1st. UPDATE:

Hello there!

Well, after 7 years of waiting, 5 years of preparations, we're finally on the road!

After running around like crazy and in the excitement of the moment, we made our first mistake right in our driveway...We simply left a huge duffle bag with all our riding gear (helmets, pants, goggles, riding shirt, all but the boots) sitting right on top of one of the bikes... Thank God, it decided to fall in between the 2 bikes. When we saw it we just had to secure it on the trailer and no harm was done... 7-7-7 is already working for us...

We are now on our way to our starting point in British Columbia, Canada, and besides a blown out tire on the trailer, everything is going smoothly. Of course, the tire size being as odd as they get, it took us 5 hours and countless phone calls to finally find the only one in Winnipeg, if not in Canada...and that was a used one...Very sincere Thanks to Clement Collett of West-end tires for his precious help on that.

Maybe we should have spent as much time preparing our vehicules as we did preparing our quads. Seems just the 2500 miles (4000 kms) drive from our home to B.C. is an adventure in itself...

Well got to go, now... Stick around for more...

Next time, it'll be from Montana...

Marc & France.

Sounds Great!!! I hear ya on the trailer tire I had the same thing happen on a Sunday night about 7 pm. Hard to find somewhere open to mount a tire if you can find one. I sounds like an awesome adventure.

Hey there!

Here we are in beautiful Montana. Border crossing was stressful but successful !!

We,re camped right on lake Koocanusa. For now we,re busy putting our stuff back in order after the race against time of the last months.

Quads can be street legal here so we see them all over town.

Daytime Temps are scorching hot (check out my thermometer reading on Quadtrek.net) but nights are nice and cool with dry air.

Only about 50 miles riding all together yet so, besides running errands, we,ve been relaxing quite a bit.

Basically, we are now living our dream life in a dreamlike environment. Sincerely wish everybody could do it at least once in their life.

Back with more later...

Marc & France.
