Monstone Transport

Hello everyone. Hope everyone is d**g well and keeping safe. And that life is treating you good and vice versa. If you would not mind sharing this.

I will be leaving the Winnipeg area and heading east around the 26th of May. I have room in my trailer being the coach for two bikes.
I thought I would take the opportunity to help riders who need to get their ride transported east by someone who knows what he is doing. I will go as far as Joliette Quebec through Ottawa. I will NOT go near Montreal.

If this would work for anyone, please drop me a message, email me at [email protected] or phone me at 250-812-3276. Naturally it is a high end enclosed trailer designed to haul bikes like I always have.

Thank you

Be well and take care of yourself. life is short.

“The purpose of life’s journey is not to get to end in a well-preserved body. It is to go at a 100 MPH all days, with your hair and heart on fire, and reach the finish line sliding sideways saying: Holy s**t! What a ride!!!”

Good morning. First, I want to say I hope you and yours are doing well. The riding season is on our doors for most people in Canada, (I hope) never stops here in Victoria.

I also want to thank all who reach me on a daily basis inquiring about transport, those who also have already booked transport into May. I am leaving on the first transport trip of the year in about 2 weeks. The eastbound section is booked already. I have a few spots available coming back west. It looks like I will be busy till the day I am leaving the island to go answer to call of the road and go on this adventure. I am stoked. I will reunite not only with me, but also those whom I have neglected (Especially me) and who have opened their doors to me, to stop by and visit. I WILL take the time to tend to what matters. People in our lives. Till then, Monstone transport is running full on.

Thank you all. If you would not mind sharing this to give a chance to others to have their rides shipped westbound.

Thank you so much for everything. Been blessed to be supported and trusted by so many.

See you on the road

Well! It is that time of year again. Christmas! another year has gone by so horribly fast and this one so much faster for so many reasons.
Of course the main one has been this COVID s**te we all have to deal with. I hope you find yourself safe as this 2020 gong show slowly, takes the exit door with a swift kick in the chronological ass.

Speaking for myself only, it has been a really rough year. Health wise, I had some challenges that are now being sorted out. Thank God! And I mean that. Personally I was hit full on with the biggest hit in the heart I never thought i would endure. Again! Time, His grace and great friends around me; day by day I get stronger.

Business took a dive, but all my friends/customers are safe and are eagerly planning this coming summer. Aren't we all? WhooHoo!

I am not really on Facebook anymore except to check on business and then out. Deactivate.

I, for one struggle with this time of year on a good year as those who are close to me would attest. No need to say how much I will be this year. And I know many, many, if not most of the people out there are struggling now and will struggle with it more as Christmas approaches..

I will find strength in the fact that I have my health and that it could always be worse. I am doing my best to count my blessings, even thought I wake up a lot of mornings teary-eyed and go to bed teary-eyed.

One ride at the time, i will plough through. One sunset ,one sunrise, one prayer a the time, i will plough through. And you will too.

I hope and wish that you find your ride, your sunset, your sunrise, your shoulder(s) to lean on, your source of s**t eating grins and that you make it through, still; ............................ strong and still yourself.

So from me, to you, a simple Merry Christmas and Happy new year.

Be safe, Be good (Not too good)

With love,

Paul Iceman Mondor

Well! As operator of Monstone transport. I have decided to put the scheduled trips on hold. For many reasons. All as important as the next.

1st- My health. Going on a 13,000 kms trip across the country, it is literally impossible to avoid dangerous contact. Either with things that were handled by careless people or people period.

2nd- It looks like the venues i have for support in case of break downs are closed. So being stuck in Northern Ontario or middle of prairies with no way of help and really expensive motorcycles in my trailer is not an option.

3rd- In spring and summer i sleep in my truck Hand made bed in Canopy) all the time except one time eastbound and one night westbound. The motels i use are closed. And truck stops or stations I usually use are down to minimal service, so no showers.

4th- Let's just say that i really do not trust people these days. Hurting each for butt wipe? I am sure that seeing my rig parked at night in some places would trigger some twit's mind to try t do something foolish. Without giving too much details as to what i am packing in my truck, i can only say that without a doubt or a fraction of a second hesitation that it would be a life-ending decision on their part. I GUA-RAN-TEE you that.

So till further notice no transport. There will be other seasons.. We will rise from this if we all use our brains.

Till next time, please; take care of yourself first, then each other.

Good morning riders. I have a question to anyone who would like to answer it. I met a fellow rider a couple rides ago. And as we were talking about motorcycle travels, destinations and costs, turns out that his brother had shipped his bike thru Monstone; he asked the following.

"Paul! How many riders, do you think actually know how much it costs to go on a long trip as they start planning?

I went. Hmmm! I do not know. But based on my experience, i would say very few! It turns out that he tours quite a bit as he has the time. He is retired. But he was saying that no matter where he went, pretty much each touring rider he met, had no real idea of how much it cost to go from, let's say; Victoria to Halifax.

So I am going to ask it to you if you do not mind.
If you could help me with this. I know how much myself. Lord knows I have done it enough, and I know how much; whether you are a sport rider going at Mac 1 all day and sleeping in Tim Horton's or if you are a rider doing no more than 500 kms a day and only does five stars hotels.

So based on who you are and what you like, and how you like to ride. Can you answer this question.

HOW MUCH DO YOU THINK IT COST FROM VANCOUVER TO HALIFAX?

Based on the following.

One way or return?
What do you ride?
How long you need?
What type of hotel you like?
What do you eat?

Even if you have never done it. Or planned to do it. Just a guess from you would help me.

Thank you

Ride safe

Good morning riders.
I hope everyone is managing well through these times that are so hard for so many. I hope you are all safe and healthy.
This situation has shifted and changed the way many riders are planning their trips this summer. With border crossing, whether between us and the US or abroad. Being this unstable or in many cases closed; many are now taking advantage of this to cross or travel the world's most beautiful country.

Ours! Canada!

I know a lot of you and lots of you know me and know I know this country like the back of my hands.
And I NEVER get tired of crossing it coast to coast. NEVER!
Many of you have reached out to me via texts and email this last week and especially the last two, three days asking for transport, advice and help with this awesome road trip that is from Vancouver BC to Cape Spear Newfoundland. I appreciate the fact you understand I am not always quick at answering, but I do.

Thank you for asking and in many cases already allowing me to transport you bikes.

As you know I am a one man gig as I do not trust anyone with my name and reputation. I wish i could accommodate everyone, but I cannot. I apologize for not having any recommendations for someone to transport your rides when i cannot because i am booked during your dates.
I am sure you understand when I say that if I recommend someone, and they damage your bike and/or screw up your trip, vacation etc that without meaning any harm, you would say when telling about the ruined trip,
"Paul recommended me this guy, company or (Fill the blank)"
So I cannot. There is only one Iceman, one OCD with your bike (s) in my care and only one deadly punctual me.

Thank you again and in advance for the awesome season Monstone transport has ahead.

Have a great summer, be safe and enjoy! Life is short and may not be here in five minutes. Live, laugh and enjoy. At the end, when it is all said and done and it will be time to leave this world, it is not the things you bought or accumulated you will remember. It is the people you met along the way. What a better way to build lifetime memories then a motorcycle trip.

See you on the road! And if you see me, please stop and say Hi! I am sure we'd have a lot of stories to exchange.
