Peter Jenkins

Well, here is another post. I recently discovered that the author of a couple of my favorite books is still going. I really enjoyed reading two of his first books, A Journey Across America and The Walk West. Even though I am Canadian, I thought they gave a good picture of life in America. I first discovered Mr Jenkins when I read his article in the August 1979 issue of the National Geograhic. I then proceeded to sit down and read the books and enjoyed every minute of it. I think it is a must read

In case you are wondering.....

Yeah, I have been doing some riding lately. Here is a pic I found off the net of the bike. I wish I had an actual pic of the bike with me on it, but I don't know anybody that has a digital camera and I hate how scanned pics look. I ride on a 1983 Yamaha 650 Heritage Special. This is a picture of a 84 model, but it looks the same as the 83 model. I am sure I be told in no uncertain terms what the differences are between the two years are by enthusiates, but hey, they look the same to me. I am surprised there aren't more pictures around
on the net

Hey Everybody.

Hello. I thought I would get back to posting on the blog. Sorry I haven't posted in awhile. It seems like I have been busy lately. The folks are building a house, which I have been helping with, I have been busy riding the bike, trying to get mileage in and working a full time job. I haven't had much time to do anything else
