Yesterday, with fatigue and the heat, I may have dozed for a second and ended up in a ditch near Bangor, Maine. The bike got pretty banged up. I've got a couple of bruises only. ATGATT Trailer took very minor damage. Bike and trailer are in a U-Haul truck and I am on my way home. Not sure if the...

Ok, so 3rd time trying and have not seen all the Burin. Riding back to Goobies and off to Brigus to take a wrong turn. Oh, there's gravel too and I do not have an adventure bike.

How's everyone doing with travel plans? I've booked myself into a rally in Montana the first weekend of August. Oh dear that means a conflict with Sturgis and I'll miss Sturgis. I won't miss it, I'll just get thru the Black Hills before alllllll the real bikers arrive. So, I've got an anchor...

The last time I was down the Burin was for the Ride the Rock get together in 2018? Couldn't see St. Pierre and Miqualon then and couldn't see it this time either.

Hope everyone had a good holiday! Damn, but holidays, weekends and sick days are wasted on the retired. I've had my bout with the flu... knocked me almost off my feet for a week. I'm busy hunched oveer a warm computer reliving last summer and starting to plan for the coming year. Committed to a...

Ok, so who's been following Kinga, onherbike, especially now that she is posting videos of her time here on the island. I know she was here in July (I think) but she's only getting the videos up now. Kinda fun seeing her running our roads. I loved her staying in the municipal park in Harbour...

I'm already deep into video editing but remembered yesterday that I should go looking at some stills. This was Sept. 28th. Most of you will know where it was taken. I wasn't trying for a speed record... just there for the photo op.

I don't know how many of you were aware of this rally. It started in 1970 and some of the founding organizeers were my mentors when I started riding in 1972. It was the kick off for my 106 days on the road. They had their last rally this past summer.

I'm back and will be editing video all winter.

Yesterday was the first day in 107 days where I was not on the bike for at least a short run. Just over 28,000 km this year which is the most since my cross continent run in 2008. The last couple of years I was lucky to get 3,000 on due to travel restriction, work committments and/or waiting for...

So, with putting the itinerary together for Rolling ROCKSTOC, I ended up making a video on the planned tour. Can't get everywhere, but I think this covers the island pretty well.

Leading a gaggle of mainlanders around the province in July and have the west coast and central pretty well sewn up. On the Burin, I've got Harbour Mille- Little Harbour East on an exploring day. On the way off the Burin, is the ride to Petit Forte worth the extra hour and a half? going down...

Just about my last ride for 2021... and being Oct. 21st, that's not too bad. Another run from the Bay of Islands to Woody Point and a stop at the Merchant Warehouse Retro Cafe. Nice place, great food and the last seasonal spot open. It closed at the end of October. The bike hit a major...

I just had this come up in a facebook group. It looks like it is going to happen this August. https://www.horizonsunlimited.com/events/newfoundland-2022?fbclid=IwAR3Sb7s3xhJ3ir5tefF78R2KqmXirlTQR9qXJxtef8j4iTkLftfVWkNP5oc Although I am mostly a paved road warrior, it does look interesting.

I did post something on this before and there are a couple of riders on the forum interested. To recap, I will be leading riders from mostly my Honda ST forum on a 2 week jaunt around the province in July. Will start the morning of Mon. July 18th as they get off the ferry in PaB and end with...

A video of me mostly lying on my back. Could Honda have put this in a more ackward place?

I'm making a list of motorcycle shops in Newfoundland for riders coming to the province this summer. I've gone on all the major brands web pages and gotten their dealer lists for the island (and Labrador) includinge HD and Can AM even though I don't expect any of the latter product in the mix. I...

I'm not a mechanic but I do have tools... dangerous eh? First time dealing with a bike's hydraulics but I'm retired and have more time than money.

I know that's probably like comparing apples and oranges. I realize that La Manche is about an hour out of St. John's but I was wondering who has stayed there and their impressions. Being that close to the city I expect is is overly popular on weekends. All my time on the island I haven't been...

The ride home from Harbour Breton... I really need to get back there in the summer!
