    Signals

    As we all know there are any number of signals motorcyclists use with each other. I passed a gaggle of riders in CBS today and a number of them gave me the fist on top of the head signal. That one was new for me and I was guessing "cops". Someone please educate me.

    24 Hours.

    My wee adventure started with an email I got a week ago from one of the Airheads. He was passing on an email about a woman named Jane Taylor who was hitting some locations talking about a book about a trip she and her husband took doing a little book tour. About the same time I caught wind of...

    Ride Reports.

    Please tell me why RR's are restricted to 10 000 words? I've got one written up and it won't let me post the whole thing. Not happy.

    Airheads

    Some of you surely know I was nominated to be the Air Marshall for the NL Airheads chapter. I asked the board if I could extend it to Atlantic Canada. So while over here I've been doing a little casting around trying to get in touch with Airhead members and try to find new airhead owners. Anyway...

    Distinguished Gentleman Ride 2021

    Here we are in 2021 and I am again going to join this event to raise $$ for prostate cancer and mens mental health. They've moved it from September to May so it looks like I won't be dapper on my '82 R65 LS but I will be riding solo probably in Nova Scotia where it looks like I'll be working...

    Lighthouse Game

    Ok, it's been quite a few years since we've had a half organized idea of a lighthouse game. I'd heard half recently that they had started tearing down more lighthouses on the island so I figure people who want to see them had better start cracking. On the Iron Butt Association lighthouse game...

    Crappy Alaska video

    I'm trying to use my old computer to get back to messing with videos again. It wasn't cooperating not uploading half of the video clips to the iMovie suite. Anyway this is the fist time I've messed with any of it in a bunch of years. The video clips are pretty boring which makes for a boring...

    Dreaming of Trans Taiga

    Sooooo...I get home yesterday from being gone for a week of work and get into a conversation with the missus and she tells me I need to think about a ride I want to do to fill my soul. Immediately I think of Africa with RTWPaul but in COVID19 times I quickly pulled back to wanting to try for...

    A short spin for new roads

    Sooo, I came up with taking a 3 day run to check out some roads I've never seen. My thoughts were head up the Baie Verte peninsula seeing as I'd never turned up that road. Looking at the forecast I decided to head out on what looked to be the warmest days. Come on Friday! Up at a decent hour I...

    Dakar 2020-the saddest day

    This morning our time Paulo Gonçalves was killed at KM 273 on stage 7 of the Dakar. He was running his 13th edition of the rally and reports say he intended this to be his last. The Gonk was well loved by all for being a true sportsman and all around nicest guy. All of the ADV F5 crew are gutted...
