So sorry man :( Hope you either get it back in perfect condition +$5000 worth of modifications for some reason, or (more likely) that insurance pays out. What do you think for the next one? Another Striple? Is this common in Toronto? I thought bike theft was a much bigger problem in Europe :|

I think you're right. The problem was probably that they were compressed when I sent them to myself to upload here on the laptop. I uploaded photos on Google Photos, and they are better (I think). If anyone's curious, you can take a look here: Saguenay 2020

For sure! Hope the US is open next year, otherwise it's farther to the East Coast I think. Touring bug definitely bit me!

Day 8: Alright guys, made it home! I had planned today to run through the Centennial Lake Road, and then Buckshot to 506, all this stuff being in my backyard of course. But the weather was 7-9 degrees, windy, and non-stop rain. I felt really cold (just my head actually), and I ended up...

Day 7: Rode from Shawinigan to Gatineau today. Went through a few of the same roads I did on the way out, but tried my best to try new ones too. Actually, even the same roads felt new, because they were so crowded on the Saturday I left. Today I had the 347 and Chemin DuPleisis all to myself...

I definitely missed out on some of the fjord experiences. But I've been trying to be super careful because of COVID, so I've avoided everything touristy. I don't even know if the cruises are running, but I dunno, still didn't wanna get into it for this trip. I was honestly just super keen to...

Day 6 Tire held up, so homeward bound we go! Boy oh boy did the weather gods catch up with me today. 12 degrees and raining all freaking day long! It's okay though, I kinda enjoy riding in the rain. My rain gear kept me dry, and I'm so lucky Fortnine had a sale on heated jackets, because that...

Wow that's ambitious! Maybe a bit too much so for me haha. Definitely on the bucket list, combined with a Northern Ontario tour! This time around, I was thinking I'd go closer to Ottawa and then enjoy the Calabogie route on the way home. Only done it once before! Looks like it's going to be...

Eventful Day. Taking a break from the bike by doing a hike instead. Rode over to Sanguenay Fjords National Park and did the "Sentier de la Statue" hike at Bay Eternite. The hike was absolutely brutal! You have to climb a mountain and then climb back down such that you have to climb it again on...

So, my initial plan for Wednesday was to head to Quebec City. I've been thinking about it though, and I think that with COVID, I just won't be able to enjoy the city properly anyway. I'd like to visit it on a different trip. Anyone have any suggestions for places to go on the way back to...

Day 4 I've been so lucky. Today was meant to be raining/thunderstorming, but Zeus decided to give me a break and I just had a couple of drops in the whole day. Definitely missed some rain as I did stumble on wet roads, but that's no biggie! I spent a good deal of time taking in the views today...

&@J_F Thanks for the heads up! I was planning on possibly riding that road tomorrow, but now I'll do it for sure. I thought I would detour off and visit Sainte-Rose-Du-Nord & L'anse de Roche. Do you guys know any other tiny villages worth dropping into on the way?

Day 3 Another awesome day! Cloudy, but warm enough that I could use the summer gloves. This day started by leaving Grand-Mere and heading for "Parc Nationale de la Maurice" Oh. My. God. If you were to shake me awake in the middle of the night and scream in my face that this is the best road...

Day 2: Today was amazing! What a spectacular day for riding. And amazing weather too. Saw a million, billion bikes too. Loads of HD folks (many of whom didn't wave back :cautious:) Yesterday, as I left Kingston, I had a hint of trepidation. I was worried that I was going too early for the Fall...

They have a waterproof cover! I'll have to be vigilant to put the covers on before drops start falling. My paranoia has had me wrap my laptop and journal in their own plastic bags haha.

It definitely does something! It's a little Dart Fly Screen. I'm very sensitive to noise, and I really dislike turbulence that you will inevitably get from bigger screens. This one definitely takes some air off while leaving the helmet in clean air. I think it'll leave the top 1/3-1/2 of the...

Hi everyone! I've been lurking these murky waters for a while now, and I always enjoy ride report threads. So I figured I would make one of my own trip, and maybe get some tips from the veterans while at it. A little about me: 26 y/o guy living in Kingston, ON. Been riding for ~2 years. This...

Thanks so much! @shanekingsley Opinicon is amazing. And it's close enough that I can take the Zero there, plus there are charging stations at the Locks :) I have somewhat limited experience, but I get the impression that if you go farther north (like north of Westport,) you don't have those...

I love it :) It’s very nimble. Everyone talks about torque, but my favourite thing about It is the really really smooth power delivery/throttle response. It slays the super twisty roads...And I’m lucky that there are a bunch of awesome roads in range from Kingston. In the GTA, it would be a city...

Haha, that sounds fun? I have a Zero and a CB650R I guess I like it naked :)
