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 […]
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 […]
Tenerife We didn’t have an opportunity to do the hiking we wanted to on Tenerife, the weather was colder and wetter, and snowy atop Mt. Teide, so… We ended up driving from La Orotava to Playa de San Juan. San Juan is on the southwest coast, and is north of the gong show of beaches, […]
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 […]
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 […]
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, […]
This is a trip summary of our August 2017 excursion from Victoria, to Nakusp – destination for the Horizon’s Unlimited Canwest gathering. It seems like a while ago now, but it was a very severe fire season in British Columbia. We weren’t sure if we were going to go to Nakusp at all; our intention […]
