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...
This makes me think it looks like we’re flying in on the space shuttle!! Big apologies for an awfully behind blog.. lack of internet and being on the road have thrown me far behind.. as usual! This fly over part of the blog doesn’t really count, because I didn’t go to Iceland or Greenland. Iceland was simply a stopover on my way from the...
Time is nearly out.. I must get to England! Another overnight ferry (I wish I kept count of the ferries on this trip!) to get across from Rotterdam Holland to Harwich England.. which as normal sails through the night and arrives very early in the morning the next day. Off the boat and a mad dash of around 320 km to Ripley England to attend my first ever...
Yepp.. I’m in Holland! I’m here for 2 reasons. First, to get some special attention to the bike. Captain Magadan emailed me weeks ago suggesting I come to see his best technician at Hyperpro to get my suspension worked on. His friend Bas was kind enough to make an appointment for me to come in on his day off!! You know he’s good if...
I think I mentioned that my original plans to travel north to England was via the French coast with a visit to Normandy.. This wasn’t going to work due to ridiculously bad weather, so I diverted to Switzerland.. good call!! Very happy I did! My next overnight stop in France, however, still welded some serious American history that I didn’t expect...
After I finished my bike service in France I made my way to a small town near Geneve Switzerland. I have friends here I met in Fiji a few years ago and they have invited me to stay. As I said, I am on a mission to go north, but this country is so beautiful… like SO beautiful, I stayed here two nights.. I won’t need to explain much as the photos will...
