Prince Rupert to Prince George – Home Again!
/5 Comments/in Canada, North America, Travelogue /by allanThe road from Prince Rupert to Prince George is yet another spectacular motorcycle riding experience.

I tried to iSight (video chat) with Angie early this morning. This turned out to be a frustrating experience so we gave up leaving both of us grouchy and grumpy. […]

To The Denali Highway
/0 Comments/in North America, Travelogue, USA /by allanBefore leaving George’s last night I had the pleasure to meet to fellow riders.
