I thought I'd share a bit of what is going on out in Atlantic Canada with you. http://rottenxxxronnie.blogspot.com/2019/05/2019-panmure-island-ride.html Just day tripping out to Panmure Island Prince Edward Island for an afternoon's ride. The weather is just beginning to warm up to the...

Advrider.com has a cool thread for sharing deals: Best Amazon / Ebay finds/purchases... And I thought what a super idea for the budget riders like me on the lookout for inexpensive mods and camping gear. I've seen bikerbits.com.au review and use this set time after time, and I'm tired of...

Cheticamp River, Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia I've been looking for a job after graduating from college recently, and put any riding plans on hold until I saw a facebook post announcing that the Canadian Superbike CSBK was at Shubenacadie this coming weekend! It spurred me into thinking that...

For the second time this season I've had Competition Cycle spoon on new tires for me, having walked in with the rims in hand. I can highly recommend them for great price, service and professionalism. Well done, and thanks!

K, I know you got 'em. When you park it, who is there to meet you at the door? Suzi hanging out doing the neighbourhood watch thing. Making our way along the Gaspe. Taking a breather at the VRRA weekend at CTMP.

I got tired of hauling my gear like this: When I bought my 2001 Suzuki Bandit 600 it came with the racks and a pair of E41 side cases, and those went onto my 2004 Kawasaki KLR as well. About to hit Southwood Road On my way to Bar Harbor Maine They didn't work quite as well as I'd have...

I'm out at CTMP aka Mosport this weekend to watch the Vintage Road Racing Association racing. Spectators pay ten dollars per day, and it's a great time watching the old bikes rip around the track. Pictured here is a 1934 Rudge that didn't quite make it all the way during practice session...

What do you bring, a pic of it loaded on your bike. How has it evolved for you? What would you change about your setup given the money or time?

I'm headed out to PEI tomorrow with my dog Suzi for a 12 day camping and riding vacation. It'll be her third trip out to the island, but her first multi-day on the Versys. MacDoc asked for some pictures of the load, so I'll try to oblige later on tonight once I get the kitchen sink...

I have to thank Nightshadow for inspiring this run, as his route had some great roads on it, and I've plagiarised it shamelessy to concoct my own run this past weekend... http://rottenxxxronnie.blogspot.ca/2014/07/2014-pennsylvania-loop.html Consider these a teaser... A Spectacular...

Cape Bear Road lighthouse My sister offered me a job out on Prince Edward Island and I packed up the bike and made the haul out to it's red mud. My happiest moment was offloading the bike from the back of the U-Haul that I'd rented for the move. I'd purchased this bike from a friend in the...

This is my 5th time down to the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia, and the route I plotted for Day 1 was highly entertaining, although it didn't really shine until we'd crossed over into Pennsylvania and hit Wykoff Run as suggesated by Omnivore. I'm on the Bandit and it's handling well on the...

I like to plot my trips using Google Maps set to "Terrain" feature, and once upon a time I would spend a lovely time plotting a nice route only to find that when I went to save it and convert it to a KML file, I'd lose many of the waypoints I created and end up with 3/4 of a route instead of...

My friend posted this on my facebook wall, and as I didn't know the answer myself, I thought I'd pick your brains...

In which a friend and I head down to New York and Pennsylvania over one night and two days during this past long weekend. Google Maps link: http://g.co/maps/emakf The forecast was excellent, but i still packed my rain gear and three sets of gloves, a cold/wet set, a cool weather set, and my...

A friend of mine invited Suzi and I to ride out to a campground where she was going white water rafting with some friend over the weekend, so we rode up on the Saturday to enjoy some early fall colour, and to accompany them for the ride home the following morning. It was Suzi's first go on the...

Willie had purchased a new-to-him 2004 Honda ST1300 and wanted to head south for a three day loop into Pennsylvania and back, so I rolled out my Bandit and prepped it for the trip. We'd start from my place stoopid early on Saturday morning and head south towards Renovo, overnight in Muncy, then...

It's 4 in the morning and I leave in twenty minutes on a three week tour of Newfoundland via the TLH.My bike is loaded so heavy it feels more like a freight train than a motorcycle. :PI've waited a year for this. :D Enroute to meet Tat2 and friend: Fifth Wheel for breakfast and we're ready to go!

As the title states, I'm looking for online resources to find some of these trails for spirited dual sporting. I'd probably turn back if the water crossings went over my wheel hubs. :P Ideally I'd love "Been there, done that, here's a link to my Garmin Tracks", but links to online maps would at...
