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

Motorcycle # 6 - Honda CB 750 - on loan

I am now on vacation in Switzerland, going with a Swiss lady touring the Alps. I had the opportunity to ride on her Honda CB 750, a great powerful motorcycle... enjoyed very minute on this ride, a perfect way to partake the Alps.

Riding Doris's Motorcycle, while she drove on a friend's bike.


I spent two weeks riding this motorcycle through the Alps. My girlfriend Doris, was/is a wonderful tour guide, she knew ever fantastic motorcycle routes around the Alps... at the top of every mountain pass was a restaurant, great resting spots for coffee and meals
