I gotta read posts more carefully. I'm out, Won't camp at all.

I totally didn't see that in the first post. Blind ol' bastard.

lol  all good!

Will probably get a room while I am on the Ferry.  I have about $700 worth of camping gear that I will be strapping on the back of my FJR.  I am hesitant with leaving my camping gear strapped on my bike.

Also, if I have a crappy weather day I may wimp out and get a room.

Think I would be crazy not to hit the Adirondacks and Quoddy Head State Park may pan out to be a good place to camp on the way back.

I am really hoping that the Portland, ME to Yarmouth, NS Ferry service is re-instated, taking the ferry at night will give me\us an extra days worth of riding.  It is reported that the ferry will leave Portland at 8pm EST and arrive in Yarmouth at 7am AST. 

Right now I think I am shooting for August, just going to have to take a weekend trip between now and then to hold me over!

QEW - Canada side of Niagara Falls right.? I think I am pushing my date back to August, will just have to see what my job has in store for me.

Thinking about jumping on the Deals Gap trip to hold me over til then.

Welcome! Grew up in New Bremen, Oh. Very clean & family oriented area.

The local festivals are always a good time!

People from this area work hard and drink a lot!

SE Ohio rocks! Welcome.

Here's another new guy from Cincinnati. I just got back into riding about 6 years ago. Last year I upgraded from an 09 FZ6 to a 2013 FJF and am hoping to be able to put some miles on her in 2014.

Used to ride when I was in my early 20's until I witnessed a friend highside and go head first into a guard rail. He was lucky, only came out of it with a broken collarbone. Wearing a helmet.

I have owned

84 Honda Interceptor

07 Bajaj Argo

07 Suzuki Burgman

09 Fz6

13 FJR

Have a good one

Did not consider rain. Rode home from Breaks International Park this late fall upper 40s and it rained most of the way back to Cncinnati, not fun!

Earache my dates are definitely open and we enjoy the company.

Sorry I managed to double post.  Can a moderator please delete this?

New guy here.

I am considering taking off for Nova Scotia in May or June and came across an old post on this forum.

http://ohioriders.net/index.php?/topic/39476-nova-scotia-newfoundland-trip/

I am curious if anyone made this trip.  If so, are there any must to see places?

From what I have read the Portland\Yarmouth Ferry is going to resume service in May.  So my plan is take 2 days to get to Portland, Maine, jump the Ferry and arrive in Yarmouth at 7 am.  Then ride a route similar to what was mapped out from the forum post.

I am going to make this a 9 -10 day trip and will camping the entire time.  This will be my longest adventure I have ever made on my FJR, so any pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Keith
