Motocaribe had the recent pleasure to host a group of 14 from Canyon Chasers Motorcycle Sport Touring , led by Dave and Kris Dave Palazzolo, the group’s founders and leaders. The Canyon Chasers are based in Salt Lake City and have a strong regional following and top-notch website.
These folks are serious motorcyclists. The group that came to the DR included veteran Motorcycle Safety Foundation instructors, top-ranked amateur racers, motorcycle race instructors and a manager/organizer of Miller Motorsports Park in Toole UT. Without a doubt, these folks were the top riding group we’ve ever had the pleasure to host.
Wanting a tour more challenging that a week, we put together a custom package that included both the NE to Samana and to the SW.
I’m a good rider, but spending 11 days with these folks was like going to a daily pro rider’s school. I learned more in 10 days than most learn about motorcycling in a lifetime! I might mention they had 2 female riders and 4 bikes two-up.
Here are some pics from the tour (BTW, DR1’s Chip was on the tour with us and offered great support):
They arrive at STI (note the reflective riding gear):
Outfitted @ camp Moto, ready to roll:
Salto Jimenoa:
Lunch @ Mi Vista in Jarabacoa. Angel there does one heckuva job:
At the Gran Jimenoa, ready to head to Samana:
Down the hill from Jarabacoa:
