PDT = Pacific Daylight Time - which is now off, it's now PST = Pacific Standard Time, and it's not US specifically, it's also western Canada.

PST = GMT minus 8 hours. In other words, quitting time in London is start work time in Vancouver. 0330 PST = 1130 GMT

Vladimir just left my house for points unknown. He is heading somewhere northwest the best I can understand. He pointed to Nova Scotia on the map. If you run into him, don't be worried about anything. I left him in my house for 3 days (while I was at work and running errands)..he is trustworthy and very kind and compassionate. My friends and I are better people for having run into Vladimir. We had a very good time for the last 3 days, exchanging pictures, and telling stories. We also put some good reflective tape on his bike, repacked his gear and had a good cookout on the grill.

I wish him well and I hope to hear from him in the future. If you see him please contact me.

P.s. He is also a very accomplished runner!

Hello,

An update on Vladimir Yarets, the Russian, deaf-mute motorcyclist that got hit by a semi truck in illinois. He was reportedly in Canada trying to get back into the United States, and because his Visa is expired, was not allowed back in. However, a chap that I talked to on the phone said that he was trying to get Vladimir to Mexico via air. Talk about someone making such an impression on people that they get him donated air fare for him and a bike....QUITE A GUY! You really should try to meet Vladimir, he's an amazing spirit.

Gotta run

Just wanted to let you guys know that when i was shopping in my local Harley shop i walked out and saw this wild looking BMW F650 loaded with gear and stickers from all over the world on it. I met Vladimir and he showed me all of his pics and showed me on the maps taped to his side bags where he had been. What an amazing person! After some searching i found his name and it lead me here. I figured you guys would like to know he is well and still traveling. I feel blessed to have met him and spend a few minutes. A remarkable person....
