Rounding out 2023 and onto 2024.

The day after I left Auckland the rain began to fall Arriving in Oregon for a nice Spring weather! Was at my house sorting some gear, getting ready for the events of the week, and was able to get out for a nice little ride on my other GS. Started my 1150GSA, Took a...

Small Break in the riding So While my bike is all packed up and being shipped to Australia, I will be taking a 2 1/2 week trip back to the US. I planned this long ago, as I want to continue my advocacy for Alzheimer's Disease. I made it back to Portlnad yesterday...

Good Bye New Zealand! Been a busy week getting ready to leave New Zealand. Still had time to meet some new people. Funny the things that strike you as you walk around a place. Spotted this garage can in front of a house...... might have been a business. Ok... Why ?...

Auckland. LOGISTICS: As I continue on this journey, there are always logistics that need to be planned, decided upon and acted on. I arrived back in Auckland last weekend, and started to wrap up my time in New Zealand. Had to finalize my shipping of my bike to...

Rotorua riding north Was so great to meet Clint and Rosie the next morning they were up early and off to work. That gave Simon and Lisa and me time to recover and spend a bit of time talking about the realities, logistics and experiences of being on the road for large...

Gisborne then East Cape Lots of signage to remind people to watch for Motobikes, but also warning us to be careful. This part of my ride is just enjoying the scenery along this east cape area. It is more remote and it is Easter weekend. Have a few clouds as I ride up...

Good Friday New Zealand has a holiday weekend for Easter, so things are closed down on Good Friday. My Bike is ready with a new chain and sprocket. Looks gold plated Ken rode with me out of Wellington and up the east coast for the morning before sending me off on my...

Wellington Started my day in Wellington enjoying a cup of coffee with Ken and Shirley! Great start! Then Ken showed me out to Motomart BMW so that Gareth could look at the bike and figure out the noise. Unfortunately my camera battery was dead, so i could not get any...

Picton I wrapped up my time in the south Island staying with Yvonne and Ken. They were wonderful hosts and have been following along since I met Dick and Diana in Chile! Thanks for the wonderful Dinner, Conversations and place to sleep!! Really enjoyed our time...

Nelson to French Pass, then onto Picton Has been amazing the weather that I have had for my time in NZ. As I ride east out of Nelson, it is a gorgeous morning! And what a great way to start my morning. Nice twisty pavement up into the mountains and it seems to get...
