While I was in Anchorage, my hosts and their friends convinced me I must take the boat from Whittier Alaska to Valdez. I’m obviously aware of the Valdez history and would be interested to see, however riding my motorcycle back the same way I came would be far cheaper than taking this boat. These well traveled people insist that this is one of the...
Ok.. on to the next road I am supposedly not to take…! It’s called the “Top of the World” Highway and apparently several motorcyclists have died on this one as well. One just 2 weeks before I decide to ride it. I hate to even report such things, as for one, it’s very sad, but secondly, in perspective as I said before, there...
So… the Dempster experience continues. I’m still just doing my little test of the road.. and still have NOT A CLUE why people tell me it’s too dangerous!! This road is, at least this far, one of the nicest easiest dirt roads I have ever been on.. anywhere.. even in the rain! They certainly look after it and maintain it very well...
Onwards and upwards toward the top of the world from Whitehorse on the Klondike Highway! Road hazards.. 😉 Road hazards extended family… too cute! Spotted this old wood cabin in the woods… my mind starts daydreaming about what it must be like to live a life up here in the bush, off the land.. pretty harsh but beautiful! Rather common site ever since...
It’s all about the cute little bears in this part of the world!! I made a mad dash through British Columbia and had a plan to travel up the Stewart-Cassiar Highway toward the Yukon. One of the great recommendations from nearly everyone is to take a 67 mile diversion to Hyder Alaska.. Why not.. I’ve never been to Alaska, I am so excited to go there.. on...
This was a really odd day.. can’t say I wasnt’ warned!! I’ve left Glacier Park and need to travel through a bit of another Indian reservation.. I’m traveling now through the land of the Blackfeet tribe toward the Canada border and I saw this red band around a tree. I wonder what it means… red is for warning, right? Well the border...
I’m back on blog!! Sort of.. only a quickie while bike is in for repairs.. now where did I leave off.. Here I am leaving Yellowstone (in August) and found this important little sign to pass on my way to the north of America.. I’m on my way to Bozeman Montana to visit and stay with Barton Churchill, whom I met last year in Russia.. a man with very...
Yellowstone National Park.. has been on my list for years!! But first a little lead in to it.. Traveling west from South Dakota, I stopped for the night outside the park in Cody Wyoming. Named after the all too famous William “Buffalo Bill” Cody. A bit like Elvis, could swear I actually saw the guy alive and well walking down the street...
Straight after visiting Indiana, I make my way up to Wisconsin. I found a place online that has my favorite tires, and lucky that they specialize in custom design KTM parts! I just went there for my tires as they are not available in Indiana. You know I’ve always had issues with my side stand, and Craig from CJ Designs has created an adjustable side stand...
Who’da thought many years ago when I moved from Indiana to South Australia, that I would actually ride all the way back on a motorcycle!!?? I sure didn’t!!! Wasn’t even a blip on my radar.. Now that I have, it will probably be something I will remember in to my old age… ha! The last few months have been go go go.. so much...
