Oof, I’m in Kenya at the moment. Texted some friends, who might be there and might get the text.

We’re doing two weeks and the itinerary is all set. I think it’s with National Geographic. Wife seems worried about pickpockets and robberies. I’m not sure where she got that from.

Going to do a couple of safaris in Africa. Should be interesting in Kenya and Tanzania. Anyone been yet? It’s good to get around and see other people, places and cultures. Though, this one, like Galapagos, is more for the wildlife.

A small cover to keep dew off of the seat.

The problem is that you could get something like the old Honda V65 Magna or Yamaha VMax, and just leave it in second gear, but they're not meant to carry a passenger, unless you both weigh 150 lbs (68 kg). It's a similar issue with some of the sport touring bikes. I'm not sure if they've...

The inside joke would be to check out the local Boston Pizza. ;)

You'd have to also take into consideration the GVWR. Some big bikes can't hold much weight. They have a passenger seat, but the passenger needs to weigh under 30 kilos.

A friend had a 650 Savage, and road across Canada on it. It didn't like to be in a single gear at highway speeds. It kept wanting to be shifted up, then down, then up, then down . . . Bought a 750 Shadow and it seemed fine, even for the rare two up, which differs from Shane's experience. My 650...

For me the solution was massage every once in a while.

No, but I was at the Alice Cooper riot that same year. Afterwards, they started zip tying the folding chairs together.

Our honeymoon was at Minaki Lodge, near the Manitoba border, which was a five star Four Seasons hotel, back in the day. Sadly, it’s changed hands, and burned down several times, since then. If you can get into one of the Algonquin Park lodges, they’re very nice.

Here, wouldn’t it be bang, bang, bang, reload?

Redo your honeymoon?

I regretted not keeping my 250 for another year, when I learned. It forced me to shift constantly, which started giving me an ear and a feel for the engine, and was good training for the future. The bike that followed could be left in second gear, and as long as you could move off, it would go...

Beautiful day today in Ottawa. Too bad I’m still tired from the weekend. Should be ok on the bike tomorrow if the weather isn’t sh!t.
