Today was the day. Bright and clear, but cold. Still too fat to cram myself into my proper gear, so had to do with my mesh "fat" jacket and pants over the usual clothes. Just so nice to be back on two wheels, even it if's just a mundane morning rush hour commute.

Weather continues to be absolute muck. Not a single non-rainy day here so far in 2026, and yeah its getting to me. But at least got to arse around with Vader and get the Lone Rider gear installed... (Apologies for shitty photo)

This photo gave me a grin just now. Virginia a while back. Such lovely back roads. I was riding with Mark Carrera who knows them like the back of his hand!
Cheers for showing me around Mark. I look forward to the next time. 👍👍👍

Delivered at night, in a heavy downpour with nothing but rain, wind, and dropping temps on the horizon. But she is here and I am no longer bikeless. #motosky #motorcycle #motorrad #F800GS
Nice view eh. Bike, car and coast I mean 😊 I was meandering my way down the coast of Oregon and on into California.

I'm busy working on a new presentation today & I came across this shot from a few years back. I've just been dusting the dust off 😁
I was riding through the hills inland from Santa Cruz with a couple of friends. Magic roads.

Random #motophoto time. This one's from California. I didn't see one other vehicle during the time I was riding this area.
Just me, my bike and a very peaceful road. Just look at the colour of the sky! Wonderful to ride under.

Another great spot from the past 6 weeks in the USA.

California. This was a drink of water and admire the view stop. I try to stop every 50 miles, and when there's a great view so much the better. But my eyes quickly turned to admiring this view 😁

Random #motophoto You'll not often find me on a freeway when I'm in the US. Backroads? Love them. It's where life is, and less dash!
This shot is from Washington last year. I loved meandering this area. I rode full of curiosity. Lot's to see.

This is from my zig zaggy ride in the USA last year. Virginia to Oregon. Furthest south? New Mexico. Furthest north? Washington. Furthest west? California's coast.
What an amazing spot Death Valley is.

Now that's a fine memory. One of the very first USA trips I did.
Starting in Phoenix, I was riding Al Jesse's really nice F800GS. Top bloke that he is, had loaned it to me. I bought my own a couple of years later!

... schnell zum Zeitschriftenhändler: Die neue MotorradABENTEUER liegt in den Regalen. Und mittendrin, auf einer der Seiten, ein Foto von 'Lady Sunshine' - und von mir 😎
Kleiner Spoiler: geht es auch um meine neue Homepage: www.doris-wiedemann.de

Day ??. Odds, ends, and outtakes. We also managed to find a nice sampling of BC's most squirrelly motels. It was... enlightening.

Day 7. 294 miles. Stewart, BC > Kitwanga > Smithers > Burns Lake. Pretty scenery and rolling hills. Sadly, my rear tire went from "just fine" to "oh crap" over the last 500 miles. I'm stranded until I can get it replaced on Monday 😟
#bmwmotorrad #rninet #f800gs #ocanada
Day 6. 300 miles. Prince Rupert > Stewart, BC > Hyder, Alaska. Stunning mountains, incredible glaciers, and my first return to Alaska in over 30 years!! Today has been truly wonderful 😊❤️👍
#bmwmotorrad #rninet #f800gs #ocanada #hyderalaska
Day 5. Port Hardy > Bella Bella > Prince Rupert. 16-hour ferry ride through incredible channels and untouched beauty. I also napped on the top deck 😴
#bmwmotorrad #rninet #f800gs #ocanada
Day 4. Courtenay > Gold River > Port Hardy. 300 miles. Amazing views, incredible roads, and dinner at A&W. Two out of three ain't bad 😉
#bmwmotorrad #rninet #f800gs #ocanada
Post-trip odds and ends!
Nearly 1,200 miles of blue skies, bugs, trees, and asphalt. Can't wait to do it again! 😊
#bmwmotorrad #rninet #f800gs
Day 4: Omak > Wenatchee > (Parted Ways) > Stevens Pass > Edmonds. 230 miles...and good to be home 😊 Now it's time to do some laundry, get back to work, and mentally prepare for the next trip in August!
#bmwmotorrad #rninet #f800gs
Day 3: Balfour BC > Salmo > U.S. Border > Kettle Falls > Republic > Omak. 250 miles. Killed about 9,174 bugs with my face shield, enjoyed a motorcycle tan (sunburned wrist), and near 100 degree temps! Still...nothing else I'd rather be doing 👍👍👍😊❤️
#bmwmotorrad #rninet #f800gs
Day 2: Vernon BC > Fauquier > Nakusp > Nelson. Probably some of the best motorcycle riding I've ever experienced. Incredible views, roads, and weather. Such a great day! 😊👍❤️
