Phone calls and emails

Thanks for stopping by. I do hope you will invite others. I will endeavor to throw some humor up with each post to keep things interesting.
Today's chuckle:
I believe that margarine was not invented as a substitute for butter but so poor people can have Tupperware too! - Daryl Makk (one of the oldest bits that still hits the stage during my show from time to time)
Prep work:
Getting all the funding and sponsors lined up for this massive project is a huge undertaking in itself. If it were just me getting on my bike and riding things would be simple but I have a video crew to consider. They will need lodging, meals, vehicles and equipment...oh yeah, and wages. I would not want to work with a video crew that was willing to do it for free as I would suspect the quality of work would suffer.

Each day, for the past several months I have been contacting companies, sending emails and making phone calls with very little opportunity to get out and ride and enjoy life. My desk chair has a perfect impression of my butt sitting at the desk for hours on end. Perhaps it will toughen it up for the many miles/kilometers it is about to do from the saddle. Should I go missing it can be used to make a cast for forensics. "We are looking for someone who has a butt shaped like this chair mold."

While it is exciting meeting new contacts it is this part of the journey I detest the most. Hours of sitting in one room, day after day. Typing, phoning, more typing, faxing. NO clutch NO gears NO throttle. To a nomadic person like myself I feel like I am doing my time in an office prison so I may get my parole and ride.

Compared to being on a motorcycle this is a yawn but it is a necessary sacrifice of time that is needed to get things set up.
What does this mean to you out there? Well if you have a service or product (and it is travel or motorcycle related) that you need to inform the planet about  lets talk. I am about to live on the road and will need quality services and items to make sure I reach my destinations.
Recently I secured a sponsor that is going to upgrade my riding skills. I figured a bit more training will help me avoid any trouble and make my ride more enjoyable. Thank you Too Cool Motorcycle School for stepping up to the plate.

I train on my refresher course May 21/10. Stay tuned for some video as I put Suzy thru her paces. If you live in the Calgary area I highly recommend this riding school. I researched quite a few and was impressed with their results.

I apologize for the lack of videos at this time so to amuse yourself I will leave you with this practical joke to play on society. Spend some time in a crowded elevator and face the people. It is amazing how many will not make eye contact. I've been doing this since I was 16 and it always gives me a giggle.

Please subscribe to the show if you have not already.

Meet Suzy B

Hey folks, thanks for stopping by. While we get all the t's crossed and the i's dotted I thought I would introduce my co-star Suzy B. She has been my trusty bike for the past 2 seasons.
A 2008 Suzuki Bandit 1250 SEA model.
We have done a few modifications to bring her up to my standards and needs. There's more to come!! Any companies with bike accessories/products are welcome to approach us to have their brand displayed. If it meets my standards it could be added to Suzy B

Spring!! We are almost in riding season!!

Hi folks
as the snow melts away the riding season is close. My throttle hand is itching to get out and ride but first, some changes to my bike, Suzy B, have to happen.
Stay tuned for a video on the mods being done.
Currently we are finalizing deals with sponsors and investors to make this new and exciting project fly. A REAL reality series done online without any meddling from TV execs that often go by a formula for a show. Not The Planet Tour, it will be a raw, true depiction of living on the road and all the fun (and obstacles) that go with it.
We are still looking for cool, innovative products and services to show case during my travels. If you have a product that needs exposure to a traveling crowd please contact us.
