Wing Rider is not new. Some of you older folks might remember me from 30 some odd years ago. Blogs were never heard of back then. I had a website ( BCSledhead.com) dedicated to everything about snowmobiling with stories about my travels all over beautiful British Columbia, Canada.
Well, here I am 30+ years later. I don’t own a snowmobile anymore, but I do yearn to one day get back up onto the Pemberton Ice Cap and tour around for old times sake.
This blog is about my travels on a motorcycle, but also includes some of the exotic places I have been to or are about to visit Many of the pages here are not complete. As I get time during my retirement I will add to them and finally finish some. I hope you enjoy my stories.
