Utah

This is another post, written almost three (six) years after returning. We’re updating the website, and organizing photos. Utah is so beautiful, and we had so many photos, I thought it would be easiest to have one post with the better photos within. Capitol Reef and Navajo Nobs Hike Observation Point hike Corona Arch Hike, […]

Lars Vegas!

Currently we’re in Ocean Springs, Mississippi, visiting with Lars’ daughter Marie, her husband Ray, and their people loving, black lab, Winnie. We have left the bikes in Las Vegas, using it as the jumping off point to and from here. We were in Las Vegas for a few days, mostly needing the days there to […]

Death Valley

We’re in Las Vegas, we left Death Valley yesterday. We’re doing some bike maintenance and there’s a change in plans, so will be here for a few days. We were in Death Valley for a week, riding up from Mojave, to Ridgemont, and then to Panamint Springs for a night. After that night, we camped […]

Wow, what amazing riding!

The last post I wrote was about turbulence and noise. Well, I’m still working at it, hopeful that some setting will work. On the way, we have experienced some really amazing roads, landscapes and riding. This is a little trip summary. We rode from Windsor, California, to San Francisco’s Golden Gate State Park, to  Monterey, […]

Turbulence a-head

This should be easy. Get up, pack bikes, ride, eat, sleep. Repeat. We’ve been away for just more than a week, and it’s definitely an adjustment, getting used to travelling, and moving by motorbike. Not complaining, we are in a very privileged position to be able to go on this trip together, but, I did […]

On the eve of the longish trip

Soon, we’ll be heading out on our motorbikes for an extended trip in the U.S.; with ultimate destination being Mississippi. As the trip is huge and parts of it are a really big unknown, Lars and I are both realistic and not terribly focussed on the destination. We realize that if it isn’t working, or […]

Practically reflecting

We’re just back from a month away from home, finding some sun from the wet and grey west coast Canada winter. Travel is always a wonderful opportunity to get perspective on things, our home lives. This little post is a combo of topics from our Canary Islands trip; the practical and some musings. Our primary […]

What a difference a week can make…

The last post was about our travel and destination not being perfect. Two weeks and a day has passed since we left home; and it’s been one week plus a day since we’ve been on La Palma. Wow, I love it here. It’s February, and according to our host, it’s the coldest month of the […]

We’re here, and it’s not quite perfect.

No, I don’t want to be a complainer, that is not what I do. But, I do love warm weather, and have been seeking, craving, desiring it for a little while now. Travelling from Victoria to Tenerife via London, with each transit, I, (and I’m sure Lars too), we are bidding wet, winter and grey […]

Long-ish trip on big-ish bikes

It’s early November December 2017 and we are in the planning stages of a bigger motorbike trip, longer than anything we’ve done to date, so this should be interesting. The farthest destination ahead of us (so far, anyway) is Ocean Springs Mississippi, Gulf Coast U.S. We’ll be travelling from Victoria, B.C. Canada. Why there, and why now, […]
