Skidder held a meet and greet for the Alberta Riders of HDforum. And luckly he happened to get the mascot shortly before the get together. I wasn't sure we would make it, but we did and met a bunch of good folks. Glad we made it. Skidder has a place in the country near Cochrane where the event was held. Nice place, you can sit back and relax, and great hosts. You didn't go hungry or thirsty, there was some good eats. We met some Alberta Riders of HDforum. All were people you would have a get together with, or ride with. Was nice when we left we were escorted form Cochrane to Caroline by about eight riders. Maybe they just wanted to make sure we wouldn't come back It was nice to ride with them. When we parted we made our way to the David Thompson Hwy then to the Ice Fields Parkway. The ride to Jasper on that road is always a treat. Supper in Jasper then the last jaunt home to Hinton. It was a good weekend, we are both glad we made it and hope to see that group of new friends again.

This is what our ride looks like not all covered in bugs.


Skidders place.


Home away from home.


This picture needs no explanation.


Had to get a pose with the rides.


The windshield on the way back, picked up a few splats.

 

Don't know what happened. The last word on half the pics went to the bottom of the pic.

 

Hi, do you live in Hinton? If you do you must know my bro Rod Shwetz and Barb, im the older bro, Doug and reside in Medicine Hat, I just purchased an Eletra glide ultra classic and think its a great machine. We are going to be in Hinton for some visiting in Sept. Like your pics and ride safe. Doug Shwetz

 

Glad to have met you all. It was really great and I look forward to riding out to Hinton someday soon.

 

Hey Doug, we have known Rod and Barb for quite some time.

 

good to see ya silver..
Apparently i was taking a whiz for the flag shot...........lol

 

I wonder if that's as far North the mascot has ever been?
I doubt it will ever make it's way back here, I feel fortunate to have been able to hold on to it for a few days...one of the lucky few.

 

+1, skidder!

I see it as a reward for members' effort put in to keep the Mascot moving...

 

I'll second that.

 

Its sound cooooooooooooooooll
