Part 6–California Chicks having converged on Canada come home!
We spent a couple of lovely “off bike” day in Portland, giving me a chance to see my son, my sister and my mother. It was wonderful time spent. Tyler had an old friend living in Lake Oswego, right south of Portland, so she and I spend a few days away from each other. Tyler…

Part 5–California Chicks Converge on Canada
I awoke early on Castlegar departure morning to look out side and see that torrents of rain had taken over the outer world. The ground had rivers running across it and I knew this was definitely going to be a test of my FirstGear riding suit. I have no rain gear per se but the…

Part 4–California Chicks Converge on Canada
On our way to Elkford, BC. This was to be my third trip to the Nelson area, the first being in 2007 when I made my epic solo journey covering seven states and two provinces. I had only been riding for three years and was excited to take such a long and adventerous journey. I…

Part 3–California Chicks Converge on Canada
Leaving Grangeville was a wee bit chilly as the morning temps were barely 48 degrees. I was still stunned that since leaving Nevada we encountered very little “summer”. Bundled up with my heated gear we headed to Montana. Tyler, bundled like a kid in a snowsuit! All the wild flowers were in bloom on this…

Onward to Canada, Two California Chicks Converge on Canada!
I am unsure why, but this has been the longest it has taken me to put together a ride report of a recent journey. Whether it was the thought provoking visit with my aging dementia ridden father the first day, or the fact I spent nearly every evening visiting with my riding buddy giving absolutely…

A ride approaches…
Kootenay Lake, BC, Canada As many of you know, I tend to be a distance rider and less of a daily rider. I’m quite content to wile my day away swimming in the backyard pool, or creating a fashion collage. I have even been know to do an original piece of artwork or a fine…

My woes at the California DMV or the 10th Circle of HELL!
I went to DMV yesterday to renew my plates and surrender my dmnshea plate since Gary doesn’t love riding the Bandit with my personalized plate. In my wisdom, I got numeric plates for both bikes so we can switch off. Anyway… The DMV woman tells me I have a parking ticket in SF that needs…

Finally…a new place to park my motorcycle, one that I’ll call home!
Daylight savings time ended early this morning proving that winter is finally settling in on this the sixth day of November. Scanning my personal website, I notice I’ve been more than casually remiss on my blog posting and for this I feel guilty, but honestly I have to tell you that I have been totally…
