The Map of Rivendell Riders shows exactly 8 of us north of the 49th. Of course, there are those off the grid and far in the mountains on old Quickbeams and Redwoods still cruising around. Cheers, John On Tuesday, July 16, 2024 at 5:00:4

Checking in from Vancouver BC as well! I've bought three Rivs direct from Walnut Creek and one off Joe on the list here. If I ever find myself buying another Riv (shouldn't ... but never say never) I would certainly consider getting thru CL Cycles. Not sure it would be much cheaper in the end
