    10 mph ticket in NY State - reported back to Ontario

    That stretch of 219 is brutal and the NY State Troopers are out to get anybody they can. Because of this and the fact that New York has reciprocity with Ontario I always tip toe along at the speed limit from the Canada-US border all the way to the Pennsylvania State line. I've never received a...

    Best motel to stay in on Manitoulin Island or nearby?

    I hope you're joking. If you're staying in Gore Bay the Queens Inn is a wonderful place. http://www.thequeensinn.ca/ Gordons Lodge is tied with a dive hotel in Sefrou Morocco for the worst place I've ever stayed.

    California bound on an FJR1300 in April

    Thanks for sharing. I have got to find the time to make a western trip. Unfortunately any more than a week or two is out of the question for me. I love the Kawi Z1 picture from the Barber Museum. To me it's one of the most beautiful bikes ever made.

    The video was shot on a Drift HD Ghost and put together on a MacBook using iMovie. If I can do it anyone can.

    NC bound

    I put together a video highlighting our North Carolina trip. Although we did meet Wobblycat, Rotten Ronnie, and their group in Roanoke as well as Oomis and his buddy at the Two Wheel Inn Robbinsville they didn't make the cut. Actually I foolishly didn't document our encounters. Here it is, a...

    My Dad put tire shine on my tires

    A good burn out is an easy way to take care of the rear tire. Good luck with the front.

    The vinegar based sauce, as opposed to tomato based, is fairly unique to Carolina. Probably why they have some of the best BBQ.

    It was great meeting you. We're already making plans for the same time next year. The PR4s I put on before the trip handled very well. I'll post some pics of how they scrubbed in after about 2000 KMs. I've had several sets of PR3s but I think the 4s inspire even more confidence in the corners...

    This sucks...weather - who is going where?

    Im in West Virginia now. Yesterday was a bit wet heading down the QEW but it stopped raining between Buffalo and Erie PA. The bike was telling me the ambient temperature was between 7 and 10 degrees all the way to Pittsburgh. My heated jacket liner and gloves kept we warm and comfortable. Todays...

    Giddy up!

    Ditto. It was a close call and a nice save but if you have to pull over and sit down after that you're probably wrapped a bit too tight for riding.

    I've done the BRP northbound from Cherokee NC all the way to Front Royal in 2 very long days. It was midweek so there was very little traffic and the pace was quite brisk. You really need 3 days to enjoy the parkway. Also, remember that next weekend is Memorial Day in the US and the BRP is full...

    Is the Devil's Staircase NC 80? If so, I rode it last year on the recommendation of a fellow rider I met from Asheville. Got off the BRP on NC 80 and rode down to Lake Tohoma, turned around and rode it back up. It's a bit scary going down as it's easy to overcook a corner and heading back up to...

    Sounds good. Our last night at Two Wheel is Wednesday. As soon as we arrive on Monday we'll empty the panniers and head to Andrews to pick up beer. Too bad Robbinsville is in a dry county.
