The BIG circle

TorontoBrit · 06-01-2009, 06:56 PM

Recently traded my Triumph Bonneville for a 2008 Triumph Tiger 1050 ABS. Thanks to many hours surfing this website I am soon to embark on a nearly 15,000km trip over 6 weeks. Not sure the exact route yet, but heading out from Toronto around the Great Lakes, across to Jasper, into Vancouver, down the West Coast, through Washington, Oregon, and California. Possibly the Bonneville salt Flats, the Grand Canyon, Moab, Badlands(Black Hills, SD), then back home.

I am hoping to some how keep a blog: http://tigertrippin.blogspot.com/

Pictures of the bike are : http://rides.webshots.com/album/572195677QCHfak

Hopefully I am allowed to link those two...

I ended up doing about 6500kms in 10 days. Going around the Great Lakes, across to Jasper, a little day trip down to the Columbia Icefields, then over to Prince George. Down to Vancouver via Vineyard visit in Osoyoos. Heading back out on Friday to continue down the US coast.

That's one heck of a nice continental tour

I gave the extra stickers I ordered from you to my brother and his wife for their bikes(the ones on the ferry with me). My brother was the one that sent me to this site in the first place, so it seemed only fitting they show off their affiliation too.

After leaving Vancouver we went down the coast to San Francisco, Sonoma, Napa Valley, Yosemite, Death Valley, Las Vegas, Grand Canyon, Moab, Boulder, Mt. Rushmore, and I am now in Rapid City, SD, ready to tour the Black Hills and the Badlands.
