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............

May 23, 2009 - Trip over to Courtney, B.C.

Taking a short trip over to Courtney, B.C. to see my daughter Rebecca.

I decided to do the circle route... taking the BC Ferry to Nanaimo, then driving up to Courtney. on the way home going the Sunshine Coast route.

My daughter was going to a swim meet during me visit.





Motorcycle rider want-a- be


Rebecca saying good-bye for now!

Now loaded onto the ferry at Comox

Stopped along the way home, going down the Sunshine Coast... the best motorcycle road you could think of... low traffic, lots of curves, great seaside smells... a perfect ride!



You need to take a few ferries to get home.
