The overall impression I got was that 510 will be paved completely in the next couple of years to support the Muskrat Falls work (both dam and transmission line). And that there was no intention of paving the rest of 389 north of Manic 5. If that bears out, no mass herds of cruisers or sport...

I finished a report on ADV of my ride through your lovely land. A reminder of the warmer days of last summer for those coping with Parked Motorcycle Syndrome: http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1013149 Cheers all and a special thanks again to all who enriched my wanderings. Greg

Looked like a great day and a commensurate video guys. I especially liked skirting the waves toward the end. I can just see myself roosting along that on my 475# Tiger with no problem (NOT!) ;).

Well, after 38 days and 17620 km, I'm finally back home. A fantastic trip. The sights were grand, the adventures adventurous, but what really stands out is how wonderful the people are. All the RTR members I met and the hundred+ others throughout. I set 3 goals at the start - to see a whale, an...

Just make sure he stays with you the whole way. As soon as he left, the heavens opened up on me! ;)

I can't help, but if you give a size, it could be useful

Rode it 2 weeks ago, will be returning on it next week. 389 - Lots of rough pavement from Manic 2 to Manic 5 Gravel from Manic 5 to Relais Gabriel and from Fire Lake to Mont Wright (or vice versa). No problems to me on a Tiger XC. dusty, some construction zones TLH - 60 km of gravel as noted...

That's not quite how I remember the conversation. ;) Great riding with the Laid-back One today. Course being a tour guide around here is pretty easy work. Oh look, another gorgeous spot (5 kms from the last one) :D

I was hoping to at least meet up, but weather and the early arrival of fresh rubber in Gander changed those plans. Hope you guys have a good weekend. I'm heading west tomorrow to mount the new rubber at Prozac's place.

Where in Trinity are you planning on staying? (camping?)

Likewise, very much enjoyed the meeting. PM me with the link to your Dad's story please. Will be heading to Grates Point tomorrow and then either Bonavista or Burin (will be doing both, sequence depends on the weather.

Tube arrived last night, mounted this morning, gear all packed, I'm ready to resume this excellent adventure. The Cartwright Jct Depot is not what I would've considered as a likely resort stop, but it has certainly been a welcome oasis. Great group of guys! Thanks to all.

I was running 32 rear, 28 front. Ran the gravel section from Natasquan to Kegaska in QC at full pressure out and lower pressure back and it tracked better over loose gravel at the lower settings. I'll this next stretch at 40 rear and 28-30 front to start and see how it goes. I misunderstood...

ProZac, Thanks for the info. Pinch is most likely what I'd do getting it mounted. ;) I've sourced a correct sized tube in Lanse au Loup and asked fortech to pick it up and drop it off tomorrow, so I'll go with that option. The tire will do for now, so other than an extra night or two looking at...

Thanks for the support. Update - the closest thing Frenchies in HVGB has is a 130-80/17inch tube. I don't have enough experience with this bike yet to know if that's a viable option. I doubt it, but anyone know otherwise? I have a call into to Obrien's in Lanse au Loup and will check back with...

Picked up a nail today as a souvenir of my visit to Cartwright about 55 km west of there. I'm stuck at the highway maintenance depot at the junction of 510 and the road to Cartwright (Google says it's 530, but I thought it was 516?) in need of an inner tube for my rear tire at a minimum, but...

I should be touring the island during the proposed time frame. Would love to attend. Any firming up of the where and when details?

Hi Folks, I should be headed your way, starting out 8/2 with a 5 week budget. Travelling solo, but more than happy to meet riders along the way and would love to hook up with local guide(s) around the island - I can't get properly screeched on my own. ;) The intentions are to do the TLH...
