    Re: Rain, rain and even more rain In the morning we got treated to a fantastic multi course breakfast from Claude, the owner. Blueberries with maple syrup, then a scrambled up egg served inside the egg shell and finally french toast topped with yogurt and strawberry drizzle and a side of fruit...

    Re: Rain, rain and even more rain Thanks, we've used them a few times in the past. It reminds me to update our profile though.

    Rain, rain and even more rain We awoke to the sounds of water running through an eavestrough next to our hotel room. I suppose I have only myself to blame for pointing out how much I love rain while camping and hiking, but I said nothing of rain while riding a motorcycle. Lori however agrees...

    Finally leaving Ottawa...maybe We pulled up to the Ottawa-Nepean campground only to discover they were completely full for the night. Apparently there was a pow wow going on. Lori pleaded with the man telling him about our tire sitch and eventually he was able to magically find us a spot. I say...

    Back to the future From Ottawa we turned around and headed back west :(. We picked up our gear from Jeff and Karen in TO and our friends Paul & Allyson offered us the use of their place in Great Valley NY while we waited for our top case to arrive. So that's where we headed. Props to Revzilla...

    On the road...finally Just wanted to catch up with the posts from our blog while we are online. After a whirlwind of activity at home over the last few days, we're finally hitting the road. WhooHoo! I think we're just as excited to finally begin the trip as we are to not have so much to do.We...

    Thanks very much everyone. Wow Macdoc, thanks for the info. We just got in to NS (just outside of Amherst) and have been discussing where to go next. The weather on the Rock doesn't look appealing at the moment so we're thinking of heading south from here instead for a few days and let the rock...

    What exactly is the plan? Travelling with a specific itinerary is helpful if you have one or two weeks for your holidays or have a long list of things to do and places to see in a short amount of time. You might imagine that the longer the trip the more planning there is involved. Although...

    My wife Lori and I have spent the last 13 years or so working in an Ambulance communications (or 911) centre in southern Ontario. We've been paying down the mortgage, the cars, paying our bills, and taking a few weeks of holidays here and there. In the meantime, since getting my motorcycle...

    Why America can't afford public health care

    Your post is bang on imo. I dropped about 25 lbs a couple of years ago getting cutting down on carbs and sticking to more of a primal diet (not 100%). Afterwards I joked about having my pack weight (for hiking) down to zero since that was about what my pack weight was. It was actually an...

    Why America can't afford public health care

    alhope34 didn't offer anyone a prescription so I doubt it. But what you're saying is that only medical professionals are qualified to speak about health?

    Trip from Toronto to Newfoundland

    Avoiding Quebec is easy. Go via Lake Placid, take the Port Kent to Burlington ferry, stick to route 2. Mount Washington, Bangor, if you want you can even head further south and take a couple more ferries at Lubec. With the exception of Mt Washington, we've done this route before and love it...

    Trip from Toronto to Newfoundland

    My first long trip was to Bay of Fundy 2up with my wife. I ended up with a broken arm, stored the bike, rented a car and eventually flew back home. One of the most memorable trips I've ever had. Although more on the side of type 2 fun. Prior to that, we had taken our bike on a test run to Sauble...

    *taps his helmet* Hi everyone...

    Definitely some truth in that. I can't say I agree with the whole judge, jury and executioner at the side of the road concept. On the other hand, people that stay within the confines (or there about) of the law, don't typically have a need to run. It seems that the choice to run is preceded by...

    robbed on a klr....

    Was thinking the same thing. Not to mention the small detail of acquiring the gun in the first place. Forget bringing one with you from home as there's a world of trouble waiting for you at each border crossing. Even if you had mad ninja skillz, gun toting dude on one side of the bike and...
