New Year New Ride: Triumph America

Well I finally traded in my old motorcycle and got a new ride, a used Triumph America. Every bike has pros and cons. I really liked my old bike. That's why I put over 150,000 km on it. 

Yet realistically if I'm ever going to go on my three long rides across Canada and the US, I need something reliable with a few less km on it. I found a really good deal on one and I thought it was one of those situations where you have to seize the day. 

Ted Simon's first trip around the world on a motorcycle which he wrote a book about called Jupiter's Travels was on a Triumph. He published another book about it called Jupiter's Travels in Camera filled with pictures he took a long his journey. 

Elspeth Beard. Riding and camping. That's what it's all about.
