Hank Schut's Motorcycle Lifetime Adventures, B.C., Canada: May 31, 2009

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 31, 2009 - Ride of Dad

In this event, all proceeds go towards prostrate cancer research.

This is a yearly event, starting at Fred Deeley's motorcycle shop. the ride as most, are 80% or so harley davidson motorcycles. This ride took us straight through down-town Vancouver... police escorted, across the Lions Gate Bridge,ending at Amble side beach.

Nice ride, but the ride was slow, motor was overheating, with the fans blowing extremely hot air over me. Great for a cool day, but not today.
