Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere but thought I would post it in case anybody here wanted to participate. Hey, you might even get on TV!

Charlie's latest adventure has been riding across Canada shooting "Extreme Frontiers: Canada" a show that will air in the UK and I imagine also be released on DVD.

He's finishing up this week on Vancouver Island and is looking for some locals to ride along.

From www.bigearth.com/extreme-frontiers/

Hi everyone,
I’m just delivering you our exciting news about a motorbike convoy that I’m heading as part of the Extreme Frontiers shoot in Canada. We’ve done these before at the end of other shoots and its always so much fun to get together and bike the last miles of an expedition. So come join us!
The Convoy is July 25th meeting at Kick start Coffee, 1063 Canada Ave Duncan BC. We will leave at 10:00 am. Riders should arrive no later than 9:30 am, if they are joining us in Duncan.
For more information- check out our page convoy page in the adventures section…

The Convoy is July 25th meeting at Kick start Coffee, 1063 Canada Ave Duncan BC. We will leave at 10:00 am. Riders should arrive no later than 9:30 am, if they are joining us in Duncan. The route will take us through downtown Chemainus, Ladysmith, Nanaimo, Port Alberni via Coombs hwy. Then on to Tofino. Riders are welcome to Join the convoy at any point along the route. You can calculate our ETA to you area based on the 10:00 departure from Duncan. Once in Tofino riders will gather while we finish some filming. This will be a hoot – so come and join us – have some fun!

 I'd like to take part but MotoGP @ Laguna Seca is calling my my name.  Smile

It would be fun to meet Charley. He was also so much more interesting than Ewan in their 'round the world shows  Bigsmile

Of course, the local dual-sport community has been aware of this for some time...

Quite the collection of bikes! (I remember why I hate Flickr now... sooooo sloooowww! Rolleyes)
Looks like you had a perfect day weather wise. Great shot of your bike in the last panel! It should go in a sales brochure!
