Hello,

I picked up my first bike this past october (2002 R6) and am planning on taking July off and riding out to Vancouver.
The plan so far is to ride thru northern ontario to thunderbay and down thru the states to North Dakota (got family there) for a couple day break, and then head out from there and travel thru the states up into vancouver, couple weeks in Vancouver and then head out and come back home thru canada, maybe even a pit stop in Calgary.
Any one have any specific roads i should ride on the way? or any routes i should take on my trip?
Also if anyone is interested in joining let me know and we can hook up and do a couple rides before a month long trip.

Cheers, Geoff
 
post your dates when you know them. If you pass through Blind River on a weekend, I'll ride with you to the Soo or Wawa.
 
I went out to Van. last summer through the provinces and back to TO through the states. Alot through the states on Hwy 2.
Hwy 2 going West from Priest River, Idaho is a nice ride. At Newport, Washington, head North on 20 following the Pend Oreille River to Tiger, 20W to Kettle Falls, continue through Republic to Tonasket. 97 N to Oroville, cross into BC at Osoyoos.
From Osoyoos Hwy 3 winds towards Princeton, down through Manning Provincial Park and up to Hope. With a few options to head to Van from there. Hwy 3 is a great ride .
Check out the Crusing/Touring section too, here on the site, I'm in the middle of updating my States/East Coast trip and will update my West Coast/States thread when that's done.
If you're going to Calgary on the way home, head to Jasper and go through the Rockies on 93 to Banff!

Thanks for the ideas.
Did you go with some buddies or alone?

Also, does any one have some do's and don'ts for traveling alone (or even with buddies) across canada/states?
