When I lived in Calgary (I was a teen) my best friends parents were seriously into their motorcycles - those big Honda Goldwing things. In the summers I went with them on road trips - usually into the mountains, camping along the way for a week and once down into the Badlands and Montana. One of bikes pulled a pop-up tent trailer thing and the amount of stuff you can carry on those bikes is surprising. And day trips into Banff (and up Mt Norquay) were frequent. Riding through the mountains on a motorcycle is simply awesome.

Goldwing??? Bike??? More like an armchair on wheels!!!!!
My husband used to work for the AA as a Roadwatch rider and one of the guys on the team had a Goldwing - its so huge it even has reverse gear!!
