The ride started on November 13. Even though it's been in the planning stage for the last 6 months or so. It will be solo trip from Kelowna
! British Colubiia Canada-up until San Jose Costa Rica. Where I pick up my partner. She will ride Costa Rica and Panama with me.


The plan is to start in a little town in BC called Kelowna. Head straight south to
Yuma Arizona, then east to El Paso and down to Brownsville Texas. Then ill follow the east coast south to Panama , to a small town at the end of the PanAmerican Highway called Yaviza.

The route back up the West coast to Palm Springs then straight up to Canada.

The ride through Kennewick, Winnamucka was a little chilly. Vegas through to Yuma was nice.

Now if I can only figure how to post photos and my route??

From Yuma I headed east through to Tucson I met up with a couple of Calgarians finishing up on there trip through the Baja. Photos?? Thierry and his Friend on a African Twin. Great guys.

Through Tucson down to Tombstone. Tourist trap but nice. A little town south called Bisbee. That was a cool little mining town. Lots of history.
A definite "must see" if your in the area. Photos?.

Rode into El Paso Texas. Another big city. Lots of traffic. I couldn't get out there fast enough.

Once out of the city the weather turn to coldand Gail force winds. First stop was Van horn for two before it warmed up enough to ride
1-5 degrees??

From their I rode down to Brownsville for a couple of days. I got an oil change on the GS. But they refused to look at gas leak I've had since leaving Kelowna. To cold to stop and look at it. Nothing serious? Today, I pull the top and side panels of and had a goodlooked at everything. I found nothing?? Put it all back. Filled the tank. And no leak???.

Tomorrow November 23. I heading to Corpus Cristi. Never been. Thought I would take a look see since I'm close and don't know when I'll be back in this part of the US It's supposedly very nice there.
If I can post photos I will.

Friday is when I'm heading south through the Mexican border. To a town called
Tampico. I'll be using Air bnb through out my trip south. It's easy and cheap.
Plus you get to meet a lot of great people.
