Canada to Wisconsin

Well Guys! Canada and the road to the Rally! If in Montreal you really must drive across the Victoria Bridge, The road is a metal mesh, it really is disconcerting when you look down and see the river rushing below as you drive across.

The Drive across Canada was nice, some lovely scenes with lots of mountains, lakes and hills. Once you approach the great lakes its pretty much flat, i can see now why the farmers came out here and its called the great plains! just miles and miles of rolling hills. Border was no problem coming back in, only question i got asked was, "whats your golf handicap" .. so i thought 10 would be respectable number to choose.

We stayed in motels en route, four guys in one room, and what a motly collection, a Quebec'r, one from Maryland, and one from Pennslyvania, all agents of course! and me. Strangest memory must be teaching fencing footwork to a group of strangers in the hotel lobby because there was nothing else to do!

The rally is great, there is around 8000 bikes here, most of them BMW, and most of the gear suppliers, never knew there were so many accessories! wish i had a larger credit card! (sponsorship any one???) I posted a few pics of the rally in the photolink on picasa so take a look. Richard, i think you would be in heaven here!!

The other attraction around here is the great lakes themselves, there are a few fotos of lake superior, its huge, more like a sea. Next stop is Colorado, for some off road riding, some high mountain passes, and some rafting or kayaking in Durango!
