Marrakech Express

A ride into an ancient world that defies description. I’d lost count of how many stray dogs I’d seen so far, and we weren’t even halfway through the trip. And I’d already run out of food to...

On Top of the World

From Whitehorse to Dawson City, the long way round. You can drink it fast. You can drink it slow. But your lips have gotta touch the toe.” A dehydrated human toe, that is. In my drink. It was time...

Rally on the Open Seas

A wild ride at the world’s only motorcycle rally on a cruise ship. This past year we were a bit anxious to travel and had been patiently waiting to hear if the High Seas Rally was going to set sail...

Long Ride, One Mission

Waiting 19 years for new riding gear was well worth the wait. In 2003, on a ride from Ottawa to Saskatoon for a family reunion, I made a point to stop in the town of Duluth, and its fabled Aerostich...

Epic Roads that Stir the Soul

Here I am once again thinking about how fortunate we are to be able to escape the winter in Cape Breton, NS, and feel the warm rays of a southern sun as we experience the freedom of riding a...

This riding attacks your senses from all directions. Red sandstone cliffs trimmed with green falling into the blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean was my first peek at the archipelago, as the ferry...

The Viking Experience

Riding in one of the most spectacular places on earth with Edelweiss Motorcycle Tours. Norway is one of those places that, I think, judging from those I’ve spoken with, is a destination on most...

The Prairies are NOT Boring

There’s plenty to keep the rider occupied while crossing the Prairies. “Are you going to fly your bike to Alaska” I had encountered the question more than once in the days leading up to my...

More than America’s Dairyland

Experiencing some of what Wisconsin has to offer the roaming traveller. Full throttle! Hard brake! Full throttle! Interstate 94 around the southern shore of Lake Michigan alternated every 90 seconds...

Once is Not Enough

Stunning seascapes, twisty roads and pretty villages are a constant around the Gaspé Peninsula. The curtain closes after the final bow. All I can think is “I wish it wasn’t over.” That’s how...
