welcome back to my part three of four-part motorcycle adventure series through the
Cooney's in this episode I had caught in a crazy hailstorm in Creston and then right up to cash low
along the way I stopped off at a motorcycle specific campground and I meet a motorcycle
builder and check out his impressive collection of vintage cafe racers thanks for joining me
McChord this morning no signs of form today Thanks
this is what was on the other side of my pen only in Canada I wanted to do some hiking but I read
that getting to the trailhead required some pretty serious offroading and my bikes definitely not
set up for that so I swapped out two wheels for core and drove up the mountain to the trailhead
I don't know where this crazy Hill for days and it just started dumping food pieces of hail
I'm so so glad I didn't take my bike up here this is not in the forecast tale with dot is a forecast
so just as quickly as the storm came its subsided and you would have never known that just moments
before there had been a storm if it weren't for this blanket of hail covering the ground
back on my motorcycle I backtracked and rode back up the 3a and got the chance to do that
amazing highway one more time I spent the night camping i Lockhart Provincial Park and yet another
storm if you're gonna ride in BC you got to be prepared for any and all weather conditions
I took the ferry back across the couny Lake and this time luckily no sign of storm
I paid a visit to toe Rock it's a campground that caters to motorcyclists the caretaker there Mary
she said to me when I arrived think of it more like you're coming to visit your crazy aunts place
and after spending a bit of time there I thought yeah that sounds about right it's a very eccentric
place where you can spend the night sleeping in an old school bus I mean where else can you do that
next stop Kaslow Kaslow is a little slice of paradise on the couny lake it's a tiny town but
for such a small town it has a really impressive selection of little cafes and restaurants it's
just a really lovely place just north of Kaslow I met a motorcycle builder I'm here checking out
so amazing cafe racer bikes these incredible vintage bikes have been restored here by Lukas
who is starting a company renting these vintage bikes out doing tours around beautiful caslo area
check out the details since it's a Canadian company each of the bikes have a little
Canadian icon on the keychain we have a moose a bear and a little beaver nice touch here we
have Lucas a bike builder and mastermind behind this whole project great work on the bikes they
