2012 has been an interesting year...Leslie got a new job and is now working for BC Transplant as an Organ Donation Coordinator and Organ Donation Specialist.
Cheryl continues to do well in her police career and we got engaged. Wedding will be next August 2013. More info please read below.
Cheryl and I met in 1997 in Bellingham, Washington. We kept in touch over the year via the internet plus flying back and forth. Before we both knew it I moved all the way across the country to a new country no less in march 1998 and been here ever since. I, meaning Leslie grew up in New York on Long Island where her family still remains except my brother.
Went to College in upstate NY and grad school back on Long Island where I got my Masters Degree in Social Work. In 1999 I started working as an Intensive Care Unit Social Worker at St. Paul's Hospital in Vancouver, BC and loved my job after all those years.
Cheryl grew up in the lower mainland of BC and many of her family members are here as well. Beautiful place to grow up and go to school. Throughout Cheryl's teenage years and adulthood she worked for her mother's family business. However, at the ripe old age of 35 she decided to embark upon a career in law enforcement which she has been enjoying for over 5 years. Cheryl has found a passion within the Police force working with kids in schools.
We have been together as partner's for 15 years and after Cheryl graduated Depot (Police Training) we both got motorcycles and our licenses. I grew up on bikes and Cheryl always wanted to learn to ride. Learning was easy for Cheryl and getting back on a bike for me just made sense. Cheryl thinks I am obsessed with bikes but to be honest once she is on the road I can't stop her.
Cheryl loves video games, I love wild life, Cheryl dreams about white sandy tropical beaches, I dream about seeing the polar bears in Hudson Bay, Manitoba.
Opposites attract and we both share a passion for adventure motorcycle touring. We learned this after buying our first 2010 BMW F650GS bikes. We travel well together making sure we are both taking care of ourselves. Cheryl is the brains, mechanic, navigator and packer, I am the organizer/planner.
Cheryl is the quiet one, I am the loud New Yorker. Cheryl loves video games, I love live web cams featuring Bald Eagles, Falcons, osprey's and Owls. In the end it seems to work.
Paradise indeed. I don’t need to tell you how lucky you are to be riding there.
It looks amazing!
but you could do my editing lol
I could, but I don’t own a mac. lol
My last video is an hour and 15. I don’t think anyone but me will see that one.
I love it out there.
Love the no people!
Absolutely beautiful. Nicely done. Good job on the video and music.

Paradise. Me eyes, me eyes! I know you two are doing this on purpose
You’re truly blessed to live in BC. Hmm, how do I get my ass and my Beemer in BC?

Hello girls,
Now in Southern Chile, will cross to Argentina tomorrow! A quick word to tell you that I just did the 30,000km service in Santiago and changed the front spork oil for something harder. (10W? not sure!) it made a big difference and really helps with that nose dive our bikes are famous for.
You seem to be pretty up-to-date on these things so you might even have changed your springs, but just in case that’s my two cents!
Cheers,
Guillaume
