Sorry everyone for the lack of blogs but has been full on for the lasr 4 days.
Ok last report we were in Seattle nod on the Sunday 27.07.2014 dave myself Coxy and Ocker went to the boing factory for a tour , the site is the biggest building in the worl ,410000 staff are employes here there are 19 cafés on site has its own fire brigade and security and it was certainly worth a look around. We have had some big days riding, with most days the last few days riding an average of 350 miles a day or about 6.5 hours on the bike . The guys are amazed at the scenery fron the big redwood forests to coastal rides, now we are up in the Canadian Rockies with huge mountains big rivers ,lakes ,waterfalls you name it we are seeing it and the best thing is the highways , big long straights and sweeping bends and some tomes the sped limit is 120 km an hour .there has been no major dramas some of us tend to get lost or side tracked most days or go down the street on the wrong side of the road but no one has received a ticket yet. Mark had a bit of trouble getting into Canada after us waiting in line, on our bike, in about 32 degree c heat for about 55 minutes, we got through ok but he got taken to a room and questioned, this is what happens when you own a Yamaha road star bike. On Monday we stayed in Kamloops which was a nice wee city/ town but went to get some beer and what a price on a par with NZ $22.00 for a 15 pack where in USA $18.00 for a 24 pack Bud , taxi driver to us to a nice bar/ grill for tea and the food was great. We are all eating healthy with salads and a lot of veges and fruit and dring lot of water with the heat, I think I have dropped a couple of KG ( or is that wishfully thinking)
Today we road from Kamloops to Banff about a 7 hr drive and this was through some national parks and went past lake Louise which was full of tourist and we're going to stay the night in Banff ( reminded me of queens town ) people every where and all accommodation was booked out or was going to cost $250.00 a night so we went down the road and staying at a Casino.
Right am going to try and attach some pics
