 25 years before anyone else in Quebec had power
In 1923 the demand for mechanical pulp began to fall and by 1924 most of the workers had been laid off
On August 13th 1927 all operations ceased and over the next few years the village became abandoned
In 1942 the government took the property back for non-payment of taxes and in 1970 Val-Jalbert had new life breathed into it as a tourist attraction In recent years the government of Quebec has spent 19+ million dollars to upgrade and improve the visitors information centre put in a glass observation deck and a whole host of other improvements
Val-Jalbert must have been the most amazing town in the region in its day because this place is utterly amazing today The Quebec government has spent a lot of money and time restoring this
place to preserve the history and they have done an incredible job
Our first stop on the tour was the convent school where we met ldquoMother Superiorrdquo who took us through the school and answered our questions She was stern but I think there was a glint of mischief in her eyes as she ldquodisciplinedrdquo us on proper etiquette
There was the most amazing art display in
one room and in another the historical timeline of the residents of Val-Jalbert to take in The antiques and furnishings truly made you feel you were stuck in a time warp
After touring the school we headed towards the post office The ldquopostmistressrdquo was this chatty little gal that had us peeing ourselves we were laughing so hard It was pretty cool to see the old stamps and the various bits of equipment of the day
We walked up the street to take a tour of the restored duplexes that line the main street You have to see these places to truly appreciate them Imagine 1910 and you can flip a switch and have lights turn a tap and have water flush a toilet and not have to walk to the outhouse
These company houses were so well built and the people who lived here were fiercely loyal to the company that treated them so well
From the duplexes we went to the general store where we ran into the ldquoMayorrdquo the only person in town to have a car The general store offers up everything a visitor could need plus acts as a museum with lots of interesting period pieces on display
Michelle had gotten keys to show us the duplexes that have been upgraded and make up the 4 star accommodations offered here
We walked across the street and were taken to view to the most amazing hotel rooms
Rustic and yet modern these rooms are spacious well appointed and every one of them has unique little shadow boxes filled with antiques
All of the modern appliances Internet boxes and TV are all hidden in closets so that they are not visible It makes for a very appealing deacutecor
Although the rooms appear to only have one bed in the matter of a few moments Michelle had the
couch taken apart and the bed folded down out of the wall for a second bed
The bathrooms are absolute marvels with big tubs and glass showers
The parking for the hotel rooms is hidden behind a row of trees so that there is no real visual of anything modern on the face of things
From the hotel rooms we got back in the electric cart and headed towards the ldquoruinsrdquo Although many of the duplexes have been restored Michelle explained to us that the style of construction for the company houses had been changed and that
the newer houses had collapsed on themselves Some of the buildings are slated for restoration but many are too far-gone The streets they line are preserved so that one can walk by the ruins and get a feel for how large this town really was and how well laid out it was
Our next stop was the Mill Impressive is a good word to describe this place We had our lunch in the Old Mill Restaurant The food served here complimented the
atmosphere ndash IMPECCABLEThe chef Carl Murray has a great reputation that
he totally lives up toThe service
the food the atmosphere and the company were all top drawer
After our fabulous meal it was time to head to the tram and go experience the waterfalls
The ride up to the top gives you the most magnificent view of the region The Ouiatchouan Falls are some 65 feet higher than the Niagara Falls
and the power of them is palpable The rushing water is almost deafening as you walk out on to the glass observation deck
From the falls we walked down to the mill again and took in the most impressive interactive show I have ever experienced In the underbelly of the once abandoned mill amongst all of the monster gearing and shafts the lights go dim you feel the mist in the air and all of a sudden the walls become alive with characters from the original town and they take you through the historical timeline of the village and its people
It is absolutely captivating you become totally involved in the lives and the hardship of the villagers
The show signaled the end of our tour and Michelle took us back to the visitor information centre and sent us all off with gifts of blueberry jam and blueberry tea to remember our visit by
My bike had been acting up off and on and I had been keeping an eye out on a leak coming from the front of the engine The noise from the shifter region was becoming louder but I wasnrsquot experiencing any power loss so I kept an ear out and we kept riding
Our next stop was at the Cheddar Cheese Museum in Saint-Prime where a sweet young man took us on a tour
He showed us the old-fashioned way cheddar cheese was made and then we got to tour the museum portion of the factory 4 generations of the family Perron have made cheddar cheese here
The museum has over 650 artifacts that involve the familyrsquos history in cheese making including the stamps and other machinery used in exporting the cheese
The Cheddar Cheese Museum offers interactive displays and hosts several workshops on the art of making cheddar Upstairs you can view the family home of the Perronrsquos and see all of the period specific furnishings
Along with guided tours you can also sample the various types of cheddar cheese which we did and oh my I have never tasted cheddar that was so smooth and rich
After thanking our young guide for the fabulous tour we headed off
We stopped at Tim Hortonrsquos for a coffee and sitting out on the curb in front of my bike I could see the leak was getting worse I was very concerned and asked if there was a shop nearby where I could at least check the oil level in my primary
Rejean talked to one of the local riders Denis AKA Tarte au Sucre (Sweet Pie) and he took us to Carl Tremblayrsquos shop Carl is a mechanic that many here swear by His rates are far cheaper than the dealerships and every rider in the region says hersquos a guru He took the primary apart and sure
enough discovered that the compensating sprocket was dead and the stator was leaking With parts ordered and Rejeanrsquos wife going to the Harley shop to pick them up Francine Lynne Rejean and Denis rode me to my hotel the Motel Chutes des Pegraveres in Dolbeau-Mistassini My gear and luggage was distributed over three of the four bikes
By the time we got in it was dark and everyone had to head home I enjoyed a wonderful steak for supper and then headed off to my beautiful room and after a boiling hot pounding shower I climbed into the queen-sized bed and with the sound of the falls lulling me to sleep
And thatrsquos where I will leave you until next weekhellipBelt Drive Betty

1 - Yoursquoll Become a Better DriverTherersquos no doubt that riding a motorcycle has its
benefits especially when it comes to driving a car Riding a motorcycle teaches you to look out for people who are trying to kill you yoursquoll see hazards sooner and yoursquoll end up with Ninja-like machine control So when it comes to driving yoursquoll put all that to work and be a cut above the rest Hopefully
2 - Everyone Wants To Talk To YouIt really doesnrsquot matter what kind of motorcycle
you ride yoursquoll find middle-aged men stare at you and your bike with a dreamy lust before giving you an unwanted compliment Chances are theyrsquoll have no idea what the bike is either
Choose a classic or even worse a modern classic and yoursquoll become a magnet for old men who have the knack of being able to have a conversation with you without you needing to add any input Yoursquoll reach for your helmet on more than one occasion but not be able to put in on and leave because theyrsquoll ask you a question when you try Yoursquoll be subjected to questions about your
bike that you donrsquot know the answer to or even care about
The conversation will go something like this Is that a Triumph I had a Triumph once (followed by 10 minutes of ldquoback in my day rdquo)
3 - When You Say Yoursquore A Biker This Is The First Image That
Comes To Peoplehellip
5 Things They Never Told You About Becoming A Bikerby Robert Whaley NW Ontario Motorcycling
You could be a nice guy you could have something that resembles a career you could do the occasional BBQ it doesnrsquot matter When you mention to anyone at a party that yoursquove got a motorcycle a picture of this guy will pop into their head Then as you explain that you donrsquot ride a cruiser and yoursquove got a sportsbike theyrsquoll just think yoursquore speaking Greek and will reevaluate you as some sort of nut job who tries to kill himself on the highways Itrsquos a no-win
4 - Bees and Other Flying Things Will Start To Scare You
Anything flying will scare you When yoursquore sitting around at a family BBQ and everyone starts going mental the moment a bee or a wasp arrives on the scene you sit there perfectly calm and wonder what all the fuss is about
However - when yoursquore on a bike itrsquos a different story There you are riding along on a nice sunny day with your visor up enjoying the countryside and the winding road in front of you
Then you spot it 50 metres away a large insect looks like its stopped going about its daily business and itrsquos homing in at you instead Before you can do anything about it it goes THHHHHWAP right on your cheek Close but luckily it didnrsquot get you in the eye Then you panic the little bastardrsquos still in your helmet You insert a clumsy leather-clad finger and try and flick whatever it is away but probably end up pissing it off even further Then you crank on the brakes and perform the worldrsquos fastest lid removal followed by a little bit of a flappy-armed dance
5 - You Canrsquot Figure Out Who To Wave ToWhen you get a motorcycle you become part of a
club Itrsquos a club no biker really talks about but yoursquore in it now and yoursquore not allowed to leave Ever When you first pass your test yoursquoll wave at anyone and everyone If yoursquore heading down a road and a dog looks at you the right way yoursquoll probably wave at him too
Unfortunately this will change There are no set rules as to how it will change but yoursquoll end up developing your own code Me I wave at everyone dogs too and donrsquot give a second thought to the riders that donrsquot wave back But thatrsquos just me Yoursquoll have to work out your own code
Breaking is one of the most important things that you will learn to do on a motorcycle When we first learn to ride we are taught techniques to protect ourselves from crashing such as breaking shifting and countersteering But generally the most effective way to avoid an accident is through proper use of the brakes
The rear brake in particular is probably one of the least understood controls on a motorcycle Many riders donrsquot use the rear brake at all claiming that it doesnrsquot actually aid in slowing down or stopping the bike and say that it locks up the rear tire when trying to use it In fact most experts agree that a balanced use of both the front and rear brake is the most effective way of slowing or stopping a motorcycle
The rear brake also plays a huge role in adding stability to the bike when maneuvering
Because of the weight distribution on a motorcycle the braking balance of stopping power between the front and rear is 70 on the front and 30 on the rear This should tell you that if you donrsquot use the rear brake at all you are loosing 30 of the potential stopping power on your bike This could become a critical factor if you find yourself in trouble and have to try
and avoid an accident
Why does the rear brake lock up Well once again it has to do with weight distribution When you find yourself in a braking situation and start applying the brakes the geometry of the bike changes (due partly to the suspension) and much of the total weight (bike + rider) is transferred to the front This allows the rider to apply much more front brake than rear brake (the 7030 ratio)
Learning the finer points of your bikersquos braking performance is the key to keeping your bike in control It is a good idea to explore those limits in a safe environment
Practice repeated stops in an abandoned parking lot and yoursquoll start to get a feel for the amount of
effort that triggers tire slippage or rear tire lock-up
Try stopping with your front brake only then rear only and then a combination of both Once you become more familiar with your bikersquos brakes the sensations of weight transfer will start to feel more apparent and familiar That way yoursquoll be much more aware of the limits of your bike and yoursquoll be much better prepared in stopping

CAV To Hold AGM During ATLANTICADE (Summerside PE)
ndash The relationship started off by accident back in 2007 in
Moncton during the inaugural Atlanticade eventldquoI saw these guys who were hanging around
together with CAV crests on their vests and didnrsquot really know who they wererdquo says Dale Hicks festival founder and chairman Hicks began to connect the dots on the final day when the closing parade ended at the local veteranrsquos health care center and the CAV riders were very engaged with the vets ldquoSo I starting asking ndash who are these guys and what does CAV stand forrdquo
That was over seven years ago and now the relationship between Atlanticade and the Canadian Army Veterans is as strong a bond as you will find anywhere in the world of motorcycle events
ldquoOnce we became aware of who the CAV group was and what they represented I said well this group reflects the best of what it means to be Canadian so we certainly wanted to build a relationship with themrdquo recalls Hicks
Since then CAV has played a significant role in some form or fashion at each Atlanticade event The festival now has a
ldquoSupport the Troopsrdquo activity incorporated into the schedule each year where CAV plays a lead role In addition CAV will also be found leading parades such as the Confederation Bridge Cruise and the Parade of Iron Horses
In fact in 2011 Hicks was surprised and honored to be presented with an
honorary membership into the CAV organization at the closing awards breakfast at the Algonquin Hotel in St Andrews
ldquoYeah they caught me off guard with that and I certainly was humbled and honored by to be presented the crest by Trapperrdquo says Hicks ldquoI donrsquot feel worthy of wearing the crest but I do sport it proudly at certain times during Atlanticaderdquo
The unique bond between the two organizations continues for the upcoming 8th annual festival being held in Summerside PEI from June 27th to

(Atlanticade chairman Dale Hicks had just presented Trapper Cane with the annual ldquoExperienced Rider Awardrdquo
when Cane turned the tables by presenting Hicks with his honorary CAV membership during the 2011 event)
July 1st Recenty CAV founder Paul (Trapper) Cane announced the grouprsquos annual general meeting will take place in Summerside in conjunction with Atlanticade
ldquoAtlanticade brings great energy to all riders and our CAV members certainly appreciate the extra efforts put forth by Dalersquos team to give us some profile at the eventrdquo says Cane ldquoNo doubt it has been a great relationship between the two organizations and we hope it continues well into the futurerdquo
For his part Hicks says that Atlanticade is very proud to be able to host the CAV ndash AGM as part of the 2014 festival ldquoWe always have a good turnout of CAV members at our event but this will mean an additional boost in participants from across the country We hope we can make it a little special for them and something they will remember years down the roadrdquo

Wyz WisdomPeople often take the time to complain but rarely take the time to say ldquoyou done goodrdquo ndash take a momenthellipspread the happyhelliptell someone when theyrsquove done a good job today ndash WyzWmnSome Donkey WisdomOne day a farmerrsquos donkey fell down into a well The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to doFinally he decided the animal was old and the well needed to be covered up anyway it just wasnrsquot worth it to retrieve the donkey He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well At first the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly Then to everyonersquos amazement he quieted downA few shovel loads later the farmer finally looked down the well and was astonished at what he saw With every shovel of dirt that hit his back the donkey was doing something amazing He would shake it off and take a step up on the dirt As the farmerrsquos neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal he would shake it off
and take a step up Pretty soon everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted offAnd the moral ishellip Life is going to shovel dirt on you all kinds of dirt The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up Each of our troubles is a steppingstone We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping never giving up Shake it off and take a step up

On the sixth day God turned to Archangel Gabriel and said Today
I am going to create a land called Canada It will be a land of outstanding natural beauty It shall have tall majestic mountains full of mountain goats and eagles beautiful sparkling lakes bountiful with bass and trout forests full of elk and moose high cliffs over-looking sandy beaches with an abundance of sea life and rivers stocked with salmon
God continued
I shall make the land rich in resources so as to make the inhabitants prosper I shall call these inhabitants Canadians and they shall be known as the most friendly people on the earth
But Lord asked Gabriel dont you think you are being too generous to these Canadians
Not really replied GodJust wait and see the winters I am going to give

While the boy and his father were watching with amazement a fat old lady in a wheel chair rolled up to the moving walls and pressed a button The walls opened and the lady rolled between them into a small room The walls closed and the boy and his father watched the small circular numbers above the walls light up sequentially They continued to watch until it reached the last number and then the numbers began to light in the reverse order Then the walls opened up again and a gorgeous voluptuous 24-year-old blonde woman stepped out The father not taking his eyes off the young woman said quietly to his son

The Touch of a healerAn Irishman in a wheelchair entered a restaurant
one afternoon and asked the waitress for a cup of coffee The Irishman looked across the restaurant and asked Is that Jesus sitting over there The waitress nodded yes so the Irishman told her to give Jesus a cup of coffee on him
The next patron to come in was an Englishman with a hunched back He shuffled over to a booth painfully sat down and asked for a cup of hot tea He also glanced across the restaurant and asked Is that Jesus over there The waitress nodded so the Englishman said to give Jesus a cup of hot tea my treat
The third patron to come into the restaurant was a Redneck on crutches He hobbled over to a booth sat down and hollered Hey there sweet thang Hows about gettin me a cold glass of Coke He too looked across the restaurant and asked Is that
Gods boy over there The waitress once again nodded that it was so the Redneck said to give Jesus a cold glass of Coke on my bill
As Jesus got up to leave he passed by the Irishman touched him and said For your kindness you are healed The Irishman felt the strength come back to his legs got up and danced a jig right out the door
Jesus also passed by the Englishman touched him and said For your kindness you are healed The Englishman felt his back straightening up and he raised his hands praised the Lord and did a series of back flips out the door
Then Jesus walked up to the Redneck
The Redneck jumped up and yelled ldquoDonrsquot touch me Irsquom drawinrsquo disabilityrdquo
The most important thing for all motorcycle riders and vehicle drivers in Saskatchewan right now is standing-up and getting YOUR voice heardhellipand COUNTED
When it comes to the Saskatchewan Rate Review process each and every voice matters no matter how big no matter how small Every voice every opinion matters Use this process to make YOUR VOICE COUNT BEFORE April 28 2014 After thathellipit is too late
RAGE is here to continue what we started so successfully last year To continue to lobby SGI and the Provincial Government to put real and long-term public policy forward to end the continuous cycle of rate increases being implemented to
cover up escalating high-risk driving behaviour in Saskatchewan In a nutshell to stop just raising rates and not much else
If you parked a vehicle on the street downtown (any type of vehicle) and just left it there till it caused an accident How long would it take for that vehicle to be at-fault for causing one That is if it wasnrsquot stolen or vandalized first
Now if a person comes along gets into that same vehicle and drives off looking at their cellphone and texting How long
If it is a motorcycle and a person who just wrote their learners with zero experience (other than maybe a ride around the block) comes along gets on and rides off into traffic How long
The great thing about what we are putting forward is that it addresses ALL driver behavior Not vehicles but those who drive them ALL of us
You as a motorcycle and vehicle owner need to be speaking up this yearhellipin Saskatchewan you are more than likely both Making sure YOUR voice
Stand Up and Be Counted

RAGE Dare to Know

The BodyTalk Systemwith Practitioner Bev Groot
To book an appointment or find out more about the BodyTalk System call
gets counted To stop the endless cycle of just raising rates with not much else
This will allow RAGE to have a strong voice when it comes to the Personal Injury Insurance Review happening later this year Remember YOUR ldquoa-la-carterdquo recommendation has been approved by government
To continue to fight for mandatory safety training (Yes RAGE has always wanted this to be mandatory)
To continue to work with SGI on the things they are already implementing as a result of RAGE and ALL YOUR VOICES
YOUR VOICEno matter what your messageMATTERS to RAGE
Without all YOUR voicesindividuallyeach counting as 1UNITED into manyhellipSGI will simply not listen
Since the 1980rsquos and up until last yearvery few voices were raised to be counted during the Rate Review Process SGI pretty much did what they wantedthen last year BAM
For years SGI shut out anyone any group many efforts by the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel and the Provincial Government for any changeswhyNO UNITED VOICES Yes they brought in the 3 year MGDL in 2011 However they didnrsquot work with the groups involved past initial consultations SGI came to their own conclusions (no one could agree) and implemented what they
wanted SGI then stopped returning calls and continued to increase rates in 2012 and 2013
Even the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel has had difficulty getting the information they need from SGI to make informed decisions
Is it little wonder that the Minister Responsible for SGI felt she didnrsquot have to listen to the ldquosuggestionrdquo of the Rate Review Panel After all they never really had in previous years
Hammering us with another 15 increase could have been meant to knock us off our motorcycles and give up After all that hard workhellipand yet another increase Irsquom betting they expected us to cry in our coffee about how unfair they are about how they just do want they want anyway how we should just privatize and then do nothing more than that
Now that might have workedhellipin the past That is until last year the first time since the 1980rsquos when RAGE worked hard to organize YOUR voices YOU each used your own voices You each counted Then RAGE presented a proposal that took EACH ONE and MADE THEM COUNT as a UNITED VOICE
Then we did the unthinkablehellipWE STAYED We werenrsquot just there for 3 meetings WE
were 100 ALL INhellipFOR YOU To make sure YOUR VOICES continued to count RAGE continued to work with SGI on the wording for the recommendations put forward providing information for awareness sharing the ldquoCount Your Motorcyclerdquo game and much more
When it comes right down to it YOUR opinions and comments should matter to YOU IT does not matter if you donrsquot agree with the overall message of RAGE or your local riding club group
association coffee groupwhatever WHAT MATTERSis YOU getting YOUR VOICE
heard YOU canrsquot leave it up to everyone else You canrsquot assume anyone else is going to do this for YOU WE ALL MUST FIGHT
The worst thing you can do is nothing THAT is even worse than complaining and doing nothing Complaincomplain to your hearts contentto the Sask Rate Review Panel
THEN go have coffeeIf you canrsquot make it to the meeting in person
please at the very least contact the Rate Review Panel with YOUR voice
Each of our own voices count as 1 in this processjust as the voice of RAGE only counts as 1 We know SGI only listens when there are MANY following a UNITED theme
YOU can get YOUR voice heardand COUNTEDby submitting your comments regarding the application by April 28 2014 using any of the following methods

After a magnificent breakfast I started loading up my bike and it wasnrsquot long before the gang arrived to come take me sightseeing
Our first stop of the day after topping up our tanks was at the look out of Lac Saint Jean
From here you truly get a sense of how immense this lake is
We took some time to admire the view and chat about the plans for the rest of the day
Our next stop was to be the Camp Musical a purely French speaking musical camp for students to come and immerse themselves in the culture of the region and the music that is their passion
The camp has numerous housing units and the most incredible concert hall The Raymond Tremblay concert hall has 320 seats 2 piano rooms a bistro terrace and exhibition hall The Egyptian goddess Hathor is symbolized here and she represents happiness joy and music
The acoustics even when you are just speaking
well stunning would be the word to describe the sound quality
Everything about this 40-year-old institute screams creativity We went up to the gazebo on the observation deck and took in the panorama Breathtakingly beautiful you can see why this region inspires music and lyrics
After our tour of the camp was done we headed out towards the Village Historique Val-Jalbert Canadarsquos BEST preserved Ghost Town I couldnrsquot wait
The ride from the Camp Musical to Val-Jalbert which is just northwest of Chambord took about 30 minutes It was a wee bit overcast but the temperature was perfect for riding
When we arrived at Val-Jalbert we headed into the gorgeous visitor information centre and were assigned a tour guide named Michelle Pelletier Michelle turned out to be an amazing tour guide
She spoke in both French and English easily and made all of us feel so welcome

We got in an electric cart and began our tour with Michelle telling us about the history of this town and why it is such a significant tourism and historical attraction
You see this town was the dream of one man Damase Jalbert He was the founder of the Ouiatchouan Pulp Company that built a pulp mill
here The town he founded for his employees started out as Saint-Georges-de-Ouiatchouan named for the river and the falls that powered the mill The name was changed to Val-Jalbert in 1913 in honor of the man whose dream it was
Damase wanted to build the best company town and provide his employees with a rarified quality of living
He died suddenly three years after opening the mill The mill faced a cash shortage and was bought by American shareholders in 1904 In 1909 the Chicoutimi Pulp Company bought it
From 1909 to 1922 the village flourished and was the envy of many surrounding communities
The company town offered employees electricity and running water in their homes a good 25 years before anyone else in Quebec had power
In 1923 the demand for mechanical pulp began to fall and by 1924 most of the workers had been laid off
On August 13th 1927 all operations ceased and over the next few years the village became abandoned
In 1942 the government took the property back for non-payment of taxes and in 1970 Val-Jalbert had new life breathed into it as a tourist attraction In recent years the government of Quebec has spent 19+ million dollars to upgrade and improve the visitors information centre put in a glass observation deck and a whole host of other improvements
Val-Jalbert must have been the most amazing town in the region in its day because this place is utterly amazing today The Quebec government has spent a lot of money and time restoring this
place to preserve the history and they have done an incredible job
Our first stop on the tour was the convent school where we met ldquoMother Superiorrdquo who took us through the school and answered our questions She was stern but I think there was a glint of mischief in her eyes as she ldquodisciplinedrdquo us on proper etiquette
There was the most amazing art display in
one room and in another the historical timeline of the residents of Val-Jalbert to take in The antiques and furnishings truly made you feel you were stuck in a time warp
After touring the school we headed towards the post office The ldquopostmistressrdquo was this chatty little gal that had us peeing ourselves we were laughing so hard It was pretty cool to see the old stamps and the various bits of equipment of the day
We walked up the street to take a tour of the restored duplexes that line the main street You have to see these places to truly appreciate them Imagine 1910 and you can flip a switch and have lights turn a tap and have water flush a toilet and not have to walk to the outhouse
These company houses were so well built and the people who lived here were fiercely loyal to the company that treated them so well
From the duplexes we went to the general store where we ran into the ldquoMayorrdquo the only person in town to have a car The general store offers up everything a visitor could need plus acts as a museum with lots of interesting period pieces on display
Michelle had gotten keys to show us the duplexes that have been upgraded and make up the 4 star accommodations offered here
We walked across the street and were taken to view to the most amazing hotel rooms
Rustic and yet modern these rooms are spacious well appointed and every one of them has unique little shadow boxes filled with antiques
All of the modern appliances Internet boxes and TV are all hidden in closets so that they are not visible It makes for a very appealing deacutecor
Although the rooms appear to only have one bed in the matter of a few moments Michelle had the
couch taken apart and the bed folded down out of the wall for a second bed
The bathrooms are absolute marvels with big tubs and glass showers
The parking for the hotel rooms is hidden behind a row of trees so that there is no real visual of anything modern on the face of things
From the hotel rooms we got back in the electric cart and headed towards the ldquoruinsrdquo Although many of the duplexes have been restored Michelle explained to us that the style of construction for the company houses had been changed and that
the newer houses had collapsed on themselves Some of the buildings are slated for restoration but many are too far-gone The streets they line are preserved so that one can walk by the ruins and get a feel for how large this town really was and how well laid out it was
Our next stop was the Mill Impressive is a good word to describe this place We had our lunch in the Old Mill Restaurant The food served here complimented the
atmosphere ndash IMPECCABLEThe chef Carl Murray has a great reputation that
he totally lives up toThe service
the food the atmosphere and the company were all top drawer
After our fabulous meal it was time to head to the tram and go experience the waterfalls
The ride up to the top gives you the most magnificent view of the region The Ouiatchouan Falls are some 65 feet higher than the Niagara Falls
and the power of them is palpable The rushing water is almost deafening as you walk out on to the glass observation deck
From the falls we walked down to the mill again and took in the most impressive interactive show I have ever experienced In the underbelly of the once abandoned mill amongst all of the monster gearing and shafts the lights go dim you feel the mist in the air and all of a sudden the walls become alive with characters from the original town and they take you through the historical timeline of the village and its people
It is absolutely captivating you become totally involved in the lives and the hardship of the villagers
The show signaled the end of our tour and Michelle took us back to the visitor information centre and sent us all off with gifts of blueberry jam and blueberry tea to remember our visit by
My bike had been acting up off and on and I had been keeping an eye out on a leak coming from the front of the engine The noise from the shifter region was becoming louder but I wasnrsquot experiencing any power loss so I kept an ear out and we kept riding
Our next stop was at the Cheddar Cheese Museum in Saint-Prime where a sweet young man took us on a tour
He showed us the old-fashioned way cheddar cheese was made and then we got to tour the museum portion of the factory 4 generations of the family Perron have made cheddar cheese here
The museum has over 650 artifacts that involve the familyrsquos history in cheese making including the stamps and other machinery used in exporting the cheese
The Cheddar Cheese Museum offers interactive displays and hosts several workshops on the art of making cheddar Upstairs you can view the family home of the Perronrsquos and see all of the period specific furnishings
Along with guided tours you can also sample the various types of cheddar cheese which we did and oh my I have never tasted cheddar that was so smooth and rich
After thanking our young guide for the fabulous tour we headed off
We stopped at Tim Hortonrsquos for a coffee and sitting out on the curb in front of my bike I could see the leak was getting worse I was very concerned and asked if there was a shop nearby where I could at least check the oil level in my primary
Rejean talked to one of the local riders Denis AKA Tarte au Sucre (Sweet Pie) and he took us to Carl Tremblayrsquos shop Carl is a mechanic that many here swear by His rates are far cheaper than the dealerships and every rider in the region says hersquos a guru He took the primary apart and sure
enough discovered that the compensating sprocket was dead and the stator was leaking With parts ordered and Rejeanrsquos wife going to the Harley shop to pick them up Francine Lynne Rejean and Denis rode me to my hotel the Motel Chutes des Pegraveres in Dolbeau-Mistassini My gear and luggage was distributed over three of the four bikes
By the time we got in it was dark and everyone had to head home I enjoyed a wonderful steak for supper and then headed off to my beautiful room and after a boiling hot pounding shower I climbed into the queen-sized bed and with the sound of the falls lulling me to sleep
And thatrsquos where I will leave you until next weekhellipBelt Drive Betty

1 - Yoursquoll Become a Better DriverTherersquos no doubt that riding a motorcycle has its
benefits especially when it comes to driving a car Riding a motorcycle teaches you to look out for people who are trying to kill you yoursquoll see hazards sooner and yoursquoll end up with Ninja-like machine control So when it comes to driving yoursquoll put all that to work and be a cut above the rest Hopefully
2 - Everyone Wants To Talk To YouIt really doesnrsquot matter what kind of motorcycle
you ride yoursquoll find middle-aged men stare at you and your bike with a dreamy lust before giving you an unwanted compliment Chances are theyrsquoll have no idea what the bike is either
Choose a classic or even worse a modern classic and yoursquoll become a magnet for old men who have the knack of being able to have a conversation with you without you needing to add any input Yoursquoll reach for your helmet on more than one occasion but not be able to put in on and leave because theyrsquoll ask you a question when you try Yoursquoll be subjected to questions about your
bike that you donrsquot know the answer to or even care about
The conversation will go something like this Is that a Triumph I had a Triumph once (followed by 10 minutes of ldquoback in my day rdquo)
3 - When You Say Yoursquore A Biker This Is The First Image That
Comes To Peoplehellip
5 Things They Never Told You About Becoming A Bikerby Robert Whaley NW Ontario Motorcycling
You could be a nice guy you could have something that resembles a career you could do the occasional BBQ it doesnrsquot matter When you mention to anyone at a party that yoursquove got a motorcycle a picture of this guy will pop into their head Then as you explain that you donrsquot ride a cruiser and yoursquove got a sportsbike theyrsquoll just think yoursquore speaking Greek and will reevaluate you as some sort of nut job who tries to kill himself on the highways Itrsquos a no-win
4 - Bees and Other Flying Things Will Start To Scare You
Anything flying will scare you When yoursquore sitting around at a family BBQ and everyone starts going mental the moment a bee or a wasp arrives on the scene you sit there perfectly calm and wonder what all the fuss is about
However - when yoursquore on a bike itrsquos a different story There you are riding along on a nice sunny day with your visor up enjoying the countryside and the winding road in front of you
Then you spot it 50 metres away a large insect looks like its stopped going about its daily business and itrsquos homing in at you instead Before you can do anything about it it goes THHHHHWAP right on your cheek Close but luckily it didnrsquot get you in the eye Then you panic the little bastardrsquos still in your helmet You insert a clumsy leather-clad finger and try and flick whatever it is away but probably end up pissing it off even further Then you crank on the brakes and perform the worldrsquos fastest lid removal followed by a little bit of a flappy-armed dance
5 - You Canrsquot Figure Out Who To Wave ToWhen you get a motorcycle you become part of a
club Itrsquos a club no biker really talks about but yoursquore in it now and yoursquore not allowed to leave Ever When you first pass your test yoursquoll wave at anyone and everyone If yoursquore heading down a road and a dog looks at you the right way yoursquoll probably wave at him too
Unfortunately this will change There are no set rules as to how it will change but yoursquoll end up developing your own code Me I wave at everyone dogs too and donrsquot give a second thought to the riders that donrsquot wave back But thatrsquos just me Yoursquoll have to work out your own code
Breaking is one of the most important things that you will learn to do on a motorcycle When we first learn to ride we are taught techniques to protect ourselves from crashing such as breaking shifting and countersteering But generally the most effective way to avoid an accident is through proper use of the brakes
The rear brake in particular is probably one of the least understood controls on a motorcycle Many riders donrsquot use the rear brake at all claiming that it doesnrsquot actually aid in slowing down or stopping the bike and say that it locks up the rear tire when trying to use it In fact most experts agree that a balanced use of both the front and rear brake is the most effective way of slowing or stopping a motorcycle
The rear brake also plays a huge role in adding stability to the bike when maneuvering
Because of the weight distribution on a motorcycle the braking balance of stopping power between the front and rear is 70 on the front and 30 on the rear This should tell you that if you donrsquot use the rear brake at all you are loosing 30 of the potential stopping power on your bike This could become a critical factor if you find yourself in trouble and have to try
and avoid an accident
Why does the rear brake lock up Well once again it has to do with weight distribution When you find yourself in a braking situation and start applying the brakes the geometry of the bike changes (due partly to the suspension) and much of the total weight (bike + rider) is transferred to the front This allows the rider to apply much more front brake than rear brake (the 7030 ratio)
Learning the finer points of your bikersquos braking performance is the key to keeping your bike in control It is a good idea to explore those limits in a safe environment
Practice repeated stops in an abandoned parking lot and yoursquoll start to get a feel for the amount of
effort that triggers tire slippage or rear tire lock-up
Try stopping with your front brake only then rear only and then a combination of both Once you become more familiar with your bikersquos brakes the sensations of weight transfer will start to feel more apparent and familiar That way yoursquoll be much more aware of the limits of your bike and yoursquoll be much better prepared in stopping

CAV To Hold AGM During ATLANTICADE (Summerside PE)
ndash The relationship started off by accident back in 2007 in
Moncton during the inaugural Atlanticade eventldquoI saw these guys who were hanging around
together with CAV crests on their vests and didnrsquot really know who they wererdquo says Dale Hicks festival founder and chairman Hicks began to connect the dots on the final day when the closing parade ended at the local veteranrsquos health care center and the CAV riders were very engaged with the vets ldquoSo I starting asking ndash who are these guys and what does CAV stand forrdquo
That was over seven years ago and now the relationship between Atlanticade and the Canadian Army Veterans is as strong a bond as you will find anywhere in the world of motorcycle events
ldquoOnce we became aware of who the CAV group was and what they represented I said well this group reflects the best of what it means to be Canadian so we certainly wanted to build a relationship with themrdquo recalls Hicks
Since then CAV has played a significant role in some form or fashion at each Atlanticade event The festival now has a
ldquoSupport the Troopsrdquo activity incorporated into the schedule each year where CAV plays a lead role In addition CAV will also be found leading parades such as the Confederation Bridge Cruise and the Parade of Iron Horses
In fact in 2011 Hicks was surprised and honored to be presented with an
honorary membership into the CAV organization at the closing awards breakfast at the Algonquin Hotel in St Andrews
ldquoYeah they caught me off guard with that and I certainly was humbled and honored by to be presented the crest by Trapperrdquo says Hicks ldquoI donrsquot feel worthy of wearing the crest but I do sport it proudly at certain times during Atlanticaderdquo
The unique bond between the two organizations continues for the upcoming 8th annual festival being held in Summerside PEI from June 27th to

(Atlanticade chairman Dale Hicks had just presented Trapper Cane with the annual ldquoExperienced Rider Awardrdquo
when Cane turned the tables by presenting Hicks with his honorary CAV membership during the 2011 event)
July 1st Recenty CAV founder Paul (Trapper) Cane announced the grouprsquos annual general meeting will take place in Summerside in conjunction with Atlanticade
ldquoAtlanticade brings great energy to all riders and our CAV members certainly appreciate the extra efforts put forth by Dalersquos team to give us some profile at the eventrdquo says Cane ldquoNo doubt it has been a great relationship between the two organizations and we hope it continues well into the futurerdquo
For his part Hicks says that Atlanticade is very proud to be able to host the CAV ndash AGM as part of the 2014 festival ldquoWe always have a good turnout of CAV members at our event but this will mean an additional boost in participants from across the country We hope we can make it a little special for them and something they will remember years down the roadrdquo

and take a step up Pretty soon everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted offAnd the moral ishellip Life is going to shovel dirt on you all kinds of dirt The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up Each of our troubles is a steppingstone We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping never giving up Shake it off and take a step up

On the sixth day God turned to Archangel Gabriel and said Today
I am going to create a land called Canada It will be a land of outstanding natural beauty It shall have tall majestic mountains full of mountain goats and eagles beautiful sparkling lakes bountiful with bass and trout forests full of elk and moose high cliffs over-looking sandy beaches with an abundance of sea life and rivers stocked with salmon
God continued
I shall make the land rich in resources so as to make the inhabitants prosper I shall call these inhabitants Canadians and they shall be known as the most friendly people on the earth
But Lord asked Gabriel dont you think you are being too generous to these Canadians
Not really replied GodJust wait and see the winters I am going to give

While the boy and his father were watching with amazement a fat old lady in a wheel chair rolled up to the moving walls and pressed a button The walls opened and the lady rolled between them into a small room The walls closed and the boy and his father watched the small circular numbers above the walls light up sequentially They continued to watch until it reached the last number and then the numbers began to light in the reverse order Then the walls opened up again and a gorgeous voluptuous 24-year-old blonde woman stepped out The father not taking his eyes off the young woman said quietly to his son

The Touch of a healerAn Irishman in a wheelchair entered a restaurant
one afternoon and asked the waitress for a cup of coffee The Irishman looked across the restaurant and asked Is that Jesus sitting over there The waitress nodded yes so the Irishman told her to give Jesus a cup of coffee on him
The next patron to come in was an Englishman with a hunched back He shuffled over to a booth painfully sat down and asked for a cup of hot tea He also glanced across the restaurant and asked Is that Jesus over there The waitress nodded so the Englishman said to give Jesus a cup of hot tea my treat
The third patron to come into the restaurant was a Redneck on crutches He hobbled over to a booth sat down and hollered Hey there sweet thang Hows about gettin me a cold glass of Coke He too looked across the restaurant and asked Is that
Gods boy over there The waitress once again nodded that it was so the Redneck said to give Jesus a cold glass of Coke on my bill
As Jesus got up to leave he passed by the Irishman touched him and said For your kindness you are healed The Irishman felt the strength come back to his legs got up and danced a jig right out the door
Jesus also passed by the Englishman touched him and said For your kindness you are healed The Englishman felt his back straightening up and he raised his hands praised the Lord and did a series of back flips out the door
Then Jesus walked up to the Redneck
The Redneck jumped up and yelled ldquoDonrsquot touch me Irsquom drawinrsquo disabilityrdquo
The most important thing for all motorcycle riders and vehicle drivers in Saskatchewan right now is standing-up and getting YOUR voice heardhellipand COUNTED
When it comes to the Saskatchewan Rate Review process each and every voice matters no matter how big no matter how small Every voice every opinion matters Use this process to make YOUR VOICE COUNT BEFORE April 28 2014 After thathellipit is too late
RAGE is here to continue what we started so successfully last year To continue to lobby SGI and the Provincial Government to put real and long-term public policy forward to end the continuous cycle of rate increases being implemented to
cover up escalating high-risk driving behaviour in Saskatchewan In a nutshell to stop just raising rates and not much else
If you parked a vehicle on the street downtown (any type of vehicle) and just left it there till it caused an accident How long would it take for that vehicle to be at-fault for causing one That is if it wasnrsquot stolen or vandalized first
Now if a person comes along gets into that same vehicle and drives off looking at their cellphone and texting How long
If it is a motorcycle and a person who just wrote their learners with zero experience (other than maybe a ride around the block) comes along gets on and rides off into traffic How long
The great thing about what we are putting forward is that it addresses ALL driver behavior Not vehicles but those who drive them ALL of us
You as a motorcycle and vehicle owner need to be speaking up this yearhellipin Saskatchewan you are more than likely both Making sure YOUR voice
Stand Up and Be Counted

RAGE Dare to Know
What your body needs to heal itself
The BodyTalk Systemwith Practitioner Bev Groot
To book an appointment or find out more about the BodyTalk System call
gets counted To stop the endless cycle of just raising rates with not much else
This will allow RAGE to have a strong voice when it comes to the Personal Injury Insurance Review happening later this year Remember YOUR ldquoa-la-carterdquo recommendation has been approved by government
To continue to fight for mandatory safety training (Yes RAGE has always wanted this to be mandatory)
To continue to work with SGI on the things they are already implementing as a result of RAGE and ALL YOUR VOICES
YOUR VOICEno matter what your messageMATTERS to RAGE
Without all YOUR voicesindividuallyeach counting as 1UNITED into manyhellipSGI will simply not listen
Since the 1980rsquos and up until last yearvery few voices were raised to be counted during the Rate Review Process SGI pretty much did what they wantedthen last year BAM
For years SGI shut out anyone any group many efforts by the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel and the Provincial Government for any changeswhyNO UNITED VOICES Yes they brought in the 3 year MGDL in 2011 However they didnrsquot work with the groups involved past initial consultations SGI came to their own conclusions (no one could agree) and implemented what they
wanted SGI then stopped returning calls and continued to increase rates in 2012 and 2013
Even the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel has had difficulty getting the information they need from SGI to make informed decisions
Is it little wonder that the Minister Responsible for SGI felt she didnrsquot have to listen to the ldquosuggestionrdquo of the Rate Review Panel After all they never really had in previous years
Hammering us with another 15 increase could have been meant to knock us off our motorcycles and give up After all that hard workhellipand yet another increase Irsquom betting they expected us to cry in our coffee about how unfair they are about how they just do want they want anyway how we should just privatize and then do nothing more than that

After a magnificent breakfast I started loading up my bike and it wasnrsquot long before the gang arrived to come take me sightseeing
Our first stop of the day after topping up our tanks was at the look out of Lac Saint Jean
From here you truly get a sense of how immense this lake is
We took some time to admire the view and chat about the plans for the rest of the day
Our next stop was to be the Camp Musical a purely French speaking musical camp for students to come and immerse themselves in the culture of the region and the music that is their passion
The camp has numerous housing units and the most incredible concert hall The Raymond Tremblay concert hall has 320 seats 2 piano rooms a bistro terrace and exhibition hall The Egyptian goddess Hathor is symbolized here and she represents happiness joy and music
The acoustics even when you are just speaking
well stunning would be the word to describe the sound quality
Everything about this 40-year-old institute screams creativity We went up to the gazebo on the observation deck and took in the panorama Breathtakingly beautiful you can see why this region inspires music and lyrics
After our tour of the camp was done we headed out towards the Village Historique Val-Jalbert Canadarsquos BEST preserved Ghost Town I couldnrsquot wait
The ride from the Camp Musical to Val-Jalbert which is just northwest of Chambord took about 30 minutes It was a wee bit overcast but the temperature was perfect for riding
When we arrived at Val-Jalbert we headed into the gorgeous visitor information centre and were assigned a tour guide named Michelle Pelletier Michelle turned out to be an amazing tour guide
She spoke in both French and English easily and made all of us feel so welcome

Saturday May 31st 2014 830 am Rain date June 1st rain or shine
We got in an electric cart and began our tour with Michelle telling us about the history of this town and why it is such a significant tourism and historical attraction
You see this town was the dream of one man Damase Jalbert He was the founder of the Ouiatchouan Pulp Company that built a pulp mill
here The town he founded for his employees started out as Saint-Georges-de-Ouiatchouan named for the river and the falls that powered the mill The name was changed to Val-Jalbert in 1913 in honor of the man whose dream it was
Damase wanted to build the best company town and provide his employees with a rarified quality of living
He died suddenly three years after opening the mill The mill faced a cash shortage and was bought by American shareholders in 1904 In 1909 the Chicoutimi Pulp Company bought it
From 1909 to 1922 the village flourished and was the envy of many surrounding communities
The company town offered employees electricity and running water in their homes a good 25 years before anyone else in Quebec had power
In 1923 the demand for mechanical pulp began to fall and by 1924 most of the workers had been laid off
On August 13th 1927 all operations ceased and over the next few years the village became abandoned
In 1942 the government took the property back for non-payment of taxes and in 1970 Val-Jalbert had new life breathed into it as a tourist attraction In recent years the government of Quebec has spent 19+ million dollars to upgrade and improve the visitors information centre put in a glass observation deck and a whole host of other improvements
Val-Jalbert must have been the most amazing town in the region in its day because this place is utterly amazing today The Quebec government has spent a lot of money and time restoring this
place to preserve the history and they have done an incredible job
Our first stop on the tour was the convent school where we met ldquoMother Superiorrdquo who took us through the school and answered our questions She was stern but I think there was a glint of mischief in her eyes as she ldquodisciplinedrdquo us on proper etiquette
There was the most amazing art display in
one room and in another the historical timeline of the residents of Val-Jalbert to take in The antiques and furnishings truly made you feel you were stuck in a time warp
After touring the school we headed towards the post office The ldquopostmistressrdquo was this chatty little gal that had us peeing ourselves we were laughing so hard It was pretty cool to see the old stamps and the various bits of equipment of the day
We walked up the street to take a tour of the restored duplexes that line the main street You have to see these places to truly appreciate them Imagine 1910 and you can flip a switch and have lights turn a tap and have water flush a toilet and not have to walk to the outhouse
These company houses were so well built and the people who lived here were fiercely loyal to the company that treated them so well
From the duplexes we went to the general store where we ran into the ldquoMayorrdquo the only person in town to have a car The general store offers up everything a visitor could need plus acts as a museum with lots of interesting period pieces on display
Michelle had gotten keys to show us the duplexes that have been upgraded and make up the 4 star accommodations offered here
We walked across the street and were taken to view to the most amazing hotel rooms
Rustic and yet modern these rooms are spacious well appointed and every one of them has unique little shadow boxes filled with antiques
All of the modern appliances Internet boxes and TV are all hidden in closets so that they are not visible It makes for a very appealing deacutecor
Although the rooms appear to only have one bed in the matter of a few moments Michelle had the
couch taken apart and the bed folded down out of the wall for a second bed
The bathrooms are absolute marvels with big tubs and glass showers
The parking for the hotel rooms is hidden behind a row of trees so that there is no real visual of anything modern on the face of things
From the hotel rooms we got back in the electric cart and headed towards the ldquoruinsrdquo Although many of the duplexes have been restored Michelle explained to us that the style of construction for the company houses had been changed and that
the newer houses had collapsed on themselves Some of the buildings are slated for restoration but many are too far-gone The streets they line are preserved so that one can walk by the ruins and get a feel for how large this town really was and how well laid out it was
Our next stop was the Mill Impressive is a good word to describe this place We had our lunch in the Old Mill Restaurant The food served here complimented the
atmosphere ndash IMPECCABLEThe chef Carl Murray has a great reputation that
he totally lives up toThe service
the food the atmosphere and the company were all top drawer
After our fabulous meal it was time to head to the tram and go experience the waterfalls
The ride up to the top gives you the most magnificent view of the region The Ouiatchouan Falls are some 65 feet higher than the Niagara Falls
and the power of them is palpable The rushing water is almost deafening as you walk out on to the glass observation deck
From the falls we walked down to the mill again and took in the most impressive interactive show I have ever experienced In the underbelly of the once abandoned mill amongst all of the monster gearing and shafts the lights go dim you feel the mist in the air and all of a sudden the walls become alive with characters from the original town and they take you through the historical timeline of the village and its people
It is absolutely captivating you become totally involved in the lives and the hardship of the villagers
The show signaled the end of our tour and Michelle took us back to the visitor information centre and sent us all off with gifts of blueberry jam and blueberry tea to remember our visit by
My bike had been acting up off and on and I had been keeping an eye out on a leak coming from the front of the engine The noise from the shifter region was becoming louder but I wasnrsquot experiencing any power loss so I kept an ear out and we kept riding
Our next stop was at the Cheddar Cheese Museum in Saint-Prime where a sweet young man took us on a tour
He showed us the old-fashioned way cheddar cheese was made and then we got to tour the museum portion of the factory 4 generations of the family Perron have made cheddar cheese here
The museum has over 650 artifacts that involve the familyrsquos history in cheese making including the stamps and other machinery used in exporting the cheese
The Cheddar Cheese Museum offers interactive displays and hosts several workshops on the art of making cheddar Upstairs you can view the family home of the Perronrsquos and see all of the period specific furnishings
Along with guided tours you can also sample the various types of cheddar cheese which we did and oh my I have never tasted cheddar that was so smooth and rich
After thanking our young guide for the fabulous tour we headed off
We stopped at Tim Hortonrsquos for a coffee and sitting out on the curb in front of my bike I could see the leak was getting worse I was very concerned and asked if there was a shop nearby where I could at least check the oil level in my primary
Rejean talked to one of the local riders Denis AKA Tarte au Sucre (Sweet Pie) and he took us to Carl Tremblayrsquos shop Carl is a mechanic that many here swear by His rates are far cheaper than the dealerships and every rider in the region says hersquos a guru He took the primary apart and sure
enough discovered that the compensating sprocket was dead and the stator was leaking With parts ordered and Rejeanrsquos wife going to the Harley shop to pick them up Francine Lynne Rejean and Denis rode me to my hotel the Motel Chutes des Pegraveres in Dolbeau-Mistassini My gear and luggage was distributed over three of the four bikes
By the time we got in it was dark and everyone had to head home I enjoyed a wonderful steak for supper and then headed off to my beautiful room and after a boiling hot pounding shower I climbed into the queen-sized bed and with the sound of the falls lulling me to sleep
And thatrsquos where I will leave you until next weekhellipBelt Drive Betty

1 - Yoursquoll Become a Better DriverTherersquos no doubt that riding a motorcycle has its
benefits especially when it comes to driving a car Riding a motorcycle teaches you to look out for people who are trying to kill you yoursquoll see hazards sooner and yoursquoll end up with Ninja-like machine control So when it comes to driving yoursquoll put all that to work and be a cut above the rest Hopefully
2 - Everyone Wants To Talk To YouIt really doesnrsquot matter what kind of motorcycle
you ride yoursquoll find middle-aged men stare at you and your bike with a dreamy lust before giving you an unwanted compliment Chances are theyrsquoll have no idea what the bike is either
Choose a classic or even worse a modern classic and yoursquoll become a magnet for old men who have the knack of being able to have a conversation with you without you needing to add any input Yoursquoll reach for your helmet on more than one occasion but not be able to put in on and leave because theyrsquoll ask you a question when you try Yoursquoll be subjected to questions about your
bike that you donrsquot know the answer to or even care about
The conversation will go something like this Is that a Triumph I had a Triumph once (followed by 10 minutes of ldquoback in my day rdquo)
3 - When You Say Yoursquore A Biker This Is The First Image That
Comes To Peoplehellip
5 Things They Never Told You About Becoming A Bikerby Robert Whaley NW Ontario Motorcycling
You could be a nice guy you could have something that resembles a career you could do the occasional BBQ it doesnrsquot matter When you mention to anyone at a party that yoursquove got a motorcycle a picture of this guy will pop into their head Then as you explain that you donrsquot ride a cruiser and yoursquove got a sportsbike theyrsquoll just think yoursquore speaking Greek and will reevaluate you as some sort of nut job who tries to kill himself on the highways Itrsquos a no-win
4 - Bees and Other Flying Things Will Start To Scare You
Anything flying will scare you When yoursquore sitting around at a family BBQ and everyone starts going mental the moment a bee or a wasp arrives on the scene you sit there perfectly calm and wonder what all the fuss is about
However - when yoursquore on a bike itrsquos a different story There you are riding along on a nice sunny day with your visor up enjoying the countryside and the winding road in front of you
Then you spot it 50 metres away a large insect looks like its stopped going about its daily business and itrsquos homing in at you instead Before you can do anything about it it goes THHHHHWAP right on your cheek Close but luckily it didnrsquot get you in the eye Then you panic the little bastardrsquos still in your helmet You insert a clumsy leather-clad finger and try and flick whatever it is away but probably end up pissing it off even further Then you crank on the brakes and perform the worldrsquos fastest lid removal followed by a little bit of a flappy-armed dance
5 - You Canrsquot Figure Out Who To Wave ToWhen you get a motorcycle you become part of a
club Itrsquos a club no biker really talks about but yoursquore in it now and yoursquore not allowed to leave Ever When you first pass your test yoursquoll wave at anyone and everyone If yoursquore heading down a road and a dog looks at you the right way yoursquoll probably wave at him too
Unfortunately this will change There are no set rules as to how it will change but yoursquoll end up developing your own code Me I wave at everyone dogs too and donrsquot give a second thought to the riders that donrsquot wave back But thatrsquos just me Yoursquoll have to work out your own code
Breaking is one of the most important things that you will learn to do on a motorcycle When we first learn to ride we are taught techniques to protect ourselves from crashing such as breaking shifting and countersteering But generally the most effective way to avoid an accident is through proper use of the brakes
The rear brake in particular is probably one of the least understood controls on a motorcycle Many riders donrsquot use the rear brake at all claiming that it doesnrsquot actually aid in slowing down or stopping the bike and say that it locks up the rear tire when trying to use it In fact most experts agree that a balanced use of both the front and rear brake is the most effective way of slowing or stopping a motorcycle
The rear brake also plays a huge role in adding stability to the bike when maneuvering
Because of the weight distribution on a motorcycle the braking balance of stopping power between the front and rear is 70 on the front and 30 on the rear This should tell you that if you donrsquot use the rear brake at all you are loosing 30 of the potential stopping power on your bike This could become a critical factor if you find yourself in trouble and have to try
and avoid an accident
Why does the rear brake lock up Well once again it has to do with weight distribution When you find yourself in a braking situation and start applying the brakes the geometry of the bike changes (due partly to the suspension) and much of the total weight (bike + rider) is transferred to the front This allows the rider to apply much more front brake than rear brake (the 7030 ratio)
Learning the finer points of your bikersquos braking performance is the key to keeping your bike in control It is a good idea to explore those limits in a safe environment
Practice repeated stops in an abandoned parking lot and yoursquoll start to get a feel for the amount of
effort that triggers tire slippage or rear tire lock-up
Try stopping with your front brake only then rear only and then a combination of both Once you become more familiar with your bikersquos brakes the sensations of weight transfer will start to feel more apparent and familiar That way yoursquoll be much more aware of the limits of your bike and yoursquoll be much better prepared in stopping

CAV To Hold AGM During ATLANTICADE (Summerside PE)
ndash The relationship started off by accident back in 2007 in
Moncton during the inaugural Atlanticade eventldquoI saw these guys who were hanging around
together with CAV crests on their vests and didnrsquot really know who they wererdquo says Dale Hicks festival founder and chairman Hicks began to connect the dots on the final day when the closing parade ended at the local veteranrsquos health care center and the CAV riders were very engaged with the vets ldquoSo I starting asking ndash who are these guys and what does CAV stand forrdquo
That was over seven years ago and now the relationship between Atlanticade and the Canadian Army Veterans is as strong a bond as you will find anywhere in the world of motorcycle events
ldquoOnce we became aware of who the CAV group was and what they represented I said well this group reflects the best of what it means to be Canadian so we certainly wanted to build a relationship with themrdquo recalls Hicks
Since then CAV has played a significant role in some form or fashion at each Atlanticade event The festival now has a
ldquoSupport the Troopsrdquo activity incorporated into the schedule each year where CAV plays a lead role In addition CAV will also be found leading parades such as the Confederation Bridge Cruise and the Parade of Iron Horses
In fact in 2011 Hicks was surprised and honored to be presented with an
honorary membership into the CAV organization at the closing awards breakfast at the Algonquin Hotel in St Andrews
ldquoYeah they caught me off guard with that and I certainly was humbled and honored by to be presented the crest by Trapperrdquo says Hicks ldquoI donrsquot feel worthy of wearing the crest but I do sport it proudly at certain times during Atlanticaderdquo
The unique bond between the two organizations continues for the upcoming 8th annual festival being held in Summerside PEI from June 27th to

(Atlanticade chairman Dale Hicks had just presented Trapper Cane with the annual ldquoExperienced Rider Awardrdquo
when Cane turned the tables by presenting Hicks with his honorary CAV membership during the 2011 event)
July 1st Recenty CAV founder Paul (Trapper) Cane announced the grouprsquos annual general meeting will take place in Summerside in conjunction with Atlanticade
ldquoAtlanticade brings great energy to all riders and our CAV members certainly appreciate the extra efforts put forth by Dalersquos team to give us some profile at the eventrdquo says Cane ldquoNo doubt it has been a great relationship between the two organizations and we hope it continues well into the futurerdquo
For his part Hicks says that Atlanticade is very proud to be able to host the CAV ndash AGM as part of the 2014 festival ldquoWe always have a good turnout of CAV members at our event but this will mean an additional boost in participants from across the country We hope we can make it a little special for them and something they will remember years down the roadrdquo

Wyz WisdomPeople often take the time to complain but rarely take the time to say ldquoyou done goodrdquo ndash take a momenthellipspread the happyhelliptell someone when theyrsquove done a good job today ndash WyzWmnSome Donkey WisdomOne day a farmerrsquos donkey fell down into a well The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to doFinally he decided the animal was old and the well needed to be covered up anyway it just wasnrsquot worth it to retrieve the donkey He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well At first the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly Then to everyonersquos amazement he quieted downA few shovel loads later the farmer finally looked down the well and was astonished at what he saw With every shovel of dirt that hit his back the donkey was doing something amazing He would shake it off and take a step up on the dirt As the farmerrsquos neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal he would shake it off
and take a step up Pretty soon everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted offAnd the moral ishellip Life is going to shovel dirt on you all kinds of dirt The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up Each of our troubles is a steppingstone We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping never giving up Shake it off and take a step up

On the sixth day God turned to Archangel Gabriel and said Today
I am going to create a land called Canada It will be a land of outstanding natural beauty It shall have tall majestic mountains full of mountain goats and eagles beautiful sparkling lakes bountiful with bass and trout forests full of elk and moose high cliffs over-looking sandy beaches with an abundance of sea life and rivers stocked with salmon
God continued
I shall make the land rich in resources so as to make the inhabitants prosper I shall call these inhabitants Canadians and they shall be known as the most friendly people on the earth
But Lord asked Gabriel dont you think you are being too generous to these Canadians
Not really replied GodJust wait and see the winters I am going to give

While the boy and his father were watching with amazement a fat old lady in a wheel chair rolled up to the moving walls and pressed a button The walls opened and the lady rolled between them into a small room The walls closed and the boy and his father watched the small circular numbers above the walls light up sequentially They continued to watch until it reached the last number and then the numbers began to light in the reverse order Then the walls opened up again and a gorgeous voluptuous 24-year-old blonde woman stepped out The father not taking his eyes off the young woman said quietly to his son

The Touch of a healerAn Irishman in a wheelchair entered a restaurant
one afternoon and asked the waitress for a cup of coffee The Irishman looked across the restaurant and asked Is that Jesus sitting over there The waitress nodded yes so the Irishman told her to give Jesus a cup of coffee on him
The next patron to come in was an Englishman with a hunched back He shuffled over to a booth painfully sat down and asked for a cup of hot tea He also glanced across the restaurant and asked Is that Jesus over there The waitress nodded so the Englishman said to give Jesus a cup of hot tea my treat
The third patron to come into the restaurant was a Redneck on crutches He hobbled over to a booth sat down and hollered Hey there sweet thang Hows about gettin me a cold glass of Coke He too looked across the restaurant and asked Is that
Gods boy over there The waitress once again nodded that it was so the Redneck said to give Jesus a cold glass of Coke on my bill
As Jesus got up to leave he passed by the Irishman touched him and said For your kindness you are healed The Irishman felt the strength come back to his legs got up and danced a jig right out the door
Jesus also passed by the Englishman touched him and said For your kindness you are healed The Englishman felt his back straightening up and he raised his hands praised the Lord and did a series of back flips out the door
Then Jesus walked up to the Redneck
The Redneck jumped up and yelled ldquoDonrsquot touch me Irsquom drawinrsquo disabilityrdquo
The most important thing for all motorcycle riders and vehicle drivers in Saskatchewan right now is standing-up and getting YOUR voice heardhellipand COUNTED
When it comes to the Saskatchewan Rate Review process each and every voice matters no matter how big no matter how small Every voice every opinion matters Use this process to make YOUR VOICE COUNT BEFORE April 28 2014 After thathellipit is too late
RAGE is here to continue what we started so successfully last year To continue to lobby SGI and the Provincial Government to put real and long-term public policy forward to end the continuous cycle of rate increases being implemented to
cover up escalating high-risk driving behaviour in Saskatchewan In a nutshell to stop just raising rates and not much else
If you parked a vehicle on the street downtown (any type of vehicle) and just left it there till it caused an accident How long would it take for that vehicle to be at-fault for causing one That is if it wasnrsquot stolen or vandalized first
Now if a person comes along gets into that same vehicle and drives off looking at their cellphone and texting How long
If it is a motorcycle and a person who just wrote their learners with zero experience (other than maybe a ride around the block) comes along gets on and rides off into traffic How long
The great thing about what we are putting forward is that it addresses ALL driver behavior Not vehicles but those who drive them ALL of us
You as a motorcycle and vehicle owner need to be speaking up this yearhellipin Saskatchewan you are more than likely both Making sure YOUR voice
Stand Up and Be Counted

RAGE Dare to Know

To book an appointment or find out more about the BodyTalk System call

This will allow RAGE to have a strong voice when it comes to the Personal Injury Insurance Review happening later this year Remember YOUR ldquoa-la-carterdquo recommendation has been approved by government
To continue to fight for mandatory safety training (Yes RAGE has always wanted this to be mandatory)
To continue to work with SGI on the things they are already implementing as a result of RAGE and ALL YOUR VOICES
YOUR VOICEno matter what your messageMATTERS to RAGE
Without all YOUR voicesindividuallyeach counting as 1UNITED into manyhellipSGI will simply not listen
Since the 1980rsquos and up until last yearvery few voices were raised to be counted during the Rate Review Process SGI pretty much did what they wantedthen last year BAM
For years SGI shut out anyone any group many efforts by the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel and the Provincial Government for any changeswhyNO UNITED VOICES Yes they brought in the 3 year MGDL in 2011 However they didnrsquot work with the groups involved past initial consultations SGI came to their own conclusions (no one could agree) and implemented what they
wanted SGI then stopped returning calls and continued to increase rates in 2012 and 2013
Even the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel has had difficulty getting the information they need from SGI to make informed decisions
Is it little wonder that the Minister Responsible for SGI felt she didnrsquot have to listen to the ldquosuggestionrdquo of the Rate Review Panel After all they never really had in previous years
Hammering us with another 15 increase could have been meant to knock us off our motorcycles and give up After all that hard workhellipand yet another increase Irsquom betting they expected us to cry in our coffee about how unfair they are about how they just do want they want anyway how we should just privatize and then do nothing more than that
Now that might have workedhellipin the past That is until last year the first time since the 1980rsquos when RAGE worked hard to organize YOUR voices YOU each used your own voices You each counted Then RAGE presented a proposal that took EACH ONE and MADE THEM COUNT as a UNITED VOICE
Then we did the unthinkablehellipWE STAYED We werenrsquot just there for 3 meetings WE
were 100 ALL INhellipFOR YOU To make sure YOUR VOICES continued to count RAGE continued to work with SGI on the wording for the recommendations put forward providing information for awareness sharing the ldquoCount Your Motorcyclerdquo game and much more
When it comes right down to it YOUR opinions and comments should matter to YOU IT does not matter if you donrsquot agree with the overall message of RAGE or your local riding club group
association coffee groupwhatever WHAT MATTERSis YOU getting YOUR VOICE
heard YOU canrsquot leave it up to everyone else You canrsquot assume anyone else is going to do this for YOU WE ALL MUST FIGHT
The worst thing you can do is nothing THAT is even worse than complaining and doing nothing Complaincomplain to your hearts contentto the Sask Rate Review Panel
THEN go have coffeeIf you canrsquot make it to the meeting in person
please at the very least contact the Rate Review Panel with YOUR voice
Each of our own voices count as 1 in this processjust as the voice of RAGE only counts as 1 We know SGI only listens when there are MANY following a UNITED theme
YOU can get YOUR voice heardand COUNTEDby submitting your comments regarding the application by April 28 2014 using any of the following methods

After a magnificent breakfast I started loading up my bike and it wasnrsquot long before the gang arrived to come take me sightseeing
Our first stop of the day after topping up our tanks was at the look out of Lac Saint Jean
From here you truly get a sense of how immense this lake is
We took some time to admire the view and chat about the plans for the rest of the day
Our next stop was to be the Camp Musical a purely French speaking musical camp for students to come and immerse themselves in the culture of the region and the music that is their passion
The camp has numerous housing units and the most incredible concert hall The Raymond Tremblay concert hall has 320 seats 2 piano rooms a bistro terrace and exhibition hall The Egyptian goddess Hathor is symbolized here and she represents happiness joy and music
The acoustics even when you are just speaking
well stunning would be the word to describe the sound quality
Everything about this 40-year-old institute screams creativity We went up to the gazebo on the observation deck and took in the panorama Breathtakingly beautiful you can see why this region inspires music and lyrics
After our tour of the camp was done we headed out towards the Village Historique Val-Jalbert Canadarsquos BEST preserved Ghost Town I couldnrsquot wait
The ride from the Camp Musical to Val-Jalbert which is just northwest of Chambord took about 30 minutes It was a wee bit overcast but the temperature was perfect for riding
When we arrived at Val-Jalbert we headed into the gorgeous visitor information centre and were assigned a tour guide named Michelle Pelletier Michelle turned out to be an amazing tour guide
She spoke in both French and English easily and made all of us feel so welcome

We got in an electric cart and began our tour with Michelle telling us about the history of this town and why it is such a significant tourism and historical attraction
You see this town was the dream of one man Damase Jalbert He was the founder of the Ouiatchouan Pulp Company that built a pulp mill
here The town he founded for his employees started out as Saint-Georges-de-Ouiatchouan named for the river and the falls that powered the mill The name was changed to Val-Jalbert in 1913 in honor of the man whose dream it was
Damase wanted to build the best company town and provide his employees with a rarified quality of living
He died suddenly three years after opening the mill The mill faced a cash shortage and was bought by American shareholders in 1904 In 1909 the Chicoutimi Pulp Company bought it
From 1909 to 1922 the village flourished and was the envy of many surrounding communities
The company town offered employees electricity and running water in their homes a good 25 years before anyone else in Quebec had power
In 1923 the demand for mechanical pulp began to fall and by 1924 most of the workers had been laid off
On August 13th 1927 all operations ceased and over the next few years the village became abandoned
In 1942 the government took the property back for non-payment of taxes and in 1970 Val-Jalbert had new life breathed into it as a tourist attraction In recent years the government of Quebec has spent 19+ million dollars to upgrade and improve the visitors information centre put in a glass observation deck and a whole host of other improvements
Val-Jalbert must have been the most amazing town in the region in its day because this place is utterly amazing today The Quebec government has spent a lot of money and time restoring this
place to preserve the history and they have done an incredible job
Our first stop on the tour was the convent school where we met ldquoMother Superiorrdquo who took us through the school and answered our questions She was stern but I think there was a glint of mischief in her eyes as she ldquodisciplinedrdquo us on proper etiquette
There was the most amazing art display in
one room and in another the historical timeline of the residents of Val-Jalbert to take in The antiques and furnishings truly made you feel you were stuck in a time warp
After touring the school we headed towards the post office The ldquopostmistressrdquo was this chatty little gal that had us peeing ourselves we were laughing so hard It was pretty cool to see the old stamps and the various bits of equipment of the day
We walked up the street to take a tour of the restored duplexes that line the main street You have to see these places to truly appreciate them Imagine 1910 and you can flip a switch and have lights turn a tap and have water flush a toilet and not have to walk to the outhouse
These company houses were so well built and the people who lived here were fiercely loyal to the company that treated them so well
From the duplexes we went to the general store where we ran into the ldquoMayorrdquo the only person in town to have a car The general store offers up everything a visitor could need plus acts as a museum with lots of interesting period pieces on display
Michelle had gotten keys to show us the duplexes that have been upgraded and make up the 4 star accommodations offered here
We walked across the street and were taken to view to the most amazing hotel rooms
Rustic and yet modern these rooms are spacious well appointed and every one of them has unique little shadow boxes filled with antiques
All of the modern appliances Internet boxes and TV are all hidden in closets so that they are not visible It makes for a very appealing deacutecor
Although the rooms appear to only have one bed in the matter of a few moments Michelle had the
couch taken apart and the bed folded down out of the wall for a second bed
The bathrooms are absolute marvels with big tubs and glass showers
The parking for the hotel rooms is hidden behind a row of trees so that there is no real visual of anything modern on the face of things
From the hotel rooms we got back in the electric cart and headed towards the ldquoruinsrdquo Although many of the duplexes have been restored Michelle explained to us that the style of construction for the company houses had been changed and that
the newer houses had collapsed on themselves Some of the buildings are slated for restoration but many are too far-gone The streets they line are preserved so that one can walk by the ruins and get a feel for how large this town really was and how well laid out it was
Our next stop was the Mill Impressive is a good word to describe this place We had our lunch in the Old Mill Restaurant The food served here complimented the
atmosphere ndash IMPECCABLEThe chef Carl Murray has a great reputation that
he totally lives up toThe service
the food the atmosphere and the company were all top drawer
After our fabulous meal it was time to head to the tram and go experience the waterfalls
The ride up to the top gives you the most magnificent view of the region The Ouiatchouan Falls are some 65 feet higher than the Niagara Falls
and the power of them is palpable The rushing water is almost deafening as you walk out on to the glass observation deck
From the falls we walked down to the mill again and took in the most impressive interactive show I have ever experienced In the underbelly of the once abandoned mill amongst all of the monster gearing and shafts the lights go dim you feel the mist in the air and all of a sudden the walls become alive with characters from the original town and they take you through the historical timeline of the village and its people
It is absolutely captivating you become totally involved in the lives and the hardship of the villagers
The show signaled the end of our tour and Michelle took us back to the visitor information centre and sent us all off with gifts of blueberry jam and blueberry tea to remember our visit by
My bike had been acting up off and on and I had been keeping an eye out on a leak coming from the front of the engine The noise from the shifter region was becoming louder but I wasnrsquot experiencing any power loss so I kept an ear out and we kept riding
Our next stop was at the Cheddar Cheese Museum in Saint-Prime where a sweet young man took us on a tour
He showed us the old-fashioned way cheddar cheese was made and then we got to tour the museum portion of the factory 4 generations of the family Perron have made cheddar cheese here
The museum has over 650 artifacts that involve the familyrsquos history in cheese making including the stamps and other machinery used in exporting the cheese
The Cheddar Cheese Museum offers interactive displays and hosts several workshops on the art of making cheddar Upstairs you can view the family home of the Perronrsquos and see all of the period specific furnishings
Along with guided tours you can also sample the various types of cheddar cheese which we did and oh my I have never tasted cheddar that was so smooth and rich
After thanking our young guide for the fabulous tour we headed off
We stopped at Tim Hortonrsquos for a coffee and sitting out on the curb in front of my bike I could see the leak was getting worse I was very concerned and asked if there was a shop nearby where I could at least check the oil level in my primary
Rejean talked to one of the local riders Denis AKA Tarte au Sucre (Sweet Pie) and he took us to Carl Tremblayrsquos shop Carl is a mechanic that many here swear by His rates are far cheaper than the dealerships and every rider in the region says hersquos a guru He took the primary apart and sure
enough discovered that the compensating sprocket was dead and the stator was leaking With parts ordered and Rejeanrsquos wife going to the Harley shop to pick them up Francine Lynne Rejean and Denis rode me to my hotel the Motel Chutes des Pegraveres in Dolbeau-Mistassini My gear and luggage was distributed over three of the four bikes
By the time we got in it was dark and everyone had to head home I enjoyed a wonderful steak for supper and then headed off to my beautiful room and after a boiling hot pounding shower I climbed into the queen-sized bed and with the sound of the falls lulling me to sleep
And thatrsquos where I will leave you until next weekhellipBelt Drive Betty

1 - Yoursquoll Become a Better DriverTherersquos no doubt that riding a motorcycle has its
benefits especially when it comes to driving a car Riding a motorcycle teaches you to look out for people who are trying to kill you yoursquoll see hazards sooner and yoursquoll end up with Ninja-like machine control So when it comes to driving yoursquoll put all that to work and be a cut above the rest Hopefully
2 - Everyone Wants To Talk To YouIt really doesnrsquot matter what kind of motorcycle
you ride yoursquoll find middle-aged men stare at you and your bike with a dreamy lust before giving you an unwanted compliment Chances are theyrsquoll have no idea what the bike is either
Choose a classic or even worse a modern classic and yoursquoll become a magnet for old men who have the knack of being able to have a conversation with you without you needing to add any input Yoursquoll reach for your helmet on more than one occasion but not be able to put in on and leave because theyrsquoll ask you a question when you try Yoursquoll be subjected to questions about your
bike that you donrsquot know the answer to or even care about
The conversation will go something like this Is that a Triumph I had a Triumph once (followed by 10 minutes of ldquoback in my day rdquo)
3 - When You Say Yoursquore A Biker This Is The First Image That
Comes To Peoplehellip
5 Things They Never Told You About Becoming A Bikerby Robert Whaley NW Ontario Motorcycling
You could be a nice guy you could have something that resembles a career you could do the occasional BBQ it doesnrsquot matter When you mention to anyone at a party that yoursquove got a motorcycle a picture of this guy will pop into their head Then as you explain that you donrsquot ride a cruiser and yoursquove got a sportsbike theyrsquoll just think yoursquore speaking Greek and will reevaluate you as some sort of nut job who tries to kill himself on the highways Itrsquos a no-win
4 - Bees and Other Flying Things Will Start To Scare You
Anything flying will scare you When yoursquore sitting around at a family BBQ and everyone starts going mental the moment a bee or a wasp arrives on the scene you sit there perfectly calm and wonder what all the fuss is about
However - when yoursquore on a bike itrsquos a different story There you are riding along on a nice sunny day with your visor up enjoying the countryside and the winding road in front of you
Then you spot it 50 metres away a large insect looks like its stopped going about its daily business and itrsquos homing in at you instead Before you can do anything about it it goes THHHHHWAP right on your cheek Close but luckily it didnrsquot get you in the eye Then you panic the little bastardrsquos still in your helmet You insert a clumsy leather-clad finger and try and flick whatever it is away but probably end up pissing it off even further Then you crank on the brakes and perform the worldrsquos fastest lid removal followed by a little bit of a flappy-armed dance
5 - You Canrsquot Figure Out Who To Wave ToWhen you get a motorcycle you become part of a
club Itrsquos a club no biker really talks about but yoursquore in it now and yoursquore not allowed to leave Ever When you first pass your test yoursquoll wave at anyone and everyone If yoursquore heading down a road and a dog looks at you the right way yoursquoll probably wave at him too
Unfortunately this will change There are no set rules as to how it will change but yoursquoll end up developing your own code Me I wave at everyone dogs too and donrsquot give a second thought to the riders that donrsquot wave back But thatrsquos just me Yoursquoll have to work out your own code
Breaking is one of the most important things that you will learn to do on a motorcycle When we first learn to ride we are taught techniques to protect ourselves from crashing such as breaking shifting and countersteering But generally the most effective way to avoid an accident is through proper use of the brakes
The rear brake in particular is probably one of the least understood controls on a motorcycle Many riders donrsquot use the rear brake at all claiming that it doesnrsquot actually aid in slowing down or stopping the bike and say that it locks up the rear tire when trying to use it In fact most experts agree that a balanced use of both the front and rear brake is the most effective way of slowing or stopping a motorcycle
The rear brake also plays a huge role in adding stability to the bike when maneuvering
Because of the weight distribution on a motorcycle the braking balance of stopping power between the front and rear is 70 on the front and 30 on the rear This should tell you that if you donrsquot use the rear brake at all you are loosing 30 of the potential stopping power on your bike This could become a critical factor if you find yourself in trouble and have to try
and avoid an accident
Why does the rear brake lock up Well once again it has to do with weight distribution When you find yourself in a braking situation and start applying the brakes the geometry of the bike changes (due partly to the suspension) and much of the total weight (bike + rider) is transferred to the front This allows the rider to apply much more front brake than rear brake (the 7030 ratio)
Learning the finer points of your bikersquos braking performance is the key to keeping your bike in control It is a good idea to explore those limits in a safe environment
Practice repeated stops in an abandoned parking lot and yoursquoll start to get a feel for the amount of
effort that triggers tire slippage or rear tire lock-up
Try stopping with your front brake only then rear only and then a combination of both Once you become more familiar with your bikersquos brakes the sensations of weight transfer will start to feel more apparent and familiar That way yoursquoll be much more aware of the limits of your bike and yoursquoll be much better prepared in stopping

CAV To Hold AGM During ATLANTICADE (Summerside PE)
ndash The relationship started off by accident back in 2007 in
Moncton during the inaugural Atlanticade eventldquoI saw these guys who were hanging around
together with CAV crests on their vests and didnrsquot really know who they wererdquo says Dale Hicks festival founder and chairman Hicks began to connect the dots on the final day when the closing parade ended at the local veteranrsquos health care center and the CAV riders were very engaged with the vets ldquoSo I starting asking ndash who are these guys and what does CAV stand forrdquo
That was over seven years ago and now the relationship between Atlanticade and the Canadian Army Veterans is as strong a bond as you will find anywhere in the world of motorcycle events
ldquoOnce we became aware of who the CAV group was and what they represented I said well this group reflects the best of what it means to be Canadian so we certainly wanted to build a relationship with themrdquo recalls Hicks
Since then CAV has played a significant role in some form or fashion at each Atlanticade event The festival now has a
ldquoSupport the Troopsrdquo activity incorporated into the schedule each year where CAV plays a lead role In addition CAV will also be found leading parades such as the Confederation Bridge Cruise and the Parade of Iron Horses
In fact in 2011 Hicks was surprised and honored to be presented with an
honorary membership into the CAV organization at the closing awards breakfast at the Algonquin Hotel in St Andrews
ldquoYeah they caught me off guard with that and I certainly was humbled and honored by to be presented the crest by Trapperrdquo says Hicks ldquoI donrsquot feel worthy of wearing the crest but I do sport it proudly at certain times during Atlanticaderdquo
The unique bond between the two organizations continues for the upcoming 8th annual festival being held in Summerside PEI from June 27th to

(Atlanticade chairman Dale Hicks had just presented Trapper Cane with the annual ldquoExperienced Rider Awardrdquo
when Cane turned the tables by presenting Hicks with his honorary CAV membership during the 2011 event)
July 1st Recenty CAV founder Paul (Trapper) Cane announced the grouprsquos annual general meeting will take place in Summerside in conjunction with Atlanticade
ldquoAtlanticade brings great energy to all riders and our CAV members certainly appreciate the extra efforts put forth by Dalersquos team to give us some profile at the eventrdquo says Cane ldquoNo doubt it has been a great relationship between the two organizations and we hope it continues well into the futurerdquo
For his part Hicks says that Atlanticade is very proud to be able to host the CAV ndash AGM as part of the 2014 festival ldquoWe always have a good turnout of CAV members at our event but this will mean an additional boost in participants from across the country We hope we can make it a little special for them and something they will remember years down the roadrdquo

and take a step up Pretty soon everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted offAnd the moral ishellip Life is going to shovel dirt on you all kinds of dirt The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up Each of our troubles is a steppingstone We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping never giving up Shake it off and take a step up

On the sixth day God turned to Archangel Gabriel and said Today
I am going to create a land called Canada It will be a land of outstanding natural beauty It shall have tall majestic mountains full of mountain goats and eagles beautiful sparkling lakes bountiful with bass and trout forests full of elk and moose high cliffs over-looking sandy beaches with an abundance of sea life and rivers stocked with salmon
God continued
I shall make the land rich in resources so as to make the inhabitants prosper I shall call these inhabitants Canadians and they shall be known as the most friendly people on the earth
But Lord asked Gabriel dont you think you are being too generous to these Canadians
Not really replied GodJust wait and see the winters I am going to give

While the boy and his father were watching with amazement a fat old lady in a wheel chair rolled up to the moving walls and pressed a button The walls opened and the lady rolled between them into a small room The walls closed and the boy and his father watched the small circular numbers above the walls light up sequentially They continued to watch until it reached the last number and then the numbers began to light in the reverse order Then the walls opened up again and a gorgeous voluptuous 24-year-old blonde woman stepped out The father not taking his eyes off the young woman said quietly to his son

The Touch of a healerAn Irishman in a wheelchair entered a restaurant
one afternoon and asked the waitress for a cup of coffee The Irishman looked across the restaurant and asked Is that Jesus sitting over there The waitress nodded yes so the Irishman told her to give Jesus a cup of coffee on him
The next patron to come in was an Englishman with a hunched back He shuffled over to a booth painfully sat down and asked for a cup of hot tea He also glanced across the restaurant and asked Is that Jesus over there The waitress nodded so the Englishman said to give Jesus a cup of hot tea my treat
The third patron to come into the restaurant was a Redneck on crutches He hobbled over to a booth sat down and hollered Hey there sweet thang Hows about gettin me a cold glass of Coke He too looked across the restaurant and asked Is that
Gods boy over there The waitress once again nodded that it was so the Redneck said to give Jesus a cold glass of Coke on my bill
As Jesus got up to leave he passed by the Irishman touched him and said For your kindness you are healed The Irishman felt the strength come back to his legs got up and danced a jig right out the door
Jesus also passed by the Englishman touched him and said For your kindness you are healed The Englishman felt his back straightening up and he raised his hands praised the Lord and did a series of back flips out the door
Then Jesus walked up to the Redneck
The Redneck jumped up and yelled ldquoDonrsquot touch me Irsquom drawinrsquo disabilityrdquo
The most important thing for all motorcycle riders and vehicle drivers in Saskatchewan right now is standing-up and getting YOUR voice heardhellipand COUNTED
When it comes to the Saskatchewan Rate Review process each and every voice matters no matter how big no matter how small Every voice every opinion matters Use this process to make YOUR VOICE COUNT BEFORE April 28 2014 After thathellipit is too late
RAGE is here to continue what we started so successfully last year To continue to lobby SGI and the Provincial Government to put real and long-term public policy forward to end the continuous cycle of rate increases being implemented to
cover up escalating high-risk driving behaviour in Saskatchewan In a nutshell to stop just raising rates and not much else
If you parked a vehicle on the street downtown (any type of vehicle) and just left it there till it caused an accident How long would it take for that vehicle to be at-fault for causing one That is if it wasnrsquot stolen or vandalized first
Now if a person comes along gets into that same vehicle and drives off looking at their cellphone and texting How long
If it is a motorcycle and a person who just wrote their learners with zero experience (other than maybe a ride around the block) comes along gets on and rides off into traffic How long
The great thing about what we are putting forward is that it addresses ALL driver behavior Not vehicles but those who drive them ALL of us
You as a motorcycle and vehicle owner need to be speaking up this yearhellipin Saskatchewan you are more than likely both Making sure YOUR voice
Stand Up and Be Counted

To book an appointment or find out more about the BodyTalk System call
gets counted To stop the endless cycle of just raising rates with not much else
This will allow RAGE to have a strong voice when it comes to the Personal Injury Insurance Review happening later this year Remember YOUR ldquoa-la-carterdquo recommendation has been approved by government
To continue to fight for mandatory safety training (Yes RAGE has always wanted this to be mandatory)
To continue to work with SGI on the things they are already implementing as a result of RAGE and ALL YOUR VOICES
YOUR VOICEno matter what your messageMATTERS to RAGE
Without all YOUR voicesindividuallyeach counting as 1UNITED into manyhellipSGI will simply not listen
Since the 1980rsquos and up until last yearvery few voices were raised to be counted during the Rate Review Process SGI pretty much did what they wantedthen last year BAM
For years SGI shut out anyone any group many efforts by the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel and the Provincial Government for any changeswhyNO UNITED VOICES Yes they brought in the 3 year MGDL in 2011 However they didnrsquot work with the groups involved past initial consultations SGI came to their own conclusions (no one could agree) and implemented what they
wanted SGI then stopped returning calls and continued to increase rates in 2012 and 2013
Even the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel has had difficulty getting the information they need from SGI to make informed decisions
Is it little wonder that the Minister Responsible for SGI felt she didnrsquot have to listen to the ldquosuggestionrdquo of the Rate Review Panel After all they never really had in previous years
Hammering us with another 15 increase could have been meant to knock us off our motorcycles and give up After all that hard workhellipand yet another increase Irsquom betting they expected us to cry in our coffee about how unfair they are about how they just do want they want anyway how we should just privatize and then do nothing more than that
Now that might have workedhellipin the past That is until last year the first time since the 1980rsquos when RAGE worked hard to organize YOUR voices YOU each used your own voices You each counted Then RAGE presented a proposal that took EACH ONE and MADE THEM COUNT as a UNITED VOICE
Then we did the unthinkablehellipWE STAYED We werenrsquot just there for 3 meetings WE
were 100 ALL INhellipFOR YOU To make sure YOUR VOICES continued to count RAGE continued to work with SGI on the wording for the recommendations put forward providing information for awareness sharing the ldquoCount Your Motorcyclerdquo game and much more
When it comes right down to it YOUR opinions and comments should matter to YOU IT does not matter if you donrsquot agree with the overall message of RAGE or your local riding club group
association coffee groupwhatever WHAT MATTERSis YOU getting YOUR VOICE
heard YOU canrsquot leave it up to everyone else You canrsquot assume anyone else is going to do this for YOU WE ALL MUST FIGHT
The worst thing you can do is nothing THAT is even worse than complaining and doing nothing Complaincomplain to your hearts contentto the Sask Rate Review Panel
THEN go have coffeeIf you canrsquot make it to the meeting in person
please at the very least contact the Rate Review Panel with YOUR voice
Each of our own voices count as 1 in this processjust as the voice of RAGE only counts as 1 We know SGI only listens when there are MANY following a UNITED theme
YOU can get YOUR voice heardand COUNTEDby submitting your comments regarding the application by April 28 2014 using any of the following methods

After a magnificent breakfast I started loading up my bike and it wasnrsquot long before the gang arrived to come take me sightseeing
Our first stop of the day after topping up our tanks was at the look out of Lac Saint Jean
From here you truly get a sense of how immense this lake is
We took some time to admire the view and chat about the plans for the rest of the day
Our next stop was to be the Camp Musical a purely French speaking musical camp for students to come and immerse themselves in the culture of the region and the music that is their passion
The camp has numerous housing units and the most incredible concert hall The Raymond Tremblay concert hall has 320 seats 2 piano rooms a bistro terrace and exhibition hall The Egyptian goddess Hathor is symbolized here and she represents happiness joy and music
The acoustics even when you are just speaking
well stunning would be the word to describe the sound quality
Everything about this 40-year-old institute screams creativity We went up to the gazebo on the observation deck and took in the panorama Breathtakingly beautiful you can see why this region inspires music and lyrics
After our tour of the camp was done we headed out towards the Village Historique Val-Jalbert Canadarsquos BEST preserved Ghost Town I couldnrsquot wait
The ride from the Camp Musical to Val-Jalbert which is just northwest of Chambord took about 30 minutes It was a wee bit overcast but the temperature was perfect for riding
When we arrived at Val-Jalbert we headed into the gorgeous visitor information centre and were assigned a tour guide named Michelle Pelletier Michelle turned out to be an amazing tour guide
She spoke in both French and English easily and made all of us feel so welcome

Saturday May 31st 2014 830 am Rain date June 1st rain or shine
We got in an electric cart and began our tour with Michelle telling us about the history of this town and why it is such a significant tourism and historical attraction
You see this town was the dream of one man Damase Jalbert He was the founder of the Ouiatchouan Pulp Company that built a pulp mill
here The town he founded for his employees started out as Saint-Georges-de-Ouiatchouan named for the river and the falls that powered the mill The name was changed to Val-Jalbert in 1913 in honor of the man whose dream it was
Damase wanted to build the best company town and provide his employees with a rarified quality of living
He died suddenly three years after opening the mill The mill faced a cash shortage and was bought by American shareholders in 1904 In 1909 the Chicoutimi Pulp Company bought it
From 1909 to 1922 the village flourished and was the envy of many surrounding communities
The company town offered employees electricity and running water in their homes a good 25 years before anyone else in Quebec had power
In 1923 the demand for mechanical pulp began to fall and by 1924 most of the workers had been laid off
On August 13th 1927 all operations ceased and over the next few years the village became abandoned
In 1942 the government took the property back for non-payment of taxes and in 1970 Val-Jalbert had new life breathed into it as a tourist attraction In recent years the government of Quebec has spent 19+ million dollars to upgrade and improve the visitors information centre put in a glass observation deck and a whole host of other improvements
Val-Jalbert must have been the most amazing town in the region in its day because this place is utterly amazing today The Quebec government has spent a lot of money and time restoring this
place to preserve the history and they have done an incredible job
Our first stop on the tour was the convent school where we met ldquoMother Superiorrdquo who took us through the school and answered our questions She was stern but I think there was a glint of mischief in her eyes as she ldquodisciplinedrdquo us on proper etiquette
There was the most amazing art display in
one room and in another the historical timeline of the residents of Val-Jalbert to take in The antiques and furnishings truly made you feel you were stuck in a time warp
After touring the school we headed towards the post office The ldquopostmistressrdquo was this chatty little gal that had us peeing ourselves we were laughing so hard It was pretty cool to see the old stamps and the various bits of equipment of the day
We walked up the street to take a tour of the restored duplexes that line the main street You have to see these places to truly appreciate them Imagine 1910 and you can flip a switch and have lights turn a tap and have water flush a toilet and not have to walk to the outhouse
These company houses were so well built and the people who lived here were fiercely loyal to the company that treated them so well
From the duplexes we went to the general store where we ran into the ldquoMayorrdquo the only person in town to have a car The general store offers up everything a visitor could need plus acts as a museum with lots of interesting period pieces on display
Michelle had gotten keys to show us the duplexes that have been upgraded and make up the 4 star accommodations offered here
We walked across the street and were taken to view to the most amazing hotel rooms
Rustic and yet modern these rooms are spacious well appointed and every one of them has unique little shadow boxes filled with antiques
All of the modern appliances Internet boxes and TV are all hidden in closets so that they are not visible It makes for a very appealing deacutecor
Although the rooms appear to only have one bed in the matter of a few moments Michelle had the
couch taken apart and the bed folded down out of the wall for a second bed
The bathrooms are absolute marvels with big tubs and glass showers
The parking for the hotel rooms is hidden behind a row of trees so that there is no real visual of anything modern on the face of things
From the hotel rooms we got back in the electric cart and headed towards the ldquoruinsrdquo Although many of the duplexes have been restored Michelle explained to us that the style of construction for the company houses had been changed and that
the newer houses had collapsed on themselves Some of the buildings are slated for restoration but many are too far-gone The streets they line are preserved so that one can walk by the ruins and get a feel for how large this town really was and how well laid out it was
Our next stop was the Mill Impressive is a good word to describe this place We had our lunch in the Old Mill Restaurant The food served here complimented the
atmosphere ndash IMPECCABLEThe chef Carl Murray has a great reputation that
he totally lives up toThe service
the food the atmosphere and the company were all top drawer
After our fabulous meal it was time to head to the tram and go experience the waterfalls
The ride up to the top gives you the most magnificent view of the region The Ouiatchouan Falls are some 65 feet higher than the Niagara Falls
and the power of them is palpable The rushing water is almost deafening as you walk out on to the glass observation deck
From the falls we walked down to the mill again and took in the most impressive interactive show I have ever experienced In the underbelly of the once abandoned mill amongst all of the monster gearing and shafts the lights go dim you feel the mist in the air and all of a sudden the walls become alive with characters from the original town and they take you through the historical timeline of the village and its people
It is absolutely captivating you become totally involved in the lives and the hardship of the villagers
The show signaled the end of our tour and Michelle took us back to the visitor information centre and sent us all off with gifts of blueberry jam and blueberry tea to remember our visit by
My bike had been acting up off and on and I had been keeping an eye out on a leak coming from the front of the engine The noise from the shifter region was becoming louder but I wasnrsquot experiencing any power loss so I kept an ear out and we kept riding
Our next stop was at the Cheddar Cheese Museum in Saint-Prime where a sweet young man took us on a tour
He showed us the old-fashioned way cheddar cheese was made and then we got to tour the museum portion of the factory 4 generations of the family Perron have made cheddar cheese here
The museum has over 650 artifacts that involve the familyrsquos history in cheese making including the stamps and other machinery used in exporting the cheese
The Cheddar Cheese Museum offers interactive displays and hosts several workshops on the art of making cheddar Upstairs you can view the family home of the Perronrsquos and see all of the period specific furnishings
Along with guided tours you can also sample the various types of cheddar cheese which we did and oh my I have never tasted cheddar that was so smooth and rich
After thanking our young guide for the fabulous tour we headed off
We stopped at Tim Hortonrsquos for a coffee and sitting out on the curb in front of my bike I could see the leak was getting worse I was very concerned and asked if there was a shop nearby where I could at least check the oil level in my primary
Rejean talked to one of the local riders Denis AKA Tarte au Sucre (Sweet Pie) and he took us to Carl Tremblayrsquos shop Carl is a mechanic that many here swear by His rates are far cheaper than the dealerships and every rider in the region says hersquos a guru He took the primary apart and sure
enough discovered that the compensating sprocket was dead and the stator was leaking With parts ordered and Rejeanrsquos wife going to the Harley shop to pick them up Francine Lynne Rejean and Denis rode me to my hotel the Motel Chutes des Pegraveres in Dolbeau-Mistassini My gear and luggage was distributed over three of the four bikes
By the time we got in it was dark and everyone had to head home I enjoyed a wonderful steak for supper and then headed off to my beautiful room and after a boiling hot pounding shower I climbed into the queen-sized bed and with the sound of the falls lulling me to sleep
And thatrsquos where I will leave you until next weekhellipBelt Drive Betty

1 - Yoursquoll Become a Better DriverTherersquos no doubt that riding a motorcycle has its
benefits especially when it comes to driving a car Riding a motorcycle teaches you to look out for people who are trying to kill you yoursquoll see hazards sooner and yoursquoll end up with Ninja-like machine control So when it comes to driving yoursquoll put all that to work and be a cut above the rest Hopefully
2 - Everyone Wants To Talk To YouIt really doesnrsquot matter what kind of motorcycle
you ride yoursquoll find middle-aged men stare at you and your bike with a dreamy lust before giving you an unwanted compliment Chances are theyrsquoll have no idea what the bike is either
Choose a classic or even worse a modern classic and yoursquoll become a magnet for old men who have the knack of being able to have a conversation with you without you needing to add any input Yoursquoll reach for your helmet on more than one occasion but not be able to put in on and leave because theyrsquoll ask you a question when you try Yoursquoll be subjected to questions about your
bike that you donrsquot know the answer to or even care about
The conversation will go something like this Is that a Triumph I had a Triumph once (followed by 10 minutes of ldquoback in my day rdquo)
3 - When You Say Yoursquore A Biker This Is The First Image That
Comes To Peoplehellip
5 Things They Never Told You About Becoming A Bikerby Robert Whaley NW Ontario Motorcycling
You could be a nice guy you could have something that resembles a career you could do the occasional BBQ it doesnrsquot matter When you mention to anyone at a party that yoursquove got a motorcycle a picture of this guy will pop into their head Then as you explain that you donrsquot ride a cruiser and yoursquove got a sportsbike theyrsquoll just think yoursquore speaking Greek and will reevaluate you as some sort of nut job who tries to kill himself on the highways Itrsquos a no-win
4 - Bees and Other Flying Things Will Start To Scare You
Anything flying will scare you When yoursquore sitting around at a family BBQ and everyone starts going mental the moment a bee or a wasp arrives on the scene you sit there perfectly calm and wonder what all the fuss is about
However - when yoursquore on a bike itrsquos a different story There you are riding along on a nice sunny day with your visor up enjoying the countryside and the winding road in front of you
Then you spot it 50 metres away a large insect looks like its stopped going about its daily business and itrsquos homing in at you instead Before you can do anything about it it goes THHHHHWAP right on your cheek Close but luckily it didnrsquot get you in the eye Then you panic the little bastardrsquos still in your helmet You insert a clumsy leather-clad finger and try and flick whatever it is away but probably end up pissing it off even further Then you crank on the brakes and perform the worldrsquos fastest lid removal followed by a little bit of a flappy-armed dance
5 - You Canrsquot Figure Out Who To Wave ToWhen you get a motorcycle you become part of a
club Itrsquos a club no biker really talks about but yoursquore in it now and yoursquore not allowed to leave Ever When you first pass your test yoursquoll wave at anyone and everyone If yoursquore heading down a road and a dog looks at you the right way yoursquoll probably wave at him too
Unfortunately this will change There are no set rules as to how it will change but yoursquoll end up developing your own code Me I wave at everyone dogs too and donrsquot give a second thought to the riders that donrsquot wave back But thatrsquos just me Yoursquoll have to work out your own code
Breaking is one of the most important things that you will learn to do on a motorcycle When we first learn to ride we are taught techniques to protect ourselves from crashing such as breaking shifting and countersteering But generally the most effective way to avoid an accident is through proper use of the brakes
The rear brake in particular is probably one of the least understood controls on a motorcycle Many riders donrsquot use the rear brake at all claiming that it doesnrsquot actually aid in slowing down or stopping the bike and say that it locks up the rear tire when trying to use it In fact most experts agree that a balanced use of both the front and rear brake is the most effective way of slowing or stopping a motorcycle
The rear brake also plays a huge role in adding stability to the bike when maneuvering
Because of the weight distribution on a motorcycle the braking balance of stopping power between the front and rear is 70 on the front and 30 on the rear This should tell you that if you donrsquot use the rear brake at all you are loosing 30 of the potential stopping power on your bike This could become a critical factor if you find yourself in trouble and have to try
and avoid an accident
Why does the rear brake lock up Well once again it has to do with weight distribution When you find yourself in a braking situation and start applying the brakes the geometry of the bike changes (due partly to the suspension) and much of the total weight (bike + rider) is transferred to the front This allows the rider to apply much more front brake than rear brake (the 7030 ratio)
Learning the finer points of your bikersquos braking performance is the key to keeping your bike in control It is a good idea to explore those limits in a safe environment
Practice repeated stops in an abandoned parking lot and yoursquoll start to get a feel for the amount of
effort that triggers tire slippage or rear tire lock-up
Try stopping with your front brake only then rear only and then a combination of both Once you become more familiar with your bikersquos brakes the sensations of weight transfer will start to feel more apparent and familiar That way yoursquoll be much more aware of the limits of your bike and yoursquoll be much better prepared in stopping

CAV To Hold AGM During ATLANTICADE (Summerside PE)
ndash The relationship started off by accident back in 2007 in
Moncton during the inaugural Atlanticade eventldquoI saw these guys who were hanging around
together with CAV crests on their vests and didnrsquot really know who they wererdquo says Dale Hicks festival founder and chairman Hicks began to connect the dots on the final day when the closing parade ended at the local veteranrsquos health care center and the CAV riders were very engaged with the vets ldquoSo I starting asking ndash who are these guys and what does CAV stand forrdquo
That was over seven years ago and now the relationship between Atlanticade and the Canadian Army Veterans is as strong a bond as you will find anywhere in the world of motorcycle events
ldquoOnce we became aware of who the CAV group was and what they represented I said well this group reflects the best of what it means to be Canadian so we certainly wanted to build a relationship with themrdquo recalls Hicks
Since then CAV has played a significant role in some form or fashion at each Atlanticade event The festival now has a
ldquoSupport the Troopsrdquo activity incorporated into the schedule each year where CAV plays a lead role In addition CAV will also be found leading parades such as the Confederation Bridge Cruise and the Parade of Iron Horses
In fact in 2011 Hicks was surprised and honored to be presented with an
honorary membership into the CAV organization at the closing awards breakfast at the Algonquin Hotel in St Andrews
ldquoYeah they caught me off guard with that and I certainly was humbled and honored by to be presented the crest by Trapperrdquo says Hicks ldquoI donrsquot feel worthy of wearing the crest but I do sport it proudly at certain times during Atlanticaderdquo
The unique bond between the two organizations continues for the upcoming 8th annual festival being held in Summerside PEI from June 27th to

Wyz WisdomPeople often take the time to complain but rarely take the time to say ldquoyou done goodrdquo ndash take a momenthellipspread the happyhelliptell someone when theyrsquove done a good job today ndash WyzWmnSome Donkey WisdomOne day a farmerrsquos donkey fell down into a well The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to doFinally he decided the animal was old and the well needed to be covered up anyway it just wasnrsquot worth it to retrieve the donkey He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well At first the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly Then to everyonersquos amazement he quieted downA few shovel loads later the farmer finally looked down the well and was astonished at what he saw With every shovel of dirt that hit his back the donkey was doing something amazing He would shake it off and take a step up on the dirt As the farmerrsquos neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal he would shake it off
and take a step up Pretty soon everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted offAnd the moral ishellip Life is going to shovel dirt on you all kinds of dirt The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up Each of our troubles is a steppingstone We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping never giving up Shake it off and take a step up

move apart and then slide back together again The boy asked Paw Whats at The father (never having seen an elevator) responded Son I dunno I aint never seen anything like that in my entire life I aint got no idear what it is
While the boy and his father were watching with amazement a fat old lady in a wheel chair rolled up to the moving walls and pressed a button The walls opened and the lady rolled between them into a small room The walls closed and the boy and his father watched the small circular numbers above the walls light up sequentially They continued to watch until it reached the last number and then the numbers began to light in the reverse order Then the walls opened up again and a gorgeous voluptuous 24-year-old blonde woman stepped out The father not taking his eyes off the young woman said quietly to his son

The Touch of a healerAn Irishman in a wheelchair entered a restaurant
one afternoon and asked the waitress for a cup of coffee The Irishman looked across the restaurant and asked Is that Jesus sitting over there The waitress nodded yes so the Irishman told her to give Jesus a cup of coffee on him
The next patron to come in was an Englishman with a hunched back He shuffled over to a booth painfully sat down and asked for a cup of hot tea He also glanced across the restaurant and asked Is that Jesus over there The waitress nodded so the Englishman said to give Jesus a cup of hot tea my treat
The third patron to come into the restaurant was a Redneck on crutches He hobbled over to a booth sat down and hollered Hey there sweet thang Hows about gettin me a cold glass of Coke He too looked across the restaurant and asked Is that
Gods boy over there The waitress once again nodded that it was so the Redneck said to give Jesus a cold glass of Coke on my bill
As Jesus got up to leave he passed by the Irishman touched him and said For your kindness you are healed The Irishman felt the strength come back to his legs got up and danced a jig right out the door
Jesus also passed by the Englishman touched him and said For your kindness you are healed The Englishman felt his back straightening up and he raised his hands praised the Lord and did a series of back flips out the door
Then Jesus walked up to the Redneck
The Redneck jumped up and yelled ldquoDonrsquot touch me Irsquom drawinrsquo disabilityrdquo
The most important thing for all motorcycle riders and vehicle drivers in Saskatchewan right now is standing-up and getting YOUR voice heardhellipand COUNTED
When it comes to the Saskatchewan Rate Review process each and every voice matters no matter how big no matter how small Every voice every opinion matters Use this process to make YOUR VOICE COUNT BEFORE April 28 2014 After thathellipit is too late
RAGE is here to continue what we started so successfully last year To continue to lobby SGI and the Provincial Government to put real and long-term public policy forward to end the continuous cycle of rate increases being implemented to
cover up escalating high-risk driving behaviour in Saskatchewan In a nutshell to stop just raising rates and not much else
If you parked a vehicle on the street downtown (any type of vehicle) and just left it there till it caused an accident How long would it take for that vehicle to be at-fault for causing one That is if it wasnrsquot stolen or vandalized first
Now if a person comes along gets into that same vehicle and drives off looking at their cellphone and texting How long
If it is a motorcycle and a person who just wrote their learners with zero experience (other than maybe a ride around the block) comes along gets on and rides off into traffic How long
The great thing about what we are putting forward is that it addresses ALL driver behavior Not vehicles but those who drive them ALL of us
You as a motorcycle and vehicle owner need to be speaking up this yearhellipin Saskatchewan you are more than likely both Making sure YOUR voice
Stand Up and Be Counted

gets counted To stop the endless cycle of just raising rates with not much else
This will allow RAGE to have a strong voice when it comes to the Personal Injury Insurance Review happening later this year Remember YOUR ldquoa-la-carterdquo recommendation has been approved by government
To continue to fight for mandatory safety training (Yes RAGE has always wanted this to be mandatory)
To continue to work with SGI on the things they are already implementing as a result of RAGE and ALL YOUR VOICES
YOUR VOICEno matter what your messageMATTERS to RAGE
Without all YOUR voicesindividuallyeach counting as 1UNITED into manyhellipSGI will simply not listen
Since the 1980rsquos and up until last yearvery few voices were raised to be counted during the Rate Review Process SGI pretty much did what they wantedthen last year BAM
For years SGI shut out anyone any group many efforts by the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel and the Provincial Government for any changeswhyNO UNITED VOICES Yes they brought in the 3 year MGDL in 2011 However they didnrsquot work with the groups involved past initial consultations SGI came to their own conclusions (no one could agree) and implemented what they
wanted SGI then stopped returning calls and continued to increase rates in 2012 and 2013
Even the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel has had difficulty getting the information they need from SGI to make informed decisions
Is it little wonder that the Minister Responsible for SGI felt she didnrsquot have to listen to the ldquosuggestionrdquo of the Rate Review Panel After all they never really had in previous years
Hammering us with another 15 increase could have been meant to knock us off our motorcycles and give up After all that hard workhellipand yet another increase Irsquom betting they expected us to cry in our coffee about how unfair they are about how they just do want they want anyway how we should just privatize and then do nothing more than that
Now that might have workedhellipin the past That is until last year the first time since the 1980rsquos when RAGE worked hard to organize YOUR voices YOU each used your own voices You each counted Then RAGE presented a proposal that took EACH ONE and MADE THEM COUNT as a UNITED VOICE
Then we did the unthinkablehellipWE STAYED We werenrsquot just there for 3 meetings WE
were 100 ALL INhellipFOR YOU To make sure YOUR VOICES continued to count RAGE continued to work with SGI on the wording for the recommendations put forward providing information for awareness sharing the ldquoCount Your Motorcyclerdquo game and much more
When it comes right down to it YOUR opinions and comments should matter to YOU IT does not matter if you donrsquot agree with the overall message of RAGE or your local riding club group
association coffee groupwhatever WHAT MATTERSis YOU getting YOUR VOICE
heard YOU canrsquot leave it up to everyone else You canrsquot assume anyone else is going to do this for YOU WE ALL MUST FIGHT
The worst thing you can do is nothing THAT is even worse than complaining and doing nothing Complaincomplain to your hearts contentto the Sask Rate Review Panel
THEN go have coffeeIf you canrsquot make it to the meeting in person
please at the very least contact the Rate Review Panel with YOUR voice
Each of our own voices count as 1 in this processjust as the voice of RAGE only counts as 1 We know SGI only listens when there are MANY following a UNITED theme
YOU can get YOUR voice heardand COUNTEDby submitting your comments regarding the application by April 28 2014 using any of the following methods

After a magnificent breakfast I started loading up my bike and it wasnrsquot long before the gang arrived to come take me sightseeing
Our first stop of the day after topping up our tanks was at the look out of Lac Saint Jean
From here you truly get a sense of how immense this lake is
We took some time to admire the view and chat about the plans for the rest of the day
Our next stop was to be the Camp Musical a purely French speaking musical camp for students to come and immerse themselves in the culture of the region and the music that is their passion
The camp has numerous housing units and the most incredible concert hall The Raymond Tremblay concert hall has 320 seats 2 piano rooms a bistro terrace and exhibition hall The Egyptian goddess Hathor is symbolized here and she represents happiness joy and music
The acoustics even when you are just speaking
well stunning would be the word to describe the sound quality
Everything about this 40-year-old institute screams creativity We went up to the gazebo on the observation deck and took in the panorama Breathtakingly beautiful you can see why this region inspires music and lyrics
After our tour of the camp was done we headed out towards the Village Historique Val-Jalbert Canadarsquos BEST preserved Ghost Town I couldnrsquot wait
The ride from the Camp Musical to Val-Jalbert which is just northwest of Chambord took about 30 minutes It was a wee bit overcast but the temperature was perfect for riding
When we arrived at Val-Jalbert we headed into the gorgeous visitor information centre and were assigned a tour guide named Michelle Pelletier Michelle turned out to be an amazing tour guide
She spoke in both French and English easily and made all of us feel so welcome

Saturday May 31st 2014 830 am Rain date June 1st rain or shine
We got in an electric cart and began our tour with Michelle telling us about the history of this town and why it is such a significant tourism and historical attraction
You see this town was the dream of one man Damase Jalbert He was the founder of the Ouiatchouan Pulp Company that built a pulp mill
here The town he founded for his employees started out as Saint-Georges-de-Ouiatchouan named for the river and the falls that powered the mill The name was changed to Val-Jalbert in 1913 in honor of the man whose dream it was
Damase wanted to build the best company town and provide his employees with a rarified quality of living
He died suddenly three years after opening the mill The mill faced a cash shortage and was bought by American shareholders in 1904 In 1909 the Chicoutimi Pulp Company bought it
From 1909 to 1922 the village flourished and was the envy of many surrounding communities
The company town offered employees electricity and running water in their homes a good 25 years before anyone else in Quebec had power
In 1923 the demand for mechanical pulp began to fall and by 1924 most of the workers had been laid off
On August 13th 1927 all operations ceased and over the next few years the village became abandoned
In 1942 the government took the property back for non-payment of taxes and in 1970 Val-Jalbert had new life breathed into it as a tourist attraction In recent years the government of Quebec has spent 19+ million dollars to upgrade and improve the visitors information centre put in a glass observation deck and a whole host of other improvements
Val-Jalbert must have been the most amazing town in the region in its day because this place is utterly amazing today The Quebec government has spent a lot of money and time restoring this
place to preserve the history and they have done an incredible job
Our first stop on the tour was the convent school where we met ldquoMother Superiorrdquo who took us through the school and answered our questions She was stern but I think there was a glint of mischief in her eyes as she ldquodisciplinedrdquo us on proper etiquette
There was the most amazing art display in
one room and in another the historical timeline of the residents of Val-Jalbert to take in The antiques and furnishings truly made you feel you were stuck in a time warp
After touring the school we headed towards the post office The ldquopostmistressrdquo was this chatty little gal that had us peeing ourselves we were laughing so hard It was pretty cool to see the old stamps and the various bits of equipment of the day
We walked up the street to take a tour of the restored duplexes that line the main street You have to see these places to truly appreciate them Imagine 1910 and you can flip a switch and have lights turn a tap and have water flush a toilet and not have to walk to the outhouse
These company houses were so well built and the people who lived here were fiercely loyal to the company that treated them so well
From the duplexes we went to the general store where we ran into the ldquoMayorrdquo the only person in town to have a car The general store offers up everything a visitor could need plus acts as a museum with lots of interesting period pieces on display
Michelle had gotten keys to show us the duplexes that have been upgraded and make up the 4 star accommodations offered here
We walked across the street and were taken to view to the most amazing hotel rooms
Rustic and yet modern these rooms are spacious well appointed and every one of them has unique little shadow boxes filled with antiques
All of the modern appliances Internet boxes and TV are all hidden in closets so that they are not visible It makes for a very appealing deacutecor
Although the rooms appear to only have one bed in the matter of a few moments Michelle had the
couch taken apart and the bed folded down out of the wall for a second bed
The bathrooms are absolute marvels with big tubs and glass showers
The parking for the hotel rooms is hidden behind a row of trees so that there is no real visual of anything modern on the face of things
From the hotel rooms we got back in the electric cart and headed towards the ldquoruinsrdquo Although many of the duplexes have been restored Michelle explained to us that the style of construction for the company houses had been changed and that
the newer houses had collapsed on themselves Some of the buildings are slated for restoration but many are too far-gone The streets they line are preserved so that one can walk by the ruins and get a feel for how large this town really was and how well laid out it was
Our next stop was the Mill Impressive is a good word to describe this place We had our lunch in the Old Mill Restaurant The food served here complimented the
atmosphere ndash IMPECCABLEThe chef Carl Murray has a great reputation that
he totally lives up toThe service
the food the atmosphere and the company were all top drawer
After our fabulous meal it was time to head to the tram and go experience the waterfalls
The ride up to the top gives you the most magnificent view of the region The Ouiatchouan Falls are some 65 feet higher than the Niagara Falls
and the power of them is palpable The rushing water is almost deafening as you walk out on to the glass observation deck
From the falls we walked down to the mill again and took in the most impressive interactive show I have ever experienced In the underbelly of the once abandoned mill amongst all of the monster gearing and shafts the lights go dim you feel the mist in the air and all of a sudden the walls become alive with characters from the original town and they take you through the historical timeline of the village and its people
It is absolutely captivating you become totally involved in the lives and the hardship of the villagers
The show signaled the end of our tour and Michelle took us back to the visitor information centre and sent us all off with gifts of blueberry jam and blueberry tea to remember our visit by
My bike had been acting up off and on and I had been keeping an eye out on a leak coming from the front of the engine The noise from the shifter region was becoming louder but I wasnrsquot experiencing any power loss so I kept an ear out and we kept riding
Our next stop was at the Cheddar Cheese Museum in Saint-Prime where a sweet young man took us on a tour
He showed us the old-fashioned way cheddar cheese was made and then we got to tour the museum portion of the factory 4 generations of the family Perron have made cheddar cheese here
The museum has over 650 artifacts that involve the familyrsquos history in cheese making including the stamps and other machinery used in exporting the cheese
The Cheddar Cheese Museum offers interactive displays and hosts several workshops on the art of making cheddar Upstairs you can view the family home of the Perronrsquos and see all of the period specific furnishings
Along with guided tours you can also sample the various types of cheddar cheese which we did and oh my I have never tasted cheddar that was so smooth and rich
After thanking our young guide for the fabulous tour we headed off
We stopped at Tim Hortonrsquos for a coffee and sitting out on the curb in front of my bike I could see the leak was getting worse I was very concerned and asked if there was a shop nearby where I could at least check the oil level in my primary
Rejean talked to one of the local riders Denis AKA Tarte au Sucre (Sweet Pie) and he took us to Carl Tremblayrsquos shop Carl is a mechanic that many here swear by His rates are far cheaper than the dealerships and every rider in the region says hersquos a guru He took the primary apart and sure
enough discovered that the compensating sprocket was dead and the stator was leaking With parts ordered and Rejeanrsquos wife going to the Harley shop to pick them up Francine Lynne Rejean and Denis rode me to my hotel the Motel Chutes des Pegraveres in Dolbeau-Mistassini My gear and luggage was distributed over three of the four bikes
By the time we got in it was dark and everyone had to head home I enjoyed a wonderful steak for supper and then headed off to my beautiful room and after a boiling hot pounding shower I climbed into the queen-sized bed and with the sound of the falls lulling me to sleep
And thatrsquos where I will leave you until next weekhellipBelt Drive Betty

you ride yoursquoll find middle-aged men stare at you and your bike with a dreamy lust before giving you an unwanted compliment Chances are theyrsquoll have no idea what the bike is either
Choose a classic or even worse a modern classic and yoursquoll become a magnet for old men who have the knack of being able to have a conversation with you without you needing to add any input Yoursquoll reach for your helmet on more than one occasion but not be able to put in on and leave because theyrsquoll ask you a question when you try Yoursquoll be subjected to questions about your
bike that you donrsquot know the answer to or even care about
The conversation will go something like this Is that a Triumph I had a Triumph once (followed by 10 minutes of ldquoback in my day rdquo)
3 - When You Say Yoursquore A Biker This Is The First Image That
Comes To Peoplehellip
5 Things They Never Told You About Becoming A Bikerby Robert Whaley NW Ontario Motorcycling
You could be a nice guy you could have something that resembles a career you could do the occasional BBQ it doesnrsquot matter When you mention to anyone at a party that yoursquove got a motorcycle a picture of this guy will pop into their head Then as you explain that you donrsquot ride a cruiser and yoursquove got a sportsbike theyrsquoll just think yoursquore speaking Greek and will reevaluate you as some sort of nut job who tries to kill himself on the highways Itrsquos a no-win
4 - Bees and Other Flying Things Will Start To Scare You
Anything flying will scare you When yoursquore sitting around at a family BBQ and everyone starts going mental the moment a bee or a wasp arrives on the scene you sit there perfectly calm and wonder what all the fuss is about
However - when yoursquore on a bike itrsquos a different story There you are riding along on a nice sunny day with your visor up enjoying the countryside and the winding road in front of you
Then you spot it 50 metres away a large insect looks like its stopped going about its daily business and itrsquos homing in at you instead Before you can do anything about it it goes THHHHHWAP right on your cheek Close but luckily it didnrsquot get you in the eye Then you panic the little bastardrsquos still in your helmet You insert a clumsy leather-clad finger and try and flick whatever it is away but probably end up pissing it off even further Then you crank on the brakes and perform the worldrsquos fastest lid removal followed by a little bit of a flappy-armed dance
5 - You Canrsquot Figure Out Who To Wave ToWhen you get a motorcycle you become part of a
club Itrsquos a club no biker really talks about but yoursquore in it now and yoursquore not allowed to leave Ever When you first pass your test yoursquoll wave at anyone and everyone If yoursquore heading down a road and a dog looks at you the right way yoursquoll probably wave at him too
Unfortunately this will change There are no set rules as to how it will change but yoursquoll end up developing your own code Me I wave at everyone dogs too and donrsquot give a second thought to the riders that donrsquot wave back But thatrsquos just me Yoursquoll have to work out your own code
Breaking is one of the most important things that you will learn to do on a motorcycle When we first learn to ride we are taught techniques to protect ourselves from crashing such as breaking shifting and countersteering But generally the most effective way to avoid an accident is through proper use of the brakes
The rear brake in particular is probably one of the least understood controls on a motorcycle Many riders donrsquot use the rear brake at all claiming that it doesnrsquot actually aid in slowing down or stopping the bike and say that it locks up the rear tire when trying to use it In fact most experts agree that a balanced use of both the front and rear brake is the most effective way of slowing or stopping a motorcycle
The rear brake also plays a huge role in adding stability to the bike when maneuvering
Because of the weight distribution on a motorcycle the braking balance of stopping power between the front and rear is 70 on the front and 30 on the rear This should tell you that if you donrsquot use the rear brake at all you are loosing 30 of the potential stopping power on your bike This could become a critical factor if you find yourself in trouble and have to try
and avoid an accident
Why does the rear brake lock up Well once again it has to do with weight distribution When you find yourself in a braking situation and start applying the brakes the geometry of the bike changes (due partly to the suspension) and much of the total weight (bike + rider) is transferred to the front This allows the rider to apply much more front brake than rear brake (the 7030 ratio)
Learning the finer points of your bikersquos braking performance is the key to keeping your bike in control It is a good idea to explore those limits in a safe environment
Practice repeated stops in an abandoned parking lot and yoursquoll start to get a feel for the amount of
effort that triggers tire slippage or rear tire lock-up
Try stopping with your front brake only then rear only and then a combination of both Once you become more familiar with your bikersquos brakes the sensations of weight transfer will start to feel more apparent and familiar That way yoursquoll be much more aware of the limits of your bike and yoursquoll be much better prepared in stopping

CAV To Hold AGM During ATLANTICADE (Summerside PE)
ndash The relationship started off by accident back in 2007 in
Moncton during the inaugural Atlanticade eventldquoI saw these guys who were hanging around
together with CAV crests on their vests and didnrsquot really know who they wererdquo says Dale Hicks festival founder and chairman Hicks began to connect the dots on the final day when the closing parade ended at the local veteranrsquos health care center and the CAV riders were very engaged with the vets ldquoSo I starting asking ndash who are these guys and what does CAV stand forrdquo
That was over seven years ago and now the relationship between Atlanticade and the Canadian Army Veterans is as strong a bond as you will find anywhere in the world of motorcycle events
ldquoOnce we became aware of who the CAV group was and what they represented I said well this group reflects the best of what it means to be Canadian so we certainly wanted to build a relationship with themrdquo recalls Hicks
Since then CAV has played a significant role in some form or fashion at each Atlanticade event The festival now has a
ldquoSupport the Troopsrdquo activity incorporated into the schedule each year where CAV plays a lead role In addition CAV will also be found leading parades such as the Confederation Bridge Cruise and the Parade of Iron Horses
In fact in 2011 Hicks was surprised and honored to be presented with an
honorary membership into the CAV organization at the closing awards breakfast at the Algonquin Hotel in St Andrews
ldquoYeah they caught me off guard with that and I certainly was humbled and honored by to be presented the crest by Trapperrdquo says Hicks ldquoI donrsquot feel worthy of wearing the crest but I do sport it proudly at certain times during Atlanticaderdquo
The unique bond between the two organizations continues for the upcoming 8th annual festival being held in Summerside PEI from June 27th to
Continued Next Page
(Atlanticade chairman Dale Hicks had just presented Trapper Cane with the annual ldquoExperienced Rider Awardrdquo
when Cane turned the tables by presenting Hicks with his honorary CAV membership during the 2011 event)
July 1st Recenty CAV founder Paul (Trapper) Cane announced the grouprsquos annual general meeting will take place in Summerside in conjunction with Atlanticade
ldquoAtlanticade brings great energy to all riders and our CAV members certainly appreciate the extra efforts put forth by Dalersquos team to give us some profile at the eventrdquo says Cane ldquoNo doubt it has been a great relationship between the two organizations and we hope it continues well into the futurerdquo
For his part Hicks says that Atlanticade is very proud to be able to host the CAV ndash AGM as part of the 2014 festival ldquoWe always have a good turnout of CAV members at our event but this will mean an additional boost in participants from across the country We hope we can make it a little special for them and something they will remember years down the roadrdquo

and take a step up Pretty soon everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted offAnd the moral ishellip Life is going to shovel dirt on you all kinds of dirt The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up Each of our troubles is a steppingstone We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping never giving up Shake it off and take a step up

The most important thing for all motorcycle riders and vehicle drivers in Saskatchewan right now is standing-up and getting YOUR voice heardhellipand COUNTED
When it comes to the Saskatchewan Rate Review process each and every voice matters no matter how big no matter how small Every voice every opinion matters Use this process to make YOUR VOICE COUNT BEFORE April 28 2014 After thathellipit is too late
RAGE is here to continue what we started so successfully last year To continue to lobby SGI and the Provincial Government to put real and long-term public policy forward to end the continuous cycle of rate increases being implemented to
cover up escalating high-risk driving behaviour in Saskatchewan In a nutshell to stop just raising rates and not much else
If you parked a vehicle on the street downtown (any type of vehicle) and just left it there till it caused an accident How long would it take for that vehicle to be at-fault for causing one That is if it wasnrsquot stolen or vandalized first
Now if a person comes along gets into that same vehicle and drives off looking at their cellphone and texting How long
If it is a motorcycle and a person who just wrote their learners with zero experience (other than maybe a ride around the block) comes along gets on and rides off into traffic How long
The great thing about what we are putting forward is that it addresses ALL driver behavior Not vehicles but those who drive them ALL of us
You as a motorcycle and vehicle owner need to be speaking up this yearhellipin Saskatchewan you are more than likely both Making sure YOUR voice
Stand Up and Be Counted

RAGE Dare to Know

The BodyTalk Systemwith Practitioner Bev Groot
To book an appointment or find out more about the BodyTalk System call
gets counted To stop the endless cycle of just raising rates with not much else
This will allow RAGE to have a strong voice when it comes to the Personal Injury Insurance Review happening later this year Remember YOUR ldquoa-la-carterdquo recommendation has been approved by government
To continue to fight for mandatory safety training (Yes RAGE has always wanted this to be mandatory)
To continue to work with SGI on the things they are already implementing as a result of RAGE and ALL YOUR VOICES
YOUR VOICEno matter what your messageMATTERS to RAGE
Without all YOUR voicesindividuallyeach counting as 1UNITED into manyhellipSGI will simply not listen
Since the 1980rsquos and up until last yearvery few voices were raised to be counted during the Rate Review Process SGI pretty much did what they wantedthen last year BAM
For years SGI shut out anyone any group many efforts by the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel and the Provincial Government for any changeswhyNO UNITED VOICES Yes they brought in the 3 year MGDL in 2011 However they didnrsquot work with the groups involved past initial consultations SGI came to their own conclusions (no one could agree) and implemented what they
wanted SGI then stopped returning calls and continued to increase rates in 2012 and 2013
Even the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel has had difficulty getting the information they need from SGI to make informed decisions
Is it little wonder that the Minister Responsible for SGI felt she didnrsquot have to listen to the ldquosuggestionrdquo of the Rate Review Panel After all they never really had in previous years
Hammering us with another 15 increase could have been meant to knock us off our motorcycles and give up After all that hard workhellipand yet another increase Irsquom betting they expected us to cry in our coffee about how unfair they are about how they just do want they want anyway how we should just privatize and then do nothing more than that
Now that might have workedhellipin the past That is until last year the first time since the 1980rsquos when RAGE worked hard to organize YOUR voices YOU each used your own voices You each counted Then RAGE presented a proposal that took EACH ONE and MADE THEM COUNT as a UNITED VOICE
Then we did the unthinkablehellipWE STAYED We werenrsquot just there for 3 meetings WE
were 100 ALL INhellipFOR YOU To make sure YOUR VOICES continued to count RAGE continued to work with SGI on the wording for the recommendations put forward providing information for awareness sharing the ldquoCount Your Motorcyclerdquo game and much more
When it comes right down to it YOUR opinions and comments should matter to YOU IT does not matter if you donrsquot agree with the overall message of RAGE or your local riding club group
association coffee groupwhatever WHAT MATTERSis YOU getting YOUR VOICE
heard YOU canrsquot leave it up to everyone else You canrsquot assume anyone else is going to do this for YOU WE ALL MUST FIGHT
The worst thing you can do is nothing THAT is even worse than complaining and doing nothing Complaincomplain to your hearts contentto the Sask Rate Review Panel
THEN go have coffeeIf you canrsquot make it to the meeting in person
please at the very least contact the Rate Review Panel with YOUR voice
Each of our own voices count as 1 in this processjust as the voice of RAGE only counts as 1 We know SGI only listens when there are MANY following a UNITED theme
YOU can get YOUR voice heardand COUNTEDby submitting your comments regarding the application by April 28 2014 using any of the following methods

After a magnificent breakfast I started loading up my bike and it wasnrsquot long before the gang arrived to come take me sightseeing
Our first stop of the day after topping up our tanks was at the look out of Lac Saint Jean
From here you truly get a sense of how immense this lake is
We took some time to admire the view and chat about the plans for the rest of the day
Our next stop was to be the Camp Musical a purely French speaking musical camp for students to come and immerse themselves in the culture of the region and the music that is their passion
The camp has numerous housing units and the most incredible concert hall The Raymond Tremblay concert hall has 320 seats 2 piano rooms a bistro terrace and exhibition hall The Egyptian goddess Hathor is symbolized here and she represents happiness joy and music
The acoustics even when you are just speaking
well stunning would be the word to describe the sound quality
Everything about this 40-year-old institute screams creativity We went up to the gazebo on the observation deck and took in the panorama Breathtakingly beautiful you can see why this region inspires music and lyrics
After our tour of the camp was done we headed out towards the Village Historique Val-Jalbert Canadarsquos BEST preserved Ghost Town I couldnrsquot wait
The ride from the Camp Musical to Val-Jalbert which is just northwest of Chambord took about 30 minutes It was a wee bit overcast but the temperature was perfect for riding
When we arrived at Val-Jalbert we headed into the gorgeous visitor information centre and were assigned a tour guide named Michelle Pelletier Michelle turned out to be an amazing tour guide
She spoke in both French and English easily and made all of us feel so welcome

We got in an electric cart and began our tour with Michelle telling us about the history of this town and why it is such a significant tourism and historical attraction
You see this town was the dream of one man Damase Jalbert He was the founder of the Ouiatchouan Pulp Company that built a pulp mill
here The town he founded for his employees started out as Saint-Georges-de-Ouiatchouan named for the river and the falls that powered the mill The name was changed to Val-Jalbert in 1913 in honor of the man whose dream it was
Damase wanted to build the best company town and provide his employees with a rarified quality of living
He died suddenly three years after opening the mill The mill faced a cash shortage and was bought by American shareholders in 1904 In 1909 the Chicoutimi Pulp Company bought it
From 1909 to 1922 the village flourished and was the envy of many surrounding communities
The company town offered employees electricity and running water in their homes a good 25 years before anyone else in Quebec had power
In 1923 the demand for mechanical pulp began to fall and by 1924 most of the workers had been laid off
On August 13th 1927 all operations ceased and over the next few years the village became abandoned
In 1942 the government took the property back for non-payment of taxes and in 1970 Val-Jalbert had new life breathed into it as a tourist attraction In recent years the government of Quebec has spent 19+ million dollars to upgrade and improve the visitors information centre put in a glass observation deck and a whole host of other improvements
Val-Jalbert must have been the most amazing town in the region in its day because this place is utterly amazing today The Quebec government has spent a lot of money and time restoring this
place to preserve the history and they have done an incredible job
Our first stop on the tour was the convent school where we met ldquoMother Superiorrdquo who took us through the school and answered our questions She was stern but I think there was a glint of mischief in her eyes as she ldquodisciplinedrdquo us on proper etiquette
There was the most amazing art display in
one room and in another the historical timeline of the residents of Val-Jalbert to take in The antiques and furnishings truly made you feel you were stuck in a time warp
After touring the school we headed towards the post office The ldquopostmistressrdquo was this chatty little gal that had us peeing ourselves we were laughing so hard It was pretty cool to see the old stamps and the various bits of equipment of the day
We walked up the street to take a tour of the restored duplexes that line the main street You have to see these places to truly appreciate them Imagine 1910 and you can flip a switch and have lights turn a tap and have water flush a toilet and not have to walk to the outhouse
These company houses were so well built and the people who lived here were fiercely loyal to the company that treated them so well
From the duplexes we went to the general store where we ran into the ldquoMayorrdquo the only person in town to have a car The general store offers up everything a visitor could need plus acts as a museum with lots of interesting period pieces on display
Michelle had gotten keys to show us the duplexes that have been upgraded and make up the 4 star accommodations offered here
We walked across the street and were taken to view to the most amazing hotel rooms
Rustic and yet modern these rooms are spacious well appointed and every one of them has unique little shadow boxes filled with antiques
All of the modern appliances Internet boxes and TV are all hidden in closets so that they are not visible It makes for a very appealing deacutecor
Although the rooms appear to only have one bed in the matter of a few moments Michelle had the
couch taken apart and the bed folded down out of the wall for a second bed
The bathrooms are absolute marvels with big tubs and glass showers
The parking for the hotel rooms is hidden behind a row of trees so that there is no real visual of anything modern on the face of things
From the hotel rooms we got back in the electric cart and headed towards the ldquoruinsrdquo Although many of the duplexes have been restored Michelle explained to us that the style of construction for the company houses had been changed and that
the newer houses had collapsed on themselves Some of the buildings are slated for restoration but many are too far-gone The streets they line are preserved so that one can walk by the ruins and get a feel for how large this town really was and how well laid out it was
Our next stop was the Mill Impressive is a good word to describe this place We had our lunch in the Old Mill Restaurant The food served here complimented the
atmosphere ndash IMPECCABLEThe chef Carl Murray has a great reputation that
he totally lives up toThe service
the food the atmosphere and the company were all top drawer
After our fabulous meal it was time to head to the tram and go experience the waterfalls
The ride up to the top gives you the most magnificent view of the region The Ouiatchouan Falls are some 65 feet higher than the Niagara Falls
and the power of them is palpable The rushing water is almost deafening as you walk out on to the glass observation deck
From the falls we walked down to the mill again and took in the most impressive interactive show I have ever experienced In the underbelly of the once abandoned mill amongst all of the monster gearing and shafts the lights go dim you feel the mist in the air and all of a sudden the walls become alive with characters from the original town and they take you through the historical timeline of the village and its people
It is absolutely captivating you become totally involved in the lives and the hardship of the villagers
The show signaled the end of our tour and Michelle took us back to the visitor information centre and sent us all off with gifts of blueberry jam and blueberry tea to remember our visit by
My bike had been acting up off and on and I had been keeping an eye out on a leak coming from the front of the engine The noise from the shifter region was becoming louder but I wasnrsquot experiencing any power loss so I kept an ear out and we kept riding
Our next stop was at the Cheddar Cheese Museum in Saint-Prime where a sweet young man took us on a tour
He showed us the old-fashioned way cheddar cheese was made and then we got to tour the museum portion of the factory 4 generations of the family Perron have made cheddar cheese here
The museum has over 650 artifacts that involve the familyrsquos history in cheese making including the stamps and other machinery used in exporting the cheese
The Cheddar Cheese Museum offers interactive displays and hosts several workshops on the art of making cheddar Upstairs you can view the family home of the Perronrsquos and see all of the period specific furnishings
Along with guided tours you can also sample the various types of cheddar cheese which we did and oh my I have never tasted cheddar that was so smooth and rich
After thanking our young guide for the fabulous tour we headed off
We stopped at Tim Hortonrsquos for a coffee and sitting out on the curb in front of my bike I could see the leak was getting worse I was very concerned and asked if there was a shop nearby where I could at least check the oil level in my primary
Rejean talked to one of the local riders Denis AKA Tarte au Sucre (Sweet Pie) and he took us to Carl Tremblayrsquos shop Carl is a mechanic that many here swear by His rates are far cheaper than the dealerships and every rider in the region says hersquos a guru He took the primary apart and sure
enough discovered that the compensating sprocket was dead and the stator was leaking With parts ordered and Rejeanrsquos wife going to the Harley shop to pick them up Francine Lynne Rejean and Denis rode me to my hotel the Motel Chutes des Pegraveres in Dolbeau-Mistassini My gear and luggage was distributed over three of the four bikes
By the time we got in it was dark and everyone had to head home I enjoyed a wonderful steak for supper and then headed off to my beautiful room and after a boiling hot pounding shower I climbed into the queen-sized bed and with the sound of the falls lulling me to sleep
And thatrsquos where I will leave you until next weekhellipBelt Drive Betty

1 - Yoursquoll Become a Better DriverTherersquos no doubt that riding a motorcycle has its
benefits especially when it comes to driving a car Riding a motorcycle teaches you to look out for people who are trying to kill you yoursquoll see hazards sooner and yoursquoll end up with Ninja-like machine control So when it comes to driving yoursquoll put all that to work and be a cut above the rest Hopefully
2 - Everyone Wants To Talk To YouIt really doesnrsquot matter what kind of motorcycle
you ride yoursquoll find middle-aged men stare at you and your bike with a dreamy lust before giving you an unwanted compliment Chances are theyrsquoll have no idea what the bike is either
Choose a classic or even worse a modern classic and yoursquoll become a magnet for old men who have the knack of being able to have a conversation with you without you needing to add any input Yoursquoll reach for your helmet on more than one occasion but not be able to put in on and leave because theyrsquoll ask you a question when you try Yoursquoll be subjected to questions about your
bike that you donrsquot know the answer to or even care about
The conversation will go something like this Is that a Triumph I had a Triumph once (followed by 10 minutes of ldquoback in my day rdquo)
3 - When You Say Yoursquore A Biker This Is The First Image That
Comes To Peoplehellip
5 Things They Never Told You About Becoming A Bikerby Robert Whaley NW Ontario Motorcycling
You could be a nice guy you could have something that resembles a career you could do the occasional BBQ it doesnrsquot matter When you mention to anyone at a party that yoursquove got a motorcycle a picture of this guy will pop into their head Then as you explain that you donrsquot ride a cruiser and yoursquove got a sportsbike theyrsquoll just think yoursquore speaking Greek and will reevaluate you as some sort of nut job who tries to kill himself on the highways Itrsquos a no-win
4 - Bees and Other Flying Things Will Start To Scare You
Anything flying will scare you When yoursquore sitting around at a family BBQ and everyone starts going mental the moment a bee or a wasp arrives on the scene you sit there perfectly calm and wonder what all the fuss is about
However - when yoursquore on a bike itrsquos a different story There you are riding along on a nice sunny day with your visor up enjoying the countryside and the winding road in front of you
Then you spot it 50 metres away a large insect looks like its stopped going about its daily business and itrsquos homing in at you instead Before you can do anything about it it goes THHHHHWAP right on your cheek Close but luckily it didnrsquot get you in the eye Then you panic the little bastardrsquos still in your helmet You insert a clumsy leather-clad finger and try and flick whatever it is away but probably end up pissing it off even further Then you crank on the brakes and perform the worldrsquos fastest lid removal followed by a little bit of a flappy-armed dance
5 - You Canrsquot Figure Out Who To Wave ToWhen you get a motorcycle you become part of a
club Itrsquos a club no biker really talks about but yoursquore in it now and yoursquore not allowed to leave Ever When you first pass your test yoursquoll wave at anyone and everyone If yoursquore heading down a road and a dog looks at you the right way yoursquoll probably wave at him too
Unfortunately this will change There are no set rules as to how it will change but yoursquoll end up developing your own code Me I wave at everyone dogs too and donrsquot give a second thought to the riders that donrsquot wave back But thatrsquos just me Yoursquoll have to work out your own code
Breaking is one of the most important things that you will learn to do on a motorcycle When we first learn to ride we are taught techniques to protect ourselves from crashing such as breaking shifting and countersteering But generally the most effective way to avoid an accident is through proper use of the brakes
The rear brake in particular is probably one of the least understood controls on a motorcycle Many riders donrsquot use the rear brake at all claiming that it doesnrsquot actually aid in slowing down or stopping the bike and say that it locks up the rear tire when trying to use it In fact most experts agree that a balanced use of both the front and rear brake is the most effective way of slowing or stopping a motorcycle
The rear brake also plays a huge role in adding stability to the bike when maneuvering
Because of the weight distribution on a motorcycle the braking balance of stopping power between the front and rear is 70 on the front and 30 on the rear This should tell you that if you donrsquot use the rear brake at all you are loosing 30 of the potential stopping power on your bike This could become a critical factor if you find yourself in trouble and have to try
and avoid an accident
Why does the rear brake lock up Well once again it has to do with weight distribution When you find yourself in a braking situation and start applying the brakes the geometry of the bike changes (due partly to the suspension) and much of the total weight (bike + rider) is transferred to the front This allows the rider to apply much more front brake than rear brake (the 7030 ratio)
Learning the finer points of your bikersquos braking performance is the key to keeping your bike in control It is a good idea to explore those limits in a safe environment
Practice repeated stops in an abandoned parking lot and yoursquoll start to get a feel for the amount of
effort that triggers tire slippage or rear tire lock-up
Try stopping with your front brake only then rear only and then a combination of both Once you become more familiar with your bikersquos brakes the sensations of weight transfer will start to feel more apparent and familiar That way yoursquoll be much more aware of the limits of your bike and yoursquoll be much better prepared in stopping

CAV To Hold AGM During ATLANTICADE (Summerside PE)
ndash The relationship started off by accident back in 2007 in
Moncton during the inaugural Atlanticade eventldquoI saw these guys who were hanging around
together with CAV crests on their vests and didnrsquot really know who they wererdquo says Dale Hicks festival founder and chairman Hicks began to connect the dots on the final day when the closing parade ended at the local veteranrsquos health care center and the CAV riders were very engaged with the vets ldquoSo I starting asking ndash who are these guys and what does CAV stand forrdquo
That was over seven years ago and now the relationship between Atlanticade and the Canadian Army Veterans is as strong a bond as you will find anywhere in the world of motorcycle events
ldquoOnce we became aware of who the CAV group was and what they represented I said well this group reflects the best of what it means to be Canadian so we certainly wanted to build a relationship with themrdquo recalls Hicks
Since then CAV has played a significant role in some form or fashion at each Atlanticade event The festival now has a
ldquoSupport the Troopsrdquo activity incorporated into the schedule each year where CAV plays a lead role In addition CAV will also be found leading parades such as the Confederation Bridge Cruise and the Parade of Iron Horses
In fact in 2011 Hicks was surprised and honored to be presented with an
honorary membership into the CAV organization at the closing awards breakfast at the Algonquin Hotel in St Andrews
ldquoYeah they caught me off guard with that and I certainly was humbled and honored by to be presented the crest by Trapperrdquo says Hicks ldquoI donrsquot feel worthy of wearing the crest but I do sport it proudly at certain times during Atlanticaderdquo
The unique bond between the two organizations continues for the upcoming 8th annual festival being held in Summerside PEI from June 27th to
Continued Next Page
(Atlanticade chairman Dale Hicks had just presented Trapper Cane with the annual ldquoExperienced Rider Awardrdquo
when Cane turned the tables by presenting Hicks with his honorary CAV membership during the 2011 event)
July 1st Recenty CAV founder Paul (Trapper) Cane announced the grouprsquos annual general meeting will take place in Summerside in conjunction with Atlanticade
ldquoAtlanticade brings great energy to all riders and our CAV members certainly appreciate the extra efforts put forth by Dalersquos team to give us some profile at the eventrdquo says Cane ldquoNo doubt it has been a great relationship between the two organizations and we hope it continues well into the futurerdquo
For his part Hicks says that Atlanticade is very proud to be able to host the CAV ndash AGM as part of the 2014 festival ldquoWe always have a good turnout of CAV members at our event but this will mean an additional boost in participants from across the country We hope we can make it a little special for them and something they will remember years down the roadrdquo

gets counted To stop the endless cycle of just raising rates with not much else
This will allow RAGE to have a strong voice when it comes to the Personal Injury Insurance Review happening later this year Remember YOUR ldquoa-la-carterdquo recommendation has been approved by government
To continue to fight for mandatory safety training (Yes RAGE has always wanted this to be mandatory)
To continue to work with SGI on the things they are already implementing as a result of RAGE and ALL YOUR VOICES
YOUR VOICEno matter what your messageMATTERS to RAGE
Without all YOUR voicesindividuallyeach counting as 1UNITED into manyhellipSGI will simply not listen
Since the 1980rsquos and up until last yearvery few voices were raised to be counted during the Rate Review Process SGI pretty much did what they wantedthen last year BAM
For years SGI shut out anyone any group many efforts by the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel and the Provincial Government for any changeswhyNO UNITED VOICES Yes they brought in the 3 year MGDL in 2011 However they didnrsquot work with the groups involved past initial consultations SGI came to their own conclusions (no one could agree) and implemented what they
wanted SGI then stopped returning calls and continued to increase rates in 2012 and 2013
Even the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel has had difficulty getting the information they need from SGI to make informed decisions
Is it little wonder that the Minister Responsible for SGI felt she didnrsquot have to listen to the ldquosuggestionrdquo of the Rate Review Panel After all they never really had in previous years
Hammering us with another 15 increase could have been meant to knock us off our motorcycles and give up After all that hard workhellipand yet another increase Irsquom betting they expected us to cry in our coffee about how unfair they are about how they just do want they want anyway how we should just privatize and then do nothing more than that
Now that might have workedhellipin the past That is until last year the first time since the 1980rsquos when RAGE worked hard to organize YOUR voices YOU each used your own voices You each counted Then RAGE presented a proposal that took EACH ONE and MADE THEM COUNT as a UNITED VOICE
Then we did the unthinkablehellipWE STAYED We werenrsquot just there for 3 meetings WE
were 100 ALL INhellipFOR YOU To make sure YOUR VOICES continued to count RAGE continued to work with SGI on the wording for the recommendations put forward providing information for awareness sharing the ldquoCount Your Motorcyclerdquo game and much more
When it comes right down to it YOUR opinions and comments should matter to YOU IT does not matter if you donrsquot agree with the overall message of RAGE or your local riding club group
association coffee groupwhatever WHAT MATTERSis YOU getting YOUR VOICE
heard YOU canrsquot leave it up to everyone else You canrsquot assume anyone else is going to do this for YOU WE ALL MUST FIGHT
The worst thing you can do is nothing THAT is even worse than complaining and doing nothing Complaincomplain to your hearts contentto the Sask Rate Review Panel
THEN go have coffeeIf you canrsquot make it to the meeting in person
please at the very least contact the Rate Review Panel with YOUR voice
Each of our own voices count as 1 in this processjust as the voice of RAGE only counts as 1 We know SGI only listens when there are MANY following a UNITED theme
YOU can get YOUR voice heardand COUNTEDby submitting your comments regarding the application by April 28 2014 using any of the following methods

After a magnificent breakfast I started loading up my bike and it wasnrsquot long before the gang arrived to come take me sightseeing
Our first stop of the day after topping up our tanks was at the look out of Lac Saint Jean
From here you truly get a sense of how immense this lake is
We took some time to admire the view and chat about the plans for the rest of the day
Our next stop was to be the Camp Musical a purely French speaking musical camp for students to come and immerse themselves in the culture of the region and the music that is their passion
The camp has numerous housing units and the most incredible concert hall The Raymond Tremblay concert hall has 320 seats 2 piano rooms a bistro terrace and exhibition hall The Egyptian goddess Hathor is symbolized here and she represents happiness joy and music
The acoustics even when you are just speaking
well stunning would be the word to describe the sound quality
Everything about this 40-year-old institute screams creativity We went up to the gazebo on the observation deck and took in the panorama Breathtakingly beautiful you can see why this region inspires music and lyrics
After our tour of the camp was done we headed out towards the Village Historique Val-Jalbert Canadarsquos BEST preserved Ghost Town I couldnrsquot wait
The ride from the Camp Musical to Val-Jalbert which is just northwest of Chambord took about 30 minutes It was a wee bit overcast but the temperature was perfect for riding
When we arrived at Val-Jalbert we headed into the gorgeous visitor information centre and were assigned a tour guide named Michelle Pelletier Michelle turned out to be an amazing tour guide
She spoke in both French and English easily and made all of us feel so welcome

Saturday May 31st 2014 830 am Rain date June 1st rain or shine
We got in an electric cart and began our tour with Michelle telling us about the history of this town and why it is such a significant tourism and historical attraction
You see this town was the dream of one man Damase Jalbert He was the founder of the Ouiatchouan Pulp Company that built a pulp mill
here The town he founded for his employees started out as Saint-Georges-de-Ouiatchouan named for the river and the falls that powered the mill The name was changed to Val-Jalbert in 1913 in honor of the man whose dream it was
Damase wanted to build the best company town and provide his employees with a rarified quality of living
He died suddenly three years after opening the mill The mill faced a cash shortage and was bought by American shareholders in 1904 In 1909 the Chicoutimi Pulp Company bought it
From 1909 to 1922 the village flourished and was the envy of many surrounding communities
The company town offered employees electricity and running water in their homes a good 25 years before anyone else in Quebec had power
In 1923 the demand for mechanical pulp began to fall and by 1924 most of the workers had been laid off
On August 13th 1927 all operations ceased and over the next few years the village became abandoned
In 1942 the government took the property back for non-payment of taxes and in 1970 Val-Jalbert had new life breathed into it as a tourist attraction In recent years the government of Quebec has spent 19+ million dollars to upgrade and improve the visitors information centre put in a glass observation deck and a whole host of other improvements
Val-Jalbert must have been the most amazing town in the region in its day because this place is utterly amazing today The Quebec government has spent a lot of money and time restoring this
place to preserve the history and they have done an incredible job
Our first stop on the tour was the convent school where we met ldquoMother Superiorrdquo who took us through the school and answered our questions She was stern but I think there was a glint of mischief in her eyes as she ldquodisciplinedrdquo us on proper etiquette
There was the most amazing art display in
one room and in another the historical timeline of the residents of Val-Jalbert to take in The antiques and furnishings truly made you feel you were stuck in a time warp
After touring the school we headed towards the post office The ldquopostmistressrdquo was this chatty little gal that had us peeing ourselves we were laughing so hard It was pretty cool to see the old stamps and the various bits of equipment of the day
We walked up the street to take a tour of the restored duplexes that line the main street You have to see these places to truly appreciate them Imagine 1910 and you can flip a switch and have lights turn a tap and have water flush a toilet and not have to walk to the outhouse
These company houses were so well built and the people who lived here were fiercely loyal to the company that treated them so well
From the duplexes we went to the general store where we ran into the ldquoMayorrdquo the only person in town to have a car The general store offers up everything a visitor could need plus acts as a museum with lots of interesting period pieces on display
Michelle had gotten keys to show us the duplexes that have been upgraded and make up the 4 star accommodations offered here
We walked across the street and were taken to view to the most amazing hotel rooms
Rustic and yet modern these rooms are spacious well appointed and every one of them has unique little shadow boxes filled with antiques
All of the modern appliances Internet boxes and TV are all hidden in closets so that they are not visible It makes for a very appealing deacutecor
Although the rooms appear to only have one bed in the matter of a few moments Michelle had the
couch taken apart and the bed folded down out of the wall for a second bed
The bathrooms are absolute marvels with big tubs and glass showers
The parking for the hotel rooms is hidden behind a row of trees so that there is no real visual of anything modern on the face of things
From the hotel rooms we got back in the electric cart and headed towards the ldquoruinsrdquo Although many of the duplexes have been restored Michelle explained to us that the style of construction for the company houses had been changed and that
the newer houses had collapsed on themselves Some of the buildings are slated for restoration but many are too far-gone The streets they line are preserved so that one can walk by the ruins and get a feel for how large this town really was and how well laid out it was
Our next stop was the Mill Impressive is a good word to describe this place We had our lunch in the Old Mill Restaurant The food served here complimented the
atmosphere ndash IMPECCABLEThe chef Carl Murray has a great reputation that
he totally lives up toThe service
the food the atmosphere and the company were all top drawer
After our fabulous meal it was time to head to the tram and go experience the waterfalls
The ride up to the top gives you the most magnificent view of the region The Ouiatchouan Falls are some 65 feet higher than the Niagara Falls
and the power of them is palpable The rushing water is almost deafening as you walk out on to the glass observation deck
From the falls we walked down to the mill again and took in the most impressive interactive show I have ever experienced In the underbelly of the once abandoned mill amongst all of the monster gearing and shafts the lights go dim you feel the mist in the air and all of a sudden the walls become alive with characters from the original town and they take you through the historical timeline of the village and its people
It is absolutely captivating you become totally involved in the lives and the hardship of the villagers
The show signaled the end of our tour and Michelle took us back to the visitor information centre and sent us all off with gifts of blueberry jam and blueberry tea to remember our visit by
My bike had been acting up off and on and I had been keeping an eye out on a leak coming from the front of the engine The noise from the shifter region was becoming louder but I wasnrsquot experiencing any power loss so I kept an ear out and we kept riding
Our next stop was at the Cheddar Cheese Museum in Saint-Prime where a sweet young man took us on a tour
He showed us the old-fashioned way cheddar cheese was made and then we got to tour the museum portion of the factory 4 generations of the family Perron have made cheddar cheese here
The museum has over 650 artifacts that involve the familyrsquos history in cheese making including the stamps and other machinery used in exporting the cheese
The Cheddar Cheese Museum offers interactive displays and hosts several workshops on the art of making cheddar Upstairs you can view the family home of the Perronrsquos and see all of the period specific furnishings
Along with guided tours you can also sample the various types of cheddar cheese which we did and oh my I have never tasted cheddar that was so smooth and rich
After thanking our young guide for the fabulous tour we headed off
We stopped at Tim Hortonrsquos for a coffee and sitting out on the curb in front of my bike I could see the leak was getting worse I was very concerned and asked if there was a shop nearby where I could at least check the oil level in my primary
Rejean talked to one of the local riders Denis AKA Tarte au Sucre (Sweet Pie) and he took us to Carl Tremblayrsquos shop Carl is a mechanic that many here swear by His rates are far cheaper than the dealerships and every rider in the region says hersquos a guru He took the primary apart and sure
enough discovered that the compensating sprocket was dead and the stator was leaking With parts ordered and Rejeanrsquos wife going to the Harley shop to pick them up Francine Lynne Rejean and Denis rode me to my hotel the Motel Chutes des Pegraveres in Dolbeau-Mistassini My gear and luggage was distributed over three of the four bikes
By the time we got in it was dark and everyone had to head home I enjoyed a wonderful steak for supper and then headed off to my beautiful room and after a boiling hot pounding shower I climbed into the queen-sized bed and with the sound of the falls lulling me to sleep
And thatrsquos where I will leave you until next weekhellipBelt Drive Betty

1 - Yoursquoll Become a Better DriverTherersquos no doubt that riding a motorcycle has its
benefits especially when it comes to driving a car Riding a motorcycle teaches you to look out for people who are trying to kill you yoursquoll see hazards sooner and yoursquoll end up with Ninja-like machine control So when it comes to driving yoursquoll put all that to work and be a cut above the rest Hopefully
2 - Everyone Wants To Talk To YouIt really doesnrsquot matter what kind of motorcycle
you ride yoursquoll find middle-aged men stare at you and your bike with a dreamy lust before giving you an unwanted compliment Chances are theyrsquoll have no idea what the bike is either
Choose a classic or even worse a modern classic and yoursquoll become a magnet for old men who have the knack of being able to have a conversation with you without you needing to add any input Yoursquoll reach for your helmet on more than one occasion but not be able to put in on and leave because theyrsquoll ask you a question when you try Yoursquoll be subjected to questions about your
bike that you donrsquot know the answer to or even care about
The conversation will go something like this Is that a Triumph I had a Triumph once (followed by 10 minutes of ldquoback in my day rdquo)
3 - When You Say Yoursquore A Biker This Is The First Image That
Comes To Peoplehellip
5 Things They Never Told You About Becoming A Bikerby Robert Whaley NW Ontario Motorcycling
You could be a nice guy you could have something that resembles a career you could do the occasional BBQ it doesnrsquot matter When you mention to anyone at a party that yoursquove got a motorcycle a picture of this guy will pop into their head Then as you explain that you donrsquot ride a cruiser and yoursquove got a sportsbike theyrsquoll just think yoursquore speaking Greek and will reevaluate you as some sort of nut job who tries to kill himself on the highways Itrsquos a no-win
4 - Bees and Other Flying Things Will Start To Scare You
Anything flying will scare you When yoursquore sitting around at a family BBQ and everyone starts going mental the moment a bee or a wasp arrives on the scene you sit there perfectly calm and wonder what all the fuss is about
However - when yoursquore on a bike itrsquos a different story There you are riding along on a nice sunny day with your visor up enjoying the countryside and the winding road in front of you
Then you spot it 50 metres away a large insect looks like its stopped going about its daily business and itrsquos homing in at you instead Before you can do anything about it it goes THHHHHWAP right on your cheek Close but luckily it didnrsquot get you in the eye Then you panic the little bastardrsquos still in your helmet You insert a clumsy leather-clad finger and try and flick whatever it is away but probably end up pissing it off even further Then you crank on the brakes and perform the worldrsquos fastest lid removal followed by a little bit of a flappy-armed dance
5 - You Canrsquot Figure Out Who To Wave ToWhen you get a motorcycle you become part of a
club Itrsquos a club no biker really talks about but yoursquore in it now and yoursquore not allowed to leave Ever When you first pass your test yoursquoll wave at anyone and everyone If yoursquore heading down a road and a dog looks at you the right way yoursquoll probably wave at him too
Unfortunately this will change There are no set rules as to how it will change but yoursquoll end up developing your own code Me I wave at everyone dogs too and donrsquot give a second thought to the riders that donrsquot wave back But thatrsquos just me Yoursquoll have to work out your own code
Breaking is one of the most important things that you will learn to do on a motorcycle When we first learn to ride we are taught techniques to protect ourselves from crashing such as breaking shifting and countersteering But generally the most effective way to avoid an accident is through proper use of the brakes
The rear brake in particular is probably one of the least understood controls on a motorcycle Many riders donrsquot use the rear brake at all claiming that it doesnrsquot actually aid in slowing down or stopping the bike and say that it locks up the rear tire when trying to use it In fact most experts agree that a balanced use of both the front and rear brake is the most effective way of slowing or stopping a motorcycle
The rear brake also plays a huge role in adding stability to the bike when maneuvering
Because of the weight distribution on a motorcycle the braking balance of stopping power between the front and rear is 70 on the front and 30 on the rear This should tell you that if you donrsquot use the rear brake at all you are loosing 30 of the potential stopping power on your bike This could become a critical factor if you find yourself in trouble and have to try
and avoid an accident
Why does the rear brake lock up Well once again it has to do with weight distribution When you find yourself in a braking situation and start applying the brakes the geometry of the bike changes (due partly to the suspension) and much of the total weight (bike + rider) is transferred to the front This allows the rider to apply much more front brake than rear brake (the 7030 ratio)
Learning the finer points of your bikersquos braking performance is the key to keeping your bike in control It is a good idea to explore those limits in a safe environment
Practice repeated stops in an abandoned parking lot and yoursquoll start to get a feel for the amount of
effort that triggers tire slippage or rear tire lock-up
Try stopping with your front brake only then rear only and then a combination of both Once you become more familiar with your bikersquos brakes the sensations of weight transfer will start to feel more apparent and familiar That way yoursquoll be much more aware of the limits of your bike and yoursquoll be much better prepared in stopping

Moncton during the inaugural Atlanticade eventldquoI saw these guys who were hanging around
together with CAV crests on their vests and didnrsquot really know who they wererdquo says Dale Hicks festival founder and chairman Hicks began to connect the dots on the final day when the closing parade ended at the local veteranrsquos health care center and the CAV riders were very engaged with the vets ldquoSo I starting asking ndash who are these guys and what does CAV stand forrdquo
That was over seven years ago and now the relationship between Atlanticade and the Canadian Army Veterans is as strong a bond as you will find anywhere in the world of motorcycle events
ldquoOnce we became aware of who the CAV group was and what they represented I said well this group reflects the best of what it means to be Canadian so we certainly wanted to build a relationship with themrdquo recalls Hicks
Since then CAV has played a significant role in some form or fashion at each Atlanticade event The festival now has a
ldquoSupport the Troopsrdquo activity incorporated into the schedule each year where CAV plays a lead role In addition CAV will also be found leading parades such as the Confederation Bridge Cruise and the Parade of Iron Horses
In fact in 2011 Hicks was surprised and honored to be presented with an
honorary membership into the CAV organization at the closing awards breakfast at the Algonquin Hotel in St Andrews
ldquoYeah they caught me off guard with that and I certainly was humbled and honored by to be presented the crest by Trapperrdquo says Hicks ldquoI donrsquot feel worthy of wearing the crest but I do sport it proudly at certain times during Atlanticaderdquo
The unique bond between the two organizations continues for the upcoming 8th annual festival being held in Summerside PEI from June 27th to
Continued Next Page
(Atlanticade chairman Dale Hicks had just presented Trapper Cane with the annual ldquoExperienced Rider Awardrdquo
when Cane turned the tables by presenting Hicks with his honorary CAV membership during the 2011 event)
July 1st Recenty CAV founder Paul (Trapper) Cane announced the grouprsquos annual general meeting will take place in Summerside in conjunction with Atlanticade
ldquoAtlanticade brings great energy to all riders and our CAV members certainly appreciate the extra efforts put forth by Dalersquos team to give us some profile at the eventrdquo says Cane ldquoNo doubt it has been a great relationship between the two organizations and we hope it continues well into the futurerdquo
For his part Hicks says that Atlanticade is very proud to be able to host the CAV ndash AGM as part of the 2014 festival ldquoWe always have a good turnout of CAV members at our event but this will mean an additional boost in participants from across the country We hope we can make it a little special for them and something they will remember years down the roadrdquo

and take a step up Pretty soon everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted offAnd the moral ishellip Life is going to shovel dirt on you all kinds of dirt The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up Each of our troubles is a steppingstone We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping never giving up Shake it off and take a step up

After a magnificent breakfast I started loading up my bike and it wasnrsquot long before the gang arrived to come take me sightseeing
Our first stop of the day after topping up our tanks was at the look out of Lac Saint Jean
From here you truly get a sense of how immense this lake is
We took some time to admire the view and chat about the plans for the rest of the day
Our next stop was to be the Camp Musical a purely French speaking musical camp for students to come and immerse themselves in the culture of the region and the music that is their passion
The camp has numerous housing units and the most incredible concert hall The Raymond Tremblay concert hall has 320 seats 2 piano rooms a bistro terrace and exhibition hall The Egyptian goddess Hathor is symbolized here and she represents happiness joy and music
The acoustics even when you are just speaking
well stunning would be the word to describe the sound quality
Everything about this 40-year-old institute screams creativity We went up to the gazebo on the observation deck and took in the panorama Breathtakingly beautiful you can see why this region inspires music and lyrics
After our tour of the camp was done we headed out towards the Village Historique Val-Jalbert Canadarsquos BEST preserved Ghost Town I couldnrsquot wait
The ride from the Camp Musical to Val-Jalbert which is just northwest of Chambord took about 30 minutes It was a wee bit overcast but the temperature was perfect for riding
When we arrived at Val-Jalbert we headed into the gorgeous visitor information centre and were assigned a tour guide named Michelle Pelletier Michelle turned out to be an amazing tour guide
She spoke in both French and English easily and made all of us feel so welcome

We got in an electric cart and began our tour with Michelle telling us about the history of this town and why it is such a significant tourism and historical attraction
You see this town was the dream of one man Damase Jalbert He was the founder of the Ouiatchouan Pulp Company that built a pulp mill
here The town he founded for his employees started out as Saint-Georges-de-Ouiatchouan named for the river and the falls that powered the mill The name was changed to Val-Jalbert in 1913 in honor of the man whose dream it was
Damase wanted to build the best company town and provide his employees with a rarified quality of living
He died suddenly three years after opening the mill The mill faced a cash shortage and was bought by American shareholders in 1904 In 1909 the Chicoutimi Pulp Company bought it
From 1909 to 1922 the village flourished and was the envy of many surrounding communities
The company town offered employees electricity and running water in their homes a good 25 years before anyone else in Quebec had power
In 1923 the demand for mechanical pulp began to fall and by 1924 most of the workers had been laid off
On August 13th 1927 all operations ceased and over the next few years the village became abandoned
In 1942 the government took the property back for non-payment of taxes and in 1970 Val-Jalbert had new life breathed into it as a tourist attraction In recent years the government of Quebec has spent 19+ million dollars to upgrade and improve the visitors information centre put in a glass observation deck and a whole host of other improvements
Val-Jalbert must have been the most amazing town in the region in its day because this place is utterly amazing today The Quebec government has spent a lot of money and time restoring this
place to preserve the history and they have done an incredible job
Our first stop on the tour was the convent school where we met ldquoMother Superiorrdquo who took us through the school and answered our questions She was stern but I think there was a glint of mischief in her eyes as she ldquodisciplinedrdquo us on proper etiquette
There was the most amazing art display in
one room and in another the historical timeline of the residents of Val-Jalbert to take in The antiques and furnishings truly made you feel you were stuck in a time warp
After touring the school we headed towards the post office The ldquopostmistressrdquo was this chatty little gal that had us peeing ourselves we were laughing so hard It was pretty cool to see the old stamps and the various bits of equipment of the day
We walked up the street to take a tour of the restored duplexes that line the main street You have to see these places to truly appreciate them Imagine 1910 and you can flip a switch and have lights turn a tap and have water flush a toilet and not have to walk to the outhouse
These company houses were so well built and the people who lived here were fiercely loyal to the company that treated them so well
From the duplexes we went to the general store where we ran into the ldquoMayorrdquo the only person in town to have a car The general store offers up everything a visitor could need plus acts as a museum with lots of interesting period pieces on display
Michelle had gotten keys to show us the duplexes that have been upgraded and make up the 4 star accommodations offered here
We walked across the street and were taken to view to the most amazing hotel rooms
Rustic and yet modern these rooms are spacious well appointed and every one of them has unique little shadow boxes filled with antiques
All of the modern appliances Internet boxes and TV are all hidden in closets so that they are not visible It makes for a very appealing deacutecor
Although the rooms appear to only have one bed in the matter of a few moments Michelle had the
couch taken apart and the bed folded down out of the wall for a second bed
The bathrooms are absolute marvels with big tubs and glass showers
The parking for the hotel rooms is hidden behind a row of trees so that there is no real visual of anything modern on the face of things
From the hotel rooms we got back in the electric cart and headed towards the ldquoruinsrdquo Although many of the duplexes have been restored Michelle explained to us that the style of construction for the company houses had been changed and that
the newer houses had collapsed on themselves Some of the buildings are slated for restoration but many are too far-gone The streets they line are preserved so that one can walk by the ruins and get a feel for how large this town really was and how well laid out it was
Our next stop was the Mill Impressive is a good word to describe this place We had our lunch in the Old Mill Restaurant The food served here complimented the
atmosphere ndash IMPECCABLEThe chef Carl Murray has a great reputation that
he totally lives up toThe service
the food the atmosphere and the company were all top drawer
After our fabulous meal it was time to head to the tram and go experience the waterfalls
The ride up to the top gives you the most magnificent view of the region The Ouiatchouan Falls are some 65 feet higher than the Niagara Falls
and the power of them is palpable The rushing water is almost deafening as you walk out on to the glass observation deck
From the falls we walked down to the mill again and took in the most impressive interactive show I have ever experienced In the underbelly of the once abandoned mill amongst all of the monster gearing and shafts the lights go dim you feel the mist in the air and all of a sudden the walls become alive with characters from the original town and they take you through the historical timeline of the village and its people
It is absolutely captivating you become totally involved in the lives and the hardship of the villagers
The show signaled the end of our tour and Michelle took us back to the visitor information centre and sent us all off with gifts of blueberry jam and blueberry tea to remember our visit by
My bike had been acting up off and on and I had been keeping an eye out on a leak coming from the front of the engine The noise from the shifter region was becoming louder but I wasnrsquot experiencing any power loss so I kept an ear out and we kept riding
Our next stop was at the Cheddar Cheese Museum in Saint-Prime where a sweet young man took us on a tour
He showed us the old-fashioned way cheddar cheese was made and then we got to tour the museum portion of the factory 4 generations of the family Perron have made cheddar cheese here
The museum has over 650 artifacts that involve the familyrsquos history in cheese making including the stamps and other machinery used in exporting the cheese
The Cheddar Cheese Museum offers interactive displays and hosts several workshops on the art of making cheddar Upstairs you can view the family home of the Perronrsquos and see all of the period specific furnishings
Along with guided tours you can also sample the various types of cheddar cheese which we did and oh my I have never tasted cheddar that was so smooth and rich
After thanking our young guide for the fabulous tour we headed off
We stopped at Tim Hortonrsquos for a coffee and sitting out on the curb in front of my bike I could see the leak was getting worse I was very concerned and asked if there was a shop nearby where I could at least check the oil level in my primary
Rejean talked to one of the local riders Denis AKA Tarte au Sucre (Sweet Pie) and he took us to Carl Tremblayrsquos shop Carl is a mechanic that many here swear by His rates are far cheaper than the dealerships and every rider in the region says hersquos a guru He took the primary apart and sure
enough discovered that the compensating sprocket was dead and the stator was leaking With parts ordered and Rejeanrsquos wife going to the Harley shop to pick them up Francine Lynne Rejean and Denis rode me to my hotel the Motel Chutes des Pegraveres in Dolbeau-Mistassini My gear and luggage was distributed over three of the four bikes
By the time we got in it was dark and everyone had to head home I enjoyed a wonderful steak for supper and then headed off to my beautiful room and after a boiling hot pounding shower I climbed into the queen-sized bed and with the sound of the falls lulling me to sleep
And thatrsquos where I will leave you until next weekhellipBelt Drive Betty

1 - Yoursquoll Become a Better DriverTherersquos no doubt that riding a motorcycle has its
benefits especially when it comes to driving a car Riding a motorcycle teaches you to look out for people who are trying to kill you yoursquoll see hazards sooner and yoursquoll end up with Ninja-like machine control So when it comes to driving yoursquoll put all that to work and be a cut above the rest Hopefully
2 - Everyone Wants To Talk To YouIt really doesnrsquot matter what kind of motorcycle
you ride yoursquoll find middle-aged men stare at you and your bike with a dreamy lust before giving you an unwanted compliment Chances are theyrsquoll have no idea what the bike is either
Choose a classic or even worse a modern classic and yoursquoll become a magnet for old men who have the knack of being able to have a conversation with you without you needing to add any input Yoursquoll reach for your helmet on more than one occasion but not be able to put in on and leave because theyrsquoll ask you a question when you try Yoursquoll be subjected to questions about your
bike that you donrsquot know the answer to or even care about
The conversation will go something like this Is that a Triumph I had a Triumph once (followed by 10 minutes of ldquoback in my day rdquo)
3 - When You Say Yoursquore A Biker This Is The First Image That
Comes To Peoplehellip
5 Things They Never Told You About Becoming A Bikerby Robert Whaley NW Ontario Motorcycling
You could be a nice guy you could have something that resembles a career you could do the occasional BBQ it doesnrsquot matter When you mention to anyone at a party that yoursquove got a motorcycle a picture of this guy will pop into their head Then as you explain that you donrsquot ride a cruiser and yoursquove got a sportsbike theyrsquoll just think yoursquore speaking Greek and will reevaluate you as some sort of nut job who tries to kill himself on the highways Itrsquos a no-win
4 - Bees and Other Flying Things Will Start To Scare You
Anything flying will scare you When yoursquore sitting around at a family BBQ and everyone starts going mental the moment a bee or a wasp arrives on the scene you sit there perfectly calm and wonder what all the fuss is about
However - when yoursquore on a bike itrsquos a different story There you are riding along on a nice sunny day with your visor up enjoying the countryside and the winding road in front of you
Then you spot it 50 metres away a large insect looks like its stopped going about its daily business and itrsquos homing in at you instead Before you can do anything about it it goes THHHHHWAP right on your cheek Close but luckily it didnrsquot get you in the eye Then you panic the little bastardrsquos still in your helmet You insert a clumsy leather-clad finger and try and flick whatever it is away but probably end up pissing it off even further Then you crank on the brakes and perform the worldrsquos fastest lid removal followed by a little bit of a flappy-armed dance
5 - You Canrsquot Figure Out Who To Wave ToWhen you get a motorcycle you become part of a
club Itrsquos a club no biker really talks about but yoursquore in it now and yoursquore not allowed to leave Ever When you first pass your test yoursquoll wave at anyone and everyone If yoursquore heading down a road and a dog looks at you the right way yoursquoll probably wave at him too
Unfortunately this will change There are no set rules as to how it will change but yoursquoll end up developing your own code Me I wave at everyone dogs too and donrsquot give a second thought to the riders that donrsquot wave back But thatrsquos just me Yoursquoll have to work out your own code
Breaking is one of the most important things that you will learn to do on a motorcycle When we first learn to ride we are taught techniques to protect ourselves from crashing such as breaking shifting and countersteering But generally the most effective way to avoid an accident is through proper use of the brakes
The rear brake in particular is probably one of the least understood controls on a motorcycle Many riders donrsquot use the rear brake at all claiming that it doesnrsquot actually aid in slowing down or stopping the bike and say that it locks up the rear tire when trying to use it In fact most experts agree that a balanced use of both the front and rear brake is the most effective way of slowing or stopping a motorcycle
The rear brake also plays a huge role in adding stability to the bike when maneuvering
Because of the weight distribution on a motorcycle the braking balance of stopping power between the front and rear is 70 on the front and 30 on the rear This should tell you that if you donrsquot use the rear brake at all you are loosing 30 of the potential stopping power on your bike This could become a critical factor if you find yourself in trouble and have to try
and avoid an accident
Why does the rear brake lock up Well once again it has to do with weight distribution When you find yourself in a braking situation and start applying the brakes the geometry of the bike changes (due partly to the suspension) and much of the total weight (bike + rider) is transferred to the front This allows the rider to apply much more front brake than rear brake (the 7030 ratio)
Learning the finer points of your bikersquos braking performance is the key to keeping your bike in control It is a good idea to explore those limits in a safe environment
Practice repeated stops in an abandoned parking lot and yoursquoll start to get a feel for the amount of
effort that triggers tire slippage or rear tire lock-up
Try stopping with your front brake only then rear only and then a combination of both Once you become more familiar with your bikersquos brakes the sensations of weight transfer will start to feel more apparent and familiar That way yoursquoll be much more aware of the limits of your bike and yoursquoll be much better prepared in stopping
How Much Do You Use Your Rear Brake by Robert Whaley NW Ontario Motorcycling

CAV To Hold AGM During ATLANTICADE (Summerside PE)
ndash The relationship started off by accident back in 2007 in
Moncton during the inaugural Atlanticade eventldquoI saw these guys who were hanging around
together with CAV crests on their vests and didnrsquot really know who they wererdquo says Dale Hicks festival founder and chairman Hicks began to connect the dots on the final day when the closing parade ended at the local veteranrsquos health care center and the CAV riders were very engaged with the vets ldquoSo I starting asking ndash who are these guys and what does CAV stand forrdquo
That was over seven years ago and now the relationship between Atlanticade and the Canadian Army Veterans is as strong a bond as you will find anywhere in the world of motorcycle events
ldquoOnce we became aware of who the CAV group was and what they represented I said well this group reflects the best of what it means to be Canadian so we certainly wanted to build a relationship with themrdquo recalls Hicks
Since then CAV has played a significant role in some form or fashion at each Atlanticade event The festival now has a
ldquoSupport the Troopsrdquo activity incorporated into the schedule each year where CAV plays a lead role In addition CAV will also be found leading parades such as the Confederation Bridge Cruise and the Parade of Iron Horses
In fact in 2011 Hicks was surprised and honored to be presented with an
honorary membership into the CAV organization at the closing awards breakfast at the Algonquin Hotel in St Andrews
ldquoYeah they caught me off guard with that and I certainly was humbled and honored by to be presented the crest by Trapperrdquo says Hicks ldquoI donrsquot feel worthy of wearing the crest but I do sport it proudly at certain times during Atlanticaderdquo
The unique bond between the two organizations continues for the upcoming 8th annual festival being held in Summerside PEI from June 27th to
Continued Next Page
(Atlanticade chairman Dale Hicks had just presented Trapper Cane with the annual ldquoExperienced Rider Awardrdquo
when Cane turned the tables by presenting Hicks with his honorary CAV membership during the 2011 event)
July 1st Recenty CAV founder Paul (Trapper) Cane announced the grouprsquos annual general meeting will take place in Summerside in conjunction with Atlanticade
ldquoAtlanticade brings great energy to all riders and our CAV members certainly appreciate the extra efforts put forth by Dalersquos team to give us some profile at the eventrdquo says Cane ldquoNo doubt it has been a great relationship between the two organizations and we hope it continues well into the futurerdquo
For his part Hicks says that Atlanticade is very proud to be able to host the CAV ndash AGM as part of the 2014 festival ldquoWe always have a good turnout of CAV members at our event but this will mean an additional boost in participants from across the country We hope we can make it a little special for them and something they will remember years down the roadrdquo

and take a step up Pretty soon everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted offAnd the moral ishellip Life is going to shovel dirt on you all kinds of dirt The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up Each of our troubles is a steppingstone We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping never giving up Shake it off and take a step up

After a magnificent breakfast I started loading up my bike and it wasnrsquot long before the gang arrived to come take me sightseeing
Our first stop of the day after topping up our tanks was at the look out of Lac Saint Jean
From here you truly get a sense of how immense this lake is
We took some time to admire the view and chat about the plans for the rest of the day
Our next stop was to be the Camp Musical a purely French speaking musical camp for students to come and immerse themselves in the culture of the region and the music that is their passion
The camp has numerous housing units and the most incredible concert hall The Raymond Tremblay concert hall has 320 seats 2 piano rooms a bistro terrace and exhibition hall The Egyptian goddess Hathor is symbolized here and she represents happiness joy and music
The acoustics even when you are just speaking
well stunning would be the word to describe the sound quality
Everything about this 40-year-old institute screams creativity We went up to the gazebo on the observation deck and took in the panorama Breathtakingly beautiful you can see why this region inspires music and lyrics
After our tour of the camp was done we headed out towards the Village Historique Val-Jalbert Canadarsquos BEST preserved Ghost Town I couldnrsquot wait
The ride from the Camp Musical to Val-Jalbert which is just northwest of Chambord took about 30 minutes It was a wee bit overcast but the temperature was perfect for riding
When we arrived at Val-Jalbert we headed into the gorgeous visitor information centre and were assigned a tour guide named Michelle Pelletier Michelle turned out to be an amazing tour guide
She spoke in both French and English easily and made all of us feel so welcome

Saturday May 31st 2014 830 am Rain date June 1st rain or shine
We got in an electric cart and began our tour with Michelle telling us about the history of this town and why it is such a significant tourism and historical attraction
You see this town was the dream of one man Damase Jalbert He was the founder of the Ouiatchouan Pulp Company that built a pulp mill
here The town he founded for his employees started out as Saint-Georges-de-Ouiatchouan named for the river and the falls that powered the mill The name was changed to Val-Jalbert in 1913 in honor of the man whose dream it was
Damase wanted to build the best company town and provide his employees with a rarified quality of living
He died suddenly three years after opening the mill The mill faced a cash shortage and was bought by American shareholders in 1904 In 1909 the Chicoutimi Pulp Company bought it
From 1909 to 1922 the village flourished and was the envy of many surrounding communities
The company town offered employees electricity and running water in their homes a good 25 years before anyone else in Quebec had power
In 1923 the demand for mechanical pulp began to fall and by 1924 most of the workers had been laid off
On August 13th 1927 all operations ceased and over the next few years the village became abandoned
In 1942 the government took the property back for non-payment of taxes and in 1970 Val-Jalbert had new life breathed into it as a tourist attraction In recent years the government of Quebec has spent 19+ million dollars to upgrade and improve the visitors information centre put in a glass observation deck and a whole host of other improvements
Val-Jalbert must have been the most amazing town in the region in its day because this place is utterly amazing today The Quebec government has spent a lot of money and time restoring this
place to preserve the history and they have done an incredible job
Our first stop on the tour was the convent school where we met ldquoMother Superiorrdquo who took us through the school and answered our questions She was stern but I think there was a glint of mischief in her eyes as she ldquodisciplinedrdquo us on proper etiquette
There was the most amazing art display in
one room and in another the historical timeline of the residents of Val-Jalbert to take in The antiques and furnishings truly made you feel you were stuck in a time warp
After touring the school we headed towards the post office The ldquopostmistressrdquo was this chatty little gal that had us peeing ourselves we were laughing so hard It was pretty cool to see the old stamps and the various bits of equipment of the day
We walked up the street to take a tour of the restored duplexes that line the main street You have to see these places to truly appreciate them Imagine 1910 and you can flip a switch and have lights turn a tap and have water flush a toilet and not have to walk to the outhouse
These company houses were so well built and the people who lived here were fiercely loyal to the company that treated them so well
From the duplexes we went to the general store where we ran into the ldquoMayorrdquo the only person in town to have a car The general store offers up everything a visitor could need plus acts as a museum with lots of interesting period pieces on display
Michelle had gotten keys to show us the duplexes that have been upgraded and make up the 4 star accommodations offered here
We walked across the street and were taken to view to the most amazing hotel rooms
Rustic and yet modern these rooms are spacious well appointed and every one of them has unique little shadow boxes filled with antiques
All of the modern appliances Internet boxes and TV are all hidden in closets so that they are not visible It makes for a very appealing deacutecor
Although the rooms appear to only have one bed in the matter of a few moments Michelle had the
couch taken apart and the bed folded down out of the wall for a second bed
The bathrooms are absolute marvels with big tubs and glass showers
The parking for the hotel rooms is hidden behind a row of trees so that there is no real visual of anything modern on the face of things
From the hotel rooms we got back in the electric cart and headed towards the ldquoruinsrdquo Although many of the duplexes have been restored Michelle explained to us that the style of construction for the company houses had been changed and that
the newer houses had collapsed on themselves Some of the buildings are slated for restoration but many are too far-gone The streets they line are preserved so that one can walk by the ruins and get a feel for how large this town really was and how well laid out it was
Our next stop was the Mill Impressive is a good word to describe this place We had our lunch in the Old Mill Restaurant The food served here complimented the
atmosphere ndash IMPECCABLEThe chef Carl Murray has a great reputation that
he totally lives up toThe service
the food the atmosphere and the company were all top drawer
After our fabulous meal it was time to head to the tram and go experience the waterfalls
The ride up to the top gives you the most magnificent view of the region The Ouiatchouan Falls are some 65 feet higher than the Niagara Falls
and the power of them is palpable The rushing water is almost deafening as you walk out on to the glass observation deck
From the falls we walked down to the mill again and took in the most impressive interactive show I have ever experienced In the underbelly of the once abandoned mill amongst all of the monster gearing and shafts the lights go dim you feel the mist in the air and all of a sudden the walls become alive with characters from the original town and they take you through the historical timeline of the village and its people
It is absolutely captivating you become totally involved in the lives and the hardship of the villagers
The show signaled the end of our tour and Michelle took us back to the visitor information centre and sent us all off with gifts of blueberry jam and blueberry tea to remember our visit by
My bike had been acting up off and on and I had been keeping an eye out on a leak coming from the front of the engine The noise from the shifter region was becoming louder but I wasnrsquot experiencing any power loss so I kept an ear out and we kept riding
Our next stop was at the Cheddar Cheese Museum in Saint-Prime where a sweet young man took us on a tour
He showed us the old-fashioned way cheddar cheese was made and then we got to tour the museum portion of the factory 4 generations of the family Perron have made cheddar cheese here
The museum has over 650 artifacts that involve the familyrsquos history in cheese making including the stamps and other machinery used in exporting the cheese
The Cheddar Cheese Museum offers interactive displays and hosts several workshops on the art of making cheddar Upstairs you can view the family home of the Perronrsquos and see all of the period specific furnishings
Along with guided tours you can also sample the various types of cheddar cheese which we did and oh my I have never tasted cheddar that was so smooth and rich
After thanking our young guide for the fabulous tour we headed off
We stopped at Tim Hortonrsquos for a coffee and sitting out on the curb in front of my bike I could see the leak was getting worse I was very concerned and asked if there was a shop nearby where I could at least check the oil level in my primary
Rejean talked to one of the local riders Denis AKA Tarte au Sucre (Sweet Pie) and he took us to Carl Tremblayrsquos shop Carl is a mechanic that many here swear by His rates are far cheaper than the dealerships and every rider in the region says hersquos a guru He took the primary apart and sure
enough discovered that the compensating sprocket was dead and the stator was leaking With parts ordered and Rejeanrsquos wife going to the Harley shop to pick them up Francine Lynne Rejean and Denis rode me to my hotel the Motel Chutes des Pegraveres in Dolbeau-Mistassini My gear and luggage was distributed over three of the four bikes
By the time we got in it was dark and everyone had to head home I enjoyed a wonderful steak for supper and then headed off to my beautiful room and after a boiling hot pounding shower I climbed into the queen-sized bed and with the sound of the falls lulling me to sleep
And thatrsquos where I will leave you until next weekhellipBelt Drive Betty

1 - Yoursquoll Become a Better DriverTherersquos no doubt that riding a motorcycle has its
benefits especially when it comes to driving a car Riding a motorcycle teaches you to look out for people who are trying to kill you yoursquoll see hazards sooner and yoursquoll end up with Ninja-like machine control So when it comes to driving yoursquoll put all that to work and be a cut above the rest Hopefully
2 - Everyone Wants To Talk To YouIt really doesnrsquot matter what kind of motorcycle
you ride yoursquoll find middle-aged men stare at you and your bike with a dreamy lust before giving you an unwanted compliment Chances are theyrsquoll have no idea what the bike is either
Choose a classic or even worse a modern classic and yoursquoll become a magnet for old men who have the knack of being able to have a conversation with you without you needing to add any input Yoursquoll reach for your helmet on more than one occasion but not be able to put in on and leave because theyrsquoll ask you a question when you try Yoursquoll be subjected to questions about your
bike that you donrsquot know the answer to or even care about
The conversation will go something like this Is that a Triumph I had a Triumph once (followed by 10 minutes of ldquoback in my day rdquo)

You could be a nice guy you could have something that resembles a career you could do the occasional BBQ it doesnrsquot matter When you mention to anyone at a party that yoursquove got a motorcycle a picture of this guy will pop into their head Then as you explain that you donrsquot ride a cruiser and yoursquove got a sportsbike theyrsquoll just think yoursquore speaking Greek and will reevaluate you as some sort of nut job who tries to kill himself on the highways Itrsquos a no-win
4 - Bees and Other Flying Things Will Start To Scare You
Anything flying will scare you When yoursquore sitting around at a family BBQ and everyone starts going mental the moment a bee or a wasp arrives on the scene you sit there perfectly calm and wonder what all the fuss is about
However - when yoursquore on a bike itrsquos a different story There you are riding along on a nice sunny day with your visor up enjoying the countryside and the winding road in front of you
Then you spot it 50 metres away a large insect looks like its stopped going about its daily business and itrsquos homing in at you instead Before you can do anything about it it goes THHHHHWAP right on your cheek Close but luckily it didnrsquot get you in the eye Then you panic the little bastardrsquos still in your helmet You insert a clumsy leather-clad finger and try and flick whatever it is away but probably end up pissing it off even further Then you crank on the brakes and perform the worldrsquos fastest lid removal followed by a little bit of a flappy-armed dance
5 - You Canrsquot Figure Out Who To Wave ToWhen you get a motorcycle you become part of a
club Itrsquos a club no biker really talks about but yoursquore in it now and yoursquore not allowed to leave Ever When you first pass your test yoursquoll wave at anyone and everyone If yoursquore heading down a road and a dog looks at you the right way yoursquoll probably wave at him too
Unfortunately this will change There are no set rules as to how it will change but yoursquoll end up developing your own code Me I wave at everyone dogs too and donrsquot give a second thought to the riders that donrsquot wave back But thatrsquos just me Yoursquoll have to work out your own code
Breaking is one of the most important things that you will learn to do on a motorcycle When we first learn to ride we are taught techniques to protect ourselves from crashing such as breaking shifting and countersteering But generally the most effective way to avoid an accident is through proper use of the brakes
The rear brake in particular is probably one of the least understood controls on a motorcycle Many riders donrsquot use the rear brake at all claiming that it doesnrsquot actually aid in slowing down or stopping the bike and say that it locks up the rear tire when trying to use it In fact most experts agree that a balanced use of both the front and rear brake is the most effective way of slowing or stopping a motorcycle
The rear brake also plays a huge role in adding stability to the bike when maneuvering
Because of the weight distribution on a motorcycle the braking balance of stopping power between the front and rear is 70 on the front and 30 on the rear This should tell you that if you donrsquot use the rear brake at all you are loosing 30 of the potential stopping power on your bike This could become a critical factor if you find yourself in trouble and have to try
and avoid an accident
Why does the rear brake lock up Well once again it has to do with weight distribution When you find yourself in a braking situation and start applying the brakes the geometry of the bike changes (due partly to the suspension) and much of the total weight (bike + rider) is transferred to the front This allows the rider to apply much more front brake than rear brake (the 7030 ratio)
Learning the finer points of your bikersquos braking performance is the key to keeping your bike in control It is a good idea to explore those limits in a safe environment
Practice repeated stops in an abandoned parking lot and yoursquoll start to get a feel for the amount of
effort that triggers tire slippage or rear tire lock-up
Try stopping with your front brake only then rear only and then a combination of both Once you become more familiar with your bikersquos brakes the sensations of weight transfer will start to feel more apparent and familiar That way yoursquoll be much more aware of the limits of your bike and yoursquoll be much better prepared in stopping

CAV To Hold AGM During ATLANTICADE (Summerside PE)
ndash The relationship started off by accident back in 2007 in
Moncton during the inaugural Atlanticade eventldquoI saw these guys who were hanging around
together with CAV crests on their vests and didnrsquot really know who they wererdquo says Dale Hicks festival founder and chairman Hicks began to connect the dots on the final day when the closing parade ended at the local veteranrsquos health care center and the CAV riders were very engaged with the vets ldquoSo I starting asking ndash who are these guys and what does CAV stand forrdquo
That was over seven years ago and now the relationship between Atlanticade and the Canadian Army Veterans is as strong a bond as you will find anywhere in the world of motorcycle events
ldquoOnce we became aware of who the CAV group was and what they represented I said well this group reflects the best of what it means to be Canadian so we certainly wanted to build a relationship with themrdquo recalls Hicks
Since then CAV has played a significant role in some form or fashion at each Atlanticade event The festival now has a
ldquoSupport the Troopsrdquo activity incorporated into the schedule each year where CAV plays a lead role In addition CAV will also be found leading parades such as the Confederation Bridge Cruise and the Parade of Iron Horses
In fact in 2011 Hicks was surprised and honored to be presented with an
honorary membership into the CAV organization at the closing awards breakfast at the Algonquin Hotel in St Andrews
ldquoYeah they caught me off guard with that and I certainly was humbled and honored by to be presented the crest by Trapperrdquo says Hicks ldquoI donrsquot feel worthy of wearing the crest but I do sport it proudly at certain times during Atlanticaderdquo
The unique bond between the two organizations continues for the upcoming 8th annual festival being held in Summerside PEI from June 27th to
Continued Next Page
(Atlanticade chairman Dale Hicks had just presented Trapper Cane with the annual ldquoExperienced Rider Awardrdquo
when Cane turned the tables by presenting Hicks with his honorary CAV membership during the 2011 event)
July 1st Recenty CAV founder Paul (Trapper) Cane announced the grouprsquos annual general meeting will take place in Summerside in conjunction with Atlanticade
ldquoAtlanticade brings great energy to all riders and our CAV members certainly appreciate the extra efforts put forth by Dalersquos team to give us some profile at the eventrdquo says Cane ldquoNo doubt it has been a great relationship between the two organizations and we hope it continues well into the futurerdquo
For his part Hicks says that Atlanticade is very proud to be able to host the CAV ndash AGM as part of the 2014 festival ldquoWe always have a good turnout of CAV members at our event but this will mean an additional boost in participants from across the country We hope we can make it a little special for them and something they will remember years down the roadrdquo

and take a step up Pretty soon everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted offAnd the moral ishellip Life is going to shovel dirt on you all kinds of dirt The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up Each of our troubles is a steppingstone We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping never giving up Shake it off and take a step up

After a magnificent breakfast I started loading up my bike and it wasnrsquot long before the gang arrived to come take me sightseeing
Our first stop of the day after topping up our tanks was at the look out of Lac Saint Jean
From here you truly get a sense of how immense this lake is
We took some time to admire the view and chat about the plans for the rest of the day
Our next stop was to be the Camp Musical a purely French speaking musical camp for students to come and immerse themselves in the culture of the region and the music that is their passion
The camp has numerous housing units and the most incredible concert hall The Raymond Tremblay concert hall has 320 seats 2 piano rooms a bistro terrace and exhibition hall The Egyptian goddess Hathor is symbolized here and she represents happiness joy and music
The acoustics even when you are just speaking
well stunning would be the word to describe the sound quality
Everything about this 40-year-old institute screams creativity We went up to the gazebo on the observation deck and took in the panorama Breathtakingly beautiful you can see why this region inspires music and lyrics
After our tour of the camp was done we headed out towards the Village Historique Val-Jalbert Canadarsquos BEST preserved Ghost Town I couldnrsquot wait
The ride from the Camp Musical to Val-Jalbert which is just northwest of Chambord took about 30 minutes It was a wee bit overcast but the temperature was perfect for riding
When we arrived at Val-Jalbert we headed into the gorgeous visitor information centre and were assigned a tour guide named Michelle Pelletier Michelle turned out to be an amazing tour guide
She spoke in both French and English easily and made all of us feel so welcome

Saturday May 31st 2014 830 am Rain date June 1st rain or shine
We got in an electric cart and began our tour with Michelle telling us about the history of this town and why it is such a significant tourism and historical attraction
You see this town was the dream of one man Damase Jalbert He was the founder of the Ouiatchouan Pulp Company that built a pulp mill
here The town he founded for his employees started out as Saint-Georges-de-Ouiatchouan named for the river and the falls that powered the mill The name was changed to Val-Jalbert in 1913 in honor of the man whose dream it was
Damase wanted to build the best company town and provide his employees with a rarified quality of living
He died suddenly three years after opening the mill The mill faced a cash shortage and was bought by American shareholders in 1904 In 1909 the Chicoutimi Pulp Company bought it
From 1909 to 1922 the village flourished and was the envy of many surrounding communities
The company town offered employees electricity and running water in their homes a good 25 years before anyone else in Quebec had power
In 1923 the demand for mechanical pulp began to fall and by 1924 most of the workers had been laid off
On August 13th 1927 all operations ceased and over the next few years the village became abandoned
In 1942 the government took the property back for non-payment of taxes and in 1970 Val-Jalbert had new life breathed into it as a tourist attraction In recent years the government of Quebec has spent 19+ million dollars to upgrade and improve the visitors information centre put in a glass observation deck and a whole host of other improvements
Val-Jalbert must have been the most amazing town in the region in its day because this place is utterly amazing today The Quebec government has spent a lot of money and time restoring this
place to preserve the history and they have done an incredible job
Our first stop on the tour was the convent school where we met ldquoMother Superiorrdquo who took us through the school and answered our questions She was stern but I think there was a glint of mischief in her eyes as she ldquodisciplinedrdquo us on proper etiquette
There was the most amazing art display in
one room and in another the historical timeline of the residents of Val-Jalbert to take in The antiques and furnishings truly made you feel you were stuck in a time warp
After touring the school we headed towards the post office The ldquopostmistressrdquo was this chatty little gal that had us peeing ourselves we were laughing so hard It was pretty cool to see the old stamps and the various bits of equipment of the day
We walked up the street to take a tour of the restored duplexes that line the main street You have to see these places to truly appreciate them Imagine 1910 and you can flip a switch and have lights turn a tap and have water flush a toilet and not have to walk to the outhouse
These company houses were so well built and the people who lived here were fiercely loyal to the company that treated them so well
From the duplexes we went to the general store where we ran into the ldquoMayorrdquo the only person in town to have a car The general store offers up everything a visitor could need plus acts as a museum with lots of interesting period pieces on display
Michelle had gotten keys to show us the duplexes that have been upgraded and make up the 4 star accommodations offered here
We walked across the street and were taken to view to the most amazing hotel rooms
Rustic and yet modern these rooms are spacious well appointed and every one of them has unique little shadow boxes filled with antiques
All of the modern appliances Internet boxes and TV are all hidden in closets so that they are not visible It makes for a very appealing deacutecor
Although the rooms appear to only have one bed in the matter of a few moments Michelle had the
couch taken apart and the bed folded down out of the wall for a second bed
The bathrooms are absolute marvels with big tubs and glass showers
The parking for the hotel rooms is hidden behind a row of trees so that there is no real visual of anything modern on the face of things
From the hotel rooms we got back in the electric cart and headed towards the ldquoruinsrdquo Although many of the duplexes have been restored Michelle explained to us that the style of construction for the company houses had been changed and that
the newer houses had collapsed on themselves Some of the buildings are slated for restoration but many are too far-gone The streets they line are preserved so that one can walk by the ruins and get a feel for how large this town really was and how well laid out it was
Our next stop was the Mill Impressive is a good word to describe this place We had our lunch in the Old Mill Restaurant The food served here complimented the
atmosphere ndash IMPECCABLEThe chef Carl Murray has a great reputation that
he totally lives up toThe service
the food the atmosphere and the company were all top drawer
After our fabulous meal it was time to head to the tram and go experience the waterfalls
The ride up to the top gives you the most magnificent view of the region The Ouiatchouan Falls are some 65 feet higher than the Niagara Falls
and the power of them is palpable The rushing water is almost deafening as you walk out on to the glass observation deck
From the falls we walked down to the mill again and took in the most impressive interactive show I have ever experienced In the underbelly of the once abandoned mill amongst all of the monster gearing and shafts the lights go dim you feel the mist in the air and all of a sudden the walls become alive with characters from the original town and they take you through the historical timeline of the village and its people
It is absolutely captivating you become totally involved in the lives and the hardship of the villagers
The show signaled the end of our tour and Michelle took us back to the visitor information centre and sent us all off with gifts of blueberry jam and blueberry tea to remember our visit by
My bike had been acting up off and on and I had been keeping an eye out on a leak coming from the front of the engine The noise from the shifter region was becoming louder but I wasnrsquot experiencing any power loss so I kept an ear out and we kept riding
Our next stop was at the Cheddar Cheese Museum in Saint-Prime where a sweet young man took us on a tour
He showed us the old-fashioned way cheddar cheese was made and then we got to tour the museum portion of the factory 4 generations of the family Perron have made cheddar cheese here
The museum has over 650 artifacts that involve the familyrsquos history in cheese making including the stamps and other machinery used in exporting the cheese
The Cheddar Cheese Museum offers interactive displays and hosts several workshops on the art of making cheddar Upstairs you can view the family home of the Perronrsquos and see all of the period specific furnishings
Along with guided tours you can also sample the various types of cheddar cheese which we did and oh my I have never tasted cheddar that was so smooth and rich
After thanking our young guide for the fabulous tour we headed off
We stopped at Tim Hortonrsquos for a coffee and sitting out on the curb in front of my bike I could see the leak was getting worse I was very concerned and asked if there was a shop nearby where I could at least check the oil level in my primary
Rejean talked to one of the local riders Denis AKA Tarte au Sucre (Sweet Pie) and he took us to Carl Tremblayrsquos shop Carl is a mechanic that many here swear by His rates are far cheaper than the dealerships and every rider in the region says hersquos a guru He took the primary apart and sure
enough discovered that the compensating sprocket was dead and the stator was leaking With parts ordered and Rejeanrsquos wife going to the Harley shop to pick them up Francine Lynne Rejean and Denis rode me to my hotel the Motel Chutes des Pegraveres in Dolbeau-Mistassini My gear and luggage was distributed over three of the four bikes
By the time we got in it was dark and everyone had to head home I enjoyed a wonderful steak for supper and then headed off to my beautiful room and after a boiling hot pounding shower I climbed into the queen-sized bed and with the sound of the falls lulling me to sleep
And thatrsquos where I will leave you until next weekhellipBelt Drive Betty

1 - Yoursquoll Become a Better DriverTherersquos no doubt that riding a motorcycle has its
benefits especially when it comes to driving a car Riding a motorcycle teaches you to look out for people who are trying to kill you yoursquoll see hazards sooner and yoursquoll end up with Ninja-like machine control So when it comes to driving yoursquoll put all that to work and be a cut above the rest Hopefully
2 - Everyone Wants To Talk To YouIt really doesnrsquot matter what kind of motorcycle
you ride yoursquoll find middle-aged men stare at you and your bike with a dreamy lust before giving you an unwanted compliment Chances are theyrsquoll have no idea what the bike is either
Choose a classic or even worse a modern classic and yoursquoll become a magnet for old men who have the knack of being able to have a conversation with you without you needing to add any input Yoursquoll reach for your helmet on more than one occasion but not be able to put in on and leave because theyrsquoll ask you a question when you try Yoursquoll be subjected to questions about your
bike that you donrsquot know the answer to or even care about
The conversation will go something like this Is that a Triumph I had a Triumph once (followed by 10 minutes of ldquoback in my day rdquo)
3 - When You Say Yoursquore A Biker This Is The First Image That
Comes To Peoplehellip
5 Things They Never Told You About Becoming A Bikerby Robert Whaley NW Ontario Motorcycling
You could be a nice guy you could have something that resembles a career you could do the occasional BBQ it doesnrsquot matter When you mention to anyone at a party that yoursquove got a motorcycle a picture of this guy will pop into their head Then as you explain that you donrsquot ride a cruiser and yoursquove got a sportsbike theyrsquoll just think yoursquore speaking Greek and will reevaluate you as some sort of nut job who tries to kill himself on the highways Itrsquos a no-win
4 - Bees and Other Flying Things Will Start To Scare You
Anything flying will scare you When yoursquore sitting around at a family BBQ and everyone starts going mental the moment a bee or a wasp arrives on the scene you sit there perfectly calm and wonder what all the fuss is about
However - when yoursquore on a bike itrsquos a different story There you are riding along on a nice sunny day with your visor up enjoying the countryside and the winding road in front of you
Then you spot it 50 metres away a large insect looks like its stopped going about its daily business and itrsquos homing in at you instead Before you can do anything about it it goes THHHHHWAP right on your cheek Close but luckily it didnrsquot get you in the eye Then you panic the little bastardrsquos still in your helmet You insert a clumsy leather-clad finger and try and flick whatever it is away but probably end up pissing it off even further Then you crank on the brakes and perform the worldrsquos fastest lid removal followed by a little bit of a flappy-armed dance
5 - You Canrsquot Figure Out Who To Wave ToWhen you get a motorcycle you become part of a
club Itrsquos a club no biker really talks about but yoursquore in it now and yoursquore not allowed to leave Ever When you first pass your test yoursquoll wave at anyone and everyone If yoursquore heading down a road and a dog looks at you the right way yoursquoll probably wave at him too
Unfortunately this will change There are no set rules as to how it will change but yoursquoll end up developing your own code Me I wave at everyone dogs too and donrsquot give a second thought to the riders that donrsquot wave back But thatrsquos just me Yoursquoll have to work out your own code
Breaking is one of the most important things that you will learn to do on a motorcycle When we first learn to ride we are taught techniques to protect ourselves from crashing such as breaking shifting and countersteering But generally the most effective way to avoid an accident is through proper use of the brakes
The rear brake in particular is probably one of the least understood controls on a motorcycle Many riders donrsquot use the rear brake at all claiming that it doesnrsquot actually aid in slowing down or stopping the bike and say that it locks up the rear tire when trying to use it In fact most experts agree that a balanced use of both the front and rear brake is the most effective way of slowing or stopping a motorcycle
The rear brake also plays a huge role in adding stability to the bike when maneuvering
Because of the weight distribution on a motorcycle the braking balance of stopping power between the front and rear is 70 on the front and 30 on the rear This should tell you that if you donrsquot use the rear brake at all you are loosing 30 of the potential stopping power on your bike This could become a critical factor if you find yourself in trouble and have to try
and avoid an accident
Why does the rear brake lock up Well once again it has to do with weight distribution When you find yourself in a braking situation and start applying the brakes the geometry of the bike changes (due partly to the suspension) and much of the total weight (bike + rider) is transferred to the front This allows the rider to apply much more front brake than rear brake (the 7030 ratio)
Learning the finer points of your bikersquos braking performance is the key to keeping your bike in control It is a good idea to explore those limits in a safe environment
Practice repeated stops in an abandoned parking lot and yoursquoll start to get a feel for the amount of
effort that triggers tire slippage or rear tire lock-up
Try stopping with your front brake only then rear only and then a combination of both Once you become more familiar with your bikersquos brakes the sensations of weight transfer will start to feel more apparent and familiar That way yoursquoll be much more aware of the limits of your bike and yoursquoll be much better prepared in stopping

CAV To Hold AGM During ATLANTICADE (Summerside PE)
ndash The relationship started off by accident back in 2007 in
Moncton during the inaugural Atlanticade eventldquoI saw these guys who were hanging around
together with CAV crests on their vests and didnrsquot really know who they wererdquo says Dale Hicks festival founder and chairman Hicks began to connect the dots on the final day when the closing parade ended at the local veteranrsquos health care center and the CAV riders were very engaged with the vets ldquoSo I starting asking ndash who are these guys and what does CAV stand forrdquo
That was over seven years ago and now the relationship between Atlanticade and the Canadian Army Veterans is as strong a bond as you will find anywhere in the world of motorcycle events
ldquoOnce we became aware of who the CAV group was and what they represented I said well this group reflects the best of what it means to be Canadian so we certainly wanted to build a relationship with themrdquo recalls Hicks
Since then CAV has played a significant role in some form or fashion at each Atlanticade event The festival now has a
ldquoSupport the Troopsrdquo activity incorporated into the schedule each year where CAV plays a lead role In addition CAV will also be found leading parades such as the Confederation Bridge Cruise and the Parade of Iron Horses
In fact in 2011 Hicks was surprised and honored to be presented with an
honorary membership into the CAV organization at the closing awards breakfast at the Algonquin Hotel in St Andrews
ldquoYeah they caught me off guard with that and I certainly was humbled and honored by to be presented the crest by Trapperrdquo says Hicks ldquoI donrsquot feel worthy of wearing the crest but I do sport it proudly at certain times during Atlanticaderdquo
The unique bond between the two organizations continues for the upcoming 8th annual festival being held in Summerside PEI from June 27th to
Continued Next Page
(Atlanticade chairman Dale Hicks had just presented Trapper Cane with the annual ldquoExperienced Rider Awardrdquo
when Cane turned the tables by presenting Hicks with his honorary CAV membership during the 2011 event)
July 1st Recenty CAV founder Paul (Trapper) Cane announced the grouprsquos annual general meeting will take place in Summerside in conjunction with Atlanticade
ldquoAtlanticade brings great energy to all riders and our CAV members certainly appreciate the extra efforts put forth by Dalersquos team to give us some profile at the eventrdquo says Cane ldquoNo doubt it has been a great relationship between the two organizations and we hope it continues well into the futurerdquo
For his part Hicks says that Atlanticade is very proud to be able to host the CAV ndash AGM as part of the 2014 festival ldquoWe always have a good turnout of CAV members at our event but this will mean an additional boost in participants from across the country We hope we can make it a little special for them and something they will remember years down the roadrdquo

and take a step up Pretty soon everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted offAnd the moral ishellip Life is going to shovel dirt on you all kinds of dirt The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up Each of our troubles is a steppingstone We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping never giving up Shake it off and take a step up

After a magnificent breakfast I started loading up my bike and it wasnrsquot long before the gang arrived to come take me sightseeing
Our first stop of the day after topping up our tanks was at the look out of Lac Saint Jean
From here you truly get a sense of how immense this lake is
We took some time to admire the view and chat about the plans for the rest of the day
Our next stop was to be the Camp Musical a purely French speaking musical camp for students to come and immerse themselves in the culture of the region and the music that is their passion
The camp has numerous housing units and the most incredible concert hall The Raymond Tremblay concert hall has 320 seats 2 piano rooms a bistro terrace and exhibition hall The Egyptian goddess Hathor is symbolized here and she represents happiness joy and music
The acoustics even when you are just speaking
well stunning would be the word to describe the sound quality
Everything about this 40-year-old institute screams creativity We went up to the gazebo on the observation deck and took in the panorama Breathtakingly beautiful you can see why this region inspires music and lyrics
After our tour of the camp was done we headed out towards the Village Historique Val-Jalbert Canadarsquos BEST preserved Ghost Town I couldnrsquot wait
The ride from the Camp Musical to Val-Jalbert which is just northwest of Chambord took about 30 minutes It was a wee bit overcast but the temperature was perfect for riding
When we arrived at Val-Jalbert we headed into the gorgeous visitor information centre and were assigned a tour guide named Michelle Pelletier Michelle turned out to be an amazing tour guide
She spoke in both French and English easily and made all of us feel so welcome

Saturday May 31st 2014 830 am Rain date June 1st rain or shine
We got in an electric cart and began our tour with Michelle telling us about the history of this town and why it is such a significant tourism and historical attraction
You see this town was the dream of one man Damase Jalbert He was the founder of the Ouiatchouan Pulp Company that built a pulp mill
here The town he founded for his employees started out as Saint-Georges-de-Ouiatchouan named for the river and the falls that powered the mill The name was changed to Val-Jalbert in 1913 in honor of the man whose dream it was
Damase wanted to build the best company town and provide his employees with a rarified quality of living
He died suddenly three years after opening the mill The mill faced a cash shortage and was bought by American shareholders in 1904 In 1909 the Chicoutimi Pulp Company bought it
From 1909 to 1922 the village flourished and was the envy of many surrounding communities
The company town offered employees electricity and running water in their homes a good 25 years before anyone else in Quebec had power
In 1923 the demand for mechanical pulp began to fall and by 1924 most of the workers had been laid off
On August 13th 1927 all operations ceased and over the next few years the village became abandoned
In 1942 the government took the property back for non-payment of taxes and in 1970 Val-Jalbert had new life breathed into it as a tourist attraction In recent years the government of Quebec has spent 19+ million dollars to upgrade and improve the visitors information centre put in a glass observation deck and a whole host of other improvements
Val-Jalbert must have been the most amazing town in the region in its day because this place is utterly amazing today The Quebec government has spent a lot of money and time restoring this
place to preserve the history and they have done an incredible job
Our first stop on the tour was the convent school where we met ldquoMother Superiorrdquo who took us through the school and answered our questions She was stern but I think there was a glint of mischief in her eyes as she ldquodisciplinedrdquo us on proper etiquette
There was the most amazing art display in
one room and in another the historical timeline of the residents of Val-Jalbert to take in The antiques and furnishings truly made you feel you were stuck in a time warp
After touring the school we headed towards the post office The ldquopostmistressrdquo was this chatty little gal that had us peeing ourselves we were laughing so hard It was pretty cool to see the old stamps and the various bits of equipment of the day
We walked up the street to take a tour of the restored duplexes that line the main street You have to see these places to truly appreciate them Imagine 1910 and you can flip a switch and have lights turn a tap and have water flush a toilet and not have to walk to the outhouse
These company houses were so well built and the people who lived here were fiercely loyal to the company that treated them so well
From the duplexes we went to the general store where we ran into the ldquoMayorrdquo the only person in town to have a car The general store offers up everything a visitor could need plus acts as a museum with lots of interesting period pieces on display
Michelle had gotten keys to show us the duplexes that have been upgraded and make up the 4 star accommodations offered here
We walked across the street and were taken to view to the most amazing hotel rooms
Rustic and yet modern these rooms are spacious well appointed and every one of them has unique little shadow boxes filled with antiques
All of the modern appliances Internet boxes and TV are all hidden in closets so that they are not visible It makes for a very appealing deacutecor
Although the rooms appear to only have one bed in the matter of a few moments Michelle had the
couch taken apart and the bed folded down out of the wall for a second bed
The bathrooms are absolute marvels with big tubs and glass showers
The parking for the hotel rooms is hidden behind a row of trees so that there is no real visual of anything modern on the face of things
From the hotel rooms we got back in the electric cart and headed towards the ldquoruinsrdquo Although many of the duplexes have been restored Michelle explained to us that the style of construction for the company houses had been changed and that
the newer houses had collapsed on themselves Some of the buildings are slated for restoration but many are too far-gone The streets they line are preserved so that one can walk by the ruins and get a feel for how large this town really was and how well laid out it was
Our next stop was the Mill Impressive is a good word to describe this place We had our lunch in the Old Mill Restaurant The food served here complimented the
atmosphere ndash IMPECCABLEThe chef Carl Murray has a great reputation that
he totally lives up toThe service
the food the atmosphere and the company were all top drawer
After our fabulous meal it was time to head to the tram and go experience the waterfalls
The ride up to the top gives you the most magnificent view of the region The Ouiatchouan Falls are some 65 feet higher than the Niagara Falls
and the power of them is palpable The rushing water is almost deafening as you walk out on to the glass observation deck
From the falls we walked down to the mill again and took in the most impressive interactive show I have ever experienced In the underbelly of the once abandoned mill amongst all of the monster gearing and shafts the lights go dim you feel the mist in the air and all of a sudden the walls become alive with characters from the original town and they take you through the historical timeline of the village and its people
It is absolutely captivating you become totally involved in the lives and the hardship of the villagers
The show signaled the end of our tour and Michelle took us back to the visitor information centre and sent us all off with gifts of blueberry jam and blueberry tea to remember our visit by
My bike had been acting up off and on and I had been keeping an eye out on a leak coming from the front of the engine The noise from the shifter region was becoming louder but I wasnrsquot experiencing any power loss so I kept an ear out and we kept riding
Our next stop was at the Cheddar Cheese Museum in Saint-Prime where a sweet young man took us on a tour
He showed us the old-fashioned way cheddar cheese was made and then we got to tour the museum portion of the factory 4 generations of the family Perron have made cheddar cheese here
The museum has over 650 artifacts that involve the familyrsquos history in cheese making including the stamps and other machinery used in exporting the cheese
The Cheddar Cheese Museum offers interactive displays and hosts several workshops on the art of making cheddar Upstairs you can view the family home of the Perronrsquos and see all of the period specific furnishings
Along with guided tours you can also sample the various types of cheddar cheese which we did and oh my I have never tasted cheddar that was so smooth and rich
After thanking our young guide for the fabulous tour we headed off
We stopped at Tim Hortonrsquos for a coffee and sitting out on the curb in front of my bike I could see the leak was getting worse I was very concerned and asked if there was a shop nearby where I could at least check the oil level in my primary
Rejean talked to one of the local riders Denis AKA Tarte au Sucre (Sweet Pie) and he took us to Carl Tremblayrsquos shop Carl is a mechanic that many here swear by His rates are far cheaper than the dealerships and every rider in the region says hersquos a guru He took the primary apart and sure
enough discovered that the compensating sprocket was dead and the stator was leaking With parts ordered and Rejeanrsquos wife going to the Harley shop to pick them up Francine Lynne Rejean and Denis rode me to my hotel the Motel Chutes des Pegraveres in Dolbeau-Mistassini My gear and luggage was distributed over three of the four bikes
By the time we got in it was dark and everyone had to head home I enjoyed a wonderful steak for supper and then headed off to my beautiful room and after a boiling hot pounding shower I climbed into the queen-sized bed and with the sound of the falls lulling me to sleep
And thatrsquos where I will leave you until next weekhellipBelt Drive Betty

1 - Yoursquoll Become a Better DriverTherersquos no doubt that riding a motorcycle has its
benefits especially when it comes to driving a car Riding a motorcycle teaches you to look out for people who are trying to kill you yoursquoll see hazards sooner and yoursquoll end up with Ninja-like machine control So when it comes to driving yoursquoll put all that to work and be a cut above the rest Hopefully
2 - Everyone Wants To Talk To YouIt really doesnrsquot matter what kind of motorcycle
you ride yoursquoll find middle-aged men stare at you and your bike with a dreamy lust before giving you an unwanted compliment Chances are theyrsquoll have no idea what the bike is either
Choose a classic or even worse a modern classic and yoursquoll become a magnet for old men who have the knack of being able to have a conversation with you without you needing to add any input Yoursquoll reach for your helmet on more than one occasion but not be able to put in on and leave because theyrsquoll ask you a question when you try Yoursquoll be subjected to questions about your
bike that you donrsquot know the answer to or even care about
The conversation will go something like this Is that a Triumph I had a Triumph once (followed by 10 minutes of ldquoback in my day rdquo)
3 - When You Say Yoursquore A Biker This Is The First Image That
Comes To Peoplehellip
5 Things They Never Told You About Becoming A Bikerby Robert Whaley NW Ontario Motorcycling
You could be a nice guy you could have something that resembles a career you could do the occasional BBQ it doesnrsquot matter When you mention to anyone at a party that yoursquove got a motorcycle a picture of this guy will pop into their head Then as you explain that you donrsquot ride a cruiser and yoursquove got a sportsbike theyrsquoll just think yoursquore speaking Greek and will reevaluate you as some sort of nut job who tries to kill himself on the highways Itrsquos a no-win
4 - Bees and Other Flying Things Will Start To Scare You
Anything flying will scare you When yoursquore sitting around at a family BBQ and everyone starts going mental the moment a bee or a wasp arrives on the scene you sit there perfectly calm and wonder what all the fuss is about
However - when yoursquore on a bike itrsquos a different story There you are riding along on a nice sunny day with your visor up enjoying the countryside and the winding road in front of you
Then you spot it 50 metres away a large insect looks like its stopped going about its daily business and itrsquos homing in at you instead Before you can do anything about it it goes THHHHHWAP right on your cheek Close but luckily it didnrsquot get you in the eye Then you panic the little bastardrsquos still in your helmet You insert a clumsy leather-clad finger and try and flick whatever it is away but probably end up pissing it off even further Then you crank on the brakes and perform the worldrsquos fastest lid removal followed by a little bit of a flappy-armed dance
5 - You Canrsquot Figure Out Who To Wave ToWhen you get a motorcycle you become part of a
club Itrsquos a club no biker really talks about but yoursquore in it now and yoursquore not allowed to leave Ever When you first pass your test yoursquoll wave at anyone and everyone If yoursquore heading down a road and a dog looks at you the right way yoursquoll probably wave at him too
Unfortunately this will change There are no set rules as to how it will change but yoursquoll end up developing your own code Me I wave at everyone dogs too and donrsquot give a second thought to the riders that donrsquot wave back But thatrsquos just me Yoursquoll have to work out your own code
Breaking is one of the most important things that you will learn to do on a motorcycle When we first learn to ride we are taught techniques to protect ourselves from crashing such as breaking shifting and countersteering But generally the most effective way to avoid an accident is through proper use of the brakes
The rear brake in particular is probably one of the least understood controls on a motorcycle Many riders donrsquot use the rear brake at all claiming that it doesnrsquot actually aid in slowing down or stopping the bike and say that it locks up the rear tire when trying to use it In fact most experts agree that a balanced use of both the front and rear brake is the most effective way of slowing or stopping a motorcycle
The rear brake also plays a huge role in adding stability to the bike when maneuvering
Because of the weight distribution on a motorcycle the braking balance of stopping power between the front and rear is 70 on the front and 30 on the rear This should tell you that if you donrsquot use the rear brake at all you are loosing 30 of the potential stopping power on your bike This could become a critical factor if you find yourself in trouble and have to try
and avoid an accident
Why does the rear brake lock up Well once again it has to do with weight distribution When you find yourself in a braking situation and start applying the brakes the geometry of the bike changes (due partly to the suspension) and much of the total weight (bike + rider) is transferred to the front This allows the rider to apply much more front brake than rear brake (the 7030 ratio)
Learning the finer points of your bikersquos braking performance is the key to keeping your bike in control It is a good idea to explore those limits in a safe environment
Practice repeated stops in an abandoned parking lot and yoursquoll start to get a feel for the amount of
effort that triggers tire slippage or rear tire lock-up
Try stopping with your front brake only then rear only and then a combination of both Once you become more familiar with your bikersquos brakes the sensations of weight transfer will start to feel more apparent and familiar That way yoursquoll be much more aware of the limits of your bike and yoursquoll be much better prepared in stopping

CAV To Hold AGM During ATLANTICADE (Summerside PE)
ndash The relationship started off by accident back in 2007 in
Moncton during the inaugural Atlanticade eventldquoI saw these guys who were hanging around
together with CAV crests on their vests and didnrsquot really know who they wererdquo says Dale Hicks festival founder and chairman Hicks began to connect the dots on the final day when the closing parade ended at the local veteranrsquos health care center and the CAV riders were very engaged with the vets ldquoSo I starting asking ndash who are these guys and what does CAV stand forrdquo
That was over seven years ago and now the relationship between Atlanticade and the Canadian Army Veterans is as strong a bond as you will find anywhere in the world of motorcycle events
ldquoOnce we became aware of who the CAV group was and what they represented I said well this group reflects the best of what it means to be Canadian so we certainly wanted to build a relationship with themrdquo recalls Hicks
Since then CAV has played a significant role in some form or fashion at each Atlanticade event The festival now has a
ldquoSupport the Troopsrdquo activity incorporated into the schedule each year where CAV plays a lead role In addition CAV will also be found leading parades such as the Confederation Bridge Cruise and the Parade of Iron Horses
In fact in 2011 Hicks was surprised and honored to be presented with an
honorary membership into the CAV organization at the closing awards breakfast at the Algonquin Hotel in St Andrews
ldquoYeah they caught me off guard with that and I certainly was humbled and honored by to be presented the crest by Trapperrdquo says Hicks ldquoI donrsquot feel worthy of wearing the crest but I do sport it proudly at certain times during Atlanticaderdquo
The unique bond between the two organizations continues for the upcoming 8th annual festival being held in Summerside PEI from June 27th to
Continued Next Page
(Atlanticade chairman Dale Hicks had just presented Trapper Cane with the annual ldquoExperienced Rider Awardrdquo
when Cane turned the tables by presenting Hicks with his honorary CAV membership during the 2011 event)
July 1st Recenty CAV founder Paul (Trapper) Cane announced the grouprsquos annual general meeting will take place in Summerside in conjunction with Atlanticade
ldquoAtlanticade brings great energy to all riders and our CAV members certainly appreciate the extra efforts put forth by Dalersquos team to give us some profile at the eventrdquo says Cane ldquoNo doubt it has been a great relationship between the two organizations and we hope it continues well into the futurerdquo
For his part Hicks says that Atlanticade is very proud to be able to host the CAV ndash AGM as part of the 2014 festival ldquoWe always have a good turnout of CAV members at our event but this will mean an additional boost in participants from across the country We hope we can make it a little special for them and something they will remember years down the roadrdquo

and take a step up Pretty soon everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted offAnd the moral ishellip Life is going to shovel dirt on you all kinds of dirt The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up Each of our troubles is a steppingstone We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping never giving up Shake it off and take a step up

After a magnificent breakfast I started loading up my bike and it wasnrsquot long before the gang arrived to come take me sightseeing
Our first stop of the day after topping up our tanks was at the look out of Lac Saint Jean
From here you truly get a sense of how immense this lake is
We took some time to admire the view and chat about the plans for the rest of the day
Our next stop was to be the Camp Musical a purely French speaking musical camp for students to come and immerse themselves in the culture of the region and the music that is their passion
The camp has numerous housing units and the most incredible concert hall The Raymond Tremblay concert hall has 320 seats 2 piano rooms a bistro terrace and exhibition hall The Egyptian goddess Hathor is symbolized here and she represents happiness joy and music
The acoustics even when you are just speaking
well stunning would be the word to describe the sound quality
Everything about this 40-year-old institute screams creativity We went up to the gazebo on the observation deck and took in the panorama Breathtakingly beautiful you can see why this region inspires music and lyrics
After our tour of the camp was done we headed out towards the Village Historique Val-Jalbert Canadarsquos BEST preserved Ghost Town I couldnrsquot wait
The ride from the Camp Musical to Val-Jalbert which is just northwest of Chambord took about 30 minutes It was a wee bit overcast but the temperature was perfect for riding
When we arrived at Val-Jalbert we headed into the gorgeous visitor information centre and were assigned a tour guide named Michelle Pelletier Michelle turned out to be an amazing tour guide
She spoke in both French and English easily and made all of us feel so welcome

Saturday May 31st 2014 830 am Rain date June 1st rain or shine
We got in an electric cart and began our tour with Michelle telling us about the history of this town and why it is such a significant tourism and historical attraction
You see this town was the dream of one man Damase Jalbert He was the founder of the Ouiatchouan Pulp Company that built a pulp mill
here The town he founded for his employees started out as Saint-Georges-de-Ouiatchouan named for the river and the falls that powered the mill The name was changed to Val-Jalbert in 1913 in honor of the man whose dream it was
Damase wanted to build the best company town and provide his employees with a rarified quality of living
He died suddenly three years after opening the mill The mill faced a cash shortage and was bought by American shareholders in 1904 In 1909 the Chicoutimi Pulp Company bought it
From 1909 to 1922 the village flourished and was the envy of many surrounding communities
The company town offered employees electricity and running water in their homes a good 25 years before anyone else in Quebec had power
In 1923 the demand for mechanical pulp began to fall and by 1924 most of the workers had been laid off
On August 13th 1927 all operations ceased and over the next few years the village became abandoned
In 1942 the government took the property back for non-payment of taxes and in 1970 Val-Jalbert had new life breathed into it as a tourist attraction In recent years the government of Quebec has spent 19+ million dollars to upgrade and improve the visitors information centre put in a glass observation deck and a whole host of other improvements
Val-Jalbert must have been the most amazing town in the region in its day because this place is utterly amazing today The Quebec government has spent a lot of money and time restoring this
place to preserve the history and they have done an incredible job
Our first stop on the tour was the convent school where we met ldquoMother Superiorrdquo who took us through the school and answered our questions She was stern but I think there was a glint of mischief in her eyes as she ldquodisciplinedrdquo us on proper etiquette
There was the most amazing art display in
one room and in another the historical timeline of the residents of Val-Jalbert to take in The antiques and furnishings truly made you feel you were stuck in a time warp
After touring the school we headed towards the post office The ldquopostmistressrdquo was this chatty little gal that had us peeing ourselves we were laughing so hard It was pretty cool to see the old stamps and the various bits of equipment of the day
We walked up the street to take a tour of the restored duplexes that line the main street You have to see these places to truly appreciate them Imagine 1910 and you can flip a switch and have lights turn a tap and have water flush a toilet and not have to walk to the outhouse
These company houses were so well built and the people who lived here were fiercely loyal to the company that treated them so well
From the duplexes we went to the general store where we ran into the ldquoMayorrdquo the only person in town to have a car The general store offers up everything a visitor could need plus acts as a museum with lots of interesting period pieces on display
Michelle had gotten keys to show us the duplexes that have been upgraded and make up the 4 star accommodations offered here
We walked across the street and were taken to view to the most amazing hotel rooms
Rustic and yet modern these rooms are spacious well appointed and every one of them has unique little shadow boxes filled with antiques
All of the modern appliances Internet boxes and TV are all hidden in closets so that they are not visible It makes for a very appealing deacutecor
Although the rooms appear to only have one bed in the matter of a few moments Michelle had the
couch taken apart and the bed folded down out of the wall for a second bed
The bathrooms are absolute marvels with big tubs and glass showers
The parking for the hotel rooms is hidden behind a row of trees so that there is no real visual of anything modern on the face of things
From the hotel rooms we got back in the electric cart and headed towards the ldquoruinsrdquo Although many of the duplexes have been restored Michelle explained to us that the style of construction for the company houses had been changed and that
the newer houses had collapsed on themselves Some of the buildings are slated for restoration but many are too far-gone The streets they line are preserved so that one can walk by the ruins and get a feel for how large this town really was and how well laid out it was
Our next stop was the Mill Impressive is a good word to describe this place We had our lunch in the Old Mill Restaurant The food served here complimented the
atmosphere ndash IMPECCABLEThe chef Carl Murray has a great reputation that
he totally lives up toThe service
the food the atmosphere and the company were all top drawer
After our fabulous meal it was time to head to the tram and go experience the waterfalls
The ride up to the top gives you the most magnificent view of the region The Ouiatchouan Falls are some 65 feet higher than the Niagara Falls
and the power of them is palpable The rushing water is almost deafening as you walk out on to the glass observation deck
From the falls we walked down to the mill again and took in the most impressive interactive show I have ever experienced In the underbelly of the once abandoned mill amongst all of the monster gearing and shafts the lights go dim you feel the mist in the air and all of a sudden the walls become alive with characters from the original town and they take you through the historical timeline of the village and its people
It is absolutely captivating you become totally involved in the lives and the hardship of the villagers
The show signaled the end of our tour and Michelle took us back to the visitor information centre and sent us all off with gifts of blueberry jam and blueberry tea to remember our visit by
My bike had been acting up off and on and I had been keeping an eye out on a leak coming from the front of the engine The noise from the shifter region was becoming louder but I wasnrsquot experiencing any power loss so I kept an ear out and we kept riding
Our next stop was at the Cheddar Cheese Museum in Saint-Prime where a sweet young man took us on a tour
He showed us the old-fashioned way cheddar cheese was made and then we got to tour the museum portion of the factory 4 generations of the family Perron have made cheddar cheese here
The museum has over 650 artifacts that involve the familyrsquos history in cheese making including the stamps and other machinery used in exporting the cheese
The Cheddar Cheese Museum offers interactive displays and hosts several workshops on the art of making cheddar Upstairs you can view the family home of the Perronrsquos and see all of the period specific furnishings
Along with guided tours you can also sample the various types of cheddar cheese which we did and oh my I have never tasted cheddar that was so smooth and rich
After thanking our young guide for the fabulous tour we headed off
We stopped at Tim Hortonrsquos for a coffee and sitting out on the curb in front of my bike I could see the leak was getting worse I was very concerned and asked if there was a shop nearby where I could at least check the oil level in my primary
Rejean talked to one of the local riders Denis AKA Tarte au Sucre (Sweet Pie) and he took us to Carl Tremblayrsquos shop Carl is a mechanic that many here swear by His rates are far cheaper than the dealerships and every rider in the region says hersquos a guru He took the primary apart and sure
enough discovered that the compensating sprocket was dead and the stator was leaking With parts ordered and Rejeanrsquos wife going to the Harley shop to pick them up Francine Lynne Rejean and Denis rode me to my hotel the Motel Chutes des Pegraveres in Dolbeau-Mistassini My gear and luggage was distributed over three of the four bikes
By the time we got in it was dark and everyone had to head home I enjoyed a wonderful steak for supper and then headed off to my beautiful room and after a boiling hot pounding shower I climbed into the queen-sized bed and with the sound of the falls lulling me to sleep
And thatrsquos where I will leave you until next weekhellipBelt Drive Betty

You could be a nice guy you could have something that resembles a career you could do the occasional BBQ it doesnrsquot matter When you mention to anyone at a party that yoursquove got a motorcycle a picture of this guy will pop into their head Then as you explain that you donrsquot ride a cruiser and yoursquove got a sportsbike theyrsquoll just think yoursquore speaking Greek and will reevaluate you as some sort of nut job who tries to kill himself on the highways Itrsquos a no-win
4 - Bees and Other Flying Things Will Start To Scare You
Anything flying will scare you When yoursquore sitting around at a family BBQ and everyone starts going mental the moment a bee or a wasp arrives on the scene you sit there perfectly calm and wonder what all the fuss is about
However - when yoursquore on a bike itrsquos a different story There you are riding along on a nice sunny day with your visor up enjoying the countryside and the winding road in front of you
Then you spot it 50 metres away a large insect looks like its stopped going about its daily business and itrsquos homing in at you instead Before you can do anything about it it goes THHHHHWAP right on your cheek Close but luckily it didnrsquot get you in the eye Then you panic the little bastardrsquos still in your helmet You insert a clumsy leather-clad finger and try and flick whatever it is away but probably end up pissing it off even further Then you crank on the brakes and perform the worldrsquos fastest lid removal followed by a little bit of a flappy-armed dance
5 - You Canrsquot Figure Out Who To Wave ToWhen you get a motorcycle you become part of a
club Itrsquos a club no biker really talks about but yoursquore in it now and yoursquore not allowed to leave Ever When you first pass your test yoursquoll wave at anyone and everyone If yoursquore heading down a road and a dog looks at you the right way yoursquoll probably wave at him too
Unfortunately this will change There are no set rules as to how it will change but yoursquoll end up developing your own code Me I wave at everyone dogs too and donrsquot give a second thought to the riders that donrsquot wave back But thatrsquos just me Yoursquoll have to work out your own code
Breaking is one of the most important things that you will learn to do on a motorcycle When we first learn to ride we are taught techniques to protect ourselves from crashing such as breaking shifting and countersteering But generally the most effective way to avoid an accident is through proper use of the brakes
The rear brake in particular is probably one of the least understood controls on a motorcycle Many riders donrsquot use the rear brake at all claiming that it doesnrsquot actually aid in slowing down or stopping the bike and say that it locks up the rear tire when trying to use it In fact most experts agree that a balanced use of both the front and rear brake is the most effective way of slowing or stopping a motorcycle
The rear brake also plays a huge role in adding stability to the bike when maneuvering
Because of the weight distribution on a motorcycle the braking balance of stopping power between the front and rear is 70 on the front and 30 on the rear This should tell you that if you donrsquot use the rear brake at all you are loosing 30 of the potential stopping power on your bike This could become a critical factor if you find yourself in trouble and have to try
and avoid an accident
Why does the rear brake lock up Well once again it has to do with weight distribution When you find yourself in a braking situation and start applying the brakes the geometry of the bike changes (due partly to the suspension) and much of the total weight (bike + rider) is transferred to the front This allows the rider to apply much more front brake than rear brake (the 7030 ratio)
Learning the finer points of your bikersquos braking performance is the key to keeping your bike in control It is a good idea to explore those limits in a safe environment
Practice repeated stops in an abandoned parking lot and yoursquoll start to get a feel for the amount of
effort that triggers tire slippage or rear tire lock-up
Try stopping with your front brake only then rear only and then a combination of both Once you become more familiar with your bikersquos brakes the sensations of weight transfer will start to feel more apparent and familiar That way yoursquoll be much more aware of the limits of your bike and yoursquoll be much better prepared in stopping

CAV To Hold AGM During ATLANTICADE (Summerside PE)
ndash The relationship started off by accident back in 2007 in
Moncton during the inaugural Atlanticade eventldquoI saw these guys who were hanging around
together with CAV crests on their vests and didnrsquot really know who they wererdquo says Dale Hicks festival founder and chairman Hicks began to connect the dots on the final day when the closing parade ended at the local veteranrsquos health care center and the CAV riders were very engaged with the vets ldquoSo I starting asking ndash who are these guys and what does CAV stand forrdquo
That was over seven years ago and now the relationship between Atlanticade and the Canadian Army Veterans is as strong a bond as you will find anywhere in the world of motorcycle events
ldquoOnce we became aware of who the CAV group was and what they represented I said well this group reflects the best of what it means to be Canadian so we certainly wanted to build a relationship with themrdquo recalls Hicks
Since then CAV has played a significant role in some form or fashion at each Atlanticade event The festival now has a
ldquoSupport the Troopsrdquo activity incorporated into the schedule each year where CAV plays a lead role In addition CAV will also be found leading parades such as the Confederation Bridge Cruise and the Parade of Iron Horses
In fact in 2011 Hicks was surprised and honored to be presented with an
honorary membership into the CAV organization at the closing awards breakfast at the Algonquin Hotel in St Andrews
ldquoYeah they caught me off guard with that and I certainly was humbled and honored by to be presented the crest by Trapperrdquo says Hicks ldquoI donrsquot feel worthy of wearing the crest but I do sport it proudly at certain times during Atlanticaderdquo
The unique bond between the two organizations continues for the upcoming 8th annual festival being held in Summerside PEI from June 27th to
Continued Next Page
(Atlanticade chairman Dale Hicks had just presented Trapper Cane with the annual ldquoExperienced Rider Awardrdquo
when Cane turned the tables by presenting Hicks with his honorary CAV membership during the 2011 event)
July 1st Recenty CAV founder Paul (Trapper) Cane announced the grouprsquos annual general meeting will take place in Summerside in conjunction with Atlanticade
ldquoAtlanticade brings great energy to all riders and our CAV members certainly appreciate the extra efforts put forth by Dalersquos team to give us some profile at the eventrdquo says Cane ldquoNo doubt it has been a great relationship between the two organizations and we hope it continues well into the futurerdquo
For his part Hicks says that Atlanticade is very proud to be able to host the CAV ndash AGM as part of the 2014 festival ldquoWe always have a good turnout of CAV members at our event but this will mean an additional boost in participants from across the country We hope we can make it a little special for them and something they will remember years down the roadrdquo

and take a step up Pretty soon everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted offAnd the moral ishellip Life is going to shovel dirt on you all kinds of dirt The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up Each of our troubles is a steppingstone We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping never giving up Shake it off and take a step up

After a magnificent breakfast I started loading up my bike and it wasnrsquot long before the gang arrived to come take me sightseeing
Our first stop of the day after topping up our tanks was at the look out of Lac Saint Jean
From here you truly get a sense of how immense this lake is
We took some time to admire the view and chat about the plans for the rest of the day
Our next stop was to be the Camp Musical a purely French speaking musical camp for students to come and immerse themselves in the culture of the region and the music that is their passion
The camp has numerous housing units and the most incredible concert hall The Raymond Tremblay concert hall has 320 seats 2 piano rooms a bistro terrace and exhibition hall The Egyptian goddess Hathor is symbolized here and she represents happiness joy and music
The acoustics even when you are just speaking
well stunning would be the word to describe the sound quality
Everything about this 40-year-old institute screams creativity We went up to the gazebo on the observation deck and took in the panorama Breathtakingly beautiful you can see why this region inspires music and lyrics
After our tour of the camp was done we headed out towards the Village Historique Val-Jalbert Canadarsquos BEST preserved Ghost Town I couldnrsquot wait
The ride from the Camp Musical to Val-Jalbert which is just northwest of Chambord took about 30 minutes It was a wee bit overcast but the temperature was perfect for riding
When we arrived at Val-Jalbert we headed into the gorgeous visitor information centre and were assigned a tour guide named Michelle Pelletier Michelle turned out to be an amazing tour guide
She spoke in both French and English easily and made all of us feel so welcome

Saturday May 31st 2014 830 am Rain date June 1st rain or shine
We got in an electric cart and began our tour with Michelle telling us about the history of this town and why it is such a significant tourism and historical attraction
You see this town was the dream of one man Damase Jalbert He was the founder of the Ouiatchouan Pulp Company that built a pulp mill
here The town he founded for his employees started out as Saint-Georges-de-Ouiatchouan named for the river and the falls that powered the mill The name was changed to Val-Jalbert in 1913 in honor of the man whose dream it was
Damase wanted to build the best company town and provide his employees with a rarified quality of living
He died suddenly three years after opening the mill The mill faced a cash shortage and was bought by American shareholders in 1904 In 1909 the Chicoutimi Pulp Company bought it
From 1909 to 1922 the village flourished and was the envy of many surrounding communities
The company town offered employees electricity and running water in their homes a good 25 years before anyone else in Quebec had power
In 1923 the demand for mechanical pulp began to fall and by 1924 most of the workers had been laid off
On August 13th 1927 all operations ceased and over the next few years the village became abandoned
In 1942 the government took the property back for non-payment of taxes and in 1970 Val-Jalbert had new life breathed into it as a tourist attraction In recent years the government of Quebec has spent 19+ million dollars to upgrade and improve the visitors information centre put in a glass observation deck and a whole host of other improvements
Val-Jalbert must have been the most amazing town in the region in its day because this place is utterly amazing today The Quebec government has spent a lot of money and time restoring this
place to preserve the history and they have done an incredible job
Our first stop on the tour was the convent school where we met ldquoMother Superiorrdquo who took us through the school and answered our questions She was stern but I think there was a glint of mischief in her eyes as she ldquodisciplinedrdquo us on proper etiquette
There was the most amazing art display in
one room and in another the historical timeline of the residents of Val-Jalbert to take in The antiques and furnishings truly made you feel you were stuck in a time warp
After touring the school we headed towards the post office The ldquopostmistressrdquo was this chatty little gal that had us peeing ourselves we were laughing so hard It was pretty cool to see the old stamps and the various bits of equipment of the day
We walked up the street to take a tour of the restored duplexes that line the main street You have to see these places to truly appreciate them Imagine 1910 and you can flip a switch and have lights turn a tap and have water flush a toilet and not have to walk to the outhouse
These company houses were so well built and the people who lived here were fiercely loyal to the company that treated them so well
From the duplexes we went to the general store where we ran into the ldquoMayorrdquo the only person in town to have a car The general store offers up everything a visitor could need plus acts as a museum with lots of interesting period pieces on display
Michelle had gotten keys to show us the duplexes that have been upgraded and make up the 4 star accommodations offered here
We walked across the street and were taken to view to the most amazing hotel rooms
Rustic and yet modern these rooms are spacious well appointed and every one of them has unique little shadow boxes filled with antiques
All of the modern appliances Internet boxes and TV are all hidden in closets so that they are not visible It makes for a very appealing deacutecor
Although the rooms appear to only have one bed in the matter of a few moments Michelle had the
couch taken apart and the bed folded down out of the wall for a second bed
The bathrooms are absolute marvels with big tubs and glass showers
The parking for the hotel rooms is hidden behind a row of trees so that there is no real visual of anything modern on the face of things
From the hotel rooms we got back in the electric cart and headed towards the ldquoruinsrdquo Although many of the duplexes have been restored Michelle explained to us that the style of construction for the company houses had been changed and that
the newer houses had collapsed on themselves Some of the buildings are slated for restoration but many are too far-gone The streets they line are preserved so that one can walk by the ruins and get a feel for how large this town really was and how well laid out it was
Our next stop was the Mill Impressive is a good word to describe this place We had our lunch in the Old Mill Restaurant The food served here complimented the
atmosphere ndash IMPECCABLEThe chef Carl Murray has a great reputation that
he totally lives up toThe service
the food the atmosphere and the company were all top drawer
After our fabulous meal it was time to head to the tram and go experience the waterfalls
The ride up to the top gives you the most magnificent view of the region The Ouiatchouan Falls are some 65 feet higher than the Niagara Falls
and the power of them is palpable The rushing water is almost deafening as you walk out on to the glass observation deck
From the falls we walked down to the mill again and took in the most impressive interactive show I have ever experienced In the underbelly of the once abandoned mill amongst all of the monster gearing and shafts the lights go dim you feel the mist in the air and all of a sudden the walls become alive with characters from the original town and they take you through the historical timeline of the village and its people
It is absolutely captivating you become totally involved in the lives and the hardship of the villagers
The show signaled the end of our tour and Michelle took us back to the visitor information centre and sent us all off with gifts of blueberry jam and blueberry tea to remember our visit by
My bike had been acting up off and on and I had been keeping an eye out on a leak coming from the front of the engine The noise from the shifter region was becoming louder but I wasnrsquot experiencing any power loss so I kept an ear out and we kept riding
Our next stop was at the Cheddar Cheese Museum in Saint-Prime where a sweet young man took us on a tour
He showed us the old-fashioned way cheddar cheese was made and then we got to tour the museum portion of the factory 4 generations of the family Perron have made cheddar cheese here
The museum has over 650 artifacts that involve the familyrsquos history in cheese making including the stamps and other machinery used in exporting the cheese
The Cheddar Cheese Museum offers interactive displays and hosts several workshops on the art of making cheddar Upstairs you can view the family home of the Perronrsquos and see all of the period specific furnishings
Along with guided tours you can also sample the various types of cheddar cheese which we did and oh my I have never tasted cheddar that was so smooth and rich
After thanking our young guide for the fabulous tour we headed off
We stopped at Tim Hortonrsquos for a coffee and sitting out on the curb in front of my bike I could see the leak was getting worse I was very concerned and asked if there was a shop nearby where I could at least check the oil level in my primary
Rejean talked to one of the local riders Denis AKA Tarte au Sucre (Sweet Pie) and he took us to Carl Tremblayrsquos shop Carl is a mechanic that many here swear by His rates are far cheaper than the dealerships and every rider in the region says hersquos a guru He took the primary apart and sure
enough discovered that the compensating sprocket was dead and the stator was leaking With parts ordered and Rejeanrsquos wife going to the Harley shop to pick them up Francine Lynne Rejean and Denis rode me to my hotel the Motel Chutes des Pegraveres in Dolbeau-Mistassini My gear and luggage was distributed over three of the four bikes
By the time we got in it was dark and everyone had to head home I enjoyed a wonderful steak for supper and then headed off to my beautiful room and after a boiling hot pounding shower I climbed into the queen-sized bed and with the sound of the falls lulling me to sleep
And thatrsquos where I will leave you until next weekhellipBelt Drive Betty

1 - Yoursquoll Become a Better DriverTherersquos no doubt that riding a motorcycle has its
benefits especially when it comes to driving a car Riding a motorcycle teaches you to look out for people who are trying to kill you yoursquoll see hazards sooner and yoursquoll end up with Ninja-like machine control So when it comes to driving yoursquoll put all that to work and be a cut above the rest Hopefully
2 - Everyone Wants To Talk To YouIt really doesnrsquot matter what kind of motorcycle
you ride yoursquoll find middle-aged men stare at you and your bike with a dreamy lust before giving you an unwanted compliment Chances are theyrsquoll have no idea what the bike is either
Choose a classic or even worse a modern classic and yoursquoll become a magnet for old men who have the knack of being able to have a conversation with you without you needing to add any input Yoursquoll reach for your helmet on more than one occasion but not be able to put in on and leave because theyrsquoll ask you a question when you try Yoursquoll be subjected to questions about your
bike that you donrsquot know the answer to or even care about
The conversation will go something like this Is that a Triumph I had a Triumph once (followed by 10 minutes of ldquoback in my day rdquo)
3 - When You Say Yoursquore A Biker This Is The First Image That
Comes To Peoplehellip
5 Things They Never Told You About Becoming A Bikerby Robert Whaley NW Ontario Motorcycling
You could be a nice guy you could have something that resembles a career you could do the occasional BBQ it doesnrsquot matter When you mention to anyone at a party that yoursquove got a motorcycle a picture of this guy will pop into their head Then as you explain that you donrsquot ride a cruiser and yoursquove got a sportsbike theyrsquoll just think yoursquore speaking Greek and will reevaluate you as some sort of nut job who tries to kill himself on the highways Itrsquos a no-win
4 - Bees and Other Flying Things Will Start To Scare You
Anything flying will scare you When yoursquore sitting around at a family BBQ and everyone starts going mental the moment a bee or a wasp arrives on the scene you sit there perfectly calm and wonder what all the fuss is about
However - when yoursquore on a bike itrsquos a different story There you are riding along on a nice sunny day with your visor up enjoying the countryside and the winding road in front of you
Then you spot it 50 metres away a large insect looks like its stopped going about its daily business and itrsquos homing in at you instead Before you can do anything about it it goes THHHHHWAP right on your cheek Close but luckily it didnrsquot get you in the eye Then you panic the little bastardrsquos still in your helmet You insert a clumsy leather-clad finger and try and flick whatever it is away but probably end up pissing it off even further Then you crank on the brakes and perform the worldrsquos fastest lid removal followed by a little bit of a flappy-armed dance
5 - You Canrsquot Figure Out Who To Wave ToWhen you get a motorcycle you become part of a
club Itrsquos a club no biker really talks about but yoursquore in it now and yoursquore not allowed to leave Ever When you first pass your test yoursquoll wave at anyone and everyone If yoursquore heading down a road and a dog looks at you the right way yoursquoll probably wave at him too
Unfortunately this will change There are no set rules as to how it will change but yoursquoll end up developing your own code Me I wave at everyone dogs too and donrsquot give a second thought to the riders that donrsquot wave back But thatrsquos just me Yoursquoll have to work out your own code
Breaking is one of the most important things that you will learn to do on a motorcycle When we first learn to ride we are taught techniques to protect ourselves from crashing such as breaking shifting and countersteering But generally the most effective way to avoid an accident is through proper use of the brakes
The rear brake in particular is probably one of the least understood controls on a motorcycle Many riders donrsquot use the rear brake at all claiming that it doesnrsquot actually aid in slowing down or stopping the bike and say that it locks up the rear tire when trying to use it In fact most experts agree that a balanced use of both the front and rear brake is the most effective way of slowing or stopping a motorcycle
The rear brake also plays a huge role in adding stability to the bike when maneuvering
Because of the weight distribution on a motorcycle the braking balance of stopping power between the front and rear is 70 on the front and 30 on the rear This should tell you that if you donrsquot use the rear brake at all you are loosing 30 of the potential stopping power on your bike This could become a critical factor if you find yourself in trouble and have to try
and avoid an accident
Why does the rear brake lock up Well once again it has to do with weight distribution When you find yourself in a braking situation and start applying the brakes the geometry of the bike changes (due partly to the suspension) and much of the total weight (bike + rider) is transferred to the front This allows the rider to apply much more front brake than rear brake (the 7030 ratio)
Learning the finer points of your bikersquos braking performance is the key to keeping your bike in control It is a good idea to explore those limits in a safe environment
Practice repeated stops in an abandoned parking lot and yoursquoll start to get a feel for the amount of
effort that triggers tire slippage or rear tire lock-up
Try stopping with your front brake only then rear only and then a combination of both Once you become more familiar with your bikersquos brakes the sensations of weight transfer will start to feel more apparent and familiar That way yoursquoll be much more aware of the limits of your bike and yoursquoll be much better prepared in stopping

CAV To Hold AGM During ATLANTICADE (Summerside PE)
ndash The relationship started off by accident back in 2007 in
Moncton during the inaugural Atlanticade eventldquoI saw these guys who were hanging around
together with CAV crests on their vests and didnrsquot really know who they wererdquo says Dale Hicks festival founder and chairman Hicks began to connect the dots on the final day when the closing parade ended at the local veteranrsquos health care center and the CAV riders were very engaged with the vets ldquoSo I starting asking ndash who are these guys and what does CAV stand forrdquo
That was over seven years ago and now the relationship between Atlanticade and the Canadian Army Veterans is as strong a bond as you will find anywhere in the world of motorcycle events
ldquoOnce we became aware of who the CAV group was and what they represented I said well this group reflects the best of what it means to be Canadian so we certainly wanted to build a relationship with themrdquo recalls Hicks
Since then CAV has played a significant role in some form or fashion at each Atlanticade event The festival now has a
ldquoSupport the Troopsrdquo activity incorporated into the schedule each year where CAV plays a lead role In addition CAV will also be found leading parades such as the Confederation Bridge Cruise and the Parade of Iron Horses
In fact in 2011 Hicks was surprised and honored to be presented with an
honorary membership into the CAV organization at the closing awards breakfast at the Algonquin Hotel in St Andrews
ldquoYeah they caught me off guard with that and I certainly was humbled and honored by to be presented the crest by Trapperrdquo says Hicks ldquoI donrsquot feel worthy of wearing the crest but I do sport it proudly at certain times during Atlanticaderdquo
The unique bond between the two organizations continues for the upcoming 8th annual festival being held in Summerside PEI from June 27th to
Continued Next Page
(Atlanticade chairman Dale Hicks had just presented Trapper Cane with the annual ldquoExperienced Rider Awardrdquo
when Cane turned the tables by presenting Hicks with his honorary CAV membership during the 2011 event)
July 1st Recenty CAV founder Paul (Trapper) Cane announced the grouprsquos annual general meeting will take place in Summerside in conjunction with Atlanticade
ldquoAtlanticade brings great energy to all riders and our CAV members certainly appreciate the extra efforts put forth by Dalersquos team to give us some profile at the eventrdquo says Cane ldquoNo doubt it has been a great relationship between the two organizations and we hope it continues well into the futurerdquo
For his part Hicks says that Atlanticade is very proud to be able to host the CAV ndash AGM as part of the 2014 festival ldquoWe always have a good turnout of CAV members at our event but this will mean an additional boost in participants from across the country We hope we can make it a little special for them and something they will remember years down the roadrdquo

After a magnificent breakfast I started loading up my bike and it wasnrsquot long before the gang arrived to come take me sightseeing
Our first stop of the day after topping up our tanks was at the look out of Lac Saint Jean
From here you truly get a sense of how immense this lake is
We took some time to admire the view and chat about the plans for the rest of the day
Our next stop was to be the Camp Musical a purely French speaking musical camp for students to come and immerse themselves in the culture of the region and the music that is their passion
The camp has numerous housing units and the most incredible concert hall The Raymond Tremblay concert hall has 320 seats 2 piano rooms a bistro terrace and exhibition hall The Egyptian goddess Hathor is symbolized here and she represents happiness joy and music
The acoustics even when you are just speaking
well stunning would be the word to describe the sound quality
Everything about this 40-year-old institute screams creativity We went up to the gazebo on the observation deck and took in the panorama Breathtakingly beautiful you can see why this region inspires music and lyrics
After our tour of the camp was done we headed out towards the Village Historique Val-Jalbert Canadarsquos BEST preserved Ghost Town I couldnrsquot wait
The ride from the Camp Musical to Val-Jalbert which is just northwest of Chambord took about 30 minutes It was a wee bit overcast but the temperature was perfect for riding
When we arrived at Val-Jalbert we headed into the gorgeous visitor information centre and were assigned a tour guide named Michelle Pelletier Michelle turned out to be an amazing tour guide
She spoke in both French and English easily and made all of us feel so welcome

Saturday May 31st 2014 830 am Rain date June 1st rain or shine
We got in an electric cart and began our tour with Michelle telling us about the history of this town and why it is such a significant tourism and historical attraction
You see this town was the dream of one man Damase Jalbert He was the founder of the Ouiatchouan Pulp Company that built a pulp mill
here The town he founded for his employees started out as Saint-Georges-de-Ouiatchouan named for the river and the falls that powered the mill The name was changed to Val-Jalbert in 1913 in honor of the man whose dream it was
Damase wanted to build the best company town and provide his employees with a rarified quality of living
He died suddenly three years after opening the mill The mill faced a cash shortage and was bought by American shareholders in 1904 In 1909 the Chicoutimi Pulp Company bought it
From 1909 to 1922 the village flourished and was the envy of many surrounding communities
The company town offered employees electricity and running water in their homes a good 25 years before anyone else in Quebec had power
In 1923 the demand for mechanical pulp began to fall and by 1924 most of the workers had been laid off
On August 13th 1927 all operations ceased and over the next few years the village became abandoned
In 1942 the government took the property back for non-payment of taxes and in 1970 Val-Jalbert had new life breathed into it as a tourist attraction In recent years the government of Quebec has spent 19+ million dollars to upgrade and improve the visitors information centre put in a glass observation deck and a whole host of other improvements
Val-Jalbert must have been the most amazing town in the region in its day because this place is utterly amazing today The Quebec government has spent a lot of money and time restoring this
place to preserve the history and they have done an incredible job
Our first stop on the tour was the convent school where we met ldquoMother Superiorrdquo who took us through the school and answered our questions She was stern but I think there was a glint of mischief in her eyes as she ldquodisciplinedrdquo us on proper etiquette
There was the most amazing art display in
one room and in another the historical timeline of the residents of Val-Jalbert to take in The antiques and furnishings truly made you feel you were stuck in a time warp
After touring the school we headed towards the post office The ldquopostmistressrdquo was this chatty little gal that had us peeing ourselves we were laughing so hard It was pretty cool to see the old stamps and the various bits of equipment of the day
We walked up the street to take a tour of the restored duplexes that line the main street You have to see these places to truly appreciate them Imagine 1910 and you can flip a switch and have lights turn a tap and have water flush a toilet and not have to walk to the outhouse
These company houses were so well built and the people who lived here were fiercely loyal to the company that treated them so well
From the duplexes we went to the general store where we ran into the ldquoMayorrdquo the only person in town to have a car The general store offers up everything a visitor could need plus acts as a museum with lots of interesting period pieces on display
Michelle had gotten keys to show us the duplexes that have been upgraded and make up the 4 star accommodations offered here
We walked across the street and were taken to view to the most amazing hotel rooms
Rustic and yet modern these rooms are spacious well appointed and every one of them has unique little shadow boxes filled with antiques
All of the modern appliances Internet boxes and TV are all hidden in closets so that they are not visible It makes for a very appealing deacutecor
Although the rooms appear to only have one bed in the matter of a few moments Michelle had the
couch taken apart and the bed folded down out of the wall for a second bed
The bathrooms are absolute marvels with big tubs and glass showers
The parking for the hotel rooms is hidden behind a row of trees so that there is no real visual of anything modern on the face of things
From the hotel rooms we got back in the electric cart and headed towards the ldquoruinsrdquo Although many of the duplexes have been restored Michelle explained to us that the style of construction for the company houses had been changed and that
the newer houses had collapsed on themselves Some of the buildings are slated for restoration but many are too far-gone The streets they line are preserved so that one can walk by the ruins and get a feel for how large this town really was and how well laid out it was
Our next stop was the Mill Impressive is a good word to describe this place We had our lunch in the Old Mill Restaurant The food served here complimented the
atmosphere ndash IMPECCABLEThe chef Carl Murray has a great reputation that
he totally lives up toThe service
the food the atmosphere and the company were all top drawer
After our fabulous meal it was time to head to the tram and go experience the waterfalls
The ride up to the top gives you the most magnificent view of the region The Ouiatchouan Falls are some 65 feet higher than the Niagara Falls
and the power of them is palpable The rushing water is almost deafening as you walk out on to the glass observation deck
From the falls we walked down to the mill again and took in the most impressive interactive show I have ever experienced In the underbelly of the once abandoned mill amongst all of the monster gearing and shafts the lights go dim you feel the mist in the air and all of a sudden the walls become alive with characters from the original town and they take you through the historical timeline of the village and its people
It is absolutely captivating you become totally involved in the lives and the hardship of the villagers
The show signaled the end of our tour and Michelle took us back to the visitor information centre and sent us all off with gifts of blueberry jam and blueberry tea to remember our visit by
My bike had been acting up off and on and I had been keeping an eye out on a leak coming from the front of the engine The noise from the shifter region was becoming louder but I wasnrsquot experiencing any power loss so I kept an ear out and we kept riding
Our next stop was at the Cheddar Cheese Museum in Saint-Prime where a sweet young man took us on a tour
He showed us the old-fashioned way cheddar cheese was made and then we got to tour the museum portion of the factory 4 generations of the family Perron have made cheddar cheese here
The museum has over 650 artifacts that involve the familyrsquos history in cheese making including the stamps and other machinery used in exporting the cheese
The Cheddar Cheese Museum offers interactive displays and hosts several workshops on the art of making cheddar Upstairs you can view the family home of the Perronrsquos and see all of the period specific furnishings
Along with guided tours you can also sample the various types of cheddar cheese which we did and oh my I have never tasted cheddar that was so smooth and rich
After thanking our young guide for the fabulous tour we headed off
We stopped at Tim Hortonrsquos for a coffee and sitting out on the curb in front of my bike I could see the leak was getting worse I was very concerned and asked if there was a shop nearby where I could at least check the oil level in my primary
Rejean talked to one of the local riders Denis AKA Tarte au Sucre (Sweet Pie) and he took us to Carl Tremblayrsquos shop Carl is a mechanic that many here swear by His rates are far cheaper than the dealerships and every rider in the region says hersquos a guru He took the primary apart and sure
enough discovered that the compensating sprocket was dead and the stator was leaking With parts ordered and Rejeanrsquos wife going to the Harley shop to pick them up Francine Lynne Rejean and Denis rode me to my hotel the Motel Chutes des Pegraveres in Dolbeau-Mistassini My gear and luggage was distributed over three of the four bikes
By the time we got in it was dark and everyone had to head home I enjoyed a wonderful steak for supper and then headed off to my beautiful room and after a boiling hot pounding shower I climbed into the queen-sized bed and with the sound of the falls lulling me to sleep
And thatrsquos where I will leave you until next weekhellipBelt Drive Betty

1 - Yoursquoll Become a Better DriverTherersquos no doubt that riding a motorcycle has its
benefits especially when it comes to driving a car Riding a motorcycle teaches you to look out for people who are trying to kill you yoursquoll see hazards sooner and yoursquoll end up with Ninja-like machine control So when it comes to driving yoursquoll put all that to work and be a cut above the rest Hopefully
2 - Everyone Wants To Talk To YouIt really doesnrsquot matter what kind of motorcycle
you ride yoursquoll find middle-aged men stare at you and your bike with a dreamy lust before giving you an unwanted compliment Chances are theyrsquoll have no idea what the bike is either
Choose a classic or even worse a modern classic and yoursquoll become a magnet for old men who have the knack of being able to have a conversation with you without you needing to add any input Yoursquoll reach for your helmet on more than one occasion but not be able to put in on and leave because theyrsquoll ask you a question when you try Yoursquoll be subjected to questions about your
bike that you donrsquot know the answer to or even care about
The conversation will go something like this Is that a Triumph I had a Triumph once (followed by 10 minutes of ldquoback in my day rdquo)
3 - When You Say Yoursquore A Biker This Is The First Image That
Comes To Peoplehellip
5 Things They Never Told You About Becoming A Bikerby Robert Whaley NW Ontario Motorcycling
You could be a nice guy you could have something that resembles a career you could do the occasional BBQ it doesnrsquot matter When you mention to anyone at a party that yoursquove got a motorcycle a picture of this guy will pop into their head Then as you explain that you donrsquot ride a cruiser and yoursquove got a sportsbike theyrsquoll just think yoursquore speaking Greek and will reevaluate you as some sort of nut job who tries to kill himself on the highways Itrsquos a no-win
4 - Bees and Other Flying Things Will Start To Scare You
Anything flying will scare you When yoursquore sitting around at a family BBQ and everyone starts going mental the moment a bee or a wasp arrives on the scene you sit there perfectly calm and wonder what all the fuss is about
However - when yoursquore on a bike itrsquos a different story There you are riding along on a nice sunny day with your visor up enjoying the countryside and the winding road in front of you
Then you spot it 50 metres away a large insect looks like its stopped going about its daily business and itrsquos homing in at you instead Before you can do anything about it it goes THHHHHWAP right on your cheek Close but luckily it didnrsquot get you in the eye Then you panic the little bastardrsquos still in your helmet You insert a clumsy leather-clad finger and try and flick whatever it is away but probably end up pissing it off even further Then you crank on the brakes and perform the worldrsquos fastest lid removal followed by a little bit of a flappy-armed dance
5 - You Canrsquot Figure Out Who To Wave ToWhen you get a motorcycle you become part of a
club Itrsquos a club no biker really talks about but yoursquore in it now and yoursquore not allowed to leave Ever When you first pass your test yoursquoll wave at anyone and everyone If yoursquore heading down a road and a dog looks at you the right way yoursquoll probably wave at him too
Unfortunately this will change There are no set rules as to how it will change but yoursquoll end up developing your own code Me I wave at everyone dogs too and donrsquot give a second thought to the riders that donrsquot wave back But thatrsquos just me Yoursquoll have to work out your own code
Breaking is one of the most important things that you will learn to do on a motorcycle When we first learn to ride we are taught techniques to protect ourselves from crashing such as breaking shifting and countersteering But generally the most effective way to avoid an accident is through proper use of the brakes
The rear brake in particular is probably one of the least understood controls on a motorcycle Many riders donrsquot use the rear brake at all claiming that it doesnrsquot actually aid in slowing down or stopping the bike and say that it locks up the rear tire when trying to use it In fact most experts agree that a balanced use of both the front and rear brake is the most effective way of slowing or stopping a motorcycle
The rear brake also plays a huge role in adding stability to the bike when maneuvering
Because of the weight distribution on a motorcycle the braking balance of stopping power between the front and rear is 70 on the front and 30 on the rear This should tell you that if you donrsquot use the rear brake at all you are loosing 30 of the potential stopping power on your bike This could become a critical factor if you find yourself in trouble and have to try
and avoid an accident
Why does the rear brake lock up Well once again it has to do with weight distribution When you find yourself in a braking situation and start applying the brakes the geometry of the bike changes (due partly to the suspension) and much of the total weight (bike + rider) is transferred to the front This allows the rider to apply much more front brake than rear brake (the 7030 ratio)
Learning the finer points of your bikersquos braking performance is the key to keeping your bike in control It is a good idea to explore those limits in a safe environment
Practice repeated stops in an abandoned parking lot and yoursquoll start to get a feel for the amount of
effort that triggers tire slippage or rear tire lock-up
Try stopping with your front brake only then rear only and then a combination of both Once you become more familiar with your bikersquos brakes the sensations of weight transfer will start to feel more apparent and familiar That way yoursquoll be much more aware of the limits of your bike and yoursquoll be much better prepared in stopping

CAV To Hold AGM During ATLANTICADE (Summerside PE)
ndash The relationship started off by accident back in 2007 in
Moncton during the inaugural Atlanticade eventldquoI saw these guys who were hanging around
together with CAV crests on their vests and didnrsquot really know who they wererdquo says Dale Hicks festival founder and chairman Hicks began to connect the dots on the final day when the closing parade ended at the local veteranrsquos health care center and the CAV riders were very engaged with the vets ldquoSo I starting asking ndash who are these guys and what does CAV stand forrdquo
That was over seven years ago and now the relationship between Atlanticade and the Canadian Army Veterans is as strong a bond as you will find anywhere in the world of motorcycle events
ldquoOnce we became aware of who the CAV group was and what they represented I said well this group reflects the best of what it means to be Canadian so we certainly wanted to build a relationship with themrdquo recalls Hicks
Since then CAV has played a significant role in some form or fashion at each Atlanticade event The festival now has a
ldquoSupport the Troopsrdquo activity incorporated into the schedule each year where CAV plays a lead role In addition CAV will also be found leading parades such as the Confederation Bridge Cruise and the Parade of Iron Horses
In fact in 2011 Hicks was surprised and honored to be presented with an
honorary membership into the CAV organization at the closing awards breakfast at the Algonquin Hotel in St Andrews
ldquoYeah they caught me off guard with that and I certainly was humbled and honored by to be presented the crest by Trapperrdquo says Hicks ldquoI donrsquot feel worthy of wearing the crest but I do sport it proudly at certain times during Atlanticaderdquo
The unique bond between the two organizations continues for the upcoming 8th annual festival being held in Summerside PEI from June 27th to
Continued Next Page
(Atlanticade chairman Dale Hicks had just presented Trapper Cane with the annual ldquoExperienced Rider Awardrdquo
when Cane turned the tables by presenting Hicks with his honorary CAV membership during the 2011 event)
July 1st Recenty CAV founder Paul (Trapper) Cane announced the grouprsquos annual general meeting will take place in Summerside in conjunction with Atlanticade
ldquoAtlanticade brings great energy to all riders and our CAV members certainly appreciate the extra efforts put forth by Dalersquos team to give us some profile at the eventrdquo says Cane ldquoNo doubt it has been a great relationship between the two organizations and we hope it continues well into the futurerdquo
For his part Hicks says that Atlanticade is very proud to be able to host the CAV ndash AGM as part of the 2014 festival ldquoWe always have a good turnout of CAV members at our event but this will mean an additional boost in participants from across the country We hope we can make it a little special for them and something they will remember years down the roadrdquo

After a magnificent breakfast I started loading up my bike and it wasnrsquot long before the gang arrived to come take me sightseeing
Our first stop of the day after topping up our tanks was at the look out of Lac Saint Jean
From here you truly get a sense of how immense this lake is
We took some time to admire the view and chat about the plans for the rest of the day
Our next stop was to be the Camp Musical a purely French speaking musical camp for students to come and immerse themselves in the culture of the region and the music that is their passion
The camp has numerous housing units and the most incredible concert hall The Raymond Tremblay concert hall has 320 seats 2 piano rooms a bistro terrace and exhibition hall The Egyptian goddess Hathor is symbolized here and she represents happiness joy and music
The acoustics even when you are just speaking
well stunning would be the word to describe the sound quality
Everything about this 40-year-old institute screams creativity We went up to the gazebo on the observation deck and took in the panorama Breathtakingly beautiful you can see why this region inspires music and lyrics
After our tour of the camp was done we headed out towards the Village Historique Val-Jalbert Canadarsquos BEST preserved Ghost Town I couldnrsquot wait
The ride from the Camp Musical to Val-Jalbert which is just northwest of Chambord took about 30 minutes It was a wee bit overcast but the temperature was perfect for riding
When we arrived at Val-Jalbert we headed into the gorgeous visitor information centre and were assigned a tour guide named Michelle Pelletier Michelle turned out to be an amazing tour guide
She spoke in both French and English easily and made all of us feel so welcome

Saturday May 31st 2014 830 am Rain date June 1st rain or shine
We got in an electric cart and began our tour with Michelle telling us about the history of this town and why it is such a significant tourism and historical attraction
You see this town was the dream of one man Damase Jalbert He was the founder of the Ouiatchouan Pulp Company that built a pulp mill
here The town he founded for his employees started out as Saint-Georges-de-Ouiatchouan named for the river and the falls that powered the mill The name was changed to Val-Jalbert in 1913 in honor of the man whose dream it was
Damase wanted to build the best company town and provide his employees with a rarified quality of living
He died suddenly three years after opening the mill The mill faced a cash shortage and was bought by American shareholders in 1904 In 1909 the Chicoutimi Pulp Company bought it
From 1909 to 1922 the village flourished and was the envy of many surrounding communities
The company town offered employees electricity and running water in their homes a good 25 years before anyone else in Quebec had power
In 1923 the demand for mechanical pulp began to fall and by 1924 most of the workers had been laid off
On August 13th 1927 all operations ceased and over the next few years the village became abandoned
In 1942 the government took the property back for non-payment of taxes and in 1970 Val-Jalbert had new life breathed into it as a tourist attraction In recent years the government of Quebec has spent 19+ million dollars to upgrade and improve the visitors information centre put in a glass observation deck and a whole host of other improvements
Val-Jalbert must have been the most amazing town in the region in its day because this place is utterly amazing today The Quebec government has spent a lot of money and time restoring this
place to preserve the history and they have done an incredible job
Our first stop on the tour was the convent school where we met ldquoMother Superiorrdquo who took us through the school and answered our questions She was stern but I think there was a glint of mischief in her eyes as she ldquodisciplinedrdquo us on proper etiquette
There was the most amazing art display in
one room and in another the historical timeline of the residents of Val-Jalbert to take in The antiques and furnishings truly made you feel you were stuck in a time warp
After touring the school we headed towards the post office The ldquopostmistressrdquo was this chatty little gal that had us peeing ourselves we were laughing so hard It was pretty cool to see the old stamps and the various bits of equipment of the day
We walked up the street to take a tour of the restored duplexes that line the main street You have to see these places to truly appreciate them Imagine 1910 and you can flip a switch and have lights turn a tap and have water flush a toilet and not have to walk to the outhouse
These company houses were so well built and the people who lived here were fiercely loyal to the company that treated them so well
From the duplexes we went to the general store where we ran into the ldquoMayorrdquo the only person in town to have a car The general store offers up everything a visitor could need plus acts as a museum with lots of interesting period pieces on display
Michelle had gotten keys to show us the duplexes that have been upgraded and make up the 4 star accommodations offered here
We walked across the street and were taken to view to the most amazing hotel rooms
Rustic and yet modern these rooms are spacious well appointed and every one of them has unique little shadow boxes filled with antiques
All of the modern appliances Internet boxes and TV are all hidden in closets so that they are not visible It makes for a very appealing deacutecor
Although the rooms appear to only have one bed in the matter of a few moments Michelle had the
couch taken apart and the bed folded down out of the wall for a second bed
The bathrooms are absolute marvels with big tubs and glass showers
The parking for the hotel rooms is hidden behind a row of trees so that there is no real visual of anything modern on the face of things
From the hotel rooms we got back in the electric cart and headed towards the ldquoruinsrdquo Although many of the duplexes have been restored Michelle explained to us that the style of construction for the company houses had been changed and that
the newer houses had collapsed on themselves Some of the buildings are slated for restoration but many are too far-gone The streets they line are preserved so that one can walk by the ruins and get a feel for how large this town really was and how well laid out it was
Our next stop was the Mill Impressive is a good word to describe this place We had our lunch in the Old Mill Restaurant The food served here complimented the
atmosphere ndash IMPECCABLEThe chef Carl Murray has a great reputation that
he totally lives up toThe service
the food the atmosphere and the company were all top drawer
After our fabulous meal it was time to head to the tram and go experience the waterfalls
The ride up to the top gives you the most magnificent view of the region The Ouiatchouan Falls are some 65 feet higher than the Niagara Falls
and the power of them is palpable The rushing water is almost deafening as you walk out on to the glass observation deck
From the falls we walked down to the mill again and took in the most impressive interactive show I have ever experienced In the underbelly of the once abandoned mill amongst all of the monster gearing and shafts the lights go dim you feel the mist in the air and all of a sudden the walls become alive with characters from the original town and they take you through the historical timeline of the village and its people
It is absolutely captivating you become totally involved in the lives and the hardship of the villagers
The show signaled the end of our tour and Michelle took us back to the visitor information centre and sent us all off with gifts of blueberry jam and blueberry tea to remember our visit by
My bike had been acting up off and on and I had been keeping an eye out on a leak coming from the front of the engine The noise from the shifter region was becoming louder but I wasnrsquot experiencing any power loss so I kept an ear out and we kept riding
Our next stop was at the Cheddar Cheese Museum in Saint-Prime where a sweet young man took us on a tour
He showed us the old-fashioned way cheddar cheese was made and then we got to tour the museum portion of the factory 4 generations of the family Perron have made cheddar cheese here
The museum has over 650 artifacts that involve the familyrsquos history in cheese making including the stamps and other machinery used in exporting the cheese
The Cheddar Cheese Museum offers interactive displays and hosts several workshops on the art of making cheddar Upstairs you can view the family home of the Perronrsquos and see all of the period specific furnishings
Along with guided tours you can also sample the various types of cheddar cheese which we did and oh my I have never tasted cheddar that was so smooth and rich
After thanking our young guide for the fabulous tour we headed off
We stopped at Tim Hortonrsquos for a coffee and sitting out on the curb in front of my bike I could see the leak was getting worse I was very concerned and asked if there was a shop nearby where I could at least check the oil level in my primary
Rejean talked to one of the local riders Denis AKA Tarte au Sucre (Sweet Pie) and he took us to Carl Tremblayrsquos shop Carl is a mechanic that many here swear by His rates are far cheaper than the dealerships and every rider in the region says hersquos a guru He took the primary apart and sure
enough discovered that the compensating sprocket was dead and the stator was leaking With parts ordered and Rejeanrsquos wife going to the Harley shop to pick them up Francine Lynne Rejean and Denis rode me to my hotel the Motel Chutes des Pegraveres in Dolbeau-Mistassini My gear and luggage was distributed over three of the four bikes
By the time we got in it was dark and everyone had to head home I enjoyed a wonderful steak for supper and then headed off to my beautiful room and after a boiling hot pounding shower I climbed into the queen-sized bed and with the sound of the falls lulling me to sleep
And thatrsquos where I will leave you until next weekhellipBelt Drive Betty

1 - Yoursquoll Become a Better DriverTherersquos no doubt that riding a motorcycle has its
benefits especially when it comes to driving a car Riding a motorcycle teaches you to look out for people who are trying to kill you yoursquoll see hazards sooner and yoursquoll end up with Ninja-like machine control So when it comes to driving yoursquoll put all that to work and be a cut above the rest Hopefully
2 - Everyone Wants To Talk To YouIt really doesnrsquot matter what kind of motorcycle
you ride yoursquoll find middle-aged men stare at you and your bike with a dreamy lust before giving you an unwanted compliment Chances are theyrsquoll have no idea what the bike is either
Choose a classic or even worse a modern classic and yoursquoll become a magnet for old men who have the knack of being able to have a conversation with you without you needing to add any input Yoursquoll reach for your helmet on more than one occasion but not be able to put in on and leave because theyrsquoll ask you a question when you try Yoursquoll be subjected to questions about your
bike that you donrsquot know the answer to or even care about
The conversation will go something like this Is that a Triumph I had a Triumph once (followed by 10 minutes of ldquoback in my day rdquo)
3 - When You Say Yoursquore A Biker This Is The First Image That
Comes To Peoplehellip
5 Things They Never Told You About Becoming A Bikerby Robert Whaley NW Ontario Motorcycling
You could be a nice guy you could have something that resembles a career you could do the occasional BBQ it doesnrsquot matter When you mention to anyone at a party that yoursquove got a motorcycle a picture of this guy will pop into their head Then as you explain that you donrsquot ride a cruiser and yoursquove got a sportsbike theyrsquoll just think yoursquore speaking Greek and will reevaluate you as some sort of nut job who tries to kill himself on the highways Itrsquos a no-win
4 - Bees and Other Flying Things Will Start To Scare You
Anything flying will scare you When yoursquore sitting around at a family BBQ and everyone starts going mental the moment a bee or a wasp arrives on the scene you sit there perfectly calm and wonder what all the fuss is about
However - when yoursquore on a bike itrsquos a different story There you are riding along on a nice sunny day with your visor up enjoying the countryside and the winding road in front of you
Then you spot it 50 metres away a large insect looks like its stopped going about its daily business and itrsquos homing in at you instead Before you can do anything about it it goes THHHHHWAP right on your cheek Close but luckily it didnrsquot get you in the eye Then you panic the little bastardrsquos still in your helmet You insert a clumsy leather-clad finger and try and flick whatever it is away but probably end up pissing it off even further Then you crank on the brakes and perform the worldrsquos fastest lid removal followed by a little bit of a flappy-armed dance
5 - You Canrsquot Figure Out Who To Wave ToWhen you get a motorcycle you become part of a
club Itrsquos a club no biker really talks about but yoursquore in it now and yoursquore not allowed to leave Ever When you first pass your test yoursquoll wave at anyone and everyone If yoursquore heading down a road and a dog looks at you the right way yoursquoll probably wave at him too
Unfortunately this will change There are no set rules as to how it will change but yoursquoll end up developing your own code Me I wave at everyone dogs too and donrsquot give a second thought to the riders that donrsquot wave back But thatrsquos just me Yoursquoll have to work out your own code
Breaking is one of the most important things that you will learn to do on a motorcycle When we first learn to ride we are taught techniques to protect ourselves from crashing such as breaking shifting and countersteering But generally the most effective way to avoid an accident is through proper use of the brakes
The rear brake in particular is probably one of the least understood controls on a motorcycle Many riders donrsquot use the rear brake at all claiming that it doesnrsquot actually aid in slowing down or stopping the bike and say that it locks up the rear tire when trying to use it In fact most experts agree that a balanced use of both the front and rear brake is the most effective way of slowing or stopping a motorcycle
The rear brake also plays a huge role in adding stability to the bike when maneuvering
Because of the weight distribution on a motorcycle the braking balance of stopping power between the front and rear is 70 on the front and 30 on the rear This should tell you that if you donrsquot use the rear brake at all you are loosing 30 of the potential stopping power on your bike This could become a critical factor if you find yourself in trouble and have to try
and avoid an accident
Why does the rear brake lock up Well once again it has to do with weight distribution When you find yourself in a braking situation and start applying the brakes the geometry of the bike changes (due partly to the suspension) and much of the total weight (bike + rider) is transferred to the front This allows the rider to apply much more front brake than rear brake (the 7030 ratio)
Learning the finer points of your bikersquos braking performance is the key to keeping your bike in control It is a good idea to explore those limits in a safe environment
Practice repeated stops in an abandoned parking lot and yoursquoll start to get a feel for the amount of
effort that triggers tire slippage or rear tire lock-up
Try stopping with your front brake only then rear only and then a combination of both Once you become more familiar with your bikersquos brakes the sensations of weight transfer will start to feel more apparent and familiar That way yoursquoll be much more aware of the limits of your bike and yoursquoll be much better prepared in stopping

CAV To Hold AGM During ATLANTICADE (Summerside PE)
ndash The relationship started off by accident back in 2007 in
Moncton during the inaugural Atlanticade eventldquoI saw these guys who were hanging around
together with CAV crests on their vests and didnrsquot really know who they wererdquo says Dale Hicks festival founder and chairman Hicks began to connect the dots on the final day when the closing parade ended at the local veteranrsquos health care center and the CAV riders were very engaged with the vets ldquoSo I starting asking ndash who are these guys and what does CAV stand forrdquo
That was over seven years ago and now the relationship between Atlanticade and the Canadian Army Veterans is as strong a bond as you will find anywhere in the world of motorcycle events
ldquoOnce we became aware of who the CAV group was and what they represented I said well this group reflects the best of what it means to be Canadian so we certainly wanted to build a relationship with themrdquo recalls Hicks
Since then CAV has played a significant role in some form or fashion at each Atlanticade event The festival now has a
ldquoSupport the Troopsrdquo activity incorporated into the schedule each year where CAV plays a lead role In addition CAV will also be found leading parades such as the Confederation Bridge Cruise and the Parade of Iron Horses
In fact in 2011 Hicks was surprised and honored to be presented with an
honorary membership into the CAV organization at the closing awards breakfast at the Algonquin Hotel in St Andrews
ldquoYeah they caught me off guard with that and I certainly was humbled and honored by to be presented the crest by Trapperrdquo says Hicks ldquoI donrsquot feel worthy of wearing the crest but I do sport it proudly at certain times during Atlanticaderdquo
The unique bond between the two organizations continues for the upcoming 8th annual festival being held in Summerside PEI from June 27th to
Continued Next Page
(Atlanticade chairman Dale Hicks had just presented Trapper Cane with the annual ldquoExperienced Rider Awardrdquo
when Cane turned the tables by presenting Hicks with his honorary CAV membership during the 2011 event)
July 1st Recenty CAV founder Paul (Trapper) Cane announced the grouprsquos annual general meeting will take place in Summerside in conjunction with Atlanticade
ldquoAtlanticade brings great energy to all riders and our CAV members certainly appreciate the extra efforts put forth by Dalersquos team to give us some profile at the eventrdquo says Cane ldquoNo doubt it has been a great relationship between the two organizations and we hope it continues well into the futurerdquo
For his part Hicks says that Atlanticade is very proud to be able to host the CAV ndash AGM as part of the 2014 festival ldquoWe always have a good turnout of CAV members at our event but this will mean an additional boost in participants from across the country We hope we can make it a little special for them and something they will remember years down the roadrdquo

After a magnificent breakfast I started loading up my bike and it wasnrsquot long before the gang arrived to come take me sightseeing
Our first stop of the day after topping up our tanks was at the look out of Lac Saint Jean
From here you truly get a sense of how immense this lake is
We took some time to admire the view and chat about the plans for the rest of the day
Our next stop was to be the Camp Musical a purely French speaking musical camp for students to come and immerse themselves in the culture of the region and the music that is their passion
The camp has numerous housing units and the most incredible concert hall The Raymond Tremblay concert hall has 320 seats 2 piano rooms a bistro terrace and exhibition hall The Egyptian goddess Hathor is symbolized here and she represents happiness joy and music
The acoustics even when you are just speaking
well stunning would be the word to describe the sound quality
Everything about this 40-year-old institute screams creativity We went up to the gazebo on the observation deck and took in the panorama Breathtakingly beautiful you can see why this region inspires music and lyrics
After our tour of the camp was done we headed out towards the Village Historique Val-Jalbert Canadarsquos BEST preserved Ghost Town I couldnrsquot wait
The ride from the Camp Musical to Val-Jalbert which is just northwest of Chambord took about 30 minutes It was a wee bit overcast but the temperature was perfect for riding
When we arrived at Val-Jalbert we headed into the gorgeous visitor information centre and were assigned a tour guide named Michelle Pelletier Michelle turned out to be an amazing tour guide
She spoke in both French and English easily and made all of us feel so welcome

Saturday May 31st 2014 830 am Rain date June 1st rain or shine
We got in an electric cart and began our tour with Michelle telling us about the history of this town and why it is such a significant tourism and historical attraction
You see this town was the dream of one man Damase Jalbert He was the founder of the Ouiatchouan Pulp Company that built a pulp mill
here The town he founded for his employees started out as Saint-Georges-de-Ouiatchouan named for the river and the falls that powered the mill The name was changed to Val-Jalbert in 1913 in honor of the man whose dream it was
Damase wanted to build the best company town and provide his employees with a rarified quality of living
He died suddenly three years after opening the mill The mill faced a cash shortage and was bought by American shareholders in 1904 In 1909 the Chicoutimi Pulp Company bought it
From 1909 to 1922 the village flourished and was the envy of many surrounding communities
The company town offered employees electricity and running water in their homes a good 25 years before anyone else in Quebec had power
In 1923 the demand for mechanical pulp began to fall and by 1924 most of the workers had been laid off
On August 13th 1927 all operations ceased and over the next few years the village became abandoned
In 1942 the government took the property back for non-payment of taxes and in 1970 Val-Jalbert had new life breathed into it as a tourist attraction In recent years the government of Quebec has spent 19+ million dollars to upgrade and improve the visitors information centre put in a glass observation deck and a whole host of other improvements
Val-Jalbert must have been the most amazing town in the region in its day because this place is utterly amazing today The Quebec government has spent a lot of money and time restoring this
place to preserve the history and they have done an incredible job
Our first stop on the tour was the convent school where we met ldquoMother Superiorrdquo who took us through the school and answered our questions She was stern but I think there was a glint of mischief in her eyes as she ldquodisciplinedrdquo us on proper etiquette
There was the most amazing art display in
one room and in another the historical timeline of the residents of Val-Jalbert to take in The antiques and furnishings truly made you feel you were stuck in a time warp
After touring the school we headed towards the post office The ldquopostmistressrdquo was this chatty little gal that had us peeing ourselves we were laughing so hard It was pretty cool to see the old stamps and the various bits of equipment of the day
We walked up the street to take a tour of the restored duplexes that line the main street You have to see these places to truly appreciate them Imagine 1910 and you can flip a switch and have lights turn a tap and have water flush a toilet and not have to walk to the outhouse
These company houses were so well built and the people who lived here were fiercely loyal to the company that treated them so well
From the duplexes we went to the general store where we ran into the ldquoMayorrdquo the only person in town to have a car The general store offers up everything a visitor could need plus acts as a museum with lots of interesting period pieces on display
Michelle had gotten keys to show us the duplexes that have been upgraded and make up the 4 star accommodations offered here
We walked across the street and were taken to view to the most amazing hotel rooms
Rustic and yet modern these rooms are spacious well appointed and every one of them has unique little shadow boxes filled with antiques
All of the modern appliances Internet boxes and TV are all hidden in closets so that they are not visible It makes for a very appealing deacutecor
Although the rooms appear to only have one bed in the matter of a few moments Michelle had the
couch taken apart and the bed folded down out of the wall for a second bed
The bathrooms are absolute marvels with big tubs and glass showers
The parking for the hotel rooms is hidden behind a row of trees so that there is no real visual of anything modern on the face of things
From the hotel rooms we got back in the electric cart and headed towards the ldquoruinsrdquo Although many of the duplexes have been restored Michelle explained to us that the style of construction for the company houses had been changed and that
the newer houses had collapsed on themselves Some of the buildings are slated for restoration but many are too far-gone The streets they line are preserved so that one can walk by the ruins and get a feel for how large this town really was and how well laid out it was
Our next stop was the Mill Impressive is a good word to describe this place We had our lunch in the Old Mill Restaurant The food served here complimented the
atmosphere ndash IMPECCABLEThe chef Carl Murray has a great reputation that
he totally lives up toThe service
the food the atmosphere and the company were all top drawer
After our fabulous meal it was time to head to the tram and go experience the waterfalls
The ride up to the top gives you the most magnificent view of the region The Ouiatchouan Falls are some 65 feet higher than the Niagara Falls
and the power of them is palpable The rushing water is almost deafening as you walk out on to the glass observation deck
From the falls we walked down to the mill again and took in the most impressive interactive show I have ever experienced In the underbelly of the once abandoned mill amongst all of the monster gearing and shafts the lights go dim you feel the mist in the air and all of a sudden the walls become alive with characters from the original town and they take you through the historical timeline of the village and its people
It is absolutely captivating you become totally involved in the lives and the hardship of the villagers
The show signaled the end of our tour and Michelle took us back to the visitor information centre and sent us all off with gifts of blueberry jam and blueberry tea to remember our visit by
My bike had been acting up off and on and I had been keeping an eye out on a leak coming from the front of the engine The noise from the shifter region was becoming louder but I wasnrsquot experiencing any power loss so I kept an ear out and we kept riding
Our next stop was at the Cheddar Cheese Museum in Saint-Prime where a sweet young man took us on a tour
He showed us the old-fashioned way cheddar cheese was made and then we got to tour the museum portion of the factory 4 generations of the family Perron have made cheddar cheese here
The museum has over 650 artifacts that involve the familyrsquos history in cheese making including the stamps and other machinery used in exporting the cheese
The Cheddar Cheese Museum offers interactive displays and hosts several workshops on the art of making cheddar Upstairs you can view the family home of the Perronrsquos and see all of the period specific furnishings
Along with guided tours you can also sample the various types of cheddar cheese which we did and oh my I have never tasted cheddar that was so smooth and rich
After thanking our young guide for the fabulous tour we headed off
We stopped at Tim Hortonrsquos for a coffee and sitting out on the curb in front of my bike I could see the leak was getting worse I was very concerned and asked if there was a shop nearby where I could at least check the oil level in my primary
Rejean talked to one of the local riders Denis AKA Tarte au Sucre (Sweet Pie) and he took us to Carl Tremblayrsquos shop Carl is a mechanic that many here swear by His rates are far cheaper than the dealerships and every rider in the region says hersquos a guru He took the primary apart and sure
enough discovered that the compensating sprocket was dead and the stator was leaking With parts ordered and Rejeanrsquos wife going to the Harley shop to pick them up Francine Lynne Rejean and Denis rode me to my hotel the Motel Chutes des Pegraveres in Dolbeau-Mistassini My gear and luggage was distributed over three of the four bikes
By the time we got in it was dark and everyone had to head home I enjoyed a wonderful steak for supper and then headed off to my beautiful room and after a boiling hot pounding shower I climbed into the queen-sized bed and with the sound of the falls lulling me to sleep
And thatrsquos where I will leave you until next weekhellipBelt Drive Betty

1 - Yoursquoll Become a Better DriverTherersquos no doubt that riding a motorcycle has its
benefits especially when it comes to driving a car Riding a motorcycle teaches you to look out for people who are trying to kill you yoursquoll see hazards sooner and yoursquoll end up with Ninja-like machine control So when it comes to driving yoursquoll put all that to work and be a cut above the rest Hopefully
2 - Everyone Wants To Talk To YouIt really doesnrsquot matter what kind of motorcycle
you ride yoursquoll find middle-aged men stare at you and your bike with a dreamy lust before giving you an unwanted compliment Chances are theyrsquoll have no idea what the bike is either
Choose a classic or even worse a modern classic and yoursquoll become a magnet for old men who have the knack of being able to have a conversation with you without you needing to add any input Yoursquoll reach for your helmet on more than one occasion but not be able to put in on and leave because theyrsquoll ask you a question when you try Yoursquoll be subjected to questions about your
bike that you donrsquot know the answer to or even care about
The conversation will go something like this Is that a Triumph I had a Triumph once (followed by 10 minutes of ldquoback in my day rdquo)
3 - When You Say Yoursquore A Biker This Is The First Image That
Comes To Peoplehellip
5 Things They Never Told You About Becoming A Bikerby Robert Whaley NW Ontario Motorcycling
You could be a nice guy you could have something that resembles a career you could do the occasional BBQ it doesnrsquot matter When you mention to anyone at a party that yoursquove got a motorcycle a picture of this guy will pop into their head Then as you explain that you donrsquot ride a cruiser and yoursquove got a sportsbike theyrsquoll just think yoursquore speaking Greek and will reevaluate you as some sort of nut job who tries to kill himself on the highways Itrsquos a no-win
4 - Bees and Other Flying Things Will Start To Scare You
Anything flying will scare you When yoursquore sitting around at a family BBQ and everyone starts going mental the moment a bee or a wasp arrives on the scene you sit there perfectly calm and wonder what all the fuss is about
However - when yoursquore on a bike itrsquos a different story There you are riding along on a nice sunny day with your visor up enjoying the countryside and the winding road in front of you
Then you spot it 50 metres away a large insect looks like its stopped going about its daily business and itrsquos homing in at you instead Before you can do anything about it it goes THHHHHWAP right on your cheek Close but luckily it didnrsquot get you in the eye Then you panic the little bastardrsquos still in your helmet You insert a clumsy leather-clad finger and try and flick whatever it is away but probably end up pissing it off even further Then you crank on the brakes and perform the worldrsquos fastest lid removal followed by a little bit of a flappy-armed dance
5 - You Canrsquot Figure Out Who To Wave ToWhen you get a motorcycle you become part of a
club Itrsquos a club no biker really talks about but yoursquore in it now and yoursquore not allowed to leave Ever When you first pass your test yoursquoll wave at anyone and everyone If yoursquore heading down a road and a dog looks at you the right way yoursquoll probably wave at him too
Unfortunately this will change There are no set rules as to how it will change but yoursquoll end up developing your own code Me I wave at everyone dogs too and donrsquot give a second thought to the riders that donrsquot wave back But thatrsquos just me Yoursquoll have to work out your own code
Breaking is one of the most important things that you will learn to do on a motorcycle When we first learn to ride we are taught techniques to protect ourselves from crashing such as breaking shifting and countersteering But generally the most effective way to avoid an accident is through proper use of the brakes
The rear brake in particular is probably one of the least understood controls on a motorcycle Many riders donrsquot use the rear brake at all claiming that it doesnrsquot actually aid in slowing down or stopping the bike and say that it locks up the rear tire when trying to use it In fact most experts agree that a balanced use of both the front and rear brake is the most effective way of slowing or stopping a motorcycle
The rear brake also plays a huge role in adding stability to the bike when maneuvering
Because of the weight distribution on a motorcycle the braking balance of stopping power between the front and rear is 70 on the front and 30 on the rear This should tell you that if you donrsquot use the rear brake at all you are loosing 30 of the potential stopping power on your bike This could become a critical factor if you find yourself in trouble and have to try
and avoid an accident
Why does the rear brake lock up Well once again it has to do with weight distribution When you find yourself in a braking situation and start applying the brakes the geometry of the bike changes (due partly to the suspension) and much of the total weight (bike + rider) is transferred to the front This allows the rider to apply much more front brake than rear brake (the 7030 ratio)
Learning the finer points of your bikersquos braking performance is the key to keeping your bike in control It is a good idea to explore those limits in a safe environment
Practice repeated stops in an abandoned parking lot and yoursquoll start to get a feel for the amount of
effort that triggers tire slippage or rear tire lock-up
Try stopping with your front brake only then rear only and then a combination of both Once you become more familiar with your bikersquos brakes the sensations of weight transfer will start to feel more apparent and familiar That way yoursquoll be much more aware of the limits of your bike and yoursquoll be much better prepared in stopping

ndash The relationship started off by accident back in 2007 in
Moncton during the inaugural Atlanticade eventldquoI saw these guys who were hanging around
together with CAV crests on their vests and didnrsquot really know who they wererdquo says Dale Hicks festival founder and chairman Hicks began to connect the dots on the final day when the closing parade ended at the local veteranrsquos health care center and the CAV riders were very engaged with the vets ldquoSo I starting asking ndash who are these guys and what does CAV stand forrdquo
That was over seven years ago and now the relationship between Atlanticade and the Canadian Army Veterans is as strong a bond as you will find anywhere in the world of motorcycle events
ldquoOnce we became aware of who the CAV group was and what they represented I said well this group reflects the best of what it means to be Canadian so we certainly wanted to build a relationship with themrdquo recalls Hicks
Since then CAV has played a significant role in some form or fashion at each Atlanticade event The festival now has a
ldquoSupport the Troopsrdquo activity incorporated into the schedule each year where CAV plays a lead role In addition CAV will also be found leading parades such as the Confederation Bridge Cruise and the Parade of Iron Horses
In fact in 2011 Hicks was surprised and honored to be presented with an
honorary membership into the CAV organization at the closing awards breakfast at the Algonquin Hotel in St Andrews
ldquoYeah they caught me off guard with that and I certainly was humbled and honored by to be presented the crest by Trapperrdquo says Hicks ldquoI donrsquot feel worthy of wearing the crest but I do sport it proudly at certain times during Atlanticaderdquo
The unique bond between the two organizations continues for the upcoming 8th annual festival being held in Summerside PEI from June 27th to

(Atlanticade chairman Dale Hicks had just presented Trapper Cane with the annual ldquoExperienced Rider Awardrdquo
when Cane turned the tables by presenting Hicks with his honorary CAV membership during the 2011 event)

For his part Hicks says that Atlanticade is very proud to be able to host the CAV ndash AGM as part of the 2014 festival ldquoWe always have a good turnout of CAV members at our event but this will mean an additional boost in participants from across the country We hope we can make it a little special for them and something they will remember years down the roadrdquo

and take a step up Pretty soon everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted offAnd the moral ishellip Life is going to shovel dirt on you all kinds of dirt The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up Each of our troubles is a steppingstone We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping never giving up Shake it off and take a step up

After a magnificent breakfast I started loading up my bike and it wasnrsquot long before the gang arrived to come take me sightseeing
Our first stop of the day after topping up our tanks was at the look out of Lac Saint Jean
From here you truly get a sense of how immense this lake is
We took some time to admire the view and chat about the plans for the rest of the day
Our next stop was to be the Camp Musical a purely French speaking musical camp for students to come and immerse themselves in the culture of the region and the music that is their passion
The camp has numerous housing units and the most incredible concert hall The Raymond Tremblay concert hall has 320 seats 2 piano rooms a bistro terrace and exhibition hall The Egyptian goddess Hathor is symbolized here and she represents happiness joy and music
The acoustics even when you are just speaking
well stunning would be the word to describe the sound quality
Everything about this 40-year-old institute screams creativity We went up to the gazebo on the observation deck and took in the panorama Breathtakingly beautiful you can see why this region inspires music and lyrics
After our tour of the camp was done we headed out towards the Village Historique Val-Jalbert Canadarsquos BEST preserved Ghost Town I couldnrsquot wait
The ride from the Camp Musical to Val-Jalbert which is just northwest of Chambord took about 30 minutes It was a wee bit overcast but the temperature was perfect for riding
When we arrived at Val-Jalbert we headed into the gorgeous visitor information centre and were assigned a tour guide named Michelle Pelletier Michelle turned out to be an amazing tour guide
She spoke in both French and English easily and made all of us feel so welcome

Saturday May 31st 2014 830 am Rain date June 1st rain or shine
We got in an electric cart and began our tour with Michelle telling us about the history of this town and why it is such a significant tourism and historical attraction
You see this town was the dream of one man Damase Jalbert He was the founder of the Ouiatchouan Pulp Company that built a pulp mill
here The town he founded for his employees started out as Saint-Georges-de-Ouiatchouan named for the river and the falls that powered the mill The name was changed to Val-Jalbert in 1913 in honor of the man whose dream it was
Damase wanted to build the best company town and provide his employees with a rarified quality of living
He died suddenly three years after opening the mill The mill faced a cash shortage and was bought by American shareholders in 1904 In 1909 the Chicoutimi Pulp Company bought it
From 1909 to 1922 the village flourished and was the envy of many surrounding communities
The company town offered employees electricity and running water in their homes a good 25 years before anyone else in Quebec had power
In 1923 the demand for mechanical pulp began to fall and by 1924 most of the workers had been laid off
On August 13th 1927 all operations ceased and over the next few years the village became abandoned
In 1942 the government took the property back for non-payment of taxes and in 1970 Val-Jalbert had new life breathed into it as a tourist attraction In recent years the government of Quebec has spent 19+ million dollars to upgrade and improve the visitors information centre put in a glass observation deck and a whole host of other improvements
Val-Jalbert must have been the most amazing town in the region in its day because this place is utterly amazing today The Quebec government has spent a lot of money and time restoring this
place to preserve the history and they have done an incredible job
Our first stop on the tour was the convent school where we met ldquoMother Superiorrdquo who took us through the school and answered our questions She was stern but I think there was a glint of mischief in her eyes as she ldquodisciplinedrdquo us on proper etiquette
There was the most amazing art display in
one room and in another the historical timeline of the residents of Val-Jalbert to take in The antiques and furnishings truly made you feel you were stuck in a time warp
After touring the school we headed towards the post office The ldquopostmistressrdquo was this chatty little gal that had us peeing ourselves we were laughing so hard It was pretty cool to see the old stamps and the various bits of equipment of the day
We walked up the street to take a tour of the restored duplexes that line the main street You have to see these places to truly appreciate them Imagine 1910 and you can flip a switch and have lights turn a tap and have water flush a toilet and not have to walk to the outhouse
These company houses were so well built and the people who lived here were fiercely loyal to the company that treated them so well
From the duplexes we went to the general store where we ran into the ldquoMayorrdquo the only person in town to have a car The general store offers up everything a visitor could need plus acts as a museum with lots of interesting period pieces on display
Michelle had gotten keys to show us the duplexes that have been upgraded and make up the 4 star accommodations offered here
We walked across the street and were taken to view to the most amazing hotel rooms
Rustic and yet modern these rooms are spacious well appointed and every one of them has unique little shadow boxes filled with antiques
All of the modern appliances Internet boxes and TV are all hidden in closets so that they are not visible It makes for a very appealing deacutecor
Although the rooms appear to only have one bed in the matter of a few moments Michelle had the
couch taken apart and the bed folded down out of the wall for a second bed
The bathrooms are absolute marvels with big tubs and glass showers
The parking for the hotel rooms is hidden behind a row of trees so that there is no real visual of anything modern on the face of things
From the hotel rooms we got back in the electric cart and headed towards the ldquoruinsrdquo Although many of the duplexes have been restored Michelle explained to us that the style of construction for the company houses had been changed and that
the newer houses had collapsed on themselves Some of the buildings are slated for restoration but many are too far-gone The streets they line are preserved so that one can walk by the ruins and get a feel for how large this town really was and how well laid out it was
Our next stop was the Mill Impressive is a good word to describe this place We had our lunch in the Old Mill Restaurant The food served here complimented the
atmosphere ndash IMPECCABLEThe chef Carl Murray has a great reputation that
he totally lives up toThe service
the food the atmosphere and the company were all top drawer
After our fabulous meal it was time to head to the tram and go experience the waterfalls
The ride up to the top gives you the most magnificent view of the region The Ouiatchouan Falls are some 65 feet higher than the Niagara Falls
and the power of them is palpable The rushing water is almost deafening as you walk out on to the glass observation deck
From the falls we walked down to the mill again and took in the most impressive interactive show I have ever experienced In the underbelly of the once abandoned mill amongst all of the monster gearing and shafts the lights go dim you feel the mist in the air and all of a sudden the walls become alive with characters from the original town and they take you through the historical timeline of the village and its people
It is absolutely captivating you become totally involved in the lives and the hardship of the villagers
The show signaled the end of our tour and Michelle took us back to the visitor information centre and sent us all off with gifts of blueberry jam and blueberry tea to remember our visit by
My bike had been acting up off and on and I had been keeping an eye out on a leak coming from the front of the engine The noise from the shifter region was becoming louder but I wasnrsquot experiencing any power loss so I kept an ear out and we kept riding
Our next stop was at the Cheddar Cheese Museum in Saint-Prime where a sweet young man took us on a tour
He showed us the old-fashioned way cheddar cheese was made and then we got to tour the museum portion of the factory 4 generations of the family Perron have made cheddar cheese here
The museum has over 650 artifacts that involve the familyrsquos history in cheese making including the stamps and other machinery used in exporting the cheese
The Cheddar Cheese Museum offers interactive displays and hosts several workshops on the art of making cheddar Upstairs you can view the family home of the Perronrsquos and see all of the period specific furnishings
Along with guided tours you can also sample the various types of cheddar cheese which we did and oh my I have never tasted cheddar that was so smooth and rich
After thanking our young guide for the fabulous tour we headed off
We stopped at Tim Hortonrsquos for a coffee and sitting out on the curb in front of my bike I could see the leak was getting worse I was very concerned and asked if there was a shop nearby where I could at least check the oil level in my primary
Rejean talked to one of the local riders Denis AKA Tarte au Sucre (Sweet Pie) and he took us to Carl Tremblayrsquos shop Carl is a mechanic that many here swear by His rates are far cheaper than the dealerships and every rider in the region says hersquos a guru He took the primary apart and sure
enough discovered that the compensating sprocket was dead and the stator was leaking With parts ordered and Rejeanrsquos wife going to the Harley shop to pick them up Francine Lynne Rejean and Denis rode me to my hotel the Motel Chutes des Pegraveres in Dolbeau-Mistassini My gear and luggage was distributed over three of the four bikes
By the time we got in it was dark and everyone had to head home I enjoyed a wonderful steak for supper and then headed off to my beautiful room and after a boiling hot pounding shower I climbed into the queen-sized bed and with the sound of the falls lulling me to sleep
And thatrsquos where I will leave you until next weekhellipBelt Drive Betty

1 - Yoursquoll Become a Better DriverTherersquos no doubt that riding a motorcycle has its
benefits especially when it comes to driving a car Riding a motorcycle teaches you to look out for people who are trying to kill you yoursquoll see hazards sooner and yoursquoll end up with Ninja-like machine control So when it comes to driving yoursquoll put all that to work and be a cut above the rest Hopefully
2 - Everyone Wants To Talk To YouIt really doesnrsquot matter what kind of motorcycle
you ride yoursquoll find middle-aged men stare at you and your bike with a dreamy lust before giving you an unwanted compliment Chances are theyrsquoll have no idea what the bike is either
Choose a classic or even worse a modern classic and yoursquoll become a magnet for old men who have the knack of being able to have a conversation with you without you needing to add any input Yoursquoll reach for your helmet on more than one occasion but not be able to put in on and leave because theyrsquoll ask you a question when you try Yoursquoll be subjected to questions about your
bike that you donrsquot know the answer to or even care about
The conversation will go something like this Is that a Triumph I had a Triumph once (followed by 10 minutes of ldquoback in my day rdquo)
3 - When You Say Yoursquore A Biker This Is The First Image That
Comes To Peoplehellip
5 Things They Never Told You About Becoming A Bikerby Robert Whaley NW Ontario Motorcycling
You could be a nice guy you could have something that resembles a career you could do the occasional BBQ it doesnrsquot matter When you mention to anyone at a party that yoursquove got a motorcycle a picture of this guy will pop into their head Then as you explain that you donrsquot ride a cruiser and yoursquove got a sportsbike theyrsquoll just think yoursquore speaking Greek and will reevaluate you as some sort of nut job who tries to kill himself on the highways Itrsquos a no-win
4 - Bees and Other Flying Things Will Start To Scare You
Anything flying will scare you When yoursquore sitting around at a family BBQ and everyone starts going mental the moment a bee or a wasp arrives on the scene you sit there perfectly calm and wonder what all the fuss is about
However - when yoursquore on a bike itrsquos a different story There you are riding along on a nice sunny day with your visor up enjoying the countryside and the winding road in front of you
Then you spot it 50 metres away a large insect looks like its stopped going about its daily business and itrsquos homing in at you instead Before you can do anything about it it goes THHHHHWAP right on your cheek Close but luckily it didnrsquot get you in the eye Then you panic the little bastardrsquos still in your helmet You insert a clumsy leather-clad finger and try and flick whatever it is away but probably end up pissing it off even further Then you crank on the brakes and perform the worldrsquos fastest lid removal followed by a little bit of a flappy-armed dance
5 - You Canrsquot Figure Out Who To Wave ToWhen you get a motorcycle you become part of a
club Itrsquos a club no biker really talks about but yoursquore in it now and yoursquore not allowed to leave Ever When you first pass your test yoursquoll wave at anyone and everyone If yoursquore heading down a road and a dog looks at you the right way yoursquoll probably wave at him too
Unfortunately this will change There are no set rules as to how it will change but yoursquoll end up developing your own code Me I wave at everyone dogs too and donrsquot give a second thought to the riders that donrsquot wave back But thatrsquos just me Yoursquoll have to work out your own code
Breaking is one of the most important things that you will learn to do on a motorcycle When we first learn to ride we are taught techniques to protect ourselves from crashing such as breaking shifting and countersteering But generally the most effective way to avoid an accident is through proper use of the brakes
The rear brake in particular is probably one of the least understood controls on a motorcycle Many riders donrsquot use the rear brake at all claiming that it doesnrsquot actually aid in slowing down or stopping the bike and say that it locks up the rear tire when trying to use it In fact most experts agree that a balanced use of both the front and rear brake is the most effective way of slowing or stopping a motorcycle
The rear brake also plays a huge role in adding stability to the bike when maneuvering
Because of the weight distribution on a motorcycle the braking balance of stopping power between the front and rear is 70 on the front and 30 on the rear This should tell you that if you donrsquot use the rear brake at all you are loosing 30 of the potential stopping power on your bike This could become a critical factor if you find yourself in trouble and have to try
and avoid an accident
Why does the rear brake lock up Well once again it has to do with weight distribution When you find yourself in a braking situation and start applying the brakes the geometry of the bike changes (due partly to the suspension) and much of the total weight (bike + rider) is transferred to the front This allows the rider to apply much more front brake than rear brake (the 7030 ratio)
Learning the finer points of your bikersquos braking performance is the key to keeping your bike in control It is a good idea to explore those limits in a safe environment
Practice repeated stops in an abandoned parking lot and yoursquoll start to get a feel for the amount of
effort that triggers tire slippage or rear tire lock-up
Try stopping with your front brake only then rear only and then a combination of both Once you become more familiar with your bikersquos brakes the sensations of weight transfer will start to feel more apparent and familiar That way yoursquoll be much more aware of the limits of your bike and yoursquoll be much better prepared in stopping

CAV To Hold AGM During ATLANTICADE (Summerside PE)
ndash The relationship started off by accident back in 2007 in
Moncton during the inaugural Atlanticade eventldquoI saw these guys who were hanging around
together with CAV crests on their vests and didnrsquot really know who they wererdquo says Dale Hicks festival founder and chairman Hicks began to connect the dots on the final day when the closing parade ended at the local veteranrsquos health care center and the CAV riders were very engaged with the vets ldquoSo I starting asking ndash who are these guys and what does CAV stand forrdquo
That was over seven years ago and now the relationship between Atlanticade and the Canadian Army Veterans is as strong a bond as you will find anywhere in the world of motorcycle events
ldquoOnce we became aware of who the CAV group was and what they represented I said well this group reflects the best of what it means to be Canadian so we certainly wanted to build a relationship with themrdquo recalls Hicks
Since then CAV has played a significant role in some form or fashion at each Atlanticade event The festival now has a
ldquoSupport the Troopsrdquo activity incorporated into the schedule each year where CAV plays a lead role In addition CAV will also be found leading parades such as the Confederation Bridge Cruise and the Parade of Iron Horses
In fact in 2011 Hicks was surprised and honored to be presented with an
honorary membership into the CAV organization at the closing awards breakfast at the Algonquin Hotel in St Andrews
ldquoYeah they caught me off guard with that and I certainly was humbled and honored by to be presented the crest by Trapperrdquo says Hicks ldquoI donrsquot feel worthy of wearing the crest but I do sport it proudly at certain times during Atlanticaderdquo
The unique bond between the two organizations continues for the upcoming 8th annual festival being held in Summerside PEI from June 27th to
Continued Next Page
(Atlanticade chairman Dale Hicks had just presented Trapper Cane with the annual ldquoExperienced Rider Awardrdquo
when Cane turned the tables by presenting Hicks with his honorary CAV membership during the 2011 event)
July 1st Recenty CAV founder Paul (Trapper) Cane announced the grouprsquos annual general meeting will take place in Summerside in conjunction with Atlanticade
ldquoAtlanticade brings great energy to all riders and our CAV members certainly appreciate the extra efforts put forth by Dalersquos team to give us some profile at the eventrdquo says Cane ldquoNo doubt it has been a great relationship between the two organizations and we hope it continues well into the futurerdquo
For his part Hicks says that Atlanticade is very proud to be able to host the CAV ndash AGM as part of the 2014 festival ldquoWe always have a good turnout of CAV members at our event but this will mean an additional boost in participants from across the country We hope we can make it a little special for them and something they will remember years down the roadrdquo

Wyz WisdomPeople often take the time to complain but rarely take the time to say ldquoyou done goodrdquo ndash take a momenthellipspread the happyhelliptell someone when theyrsquove done a good job today ndash WyzWmnSome Donkey WisdomOne day a farmerrsquos donkey fell down into a well The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to doFinally he decided the animal was old and the well needed to be covered up anyway it just wasnrsquot worth it to retrieve the donkey He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well At first the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly Then to everyonersquos amazement he quieted downA few shovel loads later the farmer finally looked down the well and was astonished at what he saw With every shovel of dirt that hit his back the donkey was doing something amazing He would shake it off and take a step up on the dirt As the farmerrsquos neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal he would shake it off
and take a step up Pretty soon everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted offAnd the moral ishellip Life is going to shovel dirt on you all kinds of dirt The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up Each of our troubles is a steppingstone We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping never giving up Shake it off and take a step up

After a magnificent breakfast I started loading up my bike and it wasnrsquot long before the gang arrived to come take me sightseeing
Our first stop of the day after topping up our tanks was at the look out of Lac Saint Jean
From here you truly get a sense of how immense this lake is
We took some time to admire the view and chat about the plans for the rest of the day
Our next stop was to be the Camp Musical a purely French speaking musical camp for students to come and immerse themselves in the culture of the region and the music that is their passion
The camp has numerous housing units and the most incredible concert hall The Raymond Tremblay concert hall has 320 seats 2 piano rooms a bistro terrace and exhibition hall The Egyptian goddess Hathor is symbolized here and she represents happiness joy and music
The acoustics even when you are just speaking
well stunning would be the word to describe the sound quality
Everything about this 40-year-old institute screams creativity We went up to the gazebo on the observation deck and took in the panorama Breathtakingly beautiful you can see why this region inspires music and lyrics
After our tour of the camp was done we headed out towards the Village Historique Val-Jalbert Canadarsquos BEST preserved Ghost Town I couldnrsquot wait
The ride from the Camp Musical to Val-Jalbert which is just northwest of Chambord took about 30 minutes It was a wee bit overcast but the temperature was perfect for riding
When we arrived at Val-Jalbert we headed into the gorgeous visitor information centre and were assigned a tour guide named Michelle Pelletier Michelle turned out to be an amazing tour guide
She spoke in both French and English easily and made all of us feel so welcome

Saturday May 31st 2014 830 am Rain date June 1st rain or shine
We got in an electric cart and began our tour with Michelle telling us about the history of this town and why it is such a significant tourism and historical attraction
You see this town was the dream of one man Damase Jalbert He was the founder of the Ouiatchouan Pulp Company that built a pulp mill
here The town he founded for his employees started out as Saint-Georges-de-Ouiatchouan named for the river and the falls that powered the mill The name was changed to Val-Jalbert in 1913 in honor of the man whose dream it was
Damase wanted to build the best company town and provide his employees with a rarified quality of living
He died suddenly three years after opening the mill The mill faced a cash shortage and was bought by American shareholders in 1904 In 1909 the Chicoutimi Pulp Company bought it
From 1909 to 1922 the village flourished and was the envy of many surrounding communities
The company town offered employees electricity and running water in their homes a good 25 years before anyone else in Quebec had power
In 1923 the demand for mechanical pulp began to fall and by 1924 most of the workers had been laid off
On August 13th 1927 all operations ceased and over the next few years the village became abandoned
In 1942 the government took the property back for non-payment of taxes and in 1970 Val-Jalbert had new life breathed into it as a tourist attraction In recent years the government of Quebec has spent 19+ million dollars to upgrade and improve the visitors information centre put in a glass observation deck and a whole host of other improvements
Val-Jalbert must have been the most amazing town in the region in its day because this place is utterly amazing today The Quebec government has spent a lot of money and time restoring this
place to preserve the history and they have done an incredible job
Our first stop on the tour was the convent school where we met ldquoMother Superiorrdquo who took us through the school and answered our questions She was stern but I think there was a glint of mischief in her eyes as she ldquodisciplinedrdquo us on proper etiquette
There was the most amazing art display in
one room and in another the historical timeline of the residents of Val-Jalbert to take in The antiques and furnishings truly made you feel you were stuck in a time warp
After touring the school we headed towards the post office The ldquopostmistressrdquo was this chatty little gal that had us peeing ourselves we were laughing so hard It was pretty cool to see the old stamps and the various bits of equipment of the day
We walked up the street to take a tour of the restored duplexes that line the main street You have to see these places to truly appreciate them Imagine 1910 and you can flip a switch and have lights turn a tap and have water flush a toilet and not have to walk to the outhouse
These company houses were so well built and the people who lived here were fiercely loyal to the company that treated them so well
From the duplexes we went to the general store where we ran into the ldquoMayorrdquo the only person in town to have a car The general store offers up everything a visitor could need plus acts as a museum with lots of interesting period pieces on display
Michelle had gotten keys to show us the duplexes that have been upgraded and make up the 4 star accommodations offered here
We walked across the street and were taken to view to the most amazing hotel rooms
Rustic and yet modern these rooms are spacious well appointed and every one of them has unique little shadow boxes filled with antiques
All of the modern appliances Internet boxes and TV are all hidden in closets so that they are not visible It makes for a very appealing deacutecor
Although the rooms appear to only have one bed in the matter of a few moments Michelle had the
couch taken apart and the bed folded down out of the wall for a second bed
The bathrooms are absolute marvels with big tubs and glass showers
The parking for the hotel rooms is hidden behind a row of trees so that there is no real visual of anything modern on the face of things
From the hotel rooms we got back in the electric cart and headed towards the ldquoruinsrdquo Although many of the duplexes have been restored Michelle explained to us that the style of construction for the company houses had been changed and that
the newer houses had collapsed on themselves Some of the buildings are slated for restoration but many are too far-gone The streets they line are preserved so that one can walk by the ruins and get a feel for how large this town really was and how well laid out it was
Our next stop was the Mill Impressive is a good word to describe this place We had our lunch in the Old Mill Restaurant The food served here complimented the
atmosphere ndash IMPECCABLEThe chef Carl Murray has a great reputation that
he totally lives up toThe service
the food the atmosphere and the company were all top drawer
After our fabulous meal it was time to head to the tram and go experience the waterfalls
The ride up to the top gives you the most magnificent view of the region The Ouiatchouan Falls are some 65 feet higher than the Niagara Falls
and the power of them is palpable The rushing water is almost deafening as you walk out on to the glass observation deck
From the falls we walked down to the mill again and took in the most impressive interactive show I have ever experienced In the underbelly of the once abandoned mill amongst all of the monster gearing and shafts the lights go dim you feel the mist in the air and all of a sudden the walls become alive with characters from the original town and they take you through the historical timeline of the village and its people
It is absolutely captivating you become totally involved in the lives and the hardship of the villagers
The show signaled the end of our tour and Michelle took us back to the visitor information centre and sent us all off with gifts of blueberry jam and blueberry tea to remember our visit by
My bike had been acting up off and on and I had been keeping an eye out on a leak coming from the front of the engine The noise from the shifter region was becoming louder but I wasnrsquot experiencing any power loss so I kept an ear out and we kept riding
Our next stop was at the Cheddar Cheese Museum in Saint-Prime where a sweet young man took us on a tour
He showed us the old-fashioned way cheddar cheese was made and then we got to tour the museum portion of the factory 4 generations of the family Perron have made cheddar cheese here
The museum has over 650 artifacts that involve the familyrsquos history in cheese making including the stamps and other machinery used in exporting the cheese
The Cheddar Cheese Museum offers interactive displays and hosts several workshops on the art of making cheddar Upstairs you can view the family home of the Perronrsquos and see all of the period specific furnishings
Along with guided tours you can also sample the various types of cheddar cheese which we did and oh my I have never tasted cheddar that was so smooth and rich
After thanking our young guide for the fabulous tour we headed off
We stopped at Tim Hortonrsquos for a coffee and sitting out on the curb in front of my bike I could see the leak was getting worse I was very concerned and asked if there was a shop nearby where I could at least check the oil level in my primary
Rejean talked to one of the local riders Denis AKA Tarte au Sucre (Sweet Pie) and he took us to Carl Tremblayrsquos shop Carl is a mechanic that many here swear by His rates are far cheaper than the dealerships and every rider in the region says hersquos a guru He took the primary apart and sure
enough discovered that the compensating sprocket was dead and the stator was leaking With parts ordered and Rejeanrsquos wife going to the Harley shop to pick them up Francine Lynne Rejean and Denis rode me to my hotel the Motel Chutes des Pegraveres in Dolbeau-Mistassini My gear and luggage was distributed over three of the four bikes
By the time we got in it was dark and everyone had to head home I enjoyed a wonderful steak for supper and then headed off to my beautiful room and after a boiling hot pounding shower I climbed into the queen-sized bed and with the sound of the falls lulling me to sleep
And thatrsquos where I will leave you until next weekhellipBelt Drive Betty

1 - Yoursquoll Become a Better DriverTherersquos no doubt that riding a motorcycle has its
benefits especially when it comes to driving a car Riding a motorcycle teaches you to look out for people who are trying to kill you yoursquoll see hazards sooner and yoursquoll end up with Ninja-like machine control So when it comes to driving yoursquoll put all that to work and be a cut above the rest Hopefully
2 - Everyone Wants To Talk To YouIt really doesnrsquot matter what kind of motorcycle
you ride yoursquoll find middle-aged men stare at you and your bike with a dreamy lust before giving you an unwanted compliment Chances are theyrsquoll have no idea what the bike is either
Choose a classic or even worse a modern classic and yoursquoll become a magnet for old men who have the knack of being able to have a conversation with you without you needing to add any input Yoursquoll reach for your helmet on more than one occasion but not be able to put in on and leave because theyrsquoll ask you a question when you try Yoursquoll be subjected to questions about your
bike that you donrsquot know the answer to or even care about
The conversation will go something like this Is that a Triumph I had a Triumph once (followed by 10 minutes of ldquoback in my day rdquo)
3 - When You Say Yoursquore A Biker This Is The First Image That
Comes To Peoplehellip
5 Things They Never Told You About Becoming A Bikerby Robert Whaley NW Ontario Motorcycling
You could be a nice guy you could have something that resembles a career you could do the occasional BBQ it doesnrsquot matter When you mention to anyone at a party that yoursquove got a motorcycle a picture of this guy will pop into their head Then as you explain that you donrsquot ride a cruiser and yoursquove got a sportsbike theyrsquoll just think yoursquore speaking Greek and will reevaluate you as some sort of nut job who tries to kill himself on the highways Itrsquos a no-win
4 - Bees and Other Flying Things Will Start To Scare You
Anything flying will scare you When yoursquore sitting around at a family BBQ and everyone starts going mental the moment a bee or a wasp arrives on the scene you sit there perfectly calm and wonder what all the fuss is about
However - when yoursquore on a bike itrsquos a different story There you are riding along on a nice sunny day with your visor up enjoying the countryside and the winding road in front of you
Then you spot it 50 metres away a large insect looks like its stopped going about its daily business and itrsquos homing in at you instead Before you can do anything about it it goes THHHHHWAP right on your cheek Close but luckily it didnrsquot get you in the eye Then you panic the little bastardrsquos still in your helmet You insert a clumsy leather-clad finger and try and flick whatever it is away but probably end up pissing it off even further Then you crank on the brakes and perform the worldrsquos fastest lid removal followed by a little bit of a flappy-armed dance
5 - You Canrsquot Figure Out Who To Wave ToWhen you get a motorcycle you become part of a
club Itrsquos a club no biker really talks about but yoursquore in it now and yoursquore not allowed to leave Ever When you first pass your test yoursquoll wave at anyone and everyone If yoursquore heading down a road and a dog looks at you the right way yoursquoll probably wave at him too
Unfortunately this will change There are no set rules as to how it will change but yoursquoll end up developing your own code Me I wave at everyone dogs too and donrsquot give a second thought to the riders that donrsquot wave back But thatrsquos just me Yoursquoll have to work out your own code
Breaking is one of the most important things that you will learn to do on a motorcycle When we first learn to ride we are taught techniques to protect ourselves from crashing such as breaking shifting and countersteering But generally the most effective way to avoid an accident is through proper use of the brakes
The rear brake in particular is probably one of the least understood controls on a motorcycle Many riders donrsquot use the rear brake at all claiming that it doesnrsquot actually aid in slowing down or stopping the bike and say that it locks up the rear tire when trying to use it In fact most experts agree that a balanced use of both the front and rear brake is the most effective way of slowing or stopping a motorcycle
The rear brake also plays a huge role in adding stability to the bike when maneuvering
Because of the weight distribution on a motorcycle the braking balance of stopping power between the front and rear is 70 on the front and 30 on the rear This should tell you that if you donrsquot use the rear brake at all you are loosing 30 of the potential stopping power on your bike This could become a critical factor if you find yourself in trouble and have to try
and avoid an accident
Why does the rear brake lock up Well once again it has to do with weight distribution When you find yourself in a braking situation and start applying the brakes the geometry of the bike changes (due partly to the suspension) and much of the total weight (bike + rider) is transferred to the front This allows the rider to apply much more front brake than rear brake (the 7030 ratio)
Learning the finer points of your bikersquos braking performance is the key to keeping your bike in control It is a good idea to explore those limits in a safe environment
Practice repeated stops in an abandoned parking lot and yoursquoll start to get a feel for the amount of
effort that triggers tire slippage or rear tire lock-up
Try stopping with your front brake only then rear only and then a combination of both Once you become more familiar with your bikersquos brakes the sensations of weight transfer will start to feel more apparent and familiar That way yoursquoll be much more aware of the limits of your bike and yoursquoll be much better prepared in stopping

CAV To Hold AGM During ATLANTICADE (Summerside PE)
ndash The relationship started off by accident back in 2007 in
Moncton during the inaugural Atlanticade eventldquoI saw these guys who were hanging around
together with CAV crests on their vests and didnrsquot really know who they wererdquo says Dale Hicks festival founder and chairman Hicks began to connect the dots on the final day when the closing parade ended at the local veteranrsquos health care center and the CAV riders were very engaged with the vets ldquoSo I starting asking ndash who are these guys and what does CAV stand forrdquo
That was over seven years ago and now the relationship between Atlanticade and the Canadian Army Veterans is as strong a bond as you will find anywhere in the world of motorcycle events
ldquoOnce we became aware of who the CAV group was and what they represented I said well this group reflects the best of what it means to be Canadian so we certainly wanted to build a relationship with themrdquo recalls Hicks
Since then CAV has played a significant role in some form or fashion at each Atlanticade event The festival now has a
ldquoSupport the Troopsrdquo activity incorporated into the schedule each year where CAV plays a lead role In addition CAV will also be found leading parades such as the Confederation Bridge Cruise and the Parade of Iron Horses
In fact in 2011 Hicks was surprised and honored to be presented with an
honorary membership into the CAV organization at the closing awards breakfast at the Algonquin Hotel in St Andrews
ldquoYeah they caught me off guard with that and I certainly was humbled and honored by to be presented the crest by Trapperrdquo says Hicks ldquoI donrsquot feel worthy of wearing the crest but I do sport it proudly at certain times during Atlanticaderdquo
The unique bond between the two organizations continues for the upcoming 8th annual festival being held in Summerside PEI from June 27th to
Continued Next Page
(Atlanticade chairman Dale Hicks had just presented Trapper Cane with the annual ldquoExperienced Rider Awardrdquo
when Cane turned the tables by presenting Hicks with his honorary CAV membership during the 2011 event)
July 1st Recenty CAV founder Paul (Trapper) Cane announced the grouprsquos annual general meeting will take place in Summerside in conjunction with Atlanticade
ldquoAtlanticade brings great energy to all riders and our CAV members certainly appreciate the extra efforts put forth by Dalersquos team to give us some profile at the eventrdquo says Cane ldquoNo doubt it has been a great relationship between the two organizations and we hope it continues well into the futurerdquo
For his part Hicks says that Atlanticade is very proud to be able to host the CAV ndash AGM as part of the 2014 festival ldquoWe always have a good turnout of CAV members at our event but this will mean an additional boost in participants from across the country We hope we can make it a little special for them and something they will remember years down the roadrdquo

We got in an electric cart and began our tour with Michelle telling us about the history of this town and why it is such a significant tourism and historical attraction
You see this town was the dream of one man Damase Jalbert He was the founder of the Ouiatchouan Pulp Company that built a pulp mill
here The town he founded for his employees started out as Saint-Georges-de-Ouiatchouan named for the river and the falls that powered the mill The name was changed to Val-Jalbert in 1913 in honor of the man whose dream it was
Damase wanted to build the best company town and provide his employees with a rarified quality of living
He died suddenly three years after opening the mill The mill faced a cash shortage and was bought by American shareholders in 1904 In 1909 the Chicoutimi Pulp Company bought it
From 1909 to 1922 the village flourished and was the envy of many surrounding communities
The company town offered employees electricity and running water in their homes a good 25 years before anyone else in Quebec had power
In 1923 the demand for mechanical pulp began to fall and by 1924 most of the workers had been laid off
On August 13th 1927 all operations ceased and over the next few years the village became abandoned
In 1942 the government took the property back for non-payment of taxes and in 1970 Val-Jalbert had new life breathed into it as a tourist attraction In recent years the government of Quebec has spent 19+ million dollars to upgrade and improve the visitors information centre put in a glass observation deck and a whole host of other improvements
Val-Jalbert must have been the most amazing town in the region in its day because this place is utterly amazing today The Quebec government has spent a lot of money and time restoring this
place to preserve the history and they have done an incredible job
Our first stop on the tour was the convent school where we met ldquoMother Superiorrdquo who took us through the school and answered our questions She was stern but I think there was a glint of mischief in her eyes as she ldquodisciplinedrdquo us on proper etiquette
There was the most amazing art display in
one room and in another the historical timeline of the residents of Val-Jalbert to take in The antiques and furnishings truly made you feel you were stuck in a time warp
After touring the school we headed towards the post office The ldquopostmistressrdquo was this chatty little gal that had us peeing ourselves we were laughing so hard It was pretty cool to see the old stamps and the various bits of equipment of the day
We walked up the street to take a tour of the restored duplexes that line the main street You have to see these places to truly appreciate them Imagine 1910 and you can flip a switch and have lights turn a tap and have water flush a toilet and not have to walk to the outhouse
These company houses were so well built and the people who lived here were fiercely loyal to the company that treated them so well
From the duplexes we went to the general store where we ran into the ldquoMayorrdquo the only person in town to have a car The general store offers up everything a visitor could need plus acts as a museum with lots of interesting period pieces on display
Michelle had gotten keys to show us the duplexes that have been upgraded and make up the 4 star accommodations offered here
We walked across the street and were taken to view to the most amazing hotel rooms
Rustic and yet modern these rooms are spacious well appointed and every one of them has unique little shadow boxes filled with antiques
All of the modern appliances Internet boxes and TV are all hidden in closets so that they are not visible It makes for a very appealing deacutecor
Although the rooms appear to only have one bed in the matter of a few moments Michelle had the
couch taken apart and the bed folded down out of the wall for a second bed
The bathrooms are absolute marvels with big tubs and glass showers
The parking for the hotel rooms is hidden behind a row of trees so that there is no real visual of anything modern on the face of things
From the hotel rooms we got back in the electric cart and headed towards the ldquoruinsrdquo Although many of the duplexes have been restored Michelle explained to us that the style of construction for the company houses had been changed and that
the newer houses had collapsed on themselves Some of the buildings are slated for restoration but many are too far-gone The streets they line are preserved so that one can walk by the ruins and get a feel for how large this town really was and how well laid out it was
Our next stop was the Mill Impressive is a good word to describe this place We had our lunch in the Old Mill Restaurant The food served here complimented the
atmosphere ndash IMPECCABLEThe chef Carl Murray has a great reputation that
he totally lives up toThe service
the food the atmosphere and the company were all top drawer
After our fabulous meal it was time to head to the tram and go experience the waterfalls
The ride up to the top gives you the most magnificent view of the region The Ouiatchouan Falls are some 65 feet higher than the Niagara Falls
and the power of them is palpable The rushing water is almost deafening as you walk out on to the glass observation deck
From the falls we walked down to the mill again and took in the most impressive interactive show I have ever experienced In the underbelly of the once abandoned mill amongst all of the monster gearing and shafts the lights go dim you feel the mist in the air and all of a sudden the walls become alive with characters from the original town and they take you through the historical timeline of the village and its people
It is absolutely captivating you become totally involved in the lives and the hardship of the villagers
The show signaled the end of our tour and Michelle took us back to the visitor information centre and sent us all off with gifts of blueberry jam and blueberry tea to remember our visit by
My bike had been acting up off and on and I had been keeping an eye out on a leak coming from the front of the engine The noise from the shifter region was becoming louder but I wasnrsquot experiencing any power loss so I kept an ear out and we kept riding
Our next stop was at the Cheddar Cheese Museum in Saint-Prime where a sweet young man took us on a tour
He showed us the old-fashioned way cheddar cheese was made and then we got to tour the museum portion of the factory 4 generations of the family Perron have made cheddar cheese here
The museum has over 650 artifacts that involve the familyrsquos history in cheese making including the stamps and other machinery used in exporting the cheese
The Cheddar Cheese Museum offers interactive displays and hosts several workshops on the art of making cheddar Upstairs you can view the family home of the Perronrsquos and see all of the period specific furnishings
Along with guided tours you can also sample the various types of cheddar cheese which we did and oh my I have never tasted cheddar that was so smooth and rich
After thanking our young guide for the fabulous tour we headed off
We stopped at Tim Hortonrsquos for a coffee and sitting out on the curb in front of my bike I could see the leak was getting worse I was very concerned and asked if there was a shop nearby where I could at least check the oil level in my primary
Rejean talked to one of the local riders Denis AKA Tarte au Sucre (Sweet Pie) and he took us to Carl Tremblayrsquos shop Carl is a mechanic that many here swear by His rates are far cheaper than the dealerships and every rider in the region says hersquos a guru He took the primary apart and sure
enough discovered that the compensating sprocket was dead and the stator was leaking With parts ordered and Rejeanrsquos wife going to the Harley shop to pick them up Francine Lynne Rejean and Denis rode me to my hotel the Motel Chutes des Pegraveres in Dolbeau-Mistassini My gear and luggage was distributed over three of the four bikes
By the time we got in it was dark and everyone had to head home I enjoyed a wonderful steak for supper and then headed off to my beautiful room and after a boiling hot pounding shower I climbed into the queen-sized bed and with the sound of the falls lulling me to sleep
And thatrsquos where I will leave you until next weekhellipBelt Drive Betty

1 - Yoursquoll Become a Better DriverTherersquos no doubt that riding a motorcycle has its
benefits especially when it comes to driving a car Riding a motorcycle teaches you to look out for people who are trying to kill you yoursquoll see hazards sooner and yoursquoll end up with Ninja-like machine control So when it comes to driving yoursquoll put all that to work and be a cut above the rest Hopefully
2 - Everyone Wants To Talk To YouIt really doesnrsquot matter what kind of motorcycle
you ride yoursquoll find middle-aged men stare at you and your bike with a dreamy lust before giving you an unwanted compliment Chances are theyrsquoll have no idea what the bike is either
Choose a classic or even worse a modern classic and yoursquoll become a magnet for old men who have the knack of being able to have a conversation with you without you needing to add any input Yoursquoll reach for your helmet on more than one occasion but not be able to put in on and leave because theyrsquoll ask you a question when you try Yoursquoll be subjected to questions about your
bike that you donrsquot know the answer to or even care about
The conversation will go something like this Is that a Triumph I had a Triumph once (followed by 10 minutes of ldquoback in my day rdquo)
3 - When You Say Yoursquore A Biker This Is The First Image That
Comes To Peoplehellip
5 Things They Never Told You About Becoming A Bikerby Robert Whaley NW Ontario Motorcycling
You could be a nice guy you could have something that resembles a career you could do the occasional BBQ it doesnrsquot matter When you mention to anyone at a party that yoursquove got a motorcycle a picture of this guy will pop into their head Then as you explain that you donrsquot ride a cruiser and yoursquove got a sportsbike theyrsquoll just think yoursquore speaking Greek and will reevaluate you as some sort of nut job who tries to kill himself on the highways Itrsquos a no-win
4 - Bees and Other Flying Things Will Start To Scare You
Anything flying will scare you When yoursquore sitting around at a family BBQ and everyone starts going mental the moment a bee or a wasp arrives on the scene you sit there perfectly calm and wonder what all the fuss is about
However - when yoursquore on a bike itrsquos a different story There you are riding along on a nice sunny day with your visor up enjoying the countryside and the winding road in front of you
Then you spot it 50 metres away a large insect looks like its stopped going about its daily business and itrsquos homing in at you instead Before you can do anything about it it goes THHHHHWAP right on your cheek Close but luckily it didnrsquot get you in the eye Then you panic the little bastardrsquos still in your helmet You insert a clumsy leather-clad finger and try and flick whatever it is away but probably end up pissing it off even further Then you crank on the brakes and perform the worldrsquos fastest lid removal followed by a little bit of a flappy-armed dance
5 - You Canrsquot Figure Out Who To Wave ToWhen you get a motorcycle you become part of a
club Itrsquos a club no biker really talks about but yoursquore in it now and yoursquore not allowed to leave Ever When you first pass your test yoursquoll wave at anyone and everyone If yoursquore heading down a road and a dog looks at you the right way yoursquoll probably wave at him too
Unfortunately this will change There are no set rules as to how it will change but yoursquoll end up developing your own code Me I wave at everyone dogs too and donrsquot give a second thought to the riders that donrsquot wave back But thatrsquos just me Yoursquoll have to work out your own code
Breaking is one of the most important things that you will learn to do on a motorcycle When we first learn to ride we are taught techniques to protect ourselves from crashing such as breaking shifting and countersteering But generally the most effective way to avoid an accident is through proper use of the brakes
The rear brake in particular is probably one of the least understood controls on a motorcycle Many riders donrsquot use the rear brake at all claiming that it doesnrsquot actually aid in slowing down or stopping the bike and say that it locks up the rear tire when trying to use it In fact most experts agree that a balanced use of both the front and rear brake is the most effective way of slowing or stopping a motorcycle
The rear brake also plays a huge role in adding stability to the bike when maneuvering
Because of the weight distribution on a motorcycle the braking balance of stopping power between the front and rear is 70 on the front and 30 on the rear This should tell you that if you donrsquot use the rear brake at all you are loosing 30 of the potential stopping power on your bike This could become a critical factor if you find yourself in trouble and have to try
and avoid an accident
Why does the rear brake lock up Well once again it has to do with weight distribution When you find yourself in a braking situation and start applying the brakes the geometry of the bike changes (due partly to the suspension) and much of the total weight (bike + rider) is transferred to the front This allows the rider to apply much more front brake than rear brake (the 7030 ratio)
Learning the finer points of your bikersquos braking performance is the key to keeping your bike in control It is a good idea to explore those limits in a safe environment
Practice repeated stops in an abandoned parking lot and yoursquoll start to get a feel for the amount of
effort that triggers tire slippage or rear tire lock-up
Try stopping with your front brake only then rear only and then a combination of both Once you become more familiar with your bikersquos brakes the sensations of weight transfer will start to feel more apparent and familiar That way yoursquoll be much more aware of the limits of your bike and yoursquoll be much better prepared in stopping

CAV To Hold AGM During ATLANTICADE (Summerside PE)
ndash The relationship started off by accident back in 2007 in
Moncton during the inaugural Atlanticade eventldquoI saw these guys who were hanging around
together with CAV crests on their vests and didnrsquot really know who they wererdquo says Dale Hicks festival founder and chairman Hicks began to connect the dots on the final day when the closing parade ended at the local veteranrsquos health care center and the CAV riders were very engaged with the vets ldquoSo I starting asking ndash who are these guys and what does CAV stand forrdquo
That was over seven years ago and now the relationship between Atlanticade and the Canadian Army Veterans is as strong a bond as you will find anywhere in the world of motorcycle events
ldquoOnce we became aware of who the CAV group was and what they represented I said well this group reflects the best of what it means to be Canadian so we certainly wanted to build a relationship with themrdquo recalls Hicks
Since then CAV has played a significant role in some form or fashion at each Atlanticade event The festival now has a
ldquoSupport the Troopsrdquo activity incorporated into the schedule each year where CAV plays a lead role In addition CAV will also be found leading parades such as the Confederation Bridge Cruise and the Parade of Iron Horses
In fact in 2011 Hicks was surprised and honored to be presented with an
honorary membership into the CAV organization at the closing awards breakfast at the Algonquin Hotel in St Andrews
ldquoYeah they caught me off guard with that and I certainly was humbled and honored by to be presented the crest by Trapperrdquo says Hicks ldquoI donrsquot feel worthy of wearing the crest but I do sport it proudly at certain times during Atlanticaderdquo
The unique bond between the two organizations continues for the upcoming 8th annual festival being held in Summerside PEI from June 27th to
Continued Next Page
(Atlanticade chairman Dale Hicks had just presented Trapper Cane with the annual ldquoExperienced Rider Awardrdquo
when Cane turned the tables by presenting Hicks with his honorary CAV membership during the 2011 event)
July 1st Recenty CAV founder Paul (Trapper) Cane announced the grouprsquos annual general meeting will take place in Summerside in conjunction with Atlanticade
ldquoAtlanticade brings great energy to all riders and our CAV members certainly appreciate the extra efforts put forth by Dalersquos team to give us some profile at the eventrdquo says Cane ldquoNo doubt it has been a great relationship between the two organizations and we hope it continues well into the futurerdquo
For his part Hicks says that Atlanticade is very proud to be able to host the CAV ndash AGM as part of the 2014 festival ldquoWe always have a good turnout of CAV members at our event but this will mean an additional boost in participants from across the country We hope we can make it a little special for them and something they will remember years down the roadrdquo

From the falls we walked down to the mill again and took in the most impressive interactive show I have ever experienced In the underbelly of the once abandoned mill amongst all of the monster gearing and shafts the lights go dim you feel the mist in the air and all of a sudden the walls become alive with characters from the original town and they take you through the historical timeline of the village and its people
It is absolutely captivating you become totally involved in the lives and the hardship of the villagers
The show signaled the end of our tour and Michelle took us back to the visitor information centre and sent us all off with gifts of blueberry jam and blueberry tea to remember our visit by
My bike had been acting up off and on and I had been keeping an eye out on a leak coming from the front of the engine The noise from the shifter region was becoming louder but I wasnrsquot experiencing any power loss so I kept an ear out and we kept riding
Our next stop was at the Cheddar Cheese Museum in Saint-Prime where a sweet young man took us on a tour
He showed us the old-fashioned way cheddar cheese was made and then we got to tour the museum portion of the factory 4 generations of the family Perron have made cheddar cheese here
The museum has over 650 artifacts that involve the familyrsquos history in cheese making including the stamps and other machinery used in exporting the cheese
The Cheddar Cheese Museum offers interactive displays and hosts several workshops on the art of making cheddar Upstairs you can view the family home of the Perronrsquos and see all of the period specific furnishings
Along with guided tours you can also sample the various types of cheddar cheese which we did and oh my I have never tasted cheddar that was so smooth and rich
After thanking our young guide for the fabulous tour we headed off
We stopped at Tim Hortonrsquos for a coffee and sitting out on the curb in front of my bike I could see the leak was getting worse I was very concerned and asked if there was a shop nearby where I could at least check the oil level in my primary
Rejean talked to one of the local riders Denis AKA Tarte au Sucre (Sweet Pie) and he took us to Carl Tremblayrsquos shop Carl is a mechanic that many here swear by His rates are far cheaper than the dealerships and every rider in the region says hersquos a guru He took the primary apart and sure
enough discovered that the compensating sprocket was dead and the stator was leaking With parts ordered and Rejeanrsquos wife going to the Harley shop to pick them up Francine Lynne Rejean and Denis rode me to my hotel the Motel Chutes des Pegraveres in Dolbeau-Mistassini My gear and luggage was distributed over three of the four bikes
By the time we got in it was dark and everyone had to head home I enjoyed a wonderful steak for supper and then headed off to my beautiful room and after a boiling hot pounding shower I climbed into the queen-sized bed and with the sound of the falls lulling me to sleep
And thatrsquos where I will leave you until next weekhellipBelt Drive Betty

1 - Yoursquoll Become a Better DriverTherersquos no doubt that riding a motorcycle has its
benefits especially when it comes to driving a car Riding a motorcycle teaches you to look out for people who are trying to kill you yoursquoll see hazards sooner and yoursquoll end up with Ninja-like machine control So when it comes to driving yoursquoll put all that to work and be a cut above the rest Hopefully
2 - Everyone Wants To Talk To YouIt really doesnrsquot matter what kind of motorcycle
you ride yoursquoll find middle-aged men stare at you and your bike with a dreamy lust before giving you an unwanted compliment Chances are theyrsquoll have no idea what the bike is either
Choose a classic or even worse a modern classic and yoursquoll become a magnet for old men who have the knack of being able to have a conversation with you without you needing to add any input Yoursquoll reach for your helmet on more than one occasion but not be able to put in on and leave because theyrsquoll ask you a question when you try Yoursquoll be subjected to questions about your
bike that you donrsquot know the answer to or even care about
The conversation will go something like this Is that a Triumph I had a Triumph once (followed by 10 minutes of ldquoback in my day rdquo)
3 - When You Say Yoursquore A Biker This Is The First Image That
Comes To Peoplehellip
5 Things They Never Told You About Becoming A Bikerby Robert Whaley NW Ontario Motorcycling
You could be a nice guy you could have something that resembles a career you could do the occasional BBQ it doesnrsquot matter When you mention to anyone at a party that yoursquove got a motorcycle a picture of this guy will pop into their head Then as you explain that you donrsquot ride a cruiser and yoursquove got a sportsbike theyrsquoll just think yoursquore speaking Greek and will reevaluate you as some sort of nut job who tries to kill himself on the highways Itrsquos a no-win
4 - Bees and Other Flying Things Will Start To Scare You
Anything flying will scare you When yoursquore sitting around at a family BBQ and everyone starts going mental the moment a bee or a wasp arrives on the scene you sit there perfectly calm and wonder what all the fuss is about
However - when yoursquore on a bike itrsquos a different story There you are riding along on a nice sunny day with your visor up enjoying the countryside and the winding road in front of you
Then you spot it 50 metres away a large insect looks like its stopped going about its daily business and itrsquos homing in at you instead Before you can do anything about it it goes THHHHHWAP right on your cheek Close but luckily it didnrsquot get you in the eye Then you panic the little bastardrsquos still in your helmet You insert a clumsy leather-clad finger and try and flick whatever it is away but probably end up pissing it off even further Then you crank on the brakes and perform the worldrsquos fastest lid removal followed by a little bit of a flappy-armed dance
5 - You Canrsquot Figure Out Who To Wave ToWhen you get a motorcycle you become part of a
club Itrsquos a club no biker really talks about but yoursquore in it now and yoursquore not allowed to leave Ever When you first pass your test yoursquoll wave at anyone and everyone If yoursquore heading down a road and a dog looks at you the right way yoursquoll probably wave at him too
Unfortunately this will change There are no set rules as to how it will change but yoursquoll end up developing your own code Me I wave at everyone dogs too and donrsquot give a second thought to the riders that donrsquot wave back But thatrsquos just me Yoursquoll have to work out your own code
Breaking is one of the most important things that you will learn to do on a motorcycle When we first learn to ride we are taught techniques to protect ourselves from crashing such as breaking shifting and countersteering But generally the most effective way to avoid an accident is through proper use of the brakes
The rear brake in particular is probably one of the least understood controls on a motorcycle Many riders donrsquot use the rear brake at all claiming that it doesnrsquot actually aid in slowing down or stopping the bike and say that it locks up the rear tire when trying to use it In fact most experts agree that a balanced use of both the front and rear brake is the most effective way of slowing or stopping a motorcycle
The rear brake also plays a huge role in adding stability to the bike when maneuvering
Because of the weight distribution on a motorcycle the braking balance of stopping power between the front and rear is 70 on the front and 30 on the rear This should tell you that if you donrsquot use the rear brake at all you are loosing 30 of the potential stopping power on your bike This could become a critical factor if you find yourself in trouble and have to try
and avoid an accident
Why does the rear brake lock up Well once again it has to do with weight distribution When you find yourself in a braking situation and start applying the brakes the geometry of the bike changes (due partly to the suspension) and much of the total weight (bike + rider) is transferred to the front This allows the rider to apply much more front brake than rear brake (the 7030 ratio)
Learning the finer points of your bikersquos braking performance is the key to keeping your bike in control It is a good idea to explore those limits in a safe environment
Practice repeated stops in an abandoned parking lot and yoursquoll start to get a feel for the amount of
effort that triggers tire slippage or rear tire lock-up
Try stopping with your front brake only then rear only and then a combination of both Once you become more familiar with your bikersquos brakes the sensations of weight transfer will start to feel more apparent and familiar That way yoursquoll be much more aware of the limits of your bike and yoursquoll be much better prepared in stopping

CAV To Hold AGM During ATLANTICADE (Summerside PE)
ndash The relationship started off by accident back in 2007 in
Moncton during the inaugural Atlanticade eventldquoI saw these guys who were hanging around
together with CAV crests on their vests and didnrsquot really know who they wererdquo says Dale Hicks festival founder and chairman Hicks began to connect the dots on the final day when the closing parade ended at the local veteranrsquos health care center and the CAV riders were very engaged with the vets ldquoSo I starting asking ndash who are these guys and what does CAV stand forrdquo
That was over seven years ago and now the relationship between Atlanticade and the Canadian Army Veterans is as strong a bond as you will find anywhere in the world of motorcycle events
ldquoOnce we became aware of who the CAV group was and what they represented I said well this group reflects the best of what it means to be Canadian so we certainly wanted to build a relationship with themrdquo recalls Hicks
Since then CAV has played a significant role in some form or fashion at each Atlanticade event The festival now has a
ldquoSupport the Troopsrdquo activity incorporated into the schedule each year where CAV plays a lead role In addition CAV will also be found leading parades such as the Confederation Bridge Cruise and the Parade of Iron Horses
In fact in 2011 Hicks was surprised and honored to be presented with an
honorary membership into the CAV organization at the closing awards breakfast at the Algonquin Hotel in St Andrews
ldquoYeah they caught me off guard with that and I certainly was humbled and honored by to be presented the crest by Trapperrdquo says Hicks ldquoI donrsquot feel worthy of wearing the crest but I do sport it proudly at certain times during Atlanticaderdquo
The unique bond between the two organizations continues for the upcoming 8th annual festival being held in Summerside PEI from June 27th to
Continued Next Page
(Atlanticade chairman Dale Hicks had just presented Trapper Cane with the annual ldquoExperienced Rider Awardrdquo
when Cane turned the tables by presenting Hicks with his honorary CAV membership during the 2011 event)
July 1st Recenty CAV founder Paul (Trapper) Cane announced the grouprsquos annual general meeting will take place in Summerside in conjunction with Atlanticade
ldquoAtlanticade brings great energy to all riders and our CAV members certainly appreciate the extra efforts put forth by Dalersquos team to give us some profile at the eventrdquo says Cane ldquoNo doubt it has been a great relationship between the two organizations and we hope it continues well into the futurerdquo
For his part Hicks says that Atlanticade is very proud to be able to host the CAV ndash AGM as part of the 2014 festival ldquoWe always have a good turnout of CAV members at our event but this will mean an additional boost in participants from across the country We hope we can make it a little special for them and something they will remember years down the roadrdquo

and take a step up Pretty soon everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted offAnd the moral ishellip Life is going to shovel dirt on you all kinds of dirt The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up Each of our troubles is a steppingstone We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping never giving up Shake it off and take a step up

place to preserve the history and they have done an incredible job
Our first stop on the tour was the convent school where we met ldquoMother Superiorrdquo who took us through the school and answered our questions She was stern but I think there was a glint of mischief in her eyes as she ldquodisciplinedrdquo us on proper etiquette
There was the most amazing art display in
one room and in another the historical timeline of the residents of Val-Jalbert to take in The antiques and furnishings truly made you feel you were stuck in a time warp
After touring the school we headed towards the post office The ldquopostmistressrdquo was this chatty little gal that had us peeing ourselves we were laughing so hard It was pretty cool to see the old stamps and the various bits of equipment of the day
We walked up the street to take a tour of the restored duplexes that line the main street You have to see these places to truly appreciate them Imagine 1910 and you can flip a switch and have lights turn a tap and have water flush a toilet and not have to walk to the outhouse
These company houses were so well built and the people who lived here were fiercely loyal to the company that treated them so well
From the duplexes we went to the general store where we ran into the ldquoMayorrdquo the only person in town to have a car The general store offers up everything a visitor could need plus acts as a museum with lots of interesting period pieces on display
Michelle had gotten keys to show us the duplexes that have been upgraded and make up the 4 star accommodations offered here
We walked across the street and were taken to view to the most amazing hotel rooms
Rustic and yet modern these rooms are spacious well appointed and every one of them has unique little shadow boxes filled with antiques
All of the modern appliances Internet boxes and TV are all hidden in closets so that they are not visible It makes for a very appealing deacutecor
Although the rooms appear to only have one bed in the matter of a few moments Michelle had the
couch taken apart and the bed folded down out of the wall for a second bed
The bathrooms are absolute marvels with big tubs and glass showers
The parking for the hotel rooms is hidden behind a row of trees so that there is no real visual of anything modern on the face of things
From the hotel rooms we got back in the electric cart and headed towards the ldquoruinsrdquo Although many of the duplexes have been restored Michelle explained to us that the style of construction for the company houses had been changed and that
the newer houses had collapsed on themselves Some of the buildings are slated for restoration but many are too far-gone The streets they line are preserved so that one can walk by the ruins and get a feel for how large this town really was and how well laid out it was
Our next stop was the Mill Impressive is a good word to describe this place We had our lunch in the Old Mill Restaurant The food served here complimented the
atmosphere ndash IMPECCABLEThe chef Carl Murray has a great reputation that
he totally lives up toThe service
the food the atmosphere and the company were all top drawer
After our fabulous meal it was time to head to the tram and go experience the waterfalls
The ride up to the top gives you the most magnificent view of the region The Ouiatchouan Falls are some 65 feet higher than the Niagara Falls
and the power of them is palpable The rushing water is almost deafening as you walk out on to the glass observation deck
From the falls we walked down to the mill again and took in the most impressive interactive show I have ever experienced In the underbelly of the once abandoned mill amongst all of the monster gearing and shafts the lights go dim you feel the mist in the air and all of a sudden the walls become alive with characters from the original town and they take you through the historical timeline of the village and its people
It is absolutely captivating you become totally involved in the lives and the hardship of the villagers
The show signaled the end of our tour and Michelle took us back to the visitor information centre and sent us all off with gifts of blueberry jam and blueberry tea to remember our visit by
My bike had been acting up off and on and I had been keeping an eye out on a leak coming from the front of the engine The noise from the shifter region was becoming louder but I wasnrsquot experiencing any power loss so I kept an ear out and we kept riding
Our next stop was at the Cheddar Cheese Museum in Saint-Prime where a sweet young man took us on a tour
He showed us the old-fashioned way cheddar cheese was made and then we got to tour the museum portion of the factory 4 generations of the family Perron have made cheddar cheese here

By the time we got in it was dark and everyone had to head home I enjoyed a wonderful steak for supper and then headed off to my beautiful room and after a boiling hot pounding shower I climbed into the queen-sized bed and with the sound of the falls lulling me to sleep

Then you spot it 50 metres away a large insect looks like its stopped going about its daily business and itrsquos homing in at you instead Before you can do anything about it it goes THHHHHWAP right on your cheek Close but luckily it didnrsquot get you in the eye Then you panic the little bastardrsquos still in your helmet You insert a clumsy leather-clad finger and try and flick whatever it is away but probably end up pissing it off even further Then you crank on the brakes and perform the worldrsquos fastest lid removal followed by a little bit of a flappy-armed dance
5 - You Canrsquot Figure Out Who To Wave ToWhen you get a motorcycle you become part of a
club Itrsquos a club no biker really talks about but yoursquore in it now and yoursquore not allowed to leave Ever When you first pass your test yoursquoll wave at anyone and everyone If yoursquore heading down a road and a dog looks at you the right way yoursquoll probably wave at him too
Unfortunately this will change There are no set rules as to how it will change but yoursquoll end up developing your own code Me I wave at everyone dogs too and donrsquot give a second thought to the riders that donrsquot wave back But thatrsquos just me Yoursquoll have to work out your own code
Breaking is one of the most important things that you will learn to do on a motorcycle When we first learn to ride we are taught techniques to protect ourselves from crashing such as breaking shifting and countersteering But generally the most effective way to avoid an accident is through proper use of the brakes
The rear brake in particular is probably one of the least understood controls on a motorcycle Many riders donrsquot use the rear brake at all claiming that it doesnrsquot actually aid in slowing down or stopping the bike and say that it locks up the rear tire when trying to use it In fact most experts agree that a balanced use of both the front and rear brake is the most effective way of slowing or stopping a motorcycle
The rear brake also plays a huge role in adding stability to the bike when maneuvering
Because of the weight distribution on a motorcycle the braking balance of stopping power between the front and rear is 70 on the front and 30 on the rear This should tell you that if you donrsquot use the rear brake at all you are loosing 30 of the potential stopping power on your bike This could become a critical factor if you find yourself in trouble and have to try
and avoid an accident
Why does the rear brake lock up Well once again it has to do with weight distribution When you find yourself in a braking situation and start applying the brakes the geometry of the bike changes (due partly to the suspension) and much of the total weight (bike + rider) is transferred to the front This allows the rider to apply much more front brake than rear brake (the 7030 ratio)
Learning the finer points of your bikersquos braking performance is the key to keeping your bike in control It is a good idea to explore those limits in a safe environment
Practice repeated stops in an abandoned parking lot and yoursquoll start to get a feel for the amount of
effort that triggers tire slippage or rear tire lock-up
Try stopping with your front brake only then rear only and then a combination of both Once you become more familiar with your bikersquos brakes the sensations of weight transfer will start to feel more apparent and familiar That way yoursquoll be much more aware of the limits of your bike and yoursquoll be much better prepared in stopping

CAV To Hold AGM During ATLANTICADE (Summerside PE)
ndash The relationship started off by accident back in 2007 in
Moncton during the inaugural Atlanticade eventldquoI saw these guys who were hanging around
together with CAV crests on their vests and didnrsquot really know who they wererdquo says Dale Hicks festival founder and chairman Hicks began to connect the dots on the final day when the closing parade ended at the local veteranrsquos health care center and the CAV riders were very engaged with the vets ldquoSo I starting asking ndash who are these guys and what does CAV stand forrdquo
That was over seven years ago and now the relationship between Atlanticade and the Canadian Army Veterans is as strong a bond as you will find anywhere in the world of motorcycle events
ldquoOnce we became aware of who the CAV group was and what they represented I said well this group reflects the best of what it means to be Canadian so we certainly wanted to build a relationship with themrdquo recalls Hicks
Since then CAV has played a significant role in some form or fashion at each Atlanticade event The festival now has a
ldquoSupport the Troopsrdquo activity incorporated into the schedule each year where CAV plays a lead role In addition CAV will also be found leading parades such as the Confederation Bridge Cruise and the Parade of Iron Horses
In fact in 2011 Hicks was surprised and honored to be presented with an
honorary membership into the CAV organization at the closing awards breakfast at the Algonquin Hotel in St Andrews
ldquoYeah they caught me off guard with that and I certainly was humbled and honored by to be presented the crest by Trapperrdquo says Hicks ldquoI donrsquot feel worthy of wearing the crest but I do sport it proudly at certain times during Atlanticaderdquo
The unique bond between the two organizations continues for the upcoming 8th annual festival being held in Summerside PEI from June 27th to
Continued Next Page
(Atlanticade chairman Dale Hicks had just presented Trapper Cane with the annual ldquoExperienced Rider Awardrdquo
when Cane turned the tables by presenting Hicks with his honorary CAV membership during the 2011 event)
July 1st Recenty CAV founder Paul (Trapper) Cane announced the grouprsquos annual general meeting will take place in Summerside in conjunction with Atlanticade
ldquoAtlanticade brings great energy to all riders and our CAV members certainly appreciate the extra efforts put forth by Dalersquos team to give us some profile at the eventrdquo says Cane ldquoNo doubt it has been a great relationship between the two organizations and we hope it continues well into the futurerdquo
For his part Hicks says that Atlanticade is very proud to be able to host the CAV ndash AGM as part of the 2014 festival ldquoWe always have a good turnout of CAV members at our event but this will mean an additional boost in participants from across the country We hope we can make it a little special for them and something they will remember years down the roadrdquo

and take a step up Pretty soon everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted offAnd the moral ishellip Life is going to shovel dirt on you all kinds of dirt The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up Each of our troubles is a steppingstone We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping never giving up Shake it off and take a step up

We walked up the street to take a tour of the restored duplexes that line the main street You have to see these places to truly appreciate them Imagine 1910 and you can flip a switch and have lights turn a tap and have water flush a toilet and not have to walk to the outhouse
These company houses were so well built and the people who lived here were fiercely loyal to the company that treated them so well
From the duplexes we went to the general store where we ran into the ldquoMayorrdquo the only person in town to have a car The general store offers up everything a visitor could need plus acts as a museum with lots of interesting period pieces on display
Michelle had gotten keys to show us the duplexes that have been upgraded and make up the 4 star accommodations offered here
We walked across the street and were taken to view to the most amazing hotel rooms
Rustic and yet modern these rooms are spacious well appointed and every one of them has unique little shadow boxes filled with antiques
All of the modern appliances Internet boxes and TV are all hidden in closets so that they are not visible It makes for a very appealing deacutecor
Although the rooms appear to only have one bed in the matter of a few moments Michelle had the
couch taken apart and the bed folded down out of the wall for a second bed
The bathrooms are absolute marvels with big tubs and glass showers
The parking for the hotel rooms is hidden behind a row of trees so that there is no real visual of anything modern on the face of things
From the hotel rooms we got back in the electric cart and headed towards the ldquoruinsrdquo Although many of the duplexes have been restored Michelle explained to us that the style of construction for the company houses had been changed and that
the newer houses had collapsed on themselves Some of the buildings are slated for restoration but many are too far-gone The streets they line are preserved so that one can walk by the ruins and get a feel for how large this town really was and how well laid out it was
Our next stop was the Mill Impressive is a good word to describe this place We had our lunch in the Old Mill Restaurant The food served here complimented the
atmosphere ndash IMPECCABLEThe chef Carl Murray has a great reputation that
he totally lives up toThe service
the food the atmosphere and the company were all top drawer
After our fabulous meal it was time to head to the tram and go experience the waterfalls
The ride up to the top gives you the most magnificent view of the region The Ouiatchouan Falls are some 65 feet higher than the Niagara Falls
and the power of them is palpable The rushing water is almost deafening as you walk out on to the glass observation deck
From the falls we walked down to the mill again and took in the most impressive interactive show I have ever experienced In the underbelly of the once abandoned mill amongst all of the monster gearing and shafts the lights go dim you feel the mist in the air and all of a sudden the walls become alive with characters from the original town and they take you through the historical timeline of the village and its people
It is absolutely captivating you become totally involved in the lives and the hardship of the villagers
The show signaled the end of our tour and Michelle took us back to the visitor information centre and sent us all off with gifts of blueberry jam and blueberry tea to remember our visit by
My bike had been acting up off and on and I had been keeping an eye out on a leak coming from the front of the engine The noise from the shifter region was becoming louder but I wasnrsquot experiencing any power loss so I kept an ear out and we kept riding
Our next stop was at the Cheddar Cheese Museum in Saint-Prime where a sweet young man took us on a tour
He showed us the old-fashioned way cheddar cheese was made and then we got to tour the museum portion of the factory 4 generations of the family Perron have made cheddar cheese here
The museum has over 650 artifacts that involve the familyrsquos history in cheese making including the stamps and other machinery used in exporting the cheese
The Cheddar Cheese Museum offers interactive displays and hosts several workshops on the art of making cheddar Upstairs you can view the family home of the Perronrsquos and see all of the period specific furnishings
Along with guided tours you can also sample the various types of cheddar cheese which we did and oh my I have never tasted cheddar that was so smooth and rich
After thanking our young guide for the fabulous tour we headed off
We stopped at Tim Hortonrsquos for a coffee and sitting out on the curb in front of my bike I could see the leak was getting worse I was very concerned and asked if there was a shop nearby where I could at least check the oil level in my primary
Rejean talked to one of the local riders Denis AKA Tarte au Sucre (Sweet Pie) and he took us to Carl Tremblayrsquos shop Carl is a mechanic that many here swear by His rates are far cheaper than the dealerships and every rider in the region says hersquos a guru He took the primary apart and sure
enough discovered that the compensating sprocket was dead and the stator was leaking With parts ordered and Rejeanrsquos wife going to the Harley shop to pick them up Francine Lynne Rejean and Denis rode me to my hotel the Motel Chutes des Pegraveres in Dolbeau-Mistassini My gear and luggage was distributed over three of the four bikes
By the time we got in it was dark and everyone had to head home I enjoyed a wonderful steak for supper and then headed off to my beautiful room and after a boiling hot pounding shower I climbed into the queen-sized bed and with the sound of the falls lulling me to sleep
And thatrsquos where I will leave you until next weekhellipBelt Drive Betty

1 - Yoursquoll Become a Better DriverTherersquos no doubt that riding a motorcycle has its
benefits especially when it comes to driving a car Riding a motorcycle teaches you to look out for people who are trying to kill you yoursquoll see hazards sooner and yoursquoll end up with Ninja-like machine control So when it comes to driving yoursquoll put all that to work and be a cut above the rest Hopefully
2 - Everyone Wants To Talk To YouIt really doesnrsquot matter what kind of motorcycle
you ride yoursquoll find middle-aged men stare at you and your bike with a dreamy lust before giving you an unwanted compliment Chances are theyrsquoll have no idea what the bike is either
Choose a classic or even worse a modern classic and yoursquoll become a magnet for old men who have the knack of being able to have a conversation with you without you needing to add any input Yoursquoll reach for your helmet on more than one occasion but not be able to put in on and leave because theyrsquoll ask you a question when you try Yoursquoll be subjected to questions about your
bike that you donrsquot know the answer to or even care about
The conversation will go something like this Is that a Triumph I had a Triumph once (followed by 10 minutes of ldquoback in my day rdquo)
3 - When You Say Yoursquore A Biker This Is The First Image That
Comes To Peoplehellip
5 Things They Never Told You About Becoming A Bikerby Robert Whaley NW Ontario Motorcycling
You could be a nice guy you could have something that resembles a career you could do the occasional BBQ it doesnrsquot matter When you mention to anyone at a party that yoursquove got a motorcycle a picture of this guy will pop into their head Then as you explain that you donrsquot ride a cruiser and yoursquove got a sportsbike theyrsquoll just think yoursquore speaking Greek and will reevaluate you as some sort of nut job who tries to kill himself on the highways Itrsquos a no-win
4 - Bees and Other Flying Things Will Start To Scare You
Anything flying will scare you When yoursquore sitting around at a family BBQ and everyone starts going mental the moment a bee or a wasp arrives on the scene you sit there perfectly calm and wonder what all the fuss is about
However - when yoursquore on a bike itrsquos a different story There you are riding along on a nice sunny day with your visor up enjoying the countryside and the winding road in front of you

5 - You Canrsquot Figure Out Who To Wave ToWhen you get a motorcycle you become part of a

CAV To Hold AGM During ATLANTICADE (Summerside PE)
ndash The relationship started off by accident back in 2007 in
Moncton during the inaugural Atlanticade eventldquoI saw these guys who were hanging around
together with CAV crests on their vests and didnrsquot really know who they wererdquo says Dale Hicks festival founder and chairman Hicks began to connect the dots on the final day when the closing parade ended at the local veteranrsquos health care center and the CAV riders were very engaged with the vets ldquoSo I starting asking ndash who are these guys and what does CAV stand forrdquo
That was over seven years ago and now the relationship between Atlanticade and the Canadian Army Veterans is as strong a bond as you will find anywhere in the world of motorcycle events
ldquoOnce we became aware of who the CAV group was and what they represented I said well this group reflects the best of what it means to be Canadian so we certainly wanted to build a relationship with themrdquo recalls Hicks
Since then CAV has played a significant role in some form or fashion at each Atlanticade event The festival now has a
ldquoSupport the Troopsrdquo activity incorporated into the schedule each year where CAV plays a lead role In addition CAV will also be found leading parades such as the Confederation Bridge Cruise and the Parade of Iron Horses
In fact in 2011 Hicks was surprised and honored to be presented with an
honorary membership into the CAV organization at the closing awards breakfast at the Algonquin Hotel in St Andrews
ldquoYeah they caught me off guard with that and I certainly was humbled and honored by to be presented the crest by Trapperrdquo says Hicks ldquoI donrsquot feel worthy of wearing the crest but I do sport it proudly at certain times during Atlanticaderdquo
The unique bond between the two organizations continues for the upcoming 8th annual festival being held in Summerside PEI from June 27th to

the newer houses had collapsed on themselves Some of the buildings are slated for restoration but many are too far-gone The streets they line are preserved so that one can walk by the ruins and get a feel for how large this town really was and how well laid out it was
Our next stop was the Mill Impressive is a good word to describe this place We had our lunch in the Old Mill Restaurant The food served here complimented the
atmosphere ndash IMPECCABLEThe chef Carl Murray has a great reputation that
he totally lives up toThe service
the food the atmosphere and the company were all top drawer
After our fabulous meal it was time to head to the tram and go experience the waterfalls
The ride up to the top gives you the most magnificent view of the region The Ouiatchouan Falls are some 65 feet higher than the Niagara Falls
and the power of them is palpable The rushing water is almost deafening as you walk out on to the glass observation deck
From the falls we walked down to the mill again and took in the most impressive interactive show I have ever experienced In the underbelly of the once abandoned mill amongst all of the monster gearing and shafts the lights go dim you feel the mist in the air and all of a sudden the walls become alive with characters from the original town and they take you through the historical timeline of the village and its people
It is absolutely captivating you become totally involved in the lives and the hardship of the villagers
The show signaled the end of our tour and Michelle took us back to the visitor information centre and sent us all off with gifts of blueberry jam and blueberry tea to remember our visit by
My bike had been acting up off and on and I had been keeping an eye out on a leak coming from the front of the engine The noise from the shifter region was becoming louder but I wasnrsquot experiencing any power loss so I kept an ear out and we kept riding
Our next stop was at the Cheddar Cheese Museum in Saint-Prime where a sweet young man took us on a tour
He showed us the old-fashioned way cheddar cheese was made and then we got to tour the museum portion of the factory 4 generations of the family Perron have made cheddar cheese here
The museum has over 650 artifacts that involve the familyrsquos history in cheese making including the stamps and other machinery used in exporting the cheese
The Cheddar Cheese Museum offers interactive displays and hosts several workshops on the art of making cheddar Upstairs you can view the family home of the Perronrsquos and see all of the period specific furnishings
Along with guided tours you can also sample the various types of cheddar cheese which we did and oh my I have never tasted cheddar that was so smooth and rich
After thanking our young guide for the fabulous tour we headed off
We stopped at Tim Hortonrsquos for a coffee and sitting out on the curb in front of my bike I could see the leak was getting worse I was very concerned and asked if there was a shop nearby where I could at least check the oil level in my primary
Rejean talked to one of the local riders Denis AKA Tarte au Sucre (Sweet Pie) and he took us to Carl Tremblayrsquos shop Carl is a mechanic that many here swear by His rates are far cheaper than the dealerships and every rider in the region says hersquos a guru He took the primary apart and sure
enough discovered that the compensating sprocket was dead and the stator was leaking With parts ordered and Rejeanrsquos wife going to the Harley shop to pick them up Francine Lynne Rejean and Denis rode me to my hotel the Motel Chutes des Pegraveres in Dolbeau-Mistassini My gear and luggage was distributed over three of the four bikes
By the time we got in it was dark and everyone had to head home I enjoyed a wonderful steak for supper and then headed off to my beautiful room and after a boiling hot pounding shower I climbed into the queen-sized bed and with the sound of the falls lulling me to sleep

1 - Yoursquoll Become a Better DriverTherersquos no doubt that riding a motorcycle has its
benefits especially when it comes to driving a car Riding a motorcycle teaches you to look out for people who are trying to kill you yoursquoll see hazards sooner and yoursquoll end up with Ninja-like machine control So when it comes to driving yoursquoll put all that to work and be a cut above the rest Hopefully
2 - Everyone Wants To Talk To YouIt really doesnrsquot matter what kind of motorcycle
you ride yoursquoll find middle-aged men stare at you and your bike with a dreamy lust before giving you an unwanted compliment Chances are theyrsquoll have no idea what the bike is either
Choose a classic or even worse a modern classic and yoursquoll become a magnet for old men who have the knack of being able to have a conversation with you without you needing to add any input Yoursquoll reach for your helmet on more than one occasion but not be able to put in on and leave because theyrsquoll ask you a question when you try Yoursquoll be subjected to questions about your
bike that you donrsquot know the answer to or even care about
The conversation will go something like this Is that a Triumph I had a Triumph once (followed by 10 minutes of ldquoback in my day rdquo)
3 - When You Say Yoursquore A Biker This Is The First Image That
Comes To Peoplehellip
5 Things They Never Told You About Becoming A Bikerby Robert Whaley NW Ontario Motorcycling
You could be a nice guy you could have something that resembles a career you could do the occasional BBQ it doesnrsquot matter When you mention to anyone at a party that yoursquove got a motorcycle a picture of this guy will pop into their head Then as you explain that you donrsquot ride a cruiser and yoursquove got a sportsbike theyrsquoll just think yoursquore speaking Greek and will reevaluate you as some sort of nut job who tries to kill himself on the highways Itrsquos a no-win
4 - Bees and Other Flying Things Will Start To Scare You
Anything flying will scare you When yoursquore sitting around at a family BBQ and everyone starts going mental the moment a bee or a wasp arrives on the scene you sit there perfectly calm and wonder what all the fuss is about
However - when yoursquore on a bike itrsquos a different story There you are riding along on a nice sunny day with your visor up enjoying the countryside and the winding road in front of you
Then you spot it 50 metres away a large insect looks like its stopped going about its daily business and itrsquos homing in at you instead Before you can do anything about it it goes THHHHHWAP right on your cheek Close but luckily it didnrsquot get you in the eye Then you panic the little bastardrsquos still in your helmet You insert a clumsy leather-clad finger and try and flick whatever it is away but probably end up pissing it off even further Then you crank on the brakes and perform the worldrsquos fastest lid removal followed by a little bit of a flappy-armed dance
5 - You Canrsquot Figure Out Who To Wave ToWhen you get a motorcycle you become part of a
club Itrsquos a club no biker really talks about but yoursquore in it now and yoursquore not allowed to leave Ever When you first pass your test yoursquoll wave at anyone and everyone If yoursquore heading down a road and a dog looks at you the right way yoursquoll probably wave at him too
Unfortunately this will change There are no set rules as to how it will change but yoursquoll end up developing your own code Me I wave at everyone dogs too and donrsquot give a second thought to the riders that donrsquot wave back But thatrsquos just me Yoursquoll have to work out your own code
Breaking is one of the most important things that you will learn to do on a motorcycle When we first learn to ride we are taught techniques to protect ourselves from crashing such as breaking shifting and countersteering But generally the most effective way to avoid an accident is through proper use of the brakes
The rear brake in particular is probably one of the least understood controls on a motorcycle Many riders donrsquot use the rear brake at all claiming that it doesnrsquot actually aid in slowing down or stopping the bike and say that it locks up the rear tire when trying to use it In fact most experts agree that a balanced use of both the front and rear brake is the most effective way of slowing or stopping a motorcycle
The rear brake also plays a huge role in adding stability to the bike when maneuvering
Because of the weight distribution on a motorcycle the braking balance of stopping power between the front and rear is 70 on the front and 30 on the rear This should tell you that if you donrsquot use the rear brake at all you are loosing 30 of the potential stopping power on your bike This could become a critical factor if you find yourself in trouble and have to try
and avoid an accident
Why does the rear brake lock up Well once again it has to do with weight distribution When you find yourself in a braking situation and start applying the brakes the geometry of the bike changes (due partly to the suspension) and much of the total weight (bike + rider) is transferred to the front This allows the rider to apply much more front brake than rear brake (the 7030 ratio)
Learning the finer points of your bikersquos braking performance is the key to keeping your bike in control It is a good idea to explore those limits in a safe environment
Practice repeated stops in an abandoned parking lot and yoursquoll start to get a feel for the amount of
effort that triggers tire slippage or rear tire lock-up
Try stopping with your front brake only then rear only and then a combination of both Once you become more familiar with your bikersquos brakes the sensations of weight transfer will start to feel more apparent and familiar That way yoursquoll be much more aware of the limits of your bike and yoursquoll be much better prepared in stopping

1 - Yoursquoll Become a Better DriverTherersquos no doubt that riding a motorcycle has its
benefits especially when it comes to driving a car Riding a motorcycle teaches you to look out for people who are trying to kill you yoursquoll see hazards sooner and yoursquoll end up with Ninja-like machine control So when it comes to driving yoursquoll put all that to work and be a cut above the rest Hopefully
2 - Everyone Wants To Talk To YouIt really doesnrsquot matter what kind of motorcycle
you ride yoursquoll find middle-aged men stare at you and your bike with a dreamy lust before giving you an unwanted compliment Chances are theyrsquoll have no idea what the bike is either
Choose a classic or even worse a modern classic and yoursquoll become a magnet for old men who have the knack of being able to have a conversation with you without you needing to add any input Yoursquoll reach for your helmet on more than one occasion but not be able to put in on and leave because theyrsquoll ask you a question when you try Yoursquoll be subjected to questions about your
bike that you donrsquot know the answer to or even care about
The conversation will go something like this Is that a Triumph I had a Triumph once (followed by 10 minutes of ldquoback in my day rdquo)
3 - When You Say Yoursquore A Biker This Is The First Image That
Comes To Peoplehellip
5 Things They Never Told You About Becoming A Bikerby Robert Whaley NW Ontario Motorcycling
You could be a nice guy you could have something that resembles a career you could do the occasional BBQ it doesnrsquot matter When you mention to anyone at a party that yoursquove got a motorcycle a picture of this guy will pop into their head Then as you explain that you donrsquot ride a cruiser and yoursquove got a sportsbike theyrsquoll just think yoursquore speaking Greek and will reevaluate you as some sort of nut job who tries to kill himself on the highways Itrsquos a no-win
4 - Bees and Other Flying Things Will Start To Scare You
Anything flying will scare you When yoursquore sitting around at a family BBQ and everyone starts going mental the moment a bee or a wasp arrives on the scene you sit there perfectly calm and wonder what all the fuss is about
However - when yoursquore on a bike itrsquos a different story There you are riding along on a nice sunny day with your visor up enjoying the countryside and the winding road in front of you
Then you spot it 50 metres away a large insect looks like its stopped going about its daily business and itrsquos homing in at you instead Before you can do anything about it it goes THHHHHWAP right on your cheek Close but luckily it didnrsquot get you in the eye Then you panic the little bastardrsquos still in your helmet You insert a clumsy leather-clad finger and try and flick whatever it is away but probably end up pissing it off even further Then you crank on the brakes and perform the worldrsquos fastest lid removal followed by a little bit of a flappy-armed dance
5 - You Canrsquot Figure Out Who To Wave ToWhen you get a motorcycle you become part of a
club Itrsquos a club no biker really talks about but yoursquore in it now and yoursquore not allowed to leave Ever When you first pass your test yoursquoll wave at anyone and everyone If yoursquore heading down a road and a dog looks at you the right way yoursquoll probably wave at him too
Unfortunately this will change There are no set rules as to how it will change but yoursquoll end up developing your own code Me I wave at everyone dogs too and donrsquot give a second thought to the riders that donrsquot wave back But thatrsquos just me Yoursquoll have to work out your own code
Breaking is one of the most important things that you will learn to do on a motorcycle When we first learn to ride we are taught techniques to protect ourselves from crashing such as breaking shifting and countersteering But generally the most effective way to avoid an accident is through proper use of the brakes
The rear brake in particular is probably one of the least understood controls on a motorcycle Many riders donrsquot use the rear brake at all claiming that it doesnrsquot actually aid in slowing down or stopping the bike and say that it locks up the rear tire when trying to use it In fact most experts agree that a balanced use of both the front and rear brake is the most effective way of slowing or stopping a motorcycle
The rear brake also plays a huge role in adding stability to the bike when maneuvering
Because of the weight distribution on a motorcycle the braking balance of stopping power between the front and rear is 70 on the front and 30 on the rear This should tell you that if you donrsquot use the rear brake at all you are loosing 30 of the potential stopping power on your bike This could become a critical factor if you find yourself in trouble and have to try
and avoid an accident
Why does the rear brake lock up Well once again it has to do with weight distribution When you find yourself in a braking situation and start applying the brakes the geometry of the bike changes (due partly to the suspension) and much of the total weight (bike + rider) is transferred to the front This allows the rider to apply much more front brake than rear brake (the 7030 ratio)
Learning the finer points of your bikersquos braking performance is the key to keeping your bike in control It is a good idea to explore those limits in a safe environment
Practice repeated stops in an abandoned parking lot and yoursquoll start to get a feel for the amount of
effort that triggers tire slippage or rear tire lock-up
Try stopping with your front brake only then rear only and then a combination of both Once you become more familiar with your bikersquos brakes the sensations of weight transfer will start to feel more apparent and familiar That way yoursquoll be much more aware of the limits of your bike and yoursquoll be much better prepared in stopping

CAV To Hold AGM During ATLANTICADE (Summerside PE)
ndash The relationship started off by accident back in 2007 in
Moncton during the inaugural Atlanticade eventldquoI saw these guys who were hanging around
together with CAV crests on their vests and didnrsquot really know who they wererdquo says Dale Hicks festival founder and chairman Hicks began to connect the dots on the final day when the closing parade ended at the local veteranrsquos health care center and the CAV riders were very engaged with the vets ldquoSo I starting asking ndash who are these guys and what does CAV stand forrdquo
That was over seven years ago and now the relationship between Atlanticade and the Canadian Army Veterans is as strong a bond as you will find anywhere in the world of motorcycle events
ldquoOnce we became aware of who the CAV group was and what they represented I said well this group reflects the best of what it means to be Canadian so we certainly wanted to build a relationship with themrdquo recalls Hicks
Since then CAV has played a significant role in some form or fashion at each Atlanticade event The festival now has a
ldquoSupport the Troopsrdquo activity incorporated into the schedule each year where CAV plays a lead role In addition CAV will also be found leading parades such as the Confederation Bridge Cruise and the Parade of Iron Horses
In fact in 2011 Hicks was surprised and honored to be presented with an
honorary membership into the CAV organization at the closing awards breakfast at the Algonquin Hotel in St Andrews
ldquoYeah they caught me off guard with that and I certainly was humbled and honored by to be presented the crest by Trapperrdquo says Hicks ldquoI donrsquot feel worthy of wearing the crest but I do sport it proudly at certain times during Atlanticaderdquo
The unique bond between the two organizations continues for the upcoming 8th annual festival being held in Summerside PEI from June 27th to
Continued Next Page
(Atlanticade chairman Dale Hicks had just presented Trapper Cane with the annual ldquoExperienced Rider Awardrdquo
when Cane turned the tables by presenting Hicks with his honorary CAV membership during the 2011 event)
July 1st Recenty CAV founder Paul (Trapper) Cane announced the grouprsquos annual general meeting will take place in Summerside in conjunction with Atlanticade
ldquoAtlanticade brings great energy to all riders and our CAV members certainly appreciate the extra efforts put forth by Dalersquos team to give us some profile at the eventrdquo says Cane ldquoNo doubt it has been a great relationship between the two organizations and we hope it continues well into the futurerdquo
For his part Hicks says that Atlanticade is very proud to be able to host the CAV ndash AGM as part of the 2014 festival ldquoWe always have a good turnout of CAV members at our event but this will mean an additional boost in participants from across the country We hope we can make it a little special for them and something they will remember years down the roadrdquo

and take a step up Pretty soon everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted offAnd the moral ishellip Life is going to shovel dirt on you all kinds of dirt The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up Each of our troubles is a steppingstone We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping never giving up Shake it off and take a step up

CAV To Hold AGM During ATLANTICADE (Summerside PE)
ndash The relationship started off by accident back in 2007 in
Moncton during the inaugural Atlanticade eventldquoI saw these guys who were hanging around
together with CAV crests on their vests and didnrsquot really know who they wererdquo says Dale Hicks festival founder and chairman Hicks began to connect the dots on the final day when the closing parade ended at the local veteranrsquos health care center and the CAV riders were very engaged with the vets ldquoSo I starting asking ndash who are these guys and what does CAV stand forrdquo
That was over seven years ago and now the relationship between Atlanticade and the Canadian Army Veterans is as strong a bond as you will find anywhere in the world of motorcycle events
ldquoOnce we became aware of who the CAV group was and what they represented I said well this group reflects the best of what it means to be Canadian so we certainly wanted to build a relationship with themrdquo recalls Hicks
Since then CAV has played a significant role in some form or fashion at each Atlanticade event The festival now has a
ldquoSupport the Troopsrdquo activity incorporated into the schedule each year where CAV plays a lead role In addition CAV will also be found leading parades such as the Confederation Bridge Cruise and the Parade of Iron Horses
In fact in 2011 Hicks was surprised and honored to be presented with an
honorary membership into the CAV organization at the closing awards breakfast at the Algonquin Hotel in St Andrews
ldquoYeah they caught me off guard with that and I certainly was humbled and honored by to be presented the crest by Trapperrdquo says Hicks ldquoI donrsquot feel worthy of wearing the crest but I do sport it proudly at certain times during Atlanticaderdquo
The unique bond between the two organizations continues for the upcoming 8th annual festival being held in Summerside PEI from June 27th to
Continued Next Page
(Atlanticade chairman Dale Hicks had just presented Trapper Cane with the annual ldquoExperienced Rider Awardrdquo
when Cane turned the tables by presenting Hicks with his honorary CAV membership during the 2011 event)
July 1st Recenty CAV founder Paul (Trapper) Cane announced the grouprsquos annual general meeting will take place in Summerside in conjunction with Atlanticade
ldquoAtlanticade brings great energy to all riders and our CAV members certainly appreciate the extra efforts put forth by Dalersquos team to give us some profile at the eventrdquo says Cane ldquoNo doubt it has been a great relationship between the two organizations and we hope it continues well into the futurerdquo
For his part Hicks says that Atlanticade is very proud to be able to host the CAV ndash AGM as part of the 2014 festival ldquoWe always have a good turnout of CAV members at our event but this will mean an additional boost in participants from across the country We hope we can make it a little special for them and something they will remember years down the roadrdquo

1 - Yoursquoll Become a Better DriverTherersquos no doubt that riding a motorcycle has its
benefits especially when it comes to driving a car Riding a motorcycle teaches you to look out for people who are trying to kill you yoursquoll see hazards sooner and yoursquoll end up with Ninja-like machine control So when it comes to driving yoursquoll put all that to work and be a cut above the rest Hopefully
2 - Everyone Wants To Talk To YouIt really doesnrsquot matter what kind of motorcycle
you ride yoursquoll find middle-aged men stare at you and your bike with a dreamy lust before giving you an unwanted compliment Chances are theyrsquoll have no idea what the bike is either
Choose a classic or even worse a modern classic and yoursquoll become a magnet for old men who have the knack of being able to have a conversation with you without you needing to add any input Yoursquoll reach for your helmet on more than one occasion but not be able to put in on and leave because theyrsquoll ask you a question when you try Yoursquoll be subjected to questions about your
bike that you donrsquot know the answer to or even care about
The conversation will go something like this Is that a Triumph I had a Triumph once (followed by 10 minutes of ldquoback in my day rdquo)
3 - When You Say Yoursquore A Biker This Is The First Image That
Comes To Peoplehellip
5 Things They Never Told You About Becoming A Bikerby Robert Whaley NW Ontario Motorcycling
You could be a nice guy you could have something that resembles a career you could do the occasional BBQ it doesnrsquot matter When you mention to anyone at a party that yoursquove got a motorcycle a picture of this guy will pop into their head Then as you explain that you donrsquot ride a cruiser and yoursquove got a sportsbike theyrsquoll just think yoursquore speaking Greek and will reevaluate you as some sort of nut job who tries to kill himself on the highways Itrsquos a no-win
4 - Bees and Other Flying Things Will Start To Scare You
Anything flying will scare you When yoursquore sitting around at a family BBQ and everyone starts going mental the moment a bee or a wasp arrives on the scene you sit there perfectly calm and wonder what all the fuss is about
However - when yoursquore on a bike itrsquos a different story There you are riding along on a nice sunny day with your visor up enjoying the countryside and the winding road in front of you
Then you spot it 50 metres away a large insect looks like its stopped going about its daily business and itrsquos homing in at you instead Before you can do anything about it it goes THHHHHWAP right on your cheek Close but luckily it didnrsquot get you in the eye Then you panic the little bastardrsquos still in your helmet You insert a clumsy leather-clad finger and try and flick whatever it is away but probably end up pissing it off even further Then you crank on the brakes and perform the worldrsquos fastest lid removal followed by a little bit of a flappy-armed dance
5 - You Canrsquot Figure Out Who To Wave ToWhen you get a motorcycle you become part of a
club Itrsquos a club no biker really talks about but yoursquore in it now and yoursquore not allowed to leave Ever When you first pass your test yoursquoll wave at anyone and everyone If yoursquore heading down a road and a dog looks at you the right way yoursquoll probably wave at him too
Unfortunately this will change There are no set rules as to how it will change but yoursquoll end up developing your own code Me I wave at everyone dogs too and donrsquot give a second thought to the riders that donrsquot wave back But thatrsquos just me Yoursquoll have to work out your own code
Breaking is one of the most important things that you will learn to do on a motorcycle When we first learn to ride we are taught techniques to protect ourselves from crashing such as breaking shifting and countersteering But generally the most effective way to avoid an accident is through proper use of the brakes
The rear brake in particular is probably one of the least understood controls on a motorcycle Many riders donrsquot use the rear brake at all claiming that it doesnrsquot actually aid in slowing down or stopping the bike and say that it locks up the rear tire when trying to use it In fact most experts agree that a balanced use of both the front and rear brake is the most effective way of slowing or stopping a motorcycle
The rear brake also plays a huge role in adding stability to the bike when maneuvering
Because of the weight distribution on a motorcycle the braking balance of stopping power between the front and rear is 70 on the front and 30 on the rear This should tell you that if you donrsquot use the rear brake at all you are loosing 30 of the potential stopping power on your bike This could become a critical factor if you find yourself in trouble and have to try
and avoid an accident
Why does the rear brake lock up Well once again it has to do with weight distribution When you find yourself in a braking situation and start applying the brakes the geometry of the bike changes (due partly to the suspension) and much of the total weight (bike + rider) is transferred to the front This allows the rider to apply much more front brake than rear brake (the 7030 ratio)
Learning the finer points of your bikersquos braking performance is the key to keeping your bike in control It is a good idea to explore those limits in a safe environment
Practice repeated stops in an abandoned parking lot and yoursquoll start to get a feel for the amount of
effort that triggers tire slippage or rear tire lock-up
Try stopping with your front brake only then rear only and then a combination of both Once you become more familiar with your bikersquos brakes the sensations of weight transfer will start to feel more apparent and familiar That way yoursquoll be much more aware of the limits of your bike and yoursquoll be much better prepared in stopping

CAV To Hold AGM During ATLANTICADE (Summerside PE)
ndash The relationship started off by accident back in 2007 in
Moncton during the inaugural Atlanticade eventldquoI saw these guys who were hanging around
together with CAV crests on their vests and didnrsquot really know who they wererdquo says Dale Hicks festival founder and chairman Hicks began to connect the dots on the final day when the closing parade ended at the local veteranrsquos health care center and the CAV riders were very engaged with the vets ldquoSo I starting asking ndash who are these guys and what does CAV stand forrdquo
That was over seven years ago and now the relationship between Atlanticade and the Canadian Army Veterans is as strong a bond as you will find anywhere in the world of motorcycle events
ldquoOnce we became aware of who the CAV group was and what they represented I said well this group reflects the best of what it means to be Canadian so we certainly wanted to build a relationship with themrdquo recalls Hicks
Since then CAV has played a significant role in some form or fashion at each Atlanticade event The festival now has a
ldquoSupport the Troopsrdquo activity incorporated into the schedule each year where CAV plays a lead role In addition CAV will also be found leading parades such as the Confederation Bridge Cruise and the Parade of Iron Horses
In fact in 2011 Hicks was surprised and honored to be presented with an
honorary membership into the CAV organization at the closing awards breakfast at the Algonquin Hotel in St Andrews
ldquoYeah they caught me off guard with that and I certainly was humbled and honored by to be presented the crest by Trapperrdquo says Hicks ldquoI donrsquot feel worthy of wearing the crest but I do sport it proudly at certain times during Atlanticaderdquo
The unique bond between the two organizations continues for the upcoming 8th annual festival being held in Summerside PEI from June 27th to
Continued Next Page
(Atlanticade chairman Dale Hicks had just presented Trapper Cane with the annual ldquoExperienced Rider Awardrdquo
when Cane turned the tables by presenting Hicks with his honorary CAV membership during the 2011 event)
July 1st Recenty CAV founder Paul (Trapper) Cane announced the grouprsquos annual general meeting will take place in Summerside in conjunction with Atlanticade
ldquoAtlanticade brings great energy to all riders and our CAV members certainly appreciate the extra efforts put forth by Dalersquos team to give us some profile at the eventrdquo says Cane ldquoNo doubt it has been a great relationship between the two organizations and we hope it continues well into the futurerdquo
For his part Hicks says that Atlanticade is very proud to be able to host the CAV ndash AGM as part of the 2014 festival ldquoWe always have a good turnout of CAV members at our event but this will mean an additional boost in participants from across the country We hope we can make it a little special for them and something they will remember years down the roadrdquo

and take a step up Pretty soon everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted offAnd the moral ishellip Life is going to shovel dirt on you all kinds of dirt The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up Each of our troubles is a steppingstone We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping never giving up Shake it off and take a step up

3 - When You Say Yoursquore A Biker This Is The First Image That
Comes To Peoplehellip
5 Things They Never Told You About Becoming A Bikerby Robert Whaley NW Ontario Motorcycling
You could be a nice guy you could have something that resembles a career you could do the occasional BBQ it doesnrsquot matter When you mention to anyone at a party that yoursquove got a motorcycle a picture of this guy will pop into their head Then as you explain that you donrsquot ride a cruiser and yoursquove got a sportsbike theyrsquoll just think yoursquore speaking Greek and will reevaluate you as some sort of nut job who tries to kill himself on the highways Itrsquos a no-win
4 - Bees and Other Flying Things Will Start To Scare You
Anything flying will scare you When yoursquore sitting around at a family BBQ and everyone starts going mental the moment a bee or a wasp arrives on the scene you sit there perfectly calm and wonder what all the fuss is about
However - when yoursquore on a bike itrsquos a different story There you are riding along on a nice sunny day with your visor up enjoying the countryside and the winding road in front of you
Then you spot it 50 metres away a large insect looks like its stopped going about its daily business and itrsquos homing in at you instead Before you can do anything about it it goes THHHHHWAP right on your cheek Close but luckily it didnrsquot get you in the eye Then you panic the little bastardrsquos still in your helmet You insert a clumsy leather-clad finger and try and flick whatever it is away but probably end up pissing it off even further Then you crank on the brakes and perform the worldrsquos fastest lid removal followed by a little bit of a flappy-armed dance
5 - You Canrsquot Figure Out Who To Wave ToWhen you get a motorcycle you become part of a
club Itrsquos a club no biker really talks about but yoursquore in it now and yoursquore not allowed to leave Ever When you first pass your test yoursquoll wave at anyone and everyone If yoursquore heading down a road and a dog looks at you the right way yoursquoll probably wave at him too
Unfortunately this will change There are no set rules as to how it will change but yoursquoll end up developing your own code Me I wave at everyone dogs too and donrsquot give a second thought to the riders that donrsquot wave back But thatrsquos just me Yoursquoll have to work out your own code
Breaking is one of the most important things that you will learn to do on a motorcycle When we first learn to ride we are taught techniques to protect ourselves from crashing such as breaking shifting and countersteering But generally the most effective way to avoid an accident is through proper use of the brakes
The rear brake in particular is probably one of the least understood controls on a motorcycle Many riders donrsquot use the rear brake at all claiming that it doesnrsquot actually aid in slowing down or stopping the bike and say that it locks up the rear tire when trying to use it In fact most experts agree that a balanced use of both the front and rear brake is the most effective way of slowing or stopping a motorcycle
The rear brake also plays a huge role in adding stability to the bike when maneuvering
Because of the weight distribution on a motorcycle the braking balance of stopping power between the front and rear is 70 on the front and 30 on the rear This should tell you that if you donrsquot use the rear brake at all you are loosing 30 of the potential stopping power on your bike This could become a critical factor if you find yourself in trouble and have to try
and avoid an accident
Why does the rear brake lock up Well once again it has to do with weight distribution When you find yourself in a braking situation and start applying the brakes the geometry of the bike changes (due partly to the suspension) and much of the total weight (bike + rider) is transferred to the front This allows the rider to apply much more front brake than rear brake (the 7030 ratio)
Learning the finer points of your bikersquos braking performance is the key to keeping your bike in control It is a good idea to explore those limits in a safe environment
Practice repeated stops in an abandoned parking lot and yoursquoll start to get a feel for the amount of
effort that triggers tire slippage or rear tire lock-up
Try stopping with your front brake only then rear only and then a combination of both Once you become more familiar with your bikersquos brakes the sensations of weight transfer will start to feel more apparent and familiar That way yoursquoll be much more aware of the limits of your bike and yoursquoll be much better prepared in stopping

You could be a nice guy you could have something that resembles a career you could do the occasional BBQ it doesnrsquot matter When you mention to anyone at a party that yoursquove got a motorcycle a picture of this guy will pop into their head Then as you explain that you donrsquot ride a cruiser and yoursquove got a sportsbike theyrsquoll just think yoursquore speaking Greek and will reevaluate you as some sort of nut job who tries to kill himself on the highways Itrsquos a no-win
4 - Bees and Other Flying Things Will Start To Scare You
Anything flying will scare you When yoursquore sitting around at a family BBQ and everyone starts going mental the moment a bee or a wasp arrives on the scene you sit there perfectly calm and wonder what all the fuss is about
However - when yoursquore on a bike itrsquos a different story There you are riding along on a nice sunny day with your visor up enjoying the countryside and the winding road in front of you
Then you spot it 50 metres away a large insect looks like its stopped going about its daily business and itrsquos homing in at you instead Before you can do anything about it it goes THHHHHWAP right on your cheek Close but luckily it didnrsquot get you in the eye Then you panic the little bastardrsquos still in your helmet You insert a clumsy leather-clad finger and try and flick whatever it is away but probably end up pissing it off even further Then you crank on the brakes and perform the worldrsquos fastest lid removal followed by a little bit of a flappy-armed dance
5 - You Canrsquot Figure Out Who To Wave ToWhen you get a motorcycle you become part of a
club Itrsquos a club no biker really talks about but yoursquore in it now and yoursquore not allowed to leave Ever When you first pass your test yoursquoll wave at anyone and everyone If yoursquore heading down a road and a dog looks at you the right way yoursquoll probably wave at him too
Unfortunately this will change There are no set rules as to how it will change but yoursquoll end up developing your own code Me I wave at everyone dogs too and donrsquot give a second thought to the riders that donrsquot wave back But thatrsquos just me Yoursquoll have to work out your own code
Breaking is one of the most important things that you will learn to do on a motorcycle When we first learn to ride we are taught techniques to protect ourselves from crashing such as breaking shifting and countersteering But generally the most effective way to avoid an accident is through proper use of the brakes
The rear brake in particular is probably one of the least understood controls on a motorcycle Many riders donrsquot use the rear brake at all claiming that it doesnrsquot actually aid in slowing down or stopping the bike and say that it locks up the rear tire when trying to use it In fact most experts agree that a balanced use of both the front and rear brake is the most effective way of slowing or stopping a motorcycle
The rear brake also plays a huge role in adding stability to the bike when maneuvering
Because of the weight distribution on a motorcycle the braking balance of stopping power between the front and rear is 70 on the front and 30 on the rear This should tell you that if you donrsquot use the rear brake at all you are loosing 30 of the potential stopping power on your bike This could become a critical factor if you find yourself in trouble and have to try
and avoid an accident
Why does the rear brake lock up Well once again it has to do with weight distribution When you find yourself in a braking situation and start applying the brakes the geometry of the bike changes (due partly to the suspension) and much of the total weight (bike + rider) is transferred to the front This allows the rider to apply much more front brake than rear brake (the 7030 ratio)
Learning the finer points of your bikersquos braking performance is the key to keeping your bike in control It is a good idea to explore those limits in a safe environment
Practice repeated stops in an abandoned parking lot and yoursquoll start to get a feel for the amount of
effort that triggers tire slippage or rear tire lock-up
Try stopping with your front brake only then rear only and then a combination of both Once you become more familiar with your bikersquos brakes the sensations of weight transfer will start to feel more apparent and familiar That way yoursquoll be much more aware of the limits of your bike and yoursquoll be much better prepared in stopping

CAV To Hold AGM During ATLANTICADE (Summerside PE)
ndash The relationship started off by accident back in 2007 in
Moncton during the inaugural Atlanticade eventldquoI saw these guys who were hanging around
together with CAV crests on their vests and didnrsquot really know who they wererdquo says Dale Hicks festival founder and chairman Hicks began to connect the dots on the final day when the closing parade ended at the local veteranrsquos health care center and the CAV riders were very engaged with the vets ldquoSo I starting asking ndash who are these guys and what does CAV stand forrdquo
That was over seven years ago and now the relationship between Atlanticade and the Canadian Army Veterans is as strong a bond as you will find anywhere in the world of motorcycle events
ldquoOnce we became aware of who the CAV group was and what they represented I said well this group reflects the best of what it means to be Canadian so we certainly wanted to build a relationship with themrdquo recalls Hicks
Since then CAV has played a significant role in some form or fashion at each Atlanticade event The festival now has a
ldquoSupport the Troopsrdquo activity incorporated into the schedule each year where CAV plays a lead role In addition CAV will also be found leading parades such as the Confederation Bridge Cruise and the Parade of Iron Horses
In fact in 2011 Hicks was surprised and honored to be presented with an
honorary membership into the CAV organization at the closing awards breakfast at the Algonquin Hotel in St Andrews
ldquoYeah they caught me off guard with that and I certainly was humbled and honored by to be presented the crest by Trapperrdquo says Hicks ldquoI donrsquot feel worthy of wearing the crest but I do sport it proudly at certain times during Atlanticaderdquo
The unique bond between the two organizations continues for the upcoming 8th annual festival being held in Summerside PEI from June 27th to

The rear brake also plays a huge role in adding stability to the bike when maneuvering
Because of the weight distribution on a motorcycle the braking balance of stopping power between the front and rear is 70 on the front and 30 on the rear This should tell you that if you donrsquot use the rear brake at all you are loosing 30 of the potential stopping power on your bike This could become a critical factor if you find yourself in trouble and have to try
and avoid an accident
Why does the rear brake lock up Well once again it has to do with weight distribution When you find yourself in a braking situation and start applying the brakes the geometry of the bike changes (due partly to the suspension) and much of the total weight (bike + rider) is transferred to the front This allows the rider to apply much more front brake than rear brake (the 7030 ratio)
Learning the finer points of your bikersquos braking performance is the key to keeping your bike in control It is a good idea to explore those limits in a safe environment
Practice repeated stops in an abandoned parking lot and yoursquoll start to get a feel for the amount of
effort that triggers tire slippage or rear tire lock-up
Try stopping with your front brake only then rear only and then a combination of both Once you become more familiar with your bikersquos brakes the sensations of weight transfer will start to feel more apparent and familiar That way yoursquoll be much more aware of the limits of your bike and yoursquoll be much better prepared in stopping

That was over seven years ago and now the relationship between Atlanticade and the Canadian Army Veterans is as strong a bond as you will find anywhere in the world of motorcycle events
ldquoOnce we became aware of who the CAV group was and what they represented I said well this group reflects the best of what it means to be Canadian so we certainly wanted to build a relationship with themrdquo recalls Hicks
Since then CAV has played a significant role in some form or fashion at each Atlanticade event The festival now has a
ldquoSupport the Troopsrdquo activity incorporated into the schedule each year where CAV plays a lead role In addition CAV will also be found leading parades such as the Confederation Bridge Cruise and the Parade of Iron Horses
In fact in 2011 Hicks was surprised and honored to be presented with an
honorary membership into the CAV organization at the closing awards breakfast at the Algonquin Hotel in St Andrews
ldquoYeah they caught me off guard with that and I certainly was humbled and honored by to be presented the crest by Trapperrdquo says Hicks ldquoI donrsquot feel worthy of wearing the crest but I do sport it proudly at certain times during Atlanticaderdquo

CAV To Hold AGM During ATLANTICADE (Summerside PE)
ndash The relationship started off by accident back in 2007 in
Moncton during the inaugural Atlanticade eventldquoI saw these guys who were hanging around
together with CAV crests on their vests and didnrsquot really know who they wererdquo says Dale Hicks festival founder and chairman Hicks began to connect the dots on the final day when the closing parade ended at the local veteranrsquos health care center and the CAV riders were very engaged with the vets ldquoSo I starting asking ndash who are these guys and what does CAV stand forrdquo
That was over seven years ago and now the relationship between Atlanticade and the Canadian Army Veterans is as strong a bond as you will find anywhere in the world of motorcycle events
ldquoOnce we became aware of who the CAV group was and what they represented I said well this group reflects the best of what it means to be Canadian so we certainly wanted to build a relationship with themrdquo recalls Hicks
Since then CAV has played a significant role in some form or fashion at each Atlanticade event The festival now has a
ldquoSupport the Troopsrdquo activity incorporated into the schedule each year where CAV plays a lead role In addition CAV will also be found leading parades such as the Confederation Bridge Cruise and the Parade of Iron Horses
In fact in 2011 Hicks was surprised and honored to be presented with an
honorary membership into the CAV organization at the closing awards breakfast at the Algonquin Hotel in St Andrews
ldquoYeah they caught me off guard with that and I certainly was humbled and honored by to be presented the crest by Trapperrdquo says Hicks ldquoI donrsquot feel worthy of wearing the crest but I do sport it proudly at certain times during Atlanticaderdquo
The unique bond between the two organizations continues for the upcoming 8th annual festival being held in Summerside PEI from June 27th to

and take a step up Pretty soon everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted offAnd the moral ishellip Life is going to shovel dirt on you all kinds of dirt The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up Each of our troubles is a steppingstone We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping never giving up Shake it off and take a step up

CAV To Hold AGM During ATLANTICADE (Summerside PE)
ndash The relationship started off by accident back in 2007 in
Moncton during the inaugural Atlanticade eventldquoI saw these guys who were hanging around
together with CAV crests on their vests and didnrsquot really know who they wererdquo says Dale Hicks festival founder and chairman Hicks began to connect the dots on the final day when the closing parade ended at the local veteranrsquos health care center and the CAV riders were very engaged with the vets ldquoSo I starting asking ndash who are these guys and what does CAV stand forrdquo
That was over seven years ago and now the relationship between Atlanticade and the Canadian Army Veterans is as strong a bond as you will find anywhere in the world of motorcycle events
ldquoOnce we became aware of who the CAV group was and what they represented I said well this group reflects the best of what it means to be Canadian so we certainly wanted to build a relationship with themrdquo recalls Hicks
Since then CAV has played a significant role in some form or fashion at each Atlanticade event The festival now has a
ldquoSupport the Troopsrdquo activity incorporated into the schedule each year where CAV plays a lead role In addition CAV will also be found leading parades such as the Confederation Bridge Cruise and the Parade of Iron Horses
In fact in 2011 Hicks was surprised and honored to be presented with an
honorary membership into the CAV organization at the closing awards breakfast at the Algonquin Hotel in St Andrews
ldquoYeah they caught me off guard with that and I certainly was humbled and honored by to be presented the crest by Trapperrdquo says Hicks ldquoI donrsquot feel worthy of wearing the crest but I do sport it proudly at certain times during Atlanticaderdquo
The unique bond between the two organizations continues for the upcoming 8th annual festival being held in Summerside PEI from June 27th to

CAV To Hold AGM During ATLANTICADE (Summerside PE)
ndash The relationship started off by accident back in 2007 in
Moncton during the inaugural Atlanticade eventldquoI saw these guys who were hanging around
together with CAV crests on their vests and didnrsquot really know who they wererdquo says Dale Hicks festival founder and chairman Hicks began to connect the dots on the final day when the closing parade ended at the local veteranrsquos health care center and the CAV riders were very engaged with the vets ldquoSo I starting asking ndash who are these guys and what does CAV stand forrdquo
That was over seven years ago and now the relationship between Atlanticade and the Canadian Army Veterans is as strong a bond as you will find anywhere in the world of motorcycle events
ldquoOnce we became aware of who the CAV group was and what they represented I said well this group reflects the best of what it means to be Canadian so we certainly wanted to build a relationship with themrdquo recalls Hicks
Since then CAV has played a significant role in some form or fashion at each Atlanticade event The festival now has a
ldquoSupport the Troopsrdquo activity incorporated into the schedule each year where CAV plays a lead role In addition CAV will also be found leading parades such as the Confederation Bridge Cruise and the Parade of Iron Horses
In fact in 2011 Hicks was surprised and honored to be presented with an
