Hi Everyone, These are the photos I took on my ride from Bandon, OR to Homer, Alaska in July 2006. I rode solo on my new Kawasaki Ninja 650R, camping along the way or grabbing a motel if the weather turned nasty. During the 4 week journey I covered over 7000 miles and had a great time, met new friends and got to see a part of the world I hadn't been to before. I hope you enjoy the pics! LarryLarry...

Hi! Since retiring I've left the big city and now live near Bandon, OR on the Southern Oregon coast. I'm finally getting the chance to travel around, usually with Linda, my other half & best friend in the whole world. We both love to travel but since she doesn't like to ride on the back of bikes I do that part alone whenever the mood strikes me. (With her permission of course...) ... full info

July 26 - The Fraser river canyon. If you fell in there they'd never find you. Probably wouldn't bother to look for you either. So don't fall in there.

July 26- Back in the USA! Just north of Seattle at Camano Island Park, WA This was my last night and last campground. Lots of fishing folks with boats & RV's and little short people with dogs running around everywhere. No other bikers. Maybe they all got beamed up...into the trees...

Too much fun !!
Larry,Larry, You looked like you were having a great time and it is neat that both you bike and your body held up. I even recognize some of those places as they haven't changed in 20 years. But of course it is all paved now. That sand road is really slimey ain't it? At least is was in a car . . . . . . .Where to next?

Nice pictures exciting trip. Having a 650R myself shows I picked the right bike for longevity. Hope to make similar trips myself (maybe not as long as I am young and still have to work).
