Monsoon Season

I live in a coastal rain forest.  What that means is – we are now entering the rainy season and if you do not want to get wet, your riding season is now over.

Things get interesting around this time of year here.  Between the 100 – 150mm of rain over a 12 hour period, the King Tides    and the Super Moon   things are going to get interesting on my little island.

In terms of riding, when the weather goes sideways is when we have to be on our toes and leave complacency in the garage.

Welcome to my blog. As a bit of a background ~ I am a middle 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 and now, my new steed is a 2016 Harley Davidson Heritage Soft tail. 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.
