FB and I are having a BLAST!!!!!
Been on the road 2 1/2 weeks now... a little over 5000 miles. Met with the fine folks in Michigan and Minnesota... and did the Canadian side of the Great Lakes!!! What a ride!!!!! DO the Superior Circle Tour if ya ever get a chance....WOW what great roads and views!!!!!!
Stopped today in Sudbury Ontario for a new year tire and oil change...Kinda pricey here in Canada, but if we do decide to head farther north, it will be a good deal.
Meeting with PIBIT and Pam tomorrow!!!!!Can't wait!!!!! then will decide where to go next... the Maritimes are calling HARD... did ya know they have 20+ foot tides in Nova Scotia?http://www.valkyrieforum.com/bbs/Smileys/actions/huh.gif Might have to ride up and sit at the dock and watch it happen....and have some LOBSTER!!!!! maybe get a room within walkin distance...... Might want a toddy to warm me up.
Been COLD up here... but warms up in the day and GOOD riding....
The speed limit in Canada is 90.......
That's kpm... about 55 mph. It's a long way across Ontario like 1500 miles at 55 mph....I did fudge it up to 95kpm, 60 mph or so... and was continually passed like I was standing still. Really don't want to get a ticket out of country.... but the lay of the land is sooooo beautiful.... ya don't want to rush through....Taking our time... smellling the roses....actually hit one stretch of road today where the speed limit was 100kph..... 60 mph.... Felt like we were FLYING!!!!!!!...
No kidding!!!!! if ya get a chance to ride up here with our Northern Friends... I HIGHLY reccomend it!!!!!Great folks... always good conversations with the locals.... Beautiful Country...Good Roods....
Ya just can't beat it!!!!!!!
bring warm clothes... even in August....

Looking forward to more regular traveling in about 3 years. I've about had it with this working thing. :)

Safe winds you two!!!!! :biker::biker::biker:
Just got home - will be playing on the net and checking out stuff about a Nyuk, nyuk trip.
Hey you two! Glad you are having such a good time! My friend Bean're is on his way back here from Nova Scotia. He was delayed because of the Ferry. If you see a long haired guy on a purple chopper, give him a wave!
Hope y'all will still make it down this way.
