We've decided about mid-point into the trip, that we'd just flop around the hotel today. Keith is notorious for not charging his iPhone more than 27%. I think it actually a gauge for his human battery. However, his kinder spirit was on a quotable quotes this morning:
Two days ago at the South James Bay point we meet this lad on his Ducati.
He must have been a sporting fellow, because he was hundreds of miles from home on really bald tires at the end of a dirt road. When I say bald, like no tread pattern on his super soft sticky tires.
Yesterday, his wingmate passes us on the James Bay road heading south. We eventually catch him at the gas station at KM381. The Ducati will not be making it home today. Seems the 20KMs back to Chisasbi was treacherous on the old bald tire and ended up shredding it. The buddy was going to fly back home and look to get the bike towed. When his wingmate left, the cost was over $3500 back to Toronto. Too bad he didn't have MedJet Assist, as for an extra $35 they would have arranged shipping of your disabled bike back to a location of your choice.
Along the Nord road Blaster and I pass this fishing net. While it is a nice net, what the heck are we going to do with fishing net 1500 miles from home..on a GS? Apparently, the entire group has different thoughts. This morning I wake up and see this on Keith's bike.
Maybe he can catch us some butterflies with it? But he's not inclined to give it up...
Alrighty, maybe the net is used to capture happiness?
