Man what an epic looking trip! Second that you aren't staying in Ontario too long, I would love to meet up as well. I have my enhanced ID and can cross into Canada, just haven't yet..

Any intel on your route road conditions in BC after the November flooding?

I recall you may have posted a helicopter vid a friend of yours did back then?

I'm sure some (gallon) folks might want to know how much 3.8 liters will run & if you'll be running premium.

Had sushi in Thunder Bay (2010) after seeing a colorful billboard after riding from Bemidji Minnesota, then found a stealth camp spot 2 hours farther east around Lake Superior.

I was on the old Kat, first time ever to Ontario. I was worried about tickets in Canada, so I let this car who driving 15-20 mph (not kph) over the limit get 200 yard gap on me, then accelerate around corners out site of the car. Was fun way to pass the time around that huge lake.

My friend Ron (1978GS750E) and I were sightseeing in the beautiful state of Kentucky for the last 3 days. Today we were riding our newest bikes but yesterday we did a couple hundred miles on our old 78 and 79 1000s.

This one is in front of one of my favorite stops. The smoking pig tavern in Falmouth KY.

Good stuff, Larry...Thank you....

We had 3 good days riding in my backyard. Naturally, we found some new roads that are sure to be on the "favorites" list and a couple of "goat trails"! Need to do this more often.

Ron, Larry, Great post and story.
Apparently Larry, you trailered both your bikes to there so could have GS rides and new bike rides.

Hey, I have something of a ride tommorow.
300+ miles to there one way, and then back . . . but with van & trailer . . . to retrieve/rescue Justin Redmanson.

He went there Thursday, but made over 400 mile ride of it to get to Sault Saint Marie.
Then did 1000 mile loop around Lake Huron on Friday.
Then 1000 mile loop around Lake Superior today. (Iron Butt crazy stuff.)
ANd now tire that was kinda close to wear bars is showing cords ....opps.....
He is embarrassed, maybe I should not be telling on him.
I'll not harass him, er, um, not too much anyway.

Morning ride yesterday.
Not much of a story, but like the picture I got with morning sun shining in about same direction I am looking. Then went out for breakfast.

Oh, there is something of a story.
Wasnt anybody walking the channel walkway, and no activity in parking lot, so I backed bike down the inclined walkway (more of a parking lot drain way).
Took a few pictures. ANd then rode back up to the parking lot, and in other corner of parking lot was a guy sitting in state conservation department officer car. Opps.
But I figure from the elvation difference and the dune grass, he probably could not have seen me, he was looking out at the pier anyway, and I didnt seem to get his attention at all.
So I parked bike in parking lot and went for walk out on the pier (cant see this pier in this pic, is behind that tree). On way back the guy still sitting there, and he was quite chatty. He said he was there to do random survey of counting boats going out and in, and count fishermen on pier, and survey the fishermen as to what they were catching. And that he did these surveys for the fisherys department and had zero law enforcment duties.

Larry, Dave, Trev and Norm. Looks like some good riding!!!
Enjoy your Sunday folks!

I'm headed up to Bedford Indiana today to see if the Brown County Rally is still going on. Sure hope I'm not too late. Surely there must be a few stragglers still there.

[Jedz123]

It's an area of the country I wish was closer. Great riding! Enjoy your day!

Got the FJR back together on Father's day and rode for a while with my son. He rode it last weekend and yesterday I got it out for a little while. Sure is nice to have it back on the road after his mishap last year.

No pics of yesterday's ride, but this was Father's day.
