Vicki!

I need to stop the photo’s right there for now, because I have to thank a young lady by the name of Vicki! Winds at some points were in excess of 150 kilometers per hour! Vicki not only stopped on her way out to make sure we were all ok… She insisted on heading back into town, to get us coffee! Well not only did she bring us back coffee, she also brought back a stack of pizza’s! She wouldn’t accep

Well I've made it to the Rock! It's crazy windy here... A transport was blown off the road near the Wreck House, so for now I'm staying put. I'm using a curtisy computer, so I'll have to wait to upload more photo's...

Ok this is a bitter one… I know one very arrogant engineer that thinks that this hill is real… Well it is not! It’s actually free as I found out for motorcycles! Why do you ask… Well it doesn’t work quite right for motorcycles… The simple fact is that the white post which you may not be able to see is actually about 10 feet higher in elevation than the beginning! So, when you head to the “bottom”

First day :)

Well I finally headed out! :) Lots of repairs done, and I’m actually hauling spare engine mounts just in case :)… I headed out fairly early and have covered 647Km… Quebec City is just too much, I will definitely be back some day! I didn’t want to kill too much time since it’s so close, but I did get out to Mont Saint Ann for a visit during the summer. Well I was all guts and glory thinking I would

Just got into Virginia…

Before I say anything, “the tail of the dragon” was one of the best roads for a motorcycle I’ve been on, this trip. Having said that… After I read their web site I was a little leery about taking that road! Their web site makes the road sound horrific, but it’s not. The road is so well maintained, banked, and each turn is very visible. After some of the roads I have been on, this one was a very pl

Tail of the dragon

Well today I’ve made it to Hickory North Carolina. Yes I’ve made a bit of a detour on my way home. Tomorrow I’m going to hit the “Tail of the dragon” by the “Smoky Mountains”. Ok sounds like something out of Tolkien novel, but… I’m in :) Supposedly Americas #1 motorcycle road, 318 curves in 11 miles! I met this guy at a marina in Florida. He showed me his office, and the pictures from this rout lo
