Anyone here do this? I have a couple of friends who told me about it and I'm going to see how many places I can get to this summer. Should be fun!

You should! Manitoba has some beautiful areas to visit, but there are very few really nice motorcycle roads. I think the folks who laid out the road system were scared of curves. I miss riding west of Calgary, but I don't miss living there.

I was born in the "French Quarter" of Winnipeg (St. Boniface) and both my parents were from Dauphin. Many relatives from Gilbert Plains, Ochre River, Thompson, and Brandon.

Last time I was back in MB was more than ten years ago; I really liked the Riding Mountain NP area and want to get back there soon.

Very cool! I was born and raised in Dauphin. It's changed a lot since we left in '79. Riding Mountain is one of my favourite places in Canada, especially the townsite at Clear Lake. We spent a lot of summers there when I was growing up. I was up there a few weeks ago for a ride. The road through the park used to be in terrible condition, but they've repaved the entire length of it over the past few years and it's really nice now.
