Had the Harbour Front trailer for a few years, towed my 700lbs Yamaha cruiser to South Dakota and to Florida with it. All in all about 11,000km, and never had a problem with it. Purchased it from HF in Buffalo and assembled it at home, followed a really good "How to" thread here on GTAM. But be...

Not sure if this option has been mentioned before, but with CAA Plus can get a tow for up to 250km.

Pssst, don't tell this to Gene, but if you want to find out how far behind is the blog, just click on the link to his blog, which he conveniently provides every time. http://www.ridedot.com/rtw/273.html

Did a weekend trip to Tobermory / Manitoulin Island last summer. Ended up riding all the way, camping in Tobermory and going for a day trip on Manitoulin. The road to Tobermory is boring, save for a short detour around Owen Sound / Wiarton. Overall it was a pleasant experience, with good weather...

Because after 1km, they are still "factory new" :-).

That's why I like #3. It is actually smoke from a huge forest fire, that closed part of Yellowstone National Park in 2014. And the trees show the remnants of the 2013 forest fire.

Need some help to choose the "best":

I don't think you've mentioned anything about the legendary (lack of) speedlimits on the German Autobahns. Did you take advantage of it?

A few things to consider from my perspective: - if you use a rental, make sure you can carry/attach your luggage - again if on a rental and you are used to navigate with GPS, consider how are you gonna have one (power, mounting, BYOD vs renting) - California is a helmet state. Suggest bringing...

Is that the north/east side of the famous/scary bridge ;) ? https://www.google.ca/maps/@63.0168488,7.3470932,3a,53.1y,87.67h,86.74t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s6MIbSYZw8DDruYjJyvR_0Q!2e0!7i13312!8i6656?hl=en

A couple of very good campgrounds in the US: - Lake Placid / Whiteface Mtn KOA - it's a very nice area and a good campground, lots of activities in the area, be it with the family or just a ride - Townsend / Great Smokies KOA - tubing right off the campgrounds, Smokies, Gap, etc

A few random thoughts: - gas in US is on average 25% cheaper, following a route through US to South Dakota, Wyoming and Montana would bring you to some interesting places and roads after only 2,300km; Never been on Trans Canada but I heard it's pretty boring until Calgary (except for the Lake...

Saw a wandering soul, cutting the crisp air with his ride.

For the Smokies, I recommend Townsend KOA. http://www.tripadvisor.ca/Hotel_Review-g55383-d1576671-Reviews-Townsend_Great_Smokies_KOA-Townsend_Tennessee.html One of the best camping experiences I had. Tubing river is flowing through the campground, nice roads in the area, including the Dragon...

I had my HF folding trailer up for sale this fall, complete with plywood, wheel choke, spare tire, spare tire carrier and 10 forged eyebolts. Overall, spent more than $700 on parts, taxes and all, plus the countless hours to run for parts and put it all together. The kit itself is only USD300...

That is my choice of travel (trailer the bike, taking turn at driving if I'm not alone). I research the area where I want to leave my car and select a convenient and well reviewed outdoor storage business, then call that business and reserve a spot. For the 30-50USD is well worth the peace of...

In my opinion it's not really worth it. Get to Denver as fast as possible and spend the extra days in CO and UT.

With minor variations, that was my trip for 2012, awesome experience. It is definitely more convenient to stay at hotels and not carry the extra gear, also camping in July in Utah is a bit hardcore but it sure can save some money. For me, there are no big plans for 2015. I'll be lucky if I can...
