A little preview of our ride on Saturday July 14 12 at the KLIM Rally
Heidenau K60’s look brand new with over 3000 KM’s on them and over 100 off road. LOVE these tires!
After waking up to an unusual thunder and lightning storm passing through I could see some light coming through the dark ominous clouds. Prediction for the weather was to be sunny and hot for Maple Ridge, as well as HOT on the road. Well, the sun came out in Maple Ridge for us to leave…
In Coeur d’alene
Re-blogging my own post to just remind everyone we are taking off today for a couple of weeks. Blog will be update when we can and if you want you can take a look at our GPS track live as we figure out where we are going on this trip other than Rigby, ID. On…
On our trip will be using our SPOT Connect for tracking purposes. This is so useful for our friends and family to keep an eye on us while traveling and in way easy on us so we do not have to make phone calls. So, feel free as I say follow the bouncing ball and…
Another post to add to our post from yesterday about the new 2013 GS BMW Family. So, why are the “new & improved” GS bikes not making HUGE impression on us? Just disappointed that BMW did not take advantage of the opportunity to smash this bike out of the park. Does that mean we would…

June 2012 – Business & Pleasure (all pics are clickable for HiRez size) June 15th – June 18th Leslie was taking a course about Hospital Development and Organ Donation. Cheryl flew down on the 15th for some R & R while I was in my course. Great course sponsored by NATCO and was useful to…
Well, it’s that time again to get new “shoes” put on our bikes. I am amazed at the range we seem to be getting out of the Heidenau K60 tires. Leslie is over 23,000 KM now and Cheryl has over 19,000 KM’s on hers. Keep the PSI up and they last without jeopardizing the tread. …
Leslie’s first bike was sort of like this one but was BLUE…and she rode when she was 4 Cheryl rode at age 37, after graduating RCMP Depot….first bike was a Suzuki 2008 GS500
When we get home I will put together a post showing all that we did while down in Arizona once Leslie’s course was finished. First few days were business and then we had 4 days to explore. Goal was to see the Grand Canyon as much as we could. We drove, yes I mean drove…
Another shout out goes to Belgium & Turkey for visiting our BLOG over 1000 times! Thanks for your support!
Finally we get to go away on our bikes for more than a long weekend. This will not be an epic trip like last years 44 day Alaskan Adventure but it’s going to be a great trip just the same. We will have our SPOT Connect with us on tracking too. We do this not…
