So what’s this all about then? Well, like the title says, we’re a couple who’s decided to take the plunge. We’ve sold (almost) everything, packed what’s left onto the back of two motorcycles and ventured out into the world to see what we can see. We’ve also started a little non-profit to help people whose work in their […]

Kensington is a quaint little area of Calgary, close to where we currently live and is one of the first places I came back to after arriving from NYC in 2006. Only one week had passed since my three day drive back from the East Coast with a puppy and a rental SUV, filled from […]

I don’t know why it took me so long to figure this out. I’m actually a bit embarrassed. I must have gone through a bunch of “Like, I’m just so happy to be here” moments. I remember thinking that the wind must be much stronger in the United States. How could I have not noticed […]

My old helmet was pure lust. It was beautiful. I fought for this helmet tooth and nail every time Issa had threatened to bowl it down the interstate. The BMW System 5 (by Schuberth) was it’s name and it truly was lust at first sight for me. It fit my head perfectly and was stunning […]

Finding the right fit and protection all wrapped up into one good mit can get expensive and frustrating. Leather vs. textile, short vs. long, tight fit vs. loose. The overall feel of the glove can vary from shop to bike and the saying “fits like a glove” can be misleading in some cases. I find […]
