| An
Amazing Journey by Motorcycle to Alaska; Last Ride of the Honda Shadow by Former Outer Banks Resident and Adventurer Tom Serine |
||
 |
||
| It
was during the summer of 2011 that I was thinking of taking the Shadow
on a final big run for 2012. At first, I wanted to take it back to Deadhorse,
Alaska like I did in 2008. The basic premise being I wanted to see if
the bike would make it again, despite having twice the milage on it. But
people that knew about my last Alaska trip were asking why I was going
to the same place. Then I remembered in 2009 on the ferry to Newfoundland,
a guy asked me if I was planning on taking a ride through the Translab.
At the time, I didn’t even know what the Translab was. I discovered
the Translab was short for the Trans-Labrador Highway. It’s a mostly
gravel highway that goes from Blanc Sablon, Quebec; through Labrador,
Nova Scotia; and ends in Baie-Comeau, Quebec. The total distance is over
a 1000 miles. A plan was coming together. I did a quick calculation of
the miles going to Newfoundland, taking the Translab; heading northwest
to Alaska; and coming back to North Carolina; the total milage was approximately
15,000. It would take over 30 days of travel. It was time to ask for a
vacation. Continued |

nearly naked girls in the OBX Bike Rally 2012 Bikini Contest at Vertigo's
Tattoo Motorcycle Rally complained little about the chilly temperatures
as the enthusiastic crowd cheered all 3 contestants through the contest
and showered them with praise. The pretty and almost naked girls took
home gifts and shared the $700 in prize monies. Crystal Cook garnered
first place & $400 for being the rally's favorite girl in a bikini.see

| Mention
the name Cape Hatteras and most people think of stormy weather. I determined
to find out more about the remote island just off the coast of North Carolina.
With a map, a few notes gathered from researching on the internet and
my old 1981 BMW R100 RS motorcycle, I set out to explore the island on
July 11, 2007 in an effort to learn more about the islands history and
culture. Read the complete

High School graduate Tom Serine recently completed a 7,500 ride on his

Carolina to the west coast was planned just so he could experience the

San Francisco; a gnarly stretch of two lane asphalt that hugs the Pacific
coastline. Read

Brief History of Honda Motorcycles |

| Soichiro
Honda began producing motorcycles in Japan about 1946 to satisfy a thirst
for cheap transportation in war devastated Japan. Honda began his effort
by installing military surplus engines in bicycles. As Honda became more
prosperous, he designed his own 50cc engine for the bicycles. The first
motorcycle that featured a completely Honda designed motor and frame was
produced in 1949. It was called the Model D for Dream. The success of
this model was quickly followed by the model J Benly.

first act of preparation was to purchase the book Alaska by Motorcycle
by Dr. Gregory W. Frazier, a well known motorcyclist adventurer who has
motorcycled around the world 5 times. He provided some excellent details
on the road conditions from Canada and Alaska and recommendations on what
to bring, road hazards, wildlife, and roads to travel. I am the proud
owner of a 2002 Honda Shadow 750 which unfortunately was not on the list
of recommended bikes . Who would have guessed? The list of candidates
consisted mostly of dual sports including the Kawasaki KLR 650 and the
BMW GS. Well, I didn’t really want to drop quarter of a mortgage
on a new motorcycle (maybe next time BMW). The KLR 650 looked like the
right bike. It had a reputation to be very tough and dependable, however,
I was concerned about how such an off road bike would ride on the interstate.
So, I decided to stick it out with my trusty 750(fingers crossed once
again).Read
