It's blocked in the USA due to CBC copyright material. :(

I don't know what WG is doing in the U.S.A., but he is correct. The content has been blocked by the CBC. :(

Oh well, you guys deserve it, all US networks block their content to Canada, so I guess it's only fair we do it too. :wink:

They don't provide internet access at Harbor Freight. However, I seem to remember that WG lives only a stone's throw from the 49th Parallel (U.S. border). Therefore, he doesn't have far to go before he crosses the border.

I have never seen an igloo in the United States. However, I can assure you, we receive a lot of snow in Idaho.

To respond to the question, we're visiting sunny Portland. I scored the 6.5hp engine and a dirt bike jack, both with 20% off coupons.

I love being a cheap China Rider.

Ahh right on, congrats on scoring the engine you were looking for... I'm going to go out today and see if I can find any snow.

If you are still in Portland, it is only a 20 mile ride to Scapoose, Oregon. If you visit CRF Sales, you can examine the DS-400A, and 400Y-2 chinabikes they are selling.
