The 890 is a brilliant bike: it pretty much ticks the box on everything I'd improve about the F800GS.

CAA is running their annual worst road vote. I was thinking we could settle on a Route and vote as a group. What's your worst roads? Route 92, Branch to Colinet was pretty bad the last time I was out that way. Any others?

He had a knack for campfood! Well said Tony.

He was indeed. Thanks Steve

Eric (Sleephead) was the kindest and most genuine of friends. It's not possible to sum him up in a few words, but I do know I can find all his best photos by looking at a map: every place was an adventure, beautiful, and happily explored. He is one of my few friends that was understanding of my...

Hi everyone, If you intend to go to Eric Akse's funeral, please call or txt me a message to -------. Seats are limited and your name will be put on a list guaranteed to get in. No limits on the wake. It would be nice to see you all. Take care.

Well, a few years back myself and a friend travelled across Country Road from Heart's Delight to Carbonear. He was generally miffed and lost his cool with me about having wet socks. I still remember is finger pointing tantrum when I suggested we stop while he wrings them out, "you know, and I...

Rob, Angela and I are so sorry to learn what has happened. Our condolences.

I'd be interested if this said October.

Funny, that's my neighbours. They got paid a fair amount of cash to license that video to various web sites... maybe we should all have cams. It seems like there are a lot of head on accidents in the heavy rain. Worn tires probably factor into this as much as speeding, but is rarely talked about.

That only makes sense when you ride in Corner Brook a lot. Strange.

Same here! I suppose it stops being news by the time the traffic investigation is complete. That's too bad; I believe raising driver awareness on all potential hazards--not just speeding and texting--would be very helpful. On a related note: vehicles crossing over into oncoming traffic, from...

I agree with all of this. Louder is not necessarily safer, and there are better safety measures which the same riders don't seem to have an interest. It is more likely they just plain like it and have no regard for the noise levels they create which disturb others. Case in point, the inline 4's...

I went as far as Marystown, and side tracked into Petit Forte and English Harbour East, return, but not the loop (on that single day). The distances would be fairly similar. Sure, go for it. Apparently lodgings outside of Fortune and Marystown are more affordable, as the others are made busy by...

Single lanes are easy, but people are going to have a hard time figuring out left-of-way and dispensing with typical curious driving habits (like those people that never go first in 4-way stops and you have to wait a while until you give up and go out of turn). But, that's not to say I'm against...

I'm betting you have a time on the new bike, enjoy the trip!

I really enjoyed the pictures. Thanks for posting.

It's a perfectly good tire to go around the Irish Loop clockwise.

Friend of mine left Corner Brook for Gander's ride for sight. Tire was fine when he left, 2" bare cable down the center line over 1/2 the tire. Might have set a few records along the way... Funny how bike tires seem to wear faster at EOL.
