Time is flying by and at times I feel like it’s all happening to fast yet too slowly. “It” being my transition from Canada back to the USA. I feel like I have been speaking about this for a long time but my decision to move really was only confirmed back in November 2014. Yet, my life changes seem ongoing and at times I have to admit I feel a bit scared and nervous of the so many unknowns. Continue reading “Lost in the Shuffle & My Therapy Bike”

I have a friend from New York visiting me here in BC. We actually flew back together after my amazing 2015 Winter X Country ride. Should really rename my last trip to Spring Like Ride. 😉 Anyway, I am back to BC and for this week playing tourist. Soaking all the beauty my area has with my friend.
I brought back sunny and warm weather after leaving New York on February 15th with Continue reading “Looking Through My Lens…Vancouver & Greater Vancouver Beauty”
I wish I could be in this run….Welcome to Canada 2014! I need to find a way to get involved….
Not often do I get the chance to post about a special topic and special friend. Not often will you read a post about a book that is about to be released that has been written by someone I know. Continue reading “Our Interrupted Fairy Tale”
Watch this dramatic short video showcasing why we live in BC and Vancouver. Watch the entire video and you will get a taste of why we are called Beautiful BC. Enjoy, especially for those who are not from here.
Vancouver to Toronto via the air. Nothing more just picks of the fog we have been having in Vancouver and how beautiful it was only a few hundred feet up in the air. In TO for business for the day and then back home tomorrow.
I think these type of shops are awesome and hope to use them if needed one day. Just thought their video about how they got started and their philosophy was worthy of a BLOG post! Do you have one of these where you live?
Motomethod is a full repair shop, for nearly all makes and models of motorcycles, old or new. Whether you need a tune up, a new tire, an engine rebuild or if it’s your own project bike…we can help.

Janice from Slim Signature Seats in Vancouver, BC is trying to create a customized seat for my BMW F800GS. I am excited to see what she can do to make this new 2013 BMW a more comfy street ride. So far we are impressed with the ESA option which allows the rider to choose between a firmer or softer suspension. This has proven to be a great addition to this class of bike. I am liking the ESA so much that I can honestly say in comfortable mode the BMW compares to the Triumph Tiger 800. Now, let’s hope the seat completes the over all feel. Stay tuned!

While Cheryl and I do not actually live in the city if Vancouver, we live near enough and I get the “pleasure” of commuting to this city at least a few times of week. September 29th, 2012 we went on a wedding cruise at sunset and for me, Leslie it was actually the first time I got to see the city from a water view.
Cheryl every year does volunteering downtown Vancouver with the VPD and takes a bunch of kids on a tour of the worst and best parts of the city. Trying to establish kids who will be leaders in their schools to understand policing and the real life drug problems out there. Part of the kids tour is getting to ride on the VPD zodiac around the shore of the city.
We left the dock at Granville Island. Very busy market place and huge tourist attraction. Continue reading “Spending an Evening with VANCOUVER, BC”

In Vancouver for a wedding cruise around the harbor. Beautiful night for a celebration!
St. Paul’s Hospital is where Leslie used to work. She knows Dr. Grant very well, has worked with the ICU many times and is proud to share this article raising awareness about organ donation. This is very near and dear to Leslie’s heart as she is now Organ Donation Specialist as well as a Hospital Organ Donation Coordinator for Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster, BC. Please take a second to read! Thanks!

VERY COOL PANORAMIC VIEW OF BEAUTIFUL VANCOUVER WHERE WE WORK AND LIVE!
Today was motorcycle show day for us. Although the weather really smarten up and actually was pretty nice out we drove anyway because Cheryl is not feeling well. I think everyone in the lower mainland must have headed out to the show today because the temperature was above freezing and there was no snow coming down.
