Hank Schut's Motorcycle Lifetime Adventures, B.C., Canada: August 20, 2010

Preamble

My first few postings will be a brief history of my motorcycles I have owned through the years and their highlights, starting from 1966 to 2014... 48 years of riding

My blog is design for:
1.) to make a book (photo album) of my motorcycle adventures. I will have this blog printed off into a coffee table top hard covered book.
2.) for the public to view and promote motorcycle riding through-out the beautiful country sides of British Columbia, Canada.

What is my appeal for riding a motorcycle?

... the freedom it provides; not boxed into a vehicle, more aware of your surroundings.

... to experience the "smell"... of a clover-field, hay-fields, freshly cut grass, of wet pavement just after a hot day, farmers fields, and more

... the sounds of life around you.

... to ride with friends experiencing the same problems, excitement, belonging to a group

Yes, motorcycles are dangerous... just two wheels on the pavement, other vehicles do not see you and have no respect for you, always exposed to the weather and road conditions, bugs on your teeth, sore butts, sore throttle hand, sore back, but it is all worth it... we are alive and doing what we like to do... ride............

August 20, 2010 - Trip to 100 Mile with Eric to see Steve

After a few days rest at home, it was off to 100 Mile house, going the Whistler route to the interior.

Eric James from Sooke rode together to see Steve. We all lived in Sooke a few years back, not time for a re-union.

At the highway junction

the ride through the mountain pass was excellent, however, Eric bike was acting up... the front wheel bearing was starting to squeal.

At the junction ahead, we decided to ride down to Cache Creek, on the hopes to find a place that can make repairs.
