Motorcycles, Sidecar Rigs and the East Kootenays

Bridge across the Bull river

Church and Gold Wing

Side car rig stuck in the mud
The first two photos are of a trip I made around the area where I live. The first one is on the Bull river road and the second one is a church on the St Mary's Indian Band. The bull river road is mostly a gravel surface and is narrow in some spots so caution should be exercised when riding on it. There is a beautiful golf course and a hotel just a short walk from the church and is a great place to stay if you visit the area.

The last picture in the set is when my friend and I went on a back road adventure with his Chinese side car rig. In this photo we are truly stuck in the mud up to the bottom of the engine. There is a hidden tree limb in the water that we can not get over. We had to push the rig back and drive around the mud hole on the right side (as we look at the picture). Once he got it past the limb he had to drive it back into the mud hole and with me then pushing, we got it out of the mud hole.
