Yeah, I'd love to be able to get to the St. John's area, but even with 3 weeks I have to make some hard choices. Gros Morne is a non-negotiable, as is Cabot, Gaspe and PEI. Initially I hadn't thought to do PEI, but when it occurred to me that if I didn't, PEI would remain the only province /...

Here's a rough itinerary - emphasis is on planning up to the ferry ride back to the mainland, because those have to be booked in advance. Everything else is flexible. Day 1: Toronto to Quebec City KOA (781 kms) Day 2: to Baie Comeau (camp at Manic 2) (436 kms) Day 3: to Lab City (582 kms) Day...

Apparently the longest stretch with no fuel is ~410 kms. The 510, which runs from Happy Valley Goose Bay to the ferry at Blanc Sablon, QC, is not paved yet, but it's next on the list. I'll be carrying fuel with me, like I did on the Dempster. 10L MSR Dromedary bag will do the trick nicely, and...

Starting the planning process for a 3 week trip in late July 2017. Going to do the trans-lab, across the water to Newfoundland, L'anse aux Meadows, a couple of days of hiking and camping in Gros Morne National Park, down the west coast to the ferry to Sydney, then the Cabot Trail, then...

I've been to Key West several times - it's one of my favourite places. However, there are a couple of things you should know. 1. It's not cheap. During offseason a hotel room the size of a closet goes for ~250 USD a night, and march break is a busy time, so it'll be way more. A more economical...

I'm kinda with you on this one. I think that putting the bike into the vestibule of a Redverz is silly, but that vestibule is magic. You can set up a couple of chairs in there, do your cooking protected from the elements... I can't tell you how many times I've woken up in the morning to a...

I have a Eureka El Capitaine 3, and I love it. I'm 6'3", and sleep on an air mattress, so I want a tent that's a bit bigger. I love the twin gear lockers, and the fact I can get out of the tent on both sides. I pack the tent and the fly seperate from the poles, so it doesn't seem like it packs...

PM sent.

Maybe when we sticky the roads we can add who recommended them, and whether that person has personally ridden the road, and what year? That way we can age the reco and if we know who made it, understand if the reco aligns to our riding style...dont want to make it too complicated, but some idea...

This is a super-great thread, but can we give some thought to organization? I can see this thread quickly becoming clogged up and unusable...perhaps this is the thread where we can all post our suggestions and comments on roads, and in another that's sticky we can have the final product that...

Ugh. The stock location and setup, and only the stock location and setup, are legal. Any modification of the placement of the plate, and the turn signals, for that matter, are illegal. Will a cop give you a hard time over it? Maybe, maybe not. That squidrun is clearly going to make things...

I rode it last year (or was it the year before last?). It was a huge letdown for me. The best way I have of describing it is that it's like the most boring parts of the Blue Ridge Parkway without the mountains. It's interesting from a historical perspective (it's the route that northern...

4 days from Toronto is not aggressive - it's par for the course and I've done it twice. The only difference is that on my trips I spent a day in Radisson, but I could have gone without that rest day. If you can be on your motorcycle for 12 hours a day for 4 days in a row, and you can manage...

I can't see how this could be anything but 100% the fault of the other vehicle. I've used Markham Outdoor Power as a shop for damaged Hondas in the past, and they've been quite good. I wouldn't waste your time with a body shop though - take it to a bike dealer. They'll have better access to...

I've had very good luck calling Twisted Throttle. They were able to look up Givi part numbers and order just the replacement parts that I needed.

The other thing to take into account is that the asking price on Kijiji is not the final sale price. The asking price HAS to be higher than what you actually are hoping to get, because everyone wants to haggle. I don't have a problem haggling, I do it when I'm on the buying end myself, but if...

I actually really struggled with this, because I'm dead certain that the motel owner of the place I was planning to stay with wouldn't support the bill. I really gave some thought to "who am I punishing". Unfortunately, where I landed was that while I can't vote, they can. What I'm doing is...
