Sounds awesome and never been to either spot. We were in Guyana for our first time and heading to Peru in a few months. Enjoy the heat:)

Where in the Amazon? I’m just getting back:)

@Evoex thanks for organizing! I’m in and looking forward to this.

Rode about 100km yesterday along the glorious 401 in the dark at 6am, while it was raining and in traffic. But at least it was around 9deg and felt great. Then riding home around 4pm it was dry and closer to 0deg, but still the 401 and full of traffic. Felt even better with the daylight though...

I can vouch for this too. I've always felt dumbness when I get back from the states, but it ain't from the tires.

Not sure if the authors have turned this into a book, but it's a great motorcycle adventure story: https://www.ridedot.com/rtw/1.html

Shanekingsley.com … that was a lifetime ago. I fixed the link and thanks!

Whaaat! It’s broken? Sheeeit - I’ll check and fix when I get home from work.

Get a dog - best thing ever.

I’ve only ridden the 1st gen FZ1 ( new version came out in 2006 and shaved 20lbs off the bike). My 1st gen is not really a light or flickable bike, as it’s 509 lbs wet weight in stock form, but that might feel like a perfect weight compared to your current ride. It is a very fun bike to ride...

except maybe @Hardwrkr13

It was an awesome day riding with @Sochi ! I rode around 850km for the day and most of the roads were in really good shape. Highlights for me include Lower Faraday Rd, 515/Letterkenny Rd and Old Barry's Bay Rd, because they all had that perfect mix of vibrant fall colours, amazing pavement...

I’m up every day at 5 for work, so whenever I go riding I get to sleep in!

Sounds good to me @Sochi Maynooth it is and I’ll whip up a route of smooth pavement for you and we’ll hit up that nice lookout too. And I want to be back home by 6:30pm latest. If you are good to meet up around 7am, we’ll meet up close to you like before.

I still have a bit of tread left on my tires, so thinking about heading somewhere for a fall colours ride on Friday (tomorrow). It looks to be beautiful out with 25deg and sun. Small group of experienced riders only, since this will have a fair amount of twisty and hilly roads. Should be around...
