  • Motorcycle Touring through the Okanagan is beautiful and rewarding.
    Just beware the heat!
    Jess and I rode from Penticton, BC, along Okanagan Lake, through Kelowna and the rest of the Okanagan into the Kootenays as we arrived at our destination for the night in Revelstoke, BC.

    Driven from Calgary to Kelowna twice a year for the last 15 years now, stopped a couple times at 3 Valley Gap for photos but never actually went in to explore, this may as I head to the May Corvette get together in Kelowna in my new 2020 Corvette, I will stop and have a look around. I will leave my bike at home though. Thanks for the vid.

    • @DownieLive
      @DownieLive  4 роки тому +1

      Yes, the Triumph is the only bike I own. I love it because it’s a fun all-round bike (good for city, commuting, fun, Highway etc).
      Good luck in finding a newer bike!

    One of the Canadian Pacific Railway's CEOs was born in Revelstoke: Norris Roy "Buck" Crump, on whose watch (1955-1972) steam operation on CP ended. He once said about senility: "You know, there are three signs that you may be going senile. The first is that you begin to lose your memory...and Goddamned if I can remember the other two!"

      I use a Joby tripod with my big camera (Sony A6300), but the invisible stick comes with the Insta360 One X, and it’s awesome.
      It’s what I used at the end while I was riding the Pipe Mountain Coaster.

Went brand new of course it’s called a midlife crisis they tell me. You see more, feel more, smell more, you name it. Bike travel beats car travel hands down. Be safe.
