The lucky bestid.

Steve Rossier said his stay in Death Valley was the most memorable part of his trip, where he said he “hit his head on the stars.” Shown is Red Cathedral, where iron oxide in the rock makes it rust and contrast with the surrounding stone and sky.

Lucky is right. That's cool. I've logged way over 100,000 scootmiles but haven't done anything that cool.

Is it ok to hate?

I was tooling along on US 1 today deciding if I should bother going home or just head west for ever. Now, after I'm home, I get pinged to read about this puke!

The lucky bestid.

I did see a Russian "Uro" with a sidecar today. The big fat guy who had it said it was a Russian copy of a Guzzi. Perfect shape. Left / right 90degree 2 cyl. Don't know what year, but he said he paid $4500 for it and the guy had more!! :-)

No, Rossier just wanted to see his country, which happened to take him through Canada when he went to Alaska. Rossier, who lives in Camelot, said everywhere he went, the people were friendly and the beers kept coming.

A motorcycle is the only way to really see – and feel and smell and experience – this country. I’ve made the Pacific – Atlantic run twice and loved every mile of it. Saying “The people were friendly” would nearly be an understatement – and I had a hard time trying to buy my own beer. Eventually I gave up trying.

Hi All-

Wow, I'm totally envious. I would love to be a "free spirit" with a cool partner to be able to do things like this before shedding this mortal coil. It really does illustrate how life is not a dress rehearsal. OK, back to the cubicle for work...
