    The Quail Motorcycle Gathering 2024

    On Monday April 29th 9 of us are taking off from Victoria BC for Monterey Ca. for The Quail on May 4th
    This will be the third time for me and a couple of the other guys....showed my Cooley there in 2017 and was fortunate to win a prize....we also went in 2022.

    6 BMW's
    2 Hondas
    And 1 Moto Guzzi

    I'll be in my VFR1200F
    From Monterey (there for 3 days) we head to and stop in Kernville Ca, Las Vegas, Marble Canyon, Moab Ut (2 days), Tremonton Ut, John Day Or, Cashmere Wa. then home...15 days and around 6300kms
    I'll keep you guys updated, should be fun.
    Being able to do trips like this makes me realize how fortunate I am....since my accident I have decided to take as many trips as possible...one day I won't be able to.

      That would make my year Norm, to see you at one of my safety meetings!
      You are welcome here anytime and I would love to take some days to show you around the island and the interior of BC.
      Cheers

              We left Monday April 29th for the Quail

              My wife always takes a pic of me leaving the garage



              9 of us from Victoria made the trip...here we are waiting for the Coho Ferry to get off the island and go to Port Angeles Wa....a 1 hour and 40 min sailing.



              Our first stop was Astoria Oregon....only about 339kms but with the late start (ferry doesn't leave Victoria until 10:30am) we arrived shortly before 5pm....I really prefer to be at out motel no later than 4pm hence why I have a strict rule of "kickstands up at 7am" each morning.
              We always stay at the Atomic motel



              Our first dinner of the trip at The Bridge Water Bistro



              No rain on the first day



              The next day we left at 7am in pouring rain and it would stay that way for almost 400kms of our 640km day....but hey that was the only rain we got for 15 days and it was expected.

              Breakfast at Camp 18 outside Elsie Or.....70km ride...I always try to get us down the road 70 to 100kms before stopping for breakfast. It avoids mulling around at the motel....I made reservations in advance at all our breakfast places each day...my OCD Lol







              California baby!
              Our destination was Crescent City California....just into California....we always stay at the Curley Redwood Motel....the whole motel was made from one giant redwood tree that produced 57,000 board feet of wood. Curly Redwood is unique because of it's curly grain of wood.



              And another fantastic dinner
