    Woohoo made it home, just.

    Rode back from Ottawa early this morning. Some of the roads had no other vehicles that I saw. Got to a sign that save massively curvey roads next 17 km. Aww not again.

    Got back to TO hit the Don Valley Parking lot and the clutch started to go funky. Got off, got the bike pulled over and towed into the shop. I'm home. It's nice to be alive.

    Will post some routes later.

    Not sure that your sweet reliable Yamaha would make it all the way either, some of the gas stations were out of fuel on the way home. What's your range?

    As long as I could have made a single fuel stop in the 40-60% of the way range, I'd have been fine.. Over 300km, without the clutch gettin' funky

    maybe he's missing a decimal? 1.7 km's?
    It's the Least I Could Do

    This motorcycle is simply too goddamn fast to ride at speed in any kind of normal road traffic unless you're ready to go straight down the centerline with your nuts on fire and a silent scream in your throat.
