First ride on Darla .....


My first real ride was last weekend. We ran over to Kelowna and back. I had a reservation at the Coast Capri Hotel. Very nice hotel and I was able to park the Glide right out the front door. I rode over on Friday through Kaslo, over the Farquier ferry and on Highway 6 to Vernon. That is a great motorcycle route, but just watch for rocks on the road. It is pretty narrow, with almost no paved side and the logging trucks toss rocks off the side onto the road.

We did some shopping on Saturday and headed back on Sunday over the Rogers pass. It was a pretty good trip where I was able to sort out some of the bike and what I needed for the longer trips I have planned for the summer. 


A really nice custom. I met this fellow in Sycamous during a coffee break.

A jet flying over the Bugaboos, which is just south of Golden.


Columbia Lake, just north of Canal Flats.


One of my favourite GoTo lakes for a nice picture. All the other pictures are right out of my iPhone 6, but this one was worked a bit in Photoshop, to bring out the colours a bit more, and to get rid of a power post and line.
