Moto Photo - #28 of 29

#28: Road to Unemployment

In April 2009 I was hit by the recession, and lost my job. After spending some time in Europe with my family I returned to Alberta and decided to pick up motorcycle riding after eleven years of two wheeled abstinence.

One of my favourite past-times became riding through Kananaskis Country, which was only a half hour ride away from my home back when I lived in Calgary.

The bike of choice on the day the photo was taken, was a Honda Silverwing scooter, which I liked a lot for its long distance capabilities. The long straight roads in Alberta are certainly true cruiser territory.

  2. I miss driving through the foothills of Alberta.

    I always enjoyed driving out to Calgary to see my mom. Well, once I got past the Revelstoke/Golden area it was a nice drive.

    Thanks for jogging my memory.

    I liked the Kananaskis. I also liked Canmore. It's a beautiful highway through beautiful scenery.
