        Steel toe tank....wasn't he from Canada? If it's the same guy I'm thinking of we met him a Sandy's rally in Cranbrook several years ago....and what a character! Lol

          I sent him the MC & brake handle off my parts bike for his "T", he was grateful, email date: 4/9/2013. I do still have PMs from him...and yes, he was in Canada!

            I recognized his last name and a MN license plate in one of his pics. Come to find out his uncle has a Beech Bonanza I worked on in northern Minnesota. Small world.......

            and another GS guy from up there was Dan the Man. He rode a GS out to California and back. Wonder how hes doing ?....

              I remember he and a buddy were 200 miles from nowhere in Alaska stopped at the side of the "road" when the Google camera car went by.... sure enough the images showed up a couple of months later on Google Earth...

                Yes Trevor, Steel Toed Tank came to Sandy’s rally. He is the one who picked up that sprocket tooth in his tire. Scott ordered new sprockets and chain so he could get home. I believe that Tank came from the Calvary area and had to ride some 700 miles, some through rain and snow to get to the rally. A big nice guy.

                  Actually mostly correct but it was actually not far from my place on a remote gravel back road by Lussier Hot Springs. I'll check and see if that part has been over written with new data.

                          WHat did happen to Steel Toe, I remember that guy. Another couple I can add: Koolaid Kid and TCK (the cafe kid). I know what happened to TCK and maybe Koolaid passed?

                            Your not exactly wrong, we had a run in or two but he did know his 550/650 and he was an asset here I thought. We had talked a 650E transaction at some point too, he's not terribly far away. I searched him and $hit, he's been gone a long time now! Time flies...and if I remember right so did he.

                              One of you made my "Ignore List" apparently at one time or another but I can't remember why

                                Yes, Koolaid Kid passed several years ago, a group of Gsers scattered his ashes along some of his favorite riding routes with the family's blessing.

                                Life is a balancing act, enjoy every day, "later" will come sooner than you think. Denying yourself joy now betting you will have health and money to enjoy life later is a bad bet.
