Rules of the Road Trip

Big rides require discipline. The following are rules and ideas that ensure a smooth ride for one person or several. In no particular order... 1. All motorcycles must have new or newer tires that have more than enough tread life to make it for the trip. The right...

Where do you go to avoid the rain, snow, and fog of California? Palm Springs!

I thought bad weather was a novelty in California not a consistency. Good thing we headed for the desert.   Day 1 - San Fran to San Luis Ibispo - Google Map Weather looked questionable, so I gave it a 50/50 chance we would stay dry. Temperature was ok! We skipped...

Seven reasons nuts are the best snack for a rider

Any time I am on a long day ride or a vacation ride, finding something to eat between meals can be quite the challenge. Our options are usually limited to the Gas station convenience store. You'd have to look really hard to find something that is half decent. We're...

Kettlebells. In Russia… Kettlebells work you out!

For many of us the biggest challenge about working out is time. Between hectic mornings, long commutes to work, and high maintenance kids, it is tough to make time for exercise. Enter Kettlebells. These cannonballs with handles are the old way to stay in shape. They...

A few thoughts at the end of a twelve year career

Today marked the end of my twelve years as a financial planner. Ending a twelve year career that had a remarkable impact on my life comes with a vast array of emotions. I probably won't feel the entire range until months from now. What I feel now is excitement. I...

Importing a 2010 Yamaha R1 from Washington

Bought a Yamaha R1 in the USA and imported to Canada. Easy! Decided to move on from the VFR and buy myself a 2010 Yamaha R1. The bike was bought from a dealer in Washington. Here is the story and process of the import into Canada. It's paperwork intensive but fairly...

Yellowstone National Park Ride

On July 31st Hilton, Michael, Ray and I took off on a seven day tour to Yellowstone National Park and back. Like any RideFar trip we stay off the interstates and try our hardest to hit every mountain pass, river road, scenic byway and national park! We did an...

The Sea 2 Sky Highway

It's like riding a racetrack with heavy police enforcement. This is a fantastic highway. From the start at "the church", Taylor Way & Hwy 1 to the end at halfway up the Duffey Lake Road. The ride starts at a very common meeting point. Usually you will find a few...

Mount Baker. The best local ride in town!

The best local, long distance ride. I love a good long distance trip but I can't spend my entire season out on the road (but I would like to!). Mt Baker is 240kms of near perfect road that is very similar to a long distance tour. Single lane, trees, mountains, and...

Summer Solstice Ride II

Summer = Osoyoos A annual trip to Osoyoos at the Safari Beach Resort! The fun usually starts Thursday and goes until Monday. 30-40 people gathered this year for a great ride through the mountains to the desert oasis of Osoyoos. Everyday was filled with great people,...

Safari Beach Recon Ride

We just couldn't wait until later this month to head up to Osoyoos! The first ride to Osoyoos of the year! This is a quick and easy ride through the Cascades to Osoyoos. The ride up on Friday was a little chilly and only 10 miles of rain. Ironically it occurred at the...

Leavenworth Schlaf

Oompah music! Here we come! This is now an annual trip! First of the season! A one nighter in Leavenworth, WA. What was going to be 3-4 riders turned into 11! We all left on Saturday morning and weather was decent. A little wet and cold to begin with but we never...

The EPIC Glacier Park Ride

Jamie, Nancy, Ray and I took off Thursday evening and rode until Monday. I have been wanting to visit Glacier National Park for a couple years now so it was overdue. As usual it was a trip filled with random events which just add to the fun. A motorcycle road trip is...
