That was cast wheels that were the issue not the bikes.Both the KLR and the V Storm required lots of work and parts after the 5500 km trip.I have addressed the rim issues for when I make the next trip up there hopefully in the fall with a 2022 GSA

This guy did the TT about a week after us and did a well detailed set of videos chronicling his trip.It really shows the conditions that you will encounter at a slower pace.Well worth watching the 14 episodes.

The turnoff is at the intersection in Brisay to the right.Left is the continuation to Caniapiscau.The south road is for Hydro Quebec access to the dykes on the Caniapiscau Resivoir.

We found a few roads that looked like they needed exploring and riding to Some different Hydro Quebec installations looked interesting.Here is a video of the south rd.

I have been up there twice in late June and we had great weather both times.Lows of 7-10c and 14-18 for highs and no rain.I guess we lucked out!

I did a trip last June/July that included both the North Rd and the Trans Tiaga that was about 5300 kms in total.There were 8 riders in total and we had a new 2500 GMC as a support vehicle.I intended to go again in Late June but I have another trip booked in that time frame. My intention is now...

The North Rd was my undoing!There was lots of loose gravel at about the 200 km mark which made it quite difficult for myself.Did a few adjustments and it was a lot better but I fell victim to a hole in the middle of a bunch of stutter bumps at speed.The rim was bent and cracked so I was done...

At lunch in Mont Laurier they required proof of vaccination which we all had on our phones.We also needed this on our Trans Tiaga ride in June.

Turned over 20000 kms on my 19 1250 GS

We had a great ride last weekend.We left on Friday am and worked our way to Renfrew for our overnights.The route was up the 503 to Elephant Lake Road which has about 10kms of dirt to close to the bridge and then it was good to Maynouth where we proceeded to the Granite for lunch in Bancroft.Then...

The only bike that had air cleaner blockage issues was the KLR.The filter was plugged and a bit of cleaning and reoiling solved that.There was no noticeable difference in performance on the Tiger 800.
