Hello fellow club members.
We have had several days of spectacular weather for this time of year. I hope you were able to get out and ride. I’m just returning from a loop through Taylor’s Falls. Boy, is that a nice ride! Also I’m recently back from a ride through Patagonia with two club members on Royal Enfield Himalayans. The tour group had six bikes that included Daniel Maki and Rod Schmidt. Great traveling companions.
With limited international travel experience, that trip, at least for me, was the ride of a lifetime. The landscape and environment, the roads and the people we met were all very special. A dramatic change from riding in the Midwest. There will be a presentation at the April 9 club meeting about this ride and our experiences.
McKay’s Moral states that “Our lives basically change in three ways: through the people we meet, the places we travel, and the books we read.” This certainly has been true for me, and the Patagonia trip stretched my experience and comfort zone. I really enjoyed Chile and Argentina and their people and cuisine. The people in our group and the tour guide were great motorcyclists and we immediately formed a connection; I do miss them.
Here are some of our trip pictures:
