Looks like you've had a blast all winter long down in Oz, good for you!. Thinking of going out on Sunday for the season's inaugural ride here. See you soon!

Looks like you're having a blast my friend! Enjoy and keep us posted! I'm curious though, why the choice of a dual purpose bike as opposed to a road bike, or a scooter?

Welcome back to the fold!

This one looks like a case of "beauty is in the eye of the beer holder"... :D

Welcome aboard!

Clean anything oily/greasy with good old dishes detergent (that's Palmolive's claim to fame) :) Works really well.

That dirt road was OK (my early days of motorcycling were on dirt bikes, except the CBR doesn't have knobby tires...). Just have to clean the mud off my bike now. Quite a paradox: a muddied sportbike... That was another fun night, thru the backroads of Milton, Halton Hills, Flamborough...

That was a fun night indeed. Didn't realize there were so many twisties in this general area. And no, big, powerful, colorful lights don't faze me at all. :D

Ha! MacDoc's avatar is misleading, it is his former bike. His current one is pearl white, a slow color... (To MacDoc: don't worry, Shewie and I have this long standing discussion about which color is faster...)

Thanks Shewie... Yup, that was me :D

Got mine for $39 at Riders Choice.

Thanks to Boooya for the planning and leading. Excellent ride, great crew! It was amazing to see the fall colors up there, as there isn't much of this around here yet. For some obscure reason, the pace quickened somewhat as we hit road 117 on our way back :D And those escarpment backroads...

Hey MacDoc, I'm also in. I'll see you at that Shell station around 7:30AM tomorrow morning.

Thanks for the pics! :D

I'm all for breadcrumbing, but the two people in front of us were C-Note and another guy. We were the front of the pack.... ;)

Six of us lost C-Note at about 2:15PM somewhere around Vineland. Slabbed it from there to the Falls, took a break at Timmies and slabbed it back. Nice route, was fun while it lasted :D

I'm in. See you in a bit.

You're SOL, your route has 1099 km :D Interesting route, but 1100 km/20 hours of riding in 2 days?? If you drop the loop in Quebec and make your turnaround point near Shawville or Pembroke, it cuts down to about 900 km and 16 hours, still ambitious but somewhat more manageable. If you're an...

Following your tour with great interest, as it is something I am contemplating doing as well. Did some experimentation in Google Maps and found that using your route thru upper MI is about 3150 km, whereas going around and west of Lake Michigan, thru Chicago and Green Bay, WI, is roughly 150 km...

I have a couple of American colleagues at work (they commute here every week). They mentioned that there is remarkably "less fear" on people's face who are walking on the streets here. They are from Connecticut and they have traveled to most US large cities. I thought that it was amazing that...
