Day 8: Even Riding Solo, You’re Never Alone

Around 6 PM on Friday, I rolled into Hines, Oregon and found a room at a new Best Western. I met a couple from British Columbia on a big Honda touring bike. They had been all over Utah, Nevada, and Oregon, and were heading back to Canada after 10 or so days on the road. We ate at the same cafe that night, the Apple Peddler, and traded stories. Al Brooks is a motorcycle cop in the Delta, B.C. area of Canada, and a motorcycle instructor as well, so he knew his stuff. Al and I talked for awhile about bikes, the roads and dirt roads in the northwest, and about how motorcyclists are never alone out there. Safe travels, Al and Glenda!
