Hi there Rips, GOOD to have u here my friend.

Question for you my friend, on TransCan 1, on both sides of the road at a certain time of the year, there appears to be miles in miles of yellow/gold stuff growing. Absolutely gorgeous to ride through.

1. What is that stuff?
2. Do you remember what month or months it is in bloom and is so gorgeous?

We have a ton of stuff here, like an excellent mechanical and technical section, Harley-Davidson videos uploaded by our members, humor, gun enthusiast, road trips, a food section, dark side section, great vendors, classifieds, regional activity, and a lot, a lot more.



Now, for my regular welcome to you...

G'day mate,

welcome to HDF.

I will be your tour guide. Be sure to read the manual before posting ok mate?

Or we will have discipline you and if you don't "get it" we will need to discipline you biker style.

Here is a gift for you… LOL! “I so funi!”


Now let’s get serious for your orientation. Go down the hall on your left to the 1st room. No, wait. The 1st room on your right. That is where the commissary is.

Then you will see doors marked for the mortuary, skeet shooting, a room where we make fun of In-Jun bikes, and of course we have a ahh, umm, oh yeah a across the hall.

We had a BOMB MAKING room but, well, ahhhhh, 1 of the guys just didn't understand Blasting Caps very well so..... you know.

We have our own pub .

There are several places where you can familiarize your self with the .

So don't be a wall flower watching others . Get involved.

See you around mate. I am going to the commissary now.


**** ON THE SERIOUS SIDE ****

If you have questions about engines, exhaust systems, audio issues, etc… then:

2) Then come down to and Roll Over “Harley Davidson Tech & Mechanical Forum

3) Then come down to the section that would be most appropriate for your question like Audio Systems, Engine Mechanical Topics, Exhaust System Topics, etc… and CLICK on the topic you have a question about.

You will find the knowledge here is EXCELLENT and these here mates are willing to help you in any way they can. ‘juss be careful. There are some “Trolls”, so I suggest just ignoring them ‘ole farts.

See you around HDF. Come often, we have a humor thread, game thread, and a LOT of other stuff.

Have A Great Day Mate,

BuzzCap7

Yes, those are dandelion, flowers, which grow wild on the sides of the highway, in Alberta; generally start blooming in May. They are edible, I have seen some black bears and cubs munching on them, on the side by the Highway. Took some photos, I only shoot with my camera, btw. Peace. There is also a lot of farmers in Canada, who grow Canola Oil, with yellow top blooms, Canola, a cultivar of rapeseed, is a member of the Brassica family, which includes cabbages and mustards. After flowering, canola plants produce brown oil-rich seeds that are about the size of poppies. Canadian farmers began to grow rapeseed during World War II to produce an inedible oil that was used as a lubricant in steam engines. In the decades following the war, In 1978, the Western Canadian Oilseed Crushers trademarked these “double low” rapeseeds as canola (shorthand for Canadian oil, low acid). Here is an image, from Space (OLI) Operational Landsat Imager on Landsat 8 of Canola farm crop from July 2019. I hope this answers your question, BuzzCap7. ;-P


Canadian prairie in Saskatchewan, Alberta, and Manitoba turn a bright shade of yellow.
