The Journey

The FALL of 2013... The tumble begins.

After 2 years in St. Thomas Ontario, I came home to an empty house. This 1897 Victorian brick mansion. My wife and I were very unhappy and had decided to move back to BC. Our house was conditionally sold and we were planning on leaving on Oct. 30th.

I went to work on September 19th, my dad`s 79th birthday, and worked all day. I called my wife that afternoon to see what was up for dinner. Should I pick up some chinese food?

Dough. Double Dough!

My wife had packed all her possessions, cherry picked the furniture, emptied the bank account, maxed all the credit cards and disappeared in a brand new car, a Kia Soul. I guess she didn't have one.

She took Brutus,

Our male English Bulldog and left me with two bewildered dogs, Ruby and Willow. I asked them what had happened but they had no answers only sad faces.

Can you say abandoned?

Paradigm shift

Joe's EBikes

No gas. No noise. No chain.

No radiator. No exhaust.

No worries.

Her name is Josie. 72V80ah lithium ion battery. 10KW DC hub motor. Adds up to less thank to 300 lbs. Not liter bike quick but decent linear acceleration. Bike has some pull. Top speed seems to be around 140 km an hour but I don't really have the roads for it. All you hear is the wind as the pace quickens. Quick and light to turn as there's no engine centrifugal forces. Light on the pocketbook. 5.7kw battery costs merely 70 cents to charge and 80 to 120 clicks range depending on terrain and speed or how much of it you desire..

20 inch fat tire bikes

Great for trails and just general bombing around fun. 750 watt bafang hub motor. Top speed 44 km/h. Unassisted range about 60 km. Costs about $0.06 to charge. the Kona is an old hardtail that I put a rear hub motor kit on 2000 w. Top speed 50 km an hour. With schwabble big Apple road tires, smooth and fast.

Baja Characters

With an open mind, you meet some legendary characters in life. A lost soul trying to see the cracked glass half full (of Ketel One Vodka over ice). Fugitive author, journalist, storyteller and hard drinker Jim Dent returned to the USA to face his demons. He was sentenced to 10 years in a Texas State penitentiary for his 9th and 10th DUI, failing to appear, and jumping bail.
