Test Ride and Sticker Shock
I was staring at my phone (as one does) looking at motorcycles for sale, when I came across an ad for one that captured my attention – a brand new 2021 Honda CRF 300L Rally for $5249! I quickly brought this to Angela’s attention, and we immediately agreed that at that price it would be […]
Okay, so we did a thing…
What better birthday present can there be than to have our local motorcycle dealership host a Yamaha demo ride day? Michael really wanted to go for another ride on the T7! This ride, like many others, was an escorted group ride, but this time the route included a brief stretch on the highway. And so, […]
Lighthouse and wild horses in Corolla, North Carolina
We just might need to call this our lighthouse tour! Today we headed north from our basecamp. Our first stop was going to be Duck Donuts in the town of Duck (hence the name), but as we had recently eaten we figured we’d enjoy that tasty treat later, and so carried on to the Currituck […]

Here, we learned a little about the Algonquin tribe, the lost colony and the ship that brought them […]

Riding the rainbow unicorn at the IMS
The border finally opened up for people in the US to enter Canada without having to quarantine, so after over a year and a half we could go and visit Michael’s family in Toronto. And eat roti. Michael really likes Trinidadian roti! We scheduled the visit so we could stop on the way back at […]
Beating the heat with science
It was 93°F today, with a “feels like” of about 102°F. But Michael didn’t notice, because of this new shirt he just bought. Michael is constantly doing research and trialing new gear and items, and he’s not one to brag about a product generally. When he first read about this shirt he was quite skeptical, […]
