    West coast thoughts...

    Also, the average speed in Yellowstone is about 25-30km/h. It takes forever to get from point A to point B. The whole park is a giant traffic jam, with cagers stopping in the middle of the road and taking pictures of the wild life. Accommodation in Yellowstone is very difficult to find, though...

    West coast thoughts...

    Not sure if the route you proposed is meant as a guideline and details to be finished later, or due to time constrains it has to be followed. If it's the first case, then I suggest the followings (in case you have not visited them already): 1. Between Denver Colorado and Glenwood Springs, while...

    Need help to plan a trip to Tail of the dragon.

    If you are trailering the bike, I would recommend staying in Townsend. I did a similar trip in September 2015. It is warm enough to stay at the campground comfortably (recommend the KOA), and it's a lovely place. It cuts down the travel time from Toronto by about 1-2 hours compared to other...

    WTF Moment

    Just to be the devil's advocate: when it comes to riding a motorcycle in cold temperatures, the exposure to the cold that the rider is experiencing is no different than the exposure experienced while skiing or snowmobiling. Proper equipment takes care of that. And also I am a firm believer that...

Have a 5x8 aluminum trailer fitted to carry two cruisers (approx 750kg when loaded) and a custom hitch installed at Can-Am RV in London ON (they are very knowledgeable towing...

    Las vegas area

    If I were to pick a destination near Vegas, it would be Death Valley. It is a 2 1/2 drive or ride from the City and the scenery is breathtaking. But all the other options, Zion, Valley of the Fire, Grand Canyon, are well worth the visit. Think about extending your visit. If you can't, you might...

    What's the most exotic/distant place you've ever ridden (In Ontario/Quebec)

    Is US an option for you? If not, ignore the rest of my post. I've traveled a bit over there and have to admit, my moto-travel experiences south of the border were far better than those from ON/QC. Ideas for a one-week trip in US: - Adirondacks / Mt. Washington (did not go any further as I only...

    March Break

    +1, that is what I do for my trips. Except that I do not wait until I arrive to my destination to find a place, but rather research on the internet before I go, checking the available reviews and calling the potential place to book a spot. Usually it costs around USD30-USD40, money well worth my...

    Hiking trails or biking?

    If you are considering a longer trip, Adirondacks is a very good hiking destination. There are lots of hiking trails of all difficulty levels, good scenery. We stayed at http://mountainbrooklodge.com/ in Wilmington, a very decent motel with reasonable prices, stellar reviews and a campfire every...

    Desert riding

    In California, a must see would be Death Valley (check out Artist Drive). Sherman Pass was a very interesting ride, it crosses the Sierras not far from Death Valley. If you are going to see Bryce, then the nearby Zion NP should not be missed, if short on time just ride through the park from one...

    camping suggestions for Mt. Washington?

    Mt. Washington KOA (near Carroll) is indeed a good option. Been there in 2008 and went up to Mt Washington for a day trip.

    Stealth camping and bears

    The National Park Rangers are advising hikers in Glacier National Park and other Rocky Mountain parks to be alert for bears and take extra precautions to avoid an encounter. They advise park visitors to wear little bells on their clothes so they make noise when hiking. The bell noise allows...
