She turns 16 in September and has been riding with me since she was 5. This summer she's taking the rider training and when she's 16 she will start riding her own bike. I can't wait for the day we ride out of the driveway together on our own bikes! <br /><br />Thanks for the story and reminder how awesome it is to have our daughters share this love we have for the open road.

In the US, people are generally nice, but reserved and inclined to mind their own business. Traveling solo on a motorcycle instantly makes you vulnerable but also accessible. This is particularly true if you have a warm smile. <br />Can't wait to have you back in the US again. <br />-JimIrv Seaver BMWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09539685605063750820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5844156020840041151.post-21849318595154310302017-05-31T10:28:28.572-07:002017-05-31T10:28:28.572-07:00Thank You Bob!

The GPS is a great tool.<br />As I get older and find that sneaking peeks, or worse, at the map while riding not terribly safe, advance planning makes for a less stressful ride. Not a slave to the route though. <br />Thanks on the pix. Just got back from a women's only off-road tour in Lesotho and South Africa. Must get those amazing pictures up. In the middle of planning Iceland so SA pix wait. Good winter project. <br />Cheers!<br />Nancynancymhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14688295368366398385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5844156020840041151.post-62656586739144290112017-05-31T06:01:22.526-07:002017-05-31T06:01:22.526-07:00We often use Priceline.com late in the day.

I will say some gps units have an option to seek guidance on only back roads or curviest roads which has provided some really cool rides for me in the past otherwise I wouldnt have traveled.
