Visiting Motorcycle Friends in Coquitlam

Some wonderful Honda Pacific Coast friends who I made way back in 2010 when I caught up with the last part of the POPCORN Ride.  I think we bumped into each other again at the RAMROD Ride.  One way or the other, we’ve known each other for a number of years due to our shared love of the PC800 and when I posted on the NW Upcoast forum that I was heading to BC for a few days, they graciously offered to let me stay with them in Coquitlam just to the east of Vancouver.

After spending  a great night in a real bed, I headed out again on my trusty PC800 and pointed its nose to the south, and back to the United States of America.

On the Pier at Squamish

After spending a few days riding through the hinterlands of British Columbia, I finally made it back to the salt water at Squamish.  I went down to the old pier to hang out for an hour or two in the warm sun.

At one point, big vessels used to take on cargo here.

People sometimes forget that the Honda Pacific Coast has a sumptuous trunk that can hold a lot of cargo.  It’s all a person really needs for a multi-day trip.

The Mountains West of Whistler

There are a lot of big mountains lurking around on either side of BC Highway 99 west and south of Whistler.

After I rode through Whistler on my motorcycle, the road became much more crowded with tourists and day trippers from Vancouver.
