Quit our jobs, sold our home, gone riding...

NEDA和我在2004年春天举办了摩托车许可证，作为自己的参与。我们认为这是一个整洁的事情。

我们花了一天的旅行，在摩托车遇见时，骑行着集团骑行，追踪日，花了更长的摩托车旅行，骑泥骑自行车，成为摩托车教练，花了更长时间的旅行，然后处理后来的疯子，随后换了“现实生活“ - 房屋的锚点，工作和账单;维护我们在地球上七十年的集体中积累的一切。

所以解决方案似乎对我们逻辑：辞掉了工作，卖掉了我们的家和它的一切，并阐述了THE摩托车旅程没有计划没有路线，在视线中没有结束，没有返回日期。

Here are some pics from our blog:http://www.rideot.com/rtw.


这一切都始于一辆自行车......实际上，这是我们为旅行做准备的最后一件事之一！


This is what's left of our earthly possessions after a few rounds of Keep, Sell, Throw Away, Give Away. Now to get it all on our bikes...!

筹备工作漫长而繁琐，可能是另一个博客条目的内容，我们确实设法终于在两天后离开多伦多，而不是我们计划 - 看到！我们已经坚持了我们的“没有计划”解决方案。

Our early Sunday morning ride out of Ontario was a breath of fresh air, after the stifling, hectic bustle of the previous few weeks. No responsibility but to ride and ride and ride. A few things still lingered on my mind, one motorcycle, one SUV still left to sell, and the turnover of keys for the condo when we returned in 2 1/2 weeks. And the weather was beautiful! So unlike all of our other motorcycle trips.


I've left just enough space for myself between the tank bag and the stuff piled on the rear seat. Hopefully I don't gain any weight on this trip...

'm taking my trusty R1200GS. It does handle like a pig now with all the weight in the back, the front end feels so light and I have to push the bars a lot harder so I don't run wide in turns. Ack!


First day's ride


Picked up some yummy strawberries at Flynn's Corners before hitting the 507

We rode all our favorite back roads out of Ontario and knocked on the door of our very good friends in Ottawa, Kevin and Manon, who generously fed us with ice cream in the garage and let us set up our tent in their back yard. Just in case you are thinking they aren't very good friends at all, I am deathly allergic to their two cats who glared at me with knowing malintent through the screen door of the back porch.


Coming off the R1200ST's shaft drive, Neda has to get used to lubing her chain drive every evening now. Haha!


Cooling off with a little ice cream in the garage


Easing me into camping, backyard-style. Just like a kid.

I'm not a camping-kinda guy. My idea of roughing it means no fluffy white robe hanging on the back of the bathroom door and no mints on the pillow. Neda, on the other hand, is NatureGirl, so she was really looking forward to getting a lot of outdoor-time.


Neda和Manon准备早餐，而我从后门看。

Leaving Kevin and Manon's place, I accidentally left my GPS case lying on the top of one of my saddlebags. The rear is so crowded with all the dry bags, extra fuel tank, toolkit and backpack that it's easy to misplace something back there. By the time I had realized it was missing, it had already been sacrificed to the highway gods.

这听起来像传统的巴尔干（塞尔维亚语）歌曲“AJDE，Jano！”一样浪漫，就像这样：

Come on, Jana, let's dance the kolo.
来吧,Jana,我们出售horses.
我们会卖掉它们，所以我们可以跳舞。
来jana，让我们出售房子。
我们会卖掉它，所以我们可以跳舞。

玩得开心!!!
