My country.

How some of the Canadians see ourselves.

Welcome to my blog. As a bit of a background ~ I am a senior aged woman who lives on Vancouver Island, Canada. But first and foremost, I am a motorcycle enthusiast. Here on the coast, even though we are Canadian, there is an opportunity to ride all year round (although some days during the winter are "iffy"). I used to ride a relatively 'small' cruiser as defined in today's market - a Canadian Anniversary Edition 2008 Vstar 650 Silverado which was a bike I truly fell in love with. Although it was a smaller bike, to be honest I'm a smaller woman. I stand 5' 2" in my stocking feet and only have a 27" inseam, which rules out quite a few of the bikes out there. In 2013 I had the opportunity to upgrade to a monster cruiser - a 2009 Harley Davidson Electra Glide Classic. From there it was a 2016 Harley Davidson Heritage Soft tail. Come 2023 I lucked in to a 2022 Heritage which a friend promptly told me needed to be named Yaahl (Haida for Raven). Anyways - as we travel along this road we call life I'll reveal a bit more about myself (at some points it might prove to be too much). Come along with me.

  1. Hello Marg
    I accidently stumbled across your blog……..not true…..I saw the website link on your latest post for the CMC Port Alberni chapter. You and I actually had a brief conversation at the Cone Zone on Tuesday. I’m Mer aka TheSeaLady from the Nanaimo CMC chapter and wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed reading your blog.

    Your travels in a group and solo are interesting, also liked the packing info your shared for bike trips. Even after biking 5,000 kms to Alaska in 2010 I was able to add several of your tips to my current checklist. Thanks for sharing.

    Please continue with your blog, looking forward to reading more entries.

    Ride safe!
