My Eyes Are My Ears: A solo journey thorough the USA and Canada by a deaf Adv rider

This is my first attempt to post a ride report. It will be a perspective from a deaf ADV rider who will report visual travels, sans sound. I may be the first culturally deaf rider who will ride the Trans-Labrador-Highway on a motorcycle. I'm retired and like most, have trouble finding people to ride with me on extensive trips. What began as a great idea one day suddenly seems to become a reality. So, with the confidence inspired by pure ignorance, I plan to launch a summer expedition to the great eastern White North. The plan is to ride leisurely through the North Eastern US into Canada and visit the following; New Brunswick; Prince Edward Island; Iles de la Madeleine; Nova Scotia; Newfoundland+ (Petit Miquelon, St. Piere Island); Labrador; transit the Trans-Labrador Highway to Baie Comeau, Quebec and on. My ride is a 1200 GS. She’s ready set to go and eager to carry me to points north. I plan on departing this week. As pictures will tell a thousand words--stay tuned. I will try to post as many as I can, subject to internet availability. I hope you enjoy my pictures and posts.

Looks like the making of a great ride! Be safe and lets see some pictures.

Look forward to your ride reports & pictures! Good luck & ride safe!!

Atleast you dont have to wear earplugs.

Definately looking forward to your trip report!

Good luck on your trip. Last year, when I went to Alaska, I ran into a couple of hearing impaired brothers that were riding to Prudhoe. On Harleys no less.:eek1

Awesome! Another great ride to follow along with.

Here's my steed and the rider

Great use of color on your GS! looking forward to reports....bruce

As I have been a product of Deaf Schools and their education decided to visit the 4th oldest school for the deaf in the US. Staunton, VA.






Woodrow Wilson's birthplace...





Oldest House in Staunton, VA....1700's and is today still occupied





Dear viewers: This concluded my report and pics...maybe it's kinda dry, but give me a few more 100 miles..needs polishing and spicing up?? Commends please!

The trip has a great start. I'll be following along with you through your ride report. Look forward to more.

Enjoyed your first report...not dry at all cuz you've given us an insight on NC & VA. Especially liked the pics of the deaf school and other historical site. You did look like you needed a cup of coffee and could have used your comb. Enjoy your ride and look forward to the rest of your ride report. Good start!

Sweet report and pics. I am really surprised to see that the old house in Staunton, VA is still occupied. Have fun on your trip and keep the pics coming.

Stay safe and take care,
