New Bike, New Adventure for 2017!

I have owned Jenny, my 1997 YZF 600r for almost 12 years, she has taken me on many adventures and has been my main travel partner during them. I have been wanting to do a cross Canada trip for Cystic Fibrosis Canada, and also have been realizing it is difficult in my 30's to take Jenny long distances, so, why not one last send off!?

In June/July (schedule being worked up) I will be driving from Halifax to Vancouver to help raise funds, awareness, and issues to access in medications for cystic fibrosis through Cystic Fibrosis Canada, as I have partnered with them previously for a trip across the United States and Ireland. I had hoped to accomplish this last year but due to time constraints and my health I did not see it fit to do so.

My hope is this year to be able to do so, and, in choosing to do this, I plan to leave Jenny in B.C. where hopefully someone can enjoy her on the west coast! SO-this meant I would need a new ride. I realized winter is an opportunistic time to purchase as costs are lower and a deal may be had. I want to thank Andrew from Fredericton for the correspondence and for the new bike--A 2013 Triumph Thruxton! I will posting more on her as the months progress and it gets warmer to ride. I also need to thank my good friend and cafe racer enthusiast Ian (who I've ridden with in the Distinguished Gentleman's Rides) to help secure a truck and help me painstakingly load and drive the new Thruxton and provide great company for a long trip. Secondly, Ian and I will be fine tuning the YZF so it is ready for the cross country adventure! Thank you again man!
