    Apres CFR - Home safe check-in

    Home, and have a clean FJR. Bade my farewell to the New England crew at the bottom of the 507, where we parted ways. Great to see everyone, meet a plethora of new folks, and reminded a bunch of wiser FJRers why they avoid me.

    FJRF009.0: Ground Spider Research

    To reply to this to bramfrank; I had issues returning home from NAFO riding in the rain where the bike just went dead. (i.e pulling back into the lane after passing a tractor trailer in the rain) My bike is at the Yamaha dealers, and they have seen corrosion damage, and are waiting for a...

    Nafo 2010 Home Safe Thread

    Home safe on Tues for supper. 1069 miles for homeward leg. I too don't enjoy riding through Toronto so much so that I'll come around the other side of the lake. Most of the return trip was in the rain, plus add in a few hours riding in rain & thick PA fog. (they could use that to hide just...

    CFR Service?

    I've used Pete's for tires before and the tires were fresh & the best price I could find. Can't comment on their tire changing service, as I had them shipped. Pete's are South & West of Tremblant - Just West of Montreal You can avoid cutting through Montreal by heading North and staying West...

    Gaspe

    CCW, And as someone already mentioned, the most scenic portion (IMHO) is between Rivière-au-Renard & Mount St Pierre. It's also a nice cruise down #299 (Madapedia Valley) Something else to keep in mind for a visit along the river route from Q.C towards the Gaspe is...
