"Fly-ride West ride Canada to Mexico & points between

Hi Roland,

Still reading your reports. I am now in Boise ID instead of Gilbert AZ.

Just realized I missed these awesome shots of Teluride & Black bear pass.













































One more bonus shot & I cannot remember where exactly this was but it is gorgeous isn't it?

Hi Mike, good to hear from you.
So hey by the way, I am now planning to attend both ADV rallies in Colorado this summer. Wkend's of July 19-22 & 26-29.

I'll be there with the Strom, "Suzi". She's in Phoenix right now.

Hope to see you & a lot of other ADV friends there.

Nice to read those reports again.
Can't believe the Strom made it down Black Bear Pass.
We are heading back out to Colorado this summer July 21, might even see you at the 2012 WestFest
When: July 27-29
Where: The M Lazy C Ranch, Lake George, CO.
If that is the rally you are going to?
Flea

Hey Flea, great you're going. Yes I'll be there & RMR. Trading off going to Alaska.
I'll be riding Suzi home after this. Take some time off riding the world.
Time for family, catch up with friends, local rides & deal with ongoing heart issues.
See you out there

Nice shots Roland!

See you at RMAR..

Cheers willie

I just read your RR all the way through. As I did, my admiration for your photography, your story, your spirit in overcoming personal obstacles, grew, and after reading this post for your courage as well. I've been to some of the same places, seen some of the same things, but my overall effort pales by comparison. I recently purchased a "Wee" Strom as my Fly and Ride machine from an inmate, and a garage in Phoenix to keep it in. I hope to be able to get down from Calgary and ride it a bit. Thanks for the inspiration.

Wishing you well with your "repairs." Mend well!

Hi Roland! Glad to see you made it home safe! You take that wee strom some pretty gnarly places mate! - Mike, (San Miguel de Allende, MX).

Aah good luck Calbertan! Phoenix is a great hub.
Thanks so much for the compliments, so glad you enjoyed the report.
Very much appreciate your comments.
Badly need to get caught up with the report, this type of feed back is a great motivator.

Thanks for the reply Mike. It was great meeting you in San Miguel. Read your reports, now I have seen what broght you back there to live NIce!
That road & route where you dropped your bike looks awesome.
Hope to see out there again and maybe ride that.

Let me know when you're coming mate. Some of my buds who made that ride with me were talking about doing it again soon. Me, I'm playing it pretty cool with the off-roading after a crash, (on pavement), last July near Santa Fe.

Yikes! Hope you're OK.
Be careful out there.

Get back on the road wherever you are

We are heading to Alaska in 2 weeks
Come join us!


I will be back up in northern Minnesota in September to pick up my Airstream/Truck/Tenere the heading back south after a trip to along Lake Superior and Thunder Bay
Maybe we can hook up then!

Cool!!!


Got me thinking maybe it's time for an update, if there is still some interest?

I've got lots more amazing pictures.

Please reply if you would like me to post up the subsequent adventure report???

Hi Roland!

I remember that pic..Nice going.

Got any big rides planned?

I would love to see more pics and tales of adventure.

Are you going to make it out for RMAR or WestFest?

Camped next to you at WestFest last summer and enjoyed getting to meet you.

Hi George,

Hey thanks for the response, hows it going?
No RMAR or WestFest this year unfortunately.
Local riding & family life for the summer with big plans for fall.
Will elaborate later.

Things are pretty good out here in NM. Bummer you won't be out here for the rallies, but I look forward to hearing about the "big plans for fall".

Fly-ride 15
Flew back to Phoenix.
Did a day of local riding there.


















Rode to Vegas. Lily flew in for 4 days.
We rode out to Red Rock canyon.
