Summer 2006 Motorcycle Trip
This summer I had the opportunity to take a motorcycle trip to the east coast and into eastern Canada. I was accompanied by Officer Dubois and a few of his friends. We rode over 4,000 miles in eight days covering ten states and three Canadian provinces. Below are a few pictures from our trip.
