It's clearly a formula which requires consideration of power and weight, so I don't think the big 950 would succeed.

But I'm willing to put a small bet on it.

Canada or Bust

We're loaded and almost ready. I hope to knock out the TET connector to the TNE over the next few weeks.

Ted, thanks for working with me on this.

I just finished reading the complete report - a feat that required putting off many of the "requests" from "she who must be obeyed" (more dangerous than the bears encountered on the trails).

I spent about 6 weeks this spring travelling around South America and, while it was great, I kept thinking that Canada has everything that I saw and probably more. Ted and crew, you have proved it is true.

The TCAT is looking amazing. I can't wait to spend some time riding it. Thanks for all of your dedication and hard work.

The multiple selection option wasn't working for the RR poll so I took it out. You can only choose one now
