From this first pix, I'm in!

Bring it on guys!

Tell us your thoughts, experiences, riding conditions.

Looks like you have two very different rides - how's that working?

Oh, and show lots o pix of road scenery, eh? :lol: bring it on guys!

 
Great pix! More naration on what we're looking at might help me (I need help). ;)
Keep them coming!

Ride safe guys.
We're trying to camp as much as we can and internet access so far hasn't been very good, slow or no access at all? We have stopped in restaurants that offer access but even that hasn't been very good so far? I will try and caption the photo's if I can? Will keep the posts coming!

I will need a valve inspection by the time I reach Belleville Ont. Does anyone recommend a dealer in the area? My buddy Colin's C90 is making rude noises here in Sault Ste Marie so he is having that looked at here today? More later. Mark

 
Aug 9 you are in Killarney BC and Aug 10 you are in SSM....great time :D

(A valve check on the road? I've got 95k km on mine and they were just a little off; I'd wait and do it at home. )

Keep em coming B)

Agree that unless you really abuse that thing, the valve check can likely wait.

Nice pics so far, ride safe fellas!

I hope to have time tomorrow to add some info and pictures! When was the last time you stopped at a m/c shop and they let you in the shop work area, they do an oil and filter then not charge you labour? Colin then had his plugs changed and again no labour? If you're passing by; "Goderich Power Centre" in Ontario, Canada,very nice people to deal with!!!! You gotta love the fraternity!

Great photos. I don't want to go to work, tomorrow now. I want to go on another road trip. Looks as though you guys are having a blast.
Dropped my camera! It broke! I want to replace with Sony TX7? Anyone had previous experience with that particular camera? I will try again to upload picture links? Here is the Spot Walla page link if anyone is interested? Were still looking for a place to camp? or stay near enough to NY city where we can leave the bikes safely for a day or two? Thanks, Mark

OK that didn't work? Can anyone help me with sharing from "Photobucket"? Thanks

 
OK we've turned the corner and are heading across the Bay of Fundy then south? Still no definite plans just zig zag across to southern California? Weather will dictate some of our directions? Earl scraped by us on the west coast of Newfoundland but we had found shelter for the night so all was well! Right now rain plays into how we spend our nights? Can't get wet while riding then spend the night in a tent? I will start calling FJR Assist list pretty soon? Just a little concerned about how that would be received? That's it for now.
