Day 24 WARM & SUNNY! Stopped in Fredericton for breakfast with Mary Ellen, a friend of ours from the FJRForum, and then raced down the Trans Canada to Halifax and beyond. The choice to go to Peggy's Cove for my easternmost turnaround was perfect. It is a gorgeous little fishing village and...

Day 20 started at 48 and raining and went to 42 and pouring rain for several hours before going up to 52 and rain. Cold and wet, I need to stop more often for soup and to wring out my gloves and liners, Nothing is really waterproof after hours / days of running at 65 mph. I assume I'm being...

Day 15 in Colorado Springs, found the only bike service shop open Mondays to get my oil/ filter change. Left town around 1 PM and suffered I-25 up to Cheyenne reminding me why I hate riding freeways. From Cheyenne took State road 85 all the way to Lusk, WY. The Rawhide motel provide shelter and...

Day 11 dawned clear and 32 degrees in Jackson, a tad chilly. I dawdled over breakfast, in no hurry to get cold on the bike, and got underway around 9 AM. South bound along the western edge of Wyoming in the high desert (about 6500') for 3+ hours until hitting Kemmerer, where I grabbed one of...

Day Seven zero miles! A great Sunday off visiting my brother and family in Pincher Creek, Alberta. Day Eight dawned clear and cool and made me very optimistic for the days ride thru Glacier National Park and Logan Pass. However as I swung onto Going to the Sun road I saw dark clouds in the...

NOTE: Link to my SPOT Tracker https://spotwalla.com/tripViewer.php?id=ade153e3c3449c449&p=50%2F60%2F70 Day four Woke up early this AM to heavy fog and 45 temp. My short journey into Hyder, Alaska did not provide many views, so I stuck with some salmon spawning stream views and rode out to the...

Started my ride on August 25th out of Portland, OR. Have been posting to Facebook but several folks don't use that and have asked that I post here as well. Day one ended in a great little farm house near Hedley, BC after 495 miles, about 150 in mid 90's temps, whew! Loved the Klickitat River...

Put an E52 on my '05 just prior to starting my big ride 3 weeks ago. Have over 8000 miles so far in these 3 weeks and I have no problems with the box at any speeds.

I did, in fact, stop in Amherst. Tired and cold helped me make a prudent decision. Once again, 3rd motel finally had a room, go figure. What a great day! Warm and sunny! Peggy's Cove was the perfect easterly turnaround point for me. What an incredibly pretty place! And the last 10 miles of...

Thanks, Don. I needed the wake up call on that. You are absolutely right! This a great adventure even if it won't stop ******* raining, oh wait, so what... Wish you were here, sorta, actually, its starting to piss me off that Scarlett won't take my calls about meeting me on the road.

$115 and 2 points. Not sure if the points will get to Oregon. Since I travel to Canada regularly, no choice about skipping it. Paid at a bank in Sherbrooke this AM. In Houlton, NE Maine tonight, Hoping to run to Halifax and back to Fredricton tomorrow if the damn weather is decent. Another...

It did not help me talk my way out of a fricken performance award in Dorian, PQ, where a local cop says I was going 70 kph in a 50 kph zone. When I asked where it had changed since I did not see a sign, he said, it was in the batch of signs a couple of blocks back. So I was going 42 mph in a 30...

Don't ride it thru small towns in Quebec, just saying...

Here it is https://bit.ly/1nugeup I'm going to try to get my daughter to copy the ride report and pics from FB over to this site early next week. Almost 2 weeks in so that will give her a chore. In Gunnison, CO tonight watching the Duck / Michigan game. Great time so far. May need some...

Looks like you are having a great ride, Mike. I'm in Moab tonight after spending several hours in Arches National Park, wow, what great sights, Maybe tomorrow night in Montrose, depending on time and I do want to watch some of the Duck - Michigan game which starts at 4;30 Mountain. If you...

About 2500+ miles into my ride with my new Russell vinyl seat and I could not be happier. My butt has not even been an afterthought with this new level of comfort. I'm glad I chose the vinyl since I have already ridden thru a 4 hour and a 2 hour monsoon and I'm not known for giving a lot of...

Ride report and some pics at FB 50-60-70 Big Ride. PM me for SPOT tracker link. Ralph

Most of you are spot on. The positive post connection had started to loosen up and several connectors could be pulled right out. Pretty simple and easy fix, but since it was pouring rain this AM, I had the local Yammie dealer do it. Cost $20 bucks, great deal!. Rained all damn day, cold and...
