We finished the servicing in the early afternoon and after getting lost in the mountain borough of Bozeman, managed to find the Jermunson estate. Karl and Neil had done us proud, setting out a buffet of handguns for the World By Bike crew to sample. We started with .22 Revolvers and Automatics. Feeling confident we […]
Some say he is the lost love child of Wonder Woman and Oscar the grouch. Others say he was found under a Motul box and brought up by a Formula 1 tech team. We just call him “Dave”. And Dave was at his indefatiquable best in the normally sleeply little mountain town of Red Lodge […]
You find out pretty quickly that there are two sort of motorcycle stores here in the States. The first has lost your booking, gotten in the wrong parts and generally couldn’t organise a piss up in a brewery. The second are people who immediately understand the spiritual significance of the world by bike journey and […]
We are in Boseman, a pretty little Montana town and I’m waiting in the lobby (of a nice modern hotel), waiting to join the others and go with oil and filters to do the almost 20,000 service. That is apart from Gareth who is staying here today to get his business and writing commitments sorted. […]
As always when doing a trip such as this one there is a lot of planning before leaving and of course friends and family left at home. Joanne and Gareth are away from their house and business,children and that very special grandchild as well as both their mothers back home,Roger leaves his wife,children and grandchildren […]
We are in the state of potatoes Idaho. We are cold and the ride yesterday through the high foot-hills of the Rockies was a battle with gale force cross winds and sleety rain. We are camping in Yellowstone National Park tonight, it is 7am now and very chilly but looks clear. Last night we went […]
It took us 2 months before we were offered a Park Pass allowing access into any of the Parks for $50, luckily it was before the expensive Grand Canyon and we have covered our costs already. We are pretty canyoned out as this part of the country is a spectacular place with rock and land […]
Stopped antibiotics today and seems fully recovered. Thanks for the messages, but sorry the requests for photos have been refused by the patient. Perhaps I should be selling the used plasters on Trademe.co.nz.
As some of you heard on Holme’s breakfast show Gareth wasn’t well enough to talk, so I got a say at last. He has a saddle sore or maybe a pressure sore on his rear, probably from all the hours he is sitting on the computer as well as the motorbike riding. Then the glands […]
Sometimes I wonder why we do the public side to our personal travels, but an email from my friend in Wellington has made me realise why. Her Mum, Gretta, in Kaikoura has been rather tardy about getting into the internet until she had to follow the trip. I always try to call in to say […]
