Man oh man those are some nice roads out there! I was out there a couple of weeks ago aswell, except I had my car, just wishing and wishing i was on the bike!!! not only the cabot trail, but lots of roads all over nova scotia. I was pretty distracted by all the beautiful scenery, so maybe its a good thing i was protected in the cage

Looks like you had an awesome trip. I did a trip to the Cabot Trail this summer also and wow totally amazing. That bar in Bangor I reconized. We stayed at another hotel up the street past the gas station.

Definately would do it again in a heart beat!

Day 6 Sept 6
Panmure Ils to Bar Harbor ME
709 km
I know nothing about Bat Harbor but for some reason I want to see this town
Long drive ahead and it started raining about an hour after I left
Just after I cross the bridge over to NB the clods cleared and the sun came out
Once i arrive to Bar Harbor i realize why i wanted to see it.
this town is beautiful.
i had fresh fish right on the ocean

The waitress had told me the night before that wile i'm here I have to go to the top of Cadillac Mountain
I did and got some great pics
after that I really needed a coffee so i stopped for breakfast
after that the rain started and never stopped
Once i got to Gorham NH i was dry but the dampness had gotten into my knees and elbows so i called it a day
