Good information David thanks.
How is the recovery coming along?
I'm sure you friends on here would like to know

Tim finally got some good news from the surgerons orthro and plastics. They took off the external rods becabuse my foot wasn't heeling straight due to the weight of the rods. They didnt want to put cast on as it may chafe the new skin,but they had no chioce. On my last check up the cast came off everything looked good. After a few adjustments to get things lined up another cast was applied. Looks like i may not need the 5th surgery, i'll know on my next visit. I may get a walking cast if all is well. They tell me rehab is going to be long and i may have to walk with a cane. I can live with with that, i still have my leg and foot. I also had a little heart damage when it stopped during the 2nd surgery. They said i just will get tired easily. Life without a motorcycle is going to be difficult.

I'm glad to hear you are improving. I'm sure this has been very hard on not just you but your family as well.
Best of luck to you going forward.

[Top Cat]

Sounds like you are coming along well David considering what you have been through. Keep your spirits up and listen to the doctors.
I can't imagine being without a motorcycle either but being alive takes priority. There are other things in life that are more important.

Good to hear you are making good progress David. I can not imagine what you have gone through but I am rooting for you and hoping you make a complete recovery.

Count me among the retired, so my time is flexible. Since Patriot is in charge of weather, I vote for his recommendations.

[Top Cat]

When did you retire Dave

[cnc]

Dave retired sometime before the Tremblant rally. Pay attention Tim there will be a year end test soon.

[Top Cat]

Oh crap, I guess I better study harder

Went to apply for my Passport today and they do not accept my Birth certificate I have to get one that is called a fuul page issue with more info So my drivers license, DD214 and SS card were not accepted So ordered a copy at a cost of 45$ US WTF, But it is something I need to go to Canada and Mexico ! At least I have time lolSO if all goes right I may see you all there

[Top Cat]

Do you have enhanced driver licenses in Maine? They were considering it back when I did the research for one of our other rallies.
You can get into Canada with one and they are cheaper than a passport.
Somewhere on here there is a write up on the research I did on the subject.
Found it, here is a copy and paste.


US Citizens entering Canada info
Any one entering Canada for our North East US / Eastern Canada Regional rally will need one of the following documents. Without it you will not be allowed to cross the border into Canada from the United States.

The following documents may be satisfactory evidence of United States (U.S.) citizenship:

• A valid U.S. passport, U.S. passport card, or a Certificate of Citizenship and Naturalization are considered primary evidence and are acceptable proof of U.S. citizenship.
• The Enhanced Drivers License (EDL) and Enhanced Identification Card (EIC) (non-drivers) are alternative travel documents denoting the holder's identity and citizenship and are acceptable proof of U.S. citizenship when entering from the U.S. through land and marine ports of entry only.
• An original U.S. birth certificate, when accompanied by a valid government issued photo identification document, is considered an indicator and may be an acceptable proof of U.S. citizenship.

A passport is the preferred document but an Enhanced Drivers License is cheaper to obtain.

HOWEVER, there are only 5 states now offering Enhanced Drivers Licenses,

• Michigan
• New York
• Washington
• Vermont
• Connecticut

States considering implementing an Enhanced Driver Licenses include:

• Arizona
• Idaho
• Maine
• Minnesota
• New Hampshire
• New Mexico
• North Dakota
• Texas

I would suggest reading this webpage for more info.

You should also be aware that no firearms are allowed to be taken in to Canada.
If you normally carry, you will have to leave your weapon home.
