  1. Hi Mike, just the tonic I needed to lift my spirits on a cold, windy Melbourne Sunday in lockdown! Great to see you and Riley again enjoying a Canadian summer on your bikes(even if it is a little too hot). Congratulations to Riley on the arrival of his daughter and relocating to Salmon Arm. In 1995, I stayed overnight in Salmon Arm myself with Kevin (my mate from Cranbrook) and James (a fellow Aussie traveller). So much in this short presentation that really blew me away. The freedom of the highway that only a motorcyclist can really appreciate, the summer breeze that you would have experienced, the bear, the moose, the roadhouse and the burgers you enjoyed, the river and lake and the ferry. Also that poignant moment of you and Riley on the balcony at his new digs, seeing Riley with his daughter and partner. I was so sad to hear about Lytton being destroyed by wildfire. It was great that you shot this video before that happened. We have had our own fire tragedies (Marysville 2009, Cobargo, Mogo, Mallacoota and Sarsfield 2019) so I understand fully what those poor people have gone through (and we are still trying to rebuild those communities). Kootenay Lake is one part of British Columbia that I have seen only from about 10-15000 feet (on a local flight between Vancouver and Cranbrook) but it looks so much better at ground level. You had the best excuse of all to go there and share this with us. Thanks a bunch. By the way, have you checked out our mutual UK friend Dylan's latest trip report? He has finally come out of his shell to do a face to camera presentation on a comparison of travel times between Edinburgh and London by rail and air. I'm sure he would love a thumbs up from you as well (800+ comments so far since it was posted on Friday). Thanks again and I will keep on video travelling with you. Cheers from Michael.
