Smile Great Trip
Just finished a 14 day trip from Louisiana to Nova Scotia and back. Bike ran great, except I developed a slite oil leak from my oil cooler after about the fifth day. No big problem, just kept checking my oil. Now I need to find where its coming from. Nova Scotia was beautaful beyond words and the people of Canada are the nicest people I have ever met. I thought the people in the south were freindly, but people in Canada are maybe even nicer. Just an word about my great trip. 5422 miles in 14 days, loved it. Now got to go figure where the oil is coming from.

obritt, sounds like a great trip. I've thought about going to Nova Scotia for a few years now. 14 days, is that a nice relaxing ride or were you pushing it a lot?

I'm very jealous. Sounds like a great trip. I'd love to go on a long trip like that, especially up to NS. But no time. Show some pics!

Yes, that was pusing it a good bit. From Louisiana it is mostley riding 450 to 500 miles a day.
