Eldorado to the Klondike: Riding Inappropriate Motorcycles to Out-of-the-Way Places

Old or unsuitable motorbikes, distant places, poor weather, and gravel roads, these are the common threads in Nick’s motorcycle travels.

He’d been hoping to ride out west a couple of years ago until a little heart trouble intervened.

Two years later, a short “shake-down” trip morphed into a 9000 mile journey across the continent.

Trouble free? Not exactly.

Riding a 1972 Moto Guzzi Eldorado, a Suzuki Burgman Scooter, and a 1976 Moto Guzzi Convert (automatic), and ever optimistic, Nick heads for Canada’s distant horizons, encountering friendly, generous people, wildlife, bike troubles, and inclement weather along the way.
