Happy Thanksgiving!  On this day 40 years ago, 1 day after my brother's wedding, I embarked on an epic 10 day 6,800 km motorcycle trip on my '83 Honda Goldwing GL1100 Classic that included Twin Falls, Salt Lake City, Bryce Canyon, Grand Canyon, Tuscon, Bisbee, Old Tucson, San Diego, Death Valley & central California, Oregon & Washington. The '80s was a high mileage motorcycle decade with multiple California trips, Baja & Central Mexico & 2 years in Texas 😀 'Born to be Wild' Get your motor runnin' Head out on the highway Looking for adventure In whatever comes our way Bryce Canyon Oct 1983 Grand Canyon Dam Oct 1983 Grand Canyon Oct 1983 Tucson, Arizona & 1983 Honda Goldwing GL1100 Classic

   3 Day 1,368 km Ride:  Wells, Quesnel Forks, Likely, 108 Mile Ranch, Pavilion FSR, Sea to Sky Hwy Duffy Lake Oct 1st Sept 29: A 12 hour day from Burnaby to Wells via Hwy 99 & 97 (750 km), with a short visit with cousin David & Ann Marie Massey in Quesnel, to meet up with friend Cory at the historic Wells Hotel , who was on a weekend guided ride of the Cariboo for his friend Kelly from Clinton, The temperature dropped to 4 degrees C at Joffrey Lakes (Hwy 99 north of Pemberton) with light on/off rain until 100 Mile House, then sunshine & big billowy clouds for the remainder of the day. Hwy 26 from Quesnel to Wells & Barkerville is a very bike centric & driver enthusiast winding & undulating paved road in good condition. The east facing roof deck hot tub at the Wells Hotel was a great way to unwind & sooth the kinks of a full day of riding...we were hoping for clearer skies & a little aurora borealis entertainment.
