The oil indicator kept coming on and after a days ride I put her on center stand and filled up 4 liters. In my haste I dint check the level. It was already full and I kept topping her off. It eventually got over full and spilled out. Apparently the tiger can store more than 6 liters of engine...

Looking forward to getting my bike back ASAP as I have my M test next week! Hints and tips: Carry a good rain jacket that can go over the riding jacket. Really helps in protecting against rain and wind. I used a Mountain Warehouse raincoat. It was phenomenal. Use the ‘WindFinder.com’ app to...

DAY 6, 23rd May 2023 Port Hope Simpson, NL – Churchill Falls, NL 700 km Early in the morning (in PHS), the bike was covered with a layer of frost. When I turned on the ignition and tried to warm up the motorcycle the ‘check engine’ light came on. After visual inspection nothing looked wrong, so...

DAY 3, 20th May 2023 Sackville, NB – North Sydney, NS to catch the overnight ferry 290 km Left late in the morning; exhausted from previous day’s windy ride. I could not do the Cape Breton loop. Will do next time. Left unchecked on my to-do list. In a way it was good I missed out on the loop...

Thanks.. will add 2/3 days

Hi, I'm planning aa East Coast trip from Toronto in the month of May (starting the long weekend). Looking for any recommendations/advice from people who know the area or have already done this route. Toronto --> Quebec City --> Moncton --> N.Sydney (via Halifax) --> St Barbe --> Port Hope...
