Nitas New Bike!

Lost for Good

With big dreams comes bigger responsibility. Most importantly the responsibility to ones self, I believe, to try to see those dreams through. They wait patiently in your mind like the thought of an old friend who you just remembered forgetting to call. Like a whisper, enticing you now and again to step inside its bubble, […]

Bringing Home the Bacon

At first glance importing a vehicle from the US into Canada seems pretty daunting. But with some organization, a little research, a handful of patience and an open outlook to letting things unfold as they may, importing a vehicle can be pretty easy – if a little stressful the for the first-timer. Of course, it’s […]

Nitas New Bike! (Transamerica adventure)

As One Journey Ends, Another Begins

It’s hard to believe that our Transamerican adventure has ended. It seems like we’d been planning the trip for weeks prior to our departure, with countless nights spent imagining what the trip may entail. The road travelled delivered us twists and turns both literally and figuratively. The story of our trip unfolded in ways we […]

Home is Where the Heart is.

Wherever You Are, Is Right Where You Belong

I always knew from childhood that I must have been blessed with the soul of a gypsy. Handed down to me surely by my father. First recognized as a child listening to him as he shared his dreams of one day riding a Honda Goldwing around the Americas, with my mother in tow. I can […]

Bozeman to Great Falls, MT

Lewis & Clark Rule

If I’m to be completely honest, I don’t remember what (if anything) I learned about Lewis and Clark. I know that with Sakajewea they explored and mapped much of the northwestern United States including the areas that now make up Teton, Yellowstone and the National Forest south of Great Falls.

Jackson Hole, WY to Great Falls, MT (Yellowstone)

Geysers, Bison, Sulphur & Moose

Two days off in Jackson Hole have been exactly what the doctor ordered. Days 11 & 12 were spent eating, visiting Jackson-proper, riding the tram and peeking over Corbets Couloir. After 10 straight days and 3000 miles it was great to wake up late, enjoy some drinks and each-others company. Just wonderful. We woke up […]

Rawlins to Jackson Hole, WY

A Border into Heaven

Waking up in Rawlins we were able to take our time with only a 5 hour ride ahead of us. Looking out of the room window we saw deer that had set up a little camp by the bike, eating some greens while wandering slowly around the field. When they’re not jumping out at you […]
