At the roundtable on this episode of RAW we talk about obstacles or other bizarre things that we have had to get our motorcycles around, across or over, and some outlandish incidents we’ve had on the road. And should you and how do you hide those things that just might get you in trouble at border crossings?

SAM MANICOM:

After forgetting where the totem that is on the cover of his successful book, Tortillas to Totems, was photographed, Sam contacted the Campbell River Museum to see if they could help solve the mystery. The museum replied that they believe the totem is located in Courtenay on Vancouver Island in British Columbia. The Kwakiutl Bear Pole is along the Route of the Totems, which was part of an initiative commissioned by the Department of Highways as part of a 1966 Centennial project. The poles are located along the coastal highway and carvers were required to include a bear in the pole which had to be 16’ tall.
