fun run
BCR adventure has started; I will not take it anymore, rain, cold days and only two main roads to ride . So I loaded her up and attached her to a skid.
 Put her on a 45’ trailer ( I like lots of room )   Waited in line for a place on the ship and hoping it will not fall off the trailer when it goes up the ramp.   At last, on the ship, below deck water tight stow. Life is good.   Tooth brash and credit card in hand, full crash gear and no time limit on me. Next stop Tacoma. I am thinking maybe Hwy 101 north to 20, and then off to Glacier National Park. I will stay on Hwy 20 across Washington until I get to Idaho.

Now that's what I call traveling in style!
Word of caution, you may be forum banned if you don't post pics of the adventure!

Hey 'head.
When it gets to Tacoma, let me know if you need anything. My shop is small but pretty well equipped. If nothing else we can have a margarita on my deck overlooking the Tacoma narrows. jonymof@aol.com

Thanks for the invite Jony. The ship will take three days to get to Fife from Anchorage and will off load late. So I will fly out Sunday night, get to Seattle at 0500 then shuttle to Fife. Should be rolling by 0830 if all goes well

Wonder why it is considered OK to transport your BMW on a ship.. but not a trailer..

Hwy 20 ... one the Lower 48's best!
If you bring your passport, sneek across the border at Metaline Falls, WA ... ride Kootenay, then ride CAN 3 East to Pincher Creek ... then duck back into the States above Glacier at Chief Mountain; CAN 6 ... then ride Glacier East to West ... check this ride report have fun and KeepTheShineyStuffUp .
