Canadian Rockies – day 1

Portland OR to Lopez Island WA

• All meet in Portland. Stay with bens buddy Justin. Slept in his backyard
• Portland is nicer than I remember. Hung with Ryan for the day.
• Wake in morning and take highway to Dr Andrew island to meet Andrew there
• 10 mins on highway outside Portland Adams XR650 shits it’s DG silencer out and almost decapitates me at 70mph
• We pull over and notice his bike is running hot at 280deg oil temp
• Stuff a sock over his k&n air filter to restrict it
• Get back on highway and my clutch cable snaps
• Ride all way 6 hr to the island with no clutch and go through 15 traffic jams near Seattle. That was fun
• Ben looks like a 70s porn star with creeper hair cut
• Quinn’s shit box Guzzi is running the best surprisingly
• I’m shooting 5 rolls of film
• Andrew island is rad. Took ferry to get here. More to come tmrw…
