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 the Canada's distant horizons, encountering friendly, generous people, wildlife, bike troubles and inclement weather along the way.
