i would do that as a figure 8 and hit highway 24 twice if you have the time. not sure what direction would be best on a bike.

If you do a figure 8 you get to hit it both directions :) If I had unlimited time I'd avoid the Coquihalla entirely - I find that ride boring as hell unless you are prepared to gamble on radar and really wind it out. Having had a close encounter with a moose (!) near Merritt years ago, I personally wouldn't recommend that either. Hwy 3 to Princeton, 5A to Aspen Grove, then 5A up past Nicola Lake to Kamloops has a lot of nice sections.

I am not free I have more just different parts of my body now.

whatever is going on with the thing growing on my kidney is till doing whatever it was doing last check which was a few months ago. I refused any treatment and going on living my life till I die. I get some kidney pains from time to time but I do not worry about it or take any drugs for it.

this thing called motorcycles is keeping me happy and my mind off of what is down the road.

Of course anyone with a bike can join me on any ride more the better. Even if it is just around town or whatever.

i'll have my bike plated in a week and will definitely come out for some riding with you. have you done any riding in washington yet? there's some great day trips down there i could take you on.

Is it insensitive for me to suggest you keep a copy of your diagnosis on hand for the possibility you get pulled over at 40 over? Would have to be a real dickhead to impound the bike of a guy who may not have much time left!

Over Stevens pass to central Washington State is a nice drive. You can go to Grand Coulee dam. Dry Falls is less than an hour south and it's a gorgeous vista.

Not on the bike you are riding - the best part of what he described is gravel. Flat, high speed, dirt-track style gravel granted, but it would seriously suck on a sportbike.

If you are heading south, make sure you take a short detour to Chuckanut Drive south of Bellingham. It's a short section down the coast, years since I've ridden it, but from what I recall it had some of the tightest, smoothest corners outside of a track I ever recall riding.

Pls videotape yourself applying it thus, then post to the internet and profit. $$$

This trip to Kelowna was definately an undertaking - Liam and I had been planning this project for 24 hours. We worked really hard to pull out all the stops in this video. We had slo-mo goggle shots; time lapses; pedal flips; outrageous product shots; unloading and loading the bike; walking through the field with your hand in wheat. At the end of the day this trip was all about just getting out and riding with all my friends.
