Summer trips

the Red Green approach to motorcycle apparel, wear lots!
may look like the michelin man, but stay warm and dry.

if there's a leak, use duct tape.

that electric heating thing, hmmm..

Thanks Art,

That is exactly the route I have planned.  I hear you on the rain, but that
is the only time I can do it so I'll have to take what I can get.  Besides,
after all the rain and cold I rode through four years ago when I went to
Banff and then out to Vancouver, in August I can't imagine it being much
worse, LOL!  At least this time I'll be better dressed and have heated
grips.  :-)
