    Saturday August 2 - Headed north for a long, twisty ride

    Well Shane and I headed north and I took him on a few new roads that he had never been on and then he took me over to some that I have never been on. What a amazing ride. We even found a wicked road that was hard packed gravel and sand - so we had to go try it out. Just waiting for SK to post...

    Lake Superior Ride (IBA)

    Nice pics - Weather is always unexpected so expect the worst . I found the American side a very boring ride. The Canadian side was really worth it.

    Ride Report - The Pennsylvania Loop

    The new google won't let u do a lot of things. The old google is still there and I still use it. You can still drag the route to where ever you want and save it and also download the KLM file to change over to GPX. When you go into google maps - there is a ? mark at the bottom right of the...

    Michelin Pilot Road 4's

    I just got a set of 4's and will be on bike for my big trip near the end of August - Are a bit pricey - but will have to see if worth it. They say these tires are for the heavier bikes and loaded down. I have an FJR & this trip will be at least 15,000 k & done over 16 or 17 days. I will update...

    Beginning touring: Niagara Region

    If you are planning on Ellicottville then maybe try doing a weekend tour to Alleghany area and some of the PA area a bit further east and south. To many nice roads in that area and some great scenery down that way.

    Jasper and Banff - must be on the bucket list for touring destinations.

    Some nice pics Mac - Also the 93 just north of Lake Louise to Jasper is a spectacular ride - Fabulous roads - Scenery is unbelievable and the lakes are very blue in color just like your pic. Hope you are heading up that way as you will miss a lot if you don't.

    Lake Superior Ride (IBA)

    Another ride in the bank. Got a bit wet from Parry Sound to Sudbury. We started ride and air was in the low 50's. Not long after we left it dropped big time. Was as low as 36 F for some time. Good thing I decided to take my winter stuff. During the day we happened to see one black bear - one...

    PA ride

    If taking the 666 - it was torn up at the end of last year - so be careful. If they got around to redoing that road it would be fantastic. From Warren cut back onto 59 to 321 up to 346 - Much nicer ride. I see most peeps don't bother with the kettle creek Loop - Leave the 120 up kettle creek...

    South Eastern Ohio

    Diesel That loop is great - just take off the bottom of the 821 and Add in the 530 - It is part of your route - You will thank me. STARSHIP - The 555 is OK - The best part of that road is the bottom part of that road - Where the 550 meets the 555 - go south from that...

Then on day 3 you do twistys for a few hours on the way to wheeling then Hwy home. I prefer more of 4 days to 6 days to really...
