While this is not a 'Bandit only' event the organizer (me) is a proud 2008 1250 Bandit owner and will be there on my bike.

2 nights of comedy with a music jam after in one of the coolest motorcycle campgrounds you will ever find

It would be nice to see a few more Bandits there and the roads in that area are some of the best in Canada. Just a short hop from the USA border too.

Just got back from that area yesterday. My parents live on the North Shore of Kootenay Lake at 10 mile, so I got a couple of rides in past Toad Rock...

Unfortunately, I'm not in a position to make it back this weekend, especially with the Bandit Alley ride on the 15th.

Have a great time and hope all goes well.

Described as "The most fun you can have outside of 2 sleeping bags zipped together!"
Canada's only outdoor comedy concert with music jam and after party!!
It all takes place Aug 7,8/2009 at one of the best motorcycle campgrounds you will ever find, Toad Rock Campground.
Their web site:

Nestled among some of the best riding roads in BC with beaches, hot springs and great rides near by it's worth a visit anytime you are in the area. Tell Mary that Daddy Makk sent you!!

Here is what the KGB is:
2 nights of professional stand up comedy (different show each night) followed by the music jam with local bands, huge bonfire and a wee bit of drinking.
Early bird tickets are on sale now.
I have a special price for forum members. Just PM me for the code.
More info is on the web site

We all like to ride, everyone needs to laugh so what are you waiting for?
This area of Canada is worth it just for the scenery and roads...now you have a great event to go with your trip.
I'll be there on my bike along with 3 other biker comics and others!!
Lots of Canadian beer and hospitality to go with your laughs.

Here are a few pics of the event and ride up there
The ferry crossing (30 min) for Kootenay Lake
A great time to relax after your ride. Once across you are 5 minutes away

Soak in the hotsprings just up the road

A great way to soak away those weary muscles.

The Pavillion where it all happens. Relax and shoot some pool in the day

You have friends in town that are not cool enough to take to this event?  :stickpoke:
