Feel free to click the pics for larger Hi-rez versions 2014 has been one hell of a year for me and still is on some levels. Separation, leading to divorce, death of my beloved 10-year-old Beagle, Cruizer…work issues, deciding to leave Canada after almost 18 years and start over? So, what to do? Do I…
October 30th 2014 I made another last minute decision to take a 2 night ride across the border into Washington State. First time I think I have had no dogs to care for and absolutely no other real responsibilities at home. This prompted me to get away yet again. So, off I left around 1430…
A few weekends ago I went on a two night trip to Tofino. It’s a great little ocean town on the west coast of Vancouver Island. My goal in the future when off call from work and off work in general is to try to take as many “little” trips as I can to get…
If anyone has been following my “story” you will know I have recently separated from Cheryl. Just this past week I became the sole owner of my house and needless to say I am overwhelmed with mixed emotions. So, what I do best is get out of town on my F800 to clear my head. …
I camped out on a lake about 15 mins way from the dock where the fast ferry leaves Muskegon, MI to Milwaukee, Wisconsin.I took thisferry back in 2010 when I rode cross-country then. That year I went west to east. Also, I remember arriving in Milwaukee in 2010 the day they got over 7 inches…
761.2 KM’s I have to say this…after riding today and seeing so MANY cattle pens where I know they are being raised just for their meat, I hate the fact I like meat. I am not a left-wing nut about being vegetarian or anything but when I see hundreds if not thousands of cows living…
I need to start off by saying thank you to all the PM’s, emails and messages in general to the many out there that think I am “brave” for telling my story and going out on my own. It is what it is….I speak my mind and always have, perhaps too much. But in the…
Not enough long of a day…only 443 Km’s. Will try to make up for a short day tomorrow. The ride from Castelgar to West Glacier National Park initially looked like it was going to be another wet day. Even the motel lady was like you are going to get wet. But to my surprise this…
Let’s talk about my pet peeve from day one real quickly. My SPOT Connect is sucking up batteries like there is no tomorrow. I have emailed them about this because it’s not acceptable when you use lithium batteries to power a device that they last only a few hours. Went through 6 yesterday and had…
I am making progress in packing. I know doesn’t seem to be such a huge task and it’s not when all you have to do is focus on a trip. I look forward to the end of this week..many issues will have at least some answers, again personally and then I can figure out what…

Click the link, join the live Ride Report…will be posting lot’s of info there and many will comment…will post here are well as my FaceBook page. All…
Over night the resort filled up a bit more and it was my lone bike among all cars. Yesterday I had planned on exploring on the bike the surrounding area but after a beautiful sunrise… …sea fog rolled in not only around the water but inland too. It was destined to stick around the entire…
While many of you in the Northern Hemisphere are watching out your windows with despair and your bikes are all tucked in until the thaw…here out on the usual wet coast of BC we have an unusual break in the dreary weather and I happen to have the weekend off. Temperatures are freezing in the…
The weekend of November 23-24, 2013, Cheryl and I headed out about an hour east of where we live to get away for the weekend and enjoy the Bald Eagle frenzy that happens every year around here. Thousands of salmon come to the Chehalis Flats where the Fraser and Harrison Rivers meet to spawn. It’s…
