Actually, I'm not telling a lie. I too speak from first hand experience! I reported something in this forum. I was informed by CAA they no longer use flat beds for bikes. They now use enclosed trailers and pickup trucks - it's cheaper. That's my first hand experience - not two months ago...
I can't figure out how people with Premium CAA have ever had to "pay up front" in the States. There's a number on the back of the card. Not an American or Canadian number - just a number. Whenever I need assistance since 1999, I have called the number and have been given every assistance...
I forgot to include this little tidbit. I figured if I said that all it cost me was $6.00 for the bridge toll, then it would be clear. TOTAL COVERAGE is TOTAL.
I remember some tripe about paying AAA first in last summer's postings.
Not only did I not have to pay the AAA, but the fellow in...
I am a Premier member of CAA and today it payed.
I was returning from a few days riding in Pennsylvania when about 11:45 am at the 10 mile mark on 400 in New York State - my bike just died and would not start. I was able to park under the Rice road overpass.
So, I went through the motions and...
I will never stay in a large chain unless with the wife. Exceptions - Knight's Inns and red Roof Inns with door side parking. So, it's always MOM and POP motels and the bike is protected by (a) it's weight, (b)a complete cover, (c) Screaming Disk Lock and it's right outside my door...
I had a similar experience on 120 just north of the 555 turnoff. bear was coming up from the river, I was heading north and he stopped in the middle of the road...
I am on a Shadow ACE tourer and stopped about 50 yards away - blew horn, rev'd motor and flashed lights - no way I could turn the...
BTW... If you are taking this route, while arriving at Foymount, enter the town, take a few pictures and note that you are in the highest point in Ontario - this was a radar station (DEW Line) during the cold war and a most busy little town - there remain five or six PMQ housing units - all...
Senior rider Wishes to head South from 3 to 5 days. Willing to share cost of motels
Mountain and hilly roads preferred
Prefer to ride during the week when traffic patterns are minimal and motels more available.
Many people here stay at the bottom of the tail - Robbinsville or Cherokee country. I have always stayed at the north west end in Marysville at the Princess Motel. $65.00 a night - Fridge & Micro - dated from the 50s but clean - pool was always clean as well. it's a hop skip and a jump to the...
The part of Olean I hate is the left turn going east on 417 until the turn off south on 44. One of the most depressing rides past some of the worst housing I've ever seen. FEMA should just burn the place down and give everyone a trailer (mobile home) -... Again!
A nice peaceful ride -little traffic - take any road south to 19th Avenue (Town line 30, or Reesor - also 10th line, or 9th line)
Go west on 19th Avenue until Warden
Go South on Warden.... until you hit traffic - and then wake up - the fun ride is over. Prepare for a stressful ride all the way...
You sound like a practical rider - the most practical bike I can thinkk of to replace a car on wet slippery and slushy roads is the URAL with the side car. Wife and kids can share ride too.
good luck

If you can get a Crappy Tire battery to fit in your box, grab it $39.00 for trouble free rides. I have an odd size "T" battery for the Honda Tourer - they want $150.00 for a new one. I may take the bike in and have a body work guy RESHAPE my "T" battery box to fit the CRAPPY TIRE unit...
Things to consider:
1. This is rainy season and rain in the hills makes the ride miserable
2. This is a very pleasant ride - save it for when you have the time.
3. Best times to ride 129 is early morning and early evening. You'll have the road to yourself - you don't want to be stuck behind...
