Redhed's Rambles: Colorado

http://redhedsmototravels.blogspot.com/2013/06/colorado.html

An eclectic collection of a motorcycle traveller's missives. Monday, June 10, 2013. Engineer pass is up there somewhere. Before I fully explain how lucky I have been today, I had better get caught up with pictures and comments since my ride in Cuba, which was only a few weeks ago. I am very grateful to my friends Pedro and Jacob, with whom I had travelled in Patagonia. I stayed at Pedros' place for a couple of days while Blondy was having her 125,000 service. Pedro rolling through Patagonia. I headed nor...

Redhed's Rambles: Panama City Panic

http://redhedsmototravels.blogspot.com/2012/11/panama-city-panic.html

An eclectic collection of a motorcycle traveller's missives. Thursday, November 8, 2012. I have managed to find the BMW Motorrad people, get Blondy in for some work, and more or less navigate through the city. I have griped about Garmin before, but I must say that today Mr. Garmin did his job in getting Blondy and I back from the dealership. Heideneau rear: from Victoria to Panama and still has life, I hope. I have also confirmed that I will be loading Blondy onboard the Steel Rat. Shiny new brake pads.

Redhed's Rambles: 2015-07-05

http://redhedsmototravels.blogspot.com/2015_07_05_archive.html

An eclectic collection of a motorcycle traveller's missives. Thursday, July 9, 2015. A beautiful Spring in British Columbia meant that my wanderlust was ramping up as quickly as the temperatures. I decided that I would point my nose towards the Yukon and the Northwest Territories. I also decided that it was time to invest in a second touring bike, as Blondy has accumulated over 170,000 kilometers and needed a bit of a rest. Leaving Chilliwack, BC. Both bikes prepped and ready. Afer a great visit with my ...

Redhed's Rambles: The Girl with the tattooed Breast

http://redhedsmototravels.blogspot.com/2015/03/the-girl-with-tattooed-breast.html

An eclectic collection of a motorcycle traveller's missives. Tuesday, March 24, 2015. The Girl with the tattooed Breast. Said:"You're an American, aint'cha? And a meat pie. The poor girl was stuck out in upper Queensland, in a remote roadhouse, and this smart ass bikie was probably her only customer for the morning. In honour of my daughters' birthday, I think I will lead off with this one:. The wedge-tailed eagles were munching on this road kill, so I figured it was safe to stop and say hello. Most ...

Redhed's Rambles: 2016-07-17

http://redhedsmototravels.blogspot.com/2016_07_17_archive.html

An eclectic collection of a motorcycle traveller's missives. Tuesday, July 19, 2016. A Little Dirt on the way South. It seems that the skies opened up around Fairbanks, and the next few weeks were a series of heavy rains and winds. Needless to say, I spent more time riding than taking pictures. I enjoyed the ride over the "Top of the World" road and I was soon crossing the Yukon at Dawson City. I think that this shot was taken around 10 at night. I love that midnight sun. Although I did not see any carib...

Redhed's Rambles: Homer to Fairbanks

http://redhedsmototravels.blogspot.com/2016/06/homer-to-fairbanks.html

An eclectic collection of a motorcycle traveller's missives. Sunday, June 26, 2016. After a tour of Homer, I headed north from the fishing town back towards Anchorage. By early afternoon I had passed Anchorage and Wasilla and was looking forward to seeing Denali, the great mountain. Unfortunately, it was socked in, so I kept going north. I found a room at the University of Alaska in Fairbanks. At the Sunday market, there was an interesting rig from Britain. It was some model of a Morgan, I believe. Red i...

Redhed's Rambles: Red is Bad, and White is Good

http://redhedsmototravels.blogspot.com/2015/03/red-is-bad-and-white-is-good.html

An eclectic collection of a motorcycle traveller's missives. Wednesday, March 11, 2015. Red is Bad, and White is Good. I scanned the horizon for Caribou, but not a one was seen. This has to be the most southerly Inukshuk I have seen so far. The old Ghan railroad ended here and this engine is all that remains of headier days. Somebody has way too much time on their hands, or perhaps has trouble keeping those birds in the air. No road trains out here, and the good news is that one can see the dust coming m...

Redhed's Rambles: 2015-12-20

http://redhedsmototravels.blogspot.com/2015_12_20_archive.html

An eclectic collection of a motorcycle traveller's missives. Friday, December 25, 2015. Keep Calm and.REFLECT. I have had a very fortunate year, and I am extremely lucky to have travelled through Australia, up to Inuvik, and down to wondrous Moab. One of my friends commented not too long ago that she felt "travelling" was addictive and gets into one's psyche in such a way as to make normality an impossibility. When will the rain stop? Will this be a cold, snowy winter? 8220;Who really can face the future?
