1983 Suzuki GR650 Tempter. Only got it because it was cheap and not fast in any respect. It wasn't in great shape though, and I'm no mechanic, so 6 months later I decided I should get something new, with a warranty and wasn't going to feel like it was shaking apart. So I got an end-of-year...

Interesting. I've been on Edelweiss tours, and they've been very well run, but the other one here, mbte, seems a lot less expensive. Have you received any other info from them besides the website? I wonder if there is something they're not telling you, like insurance is extra or some little...

Austria, Croatia, Slovenia...

You are eating in the wrong place. 2 weeks ago had a fantastic prime rib the size of a freaking football, about a pound of garlic mashed potatoes, a cup of chowder and a freshly baked entire loaf of bread for $11. Find me that in Canada. I couldn't even eat half of it. Diners in small towns...

Intellicast shows a definite line of storms pushing down from Lake Huron, right for GTA and all of SWO. Could be nasty

Those look like some of the roads I will be on. It looks like it would be nice and quiet (traffic wise) so here's hoping!

1,205 km, 16 hours 24 mins NH-16 S and ME-113 S So this is day 1? What about your other 2 days? I am hoping to go to Killington VT and roads thereabouts, but not 1,205km in one day.:salute:

You're right I would keep going. But I would love to see the border shut down and all those tourist dollars stop if they were to deny access without a fee.

Super 8's are also part of Wyndham Rewards. I usually get at least 1 free night a year from them. I do prefer the Microtel over the S8. Many seem newer and have more current furnishings. But as others have said, I always look up Tripadvisor and GoogleReviews wherever I go, and sometimes you...

Better check the Cherohala news before you go first - it's closed right now because of landslides. http://www.grahamstar.com/articles/2013/01/17/breaking_news/doc50f86f49a2530449359649.txt

Not sure where in North America yet, but I plan to jump the pond and go to Austria, Slovenia and Croatia: http://www.edelweissbike.com/en/allTours/true/cont/eur/adriatic-rollercoaster.html

I notice the Alps is "Tough" and the Castles is "Intermediate". I was on the Best Of Europe last year and it was only "Moderate". I was under the impression that it's probably Moderate for people used to crazy hairpins, careening tourbuses and 200km/h Autobahns. So completely different than...

What a beautiful day! Not warmer than 24 and sun, sun, sun! Rode into the White Mountain National Forest and it was (almost*) totally awesome. Route was the Sawyer Hwy (NH 118), the Kancamagus Hwy (NH 112) ad Bear Notch Rd. Here's the * and only bad part - Sawyer should get his name off of...

Today I toured around the coast of Maine, stopping for the required Lobster and New England clam chowder. Chowder is filling! The restaurant I went to was in a fishing inlet, and there were some lobster boats unloading the catch of the day. Poor little guys, too bad you're so tasty :) Problem...

Ok, Not a lot of trolley car fans out there, I get it! I rode from Geneva, NY to Tilton, NH today - some fairly nice roads through the hills, once I got past Albany. Took NY state route 7/VT route 9 which was very nice past Bennington, VT. Road followed a rocky river across Hogback Mtn. Not...

So I've decided to head here: http://www.trolleymuseum.org/ I figure I've been to museums for bikes, cars, planes, trains, tanks - but here's another form of powered/wheeled transport I haven't been to. Plan on making it there in 2 days crossing NY, VE, NH - actually staying in NH for 3 nights...

I like the videos because it shows how so much of the world is not at all like Canada/USA

I thought this was about spontaneous human combustion.

This is fantastic! Gotta give it up for adapting with any bike you want!
