3, Scenic Summer Ride - New Brunswick <p> Day 3 - Moncton to Fredericton via the Fundy Coastal Drive, "Every Brew Tells a Story!"</p><p>We woke to another beautiful day, the sun was shining and the

We had a pleasant conversation with another rider in the parking lot who had rode 2-up with his wife to NB from Ontario. He told us that he was having brake light issues and was heading to the local Harley Davidson dealer, <a href="https://www.toysforbigboys.ca/" target="_blank">Toys for Big Boys</a> to have it checked out. We were heading there as well, so he followed us to the dealership. After a short visit to the service department and the purchase of a couple of t-shirts, we were on our way.</div><div><br /></div><div>Our plan for the day was to head to the Village of Alma via Route 114, then through to the Town of Sussex and the <a href="https://fundytrailparkway.com/" target="_blank">Funday Trail Parkway</a>. The 80 kilometre ride to Alma was was quite enjoyable and traffic was light, which made the ride even better! Keeping with the theme of our 3-day New Brunswick tour, we made a stop at the Holy Whale Brewing Company in Alama! We have been there on several occasions prior and it's just a cool place to stop! The brewery is located in an old church, hence the name the Holy Whale!</div><div><br /></div>

It was 11:00 am and they did not open to 1:00 pm. Luc walked up to the door, made a quick knock and to our surprise a gentleman answered the door. This is where the story gets good, Luc has the unique ability to charm people and that is exactly what he did! Luc explained, we had ridden 1000+ kilometres around the Province and the Holy Whale was one of the key stopping points on our tour and is there any way that we could get a beer. The gentleman said that he did not work there and he was just visiting his brother (who was the owner/master brewer), he said to give him a few minutes and he would see what he could do.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">The gentleman came back and said that he could not let us in as they were closed and if they let us in, they would have to let others as well and staff wasn't readily available. Next came the key point...he said, "the best I can do is sell you a crowler (large beer in a can), but you can't drink it on the premises." Luc and I looked at each other and weren't sure what to do. The gentleman noticed our unsure response and said, "you can have the beer on the property next door as my brother lives there." We quickly responded, you have a deal!</div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/faceyman/51358099713/in/dateposted-public/" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="2021 Summer Ride"><img alt="2021 Summer Ride" height="333" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51358099713_37039f90dc.jpg" width="500" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Chica Cerveza - Organic Spanish Blonde</td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">We moved to the property next door, the gentleman poured us each a beer from the crowler and then stayed and talked to us for the next 45 minutes. During our conversation, it was discovered that Luc had taught school in the same community that the gentleman and his brother grew up and in fact, Luc taught at the elementary school that the owner/master brewer from the Holy Whale attended. The owner/master brewer joined us for a minute and it was fun to watch Luc connect the dots to the two guys! Although, Luc did not teach them, there was a connection. What a small world and stories like this add to the travel experience! We finished our beer, which was excellent, said our thanks and good-byes.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">We proceeded through <a href="https://www.pc.gc.ca/en/pn-np/nb/fundy" target="_blank">Fundy National Park</a> to Sussex and then to the Fundy Trail Parkway via the Eastern Park Entrance. Again, the traffic was almost non-existent which made the ride much more enjoyable. The Fundy Trail Parkway is so scenic and the views never get old! If you haven't had the chance to ride through the Parkway, you should plan on doing it.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/faceyman/51358886425/in/dateposted-public/" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="2021 Summer Ride"><img alt="2021 Summer Ride" height="333" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51358886425_c44ef4b723.jpg" width="500" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Fundy Trail Parkway</td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/faceyman/51358099453/in/dateposted-public/" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="2021 Summer Ride"><img alt="2021 Summer Ride" height="333" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51358099453_d0acf31a9e.jpg" width="500" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Fundy Trail Parkway</td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: center;"><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script>

By this point, you probably guessed it, another brewery...and you are correct! We stopped at the <a href="https://moosehead.ca/smallbatch" target="_blank">Moosehead Small Batch Brewery</a> on Main St. in Saint John.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/faceyman/51357135957/in/dateposted-public/" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="Untitled"><img alt="Untitled" height="500" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51357135957_ea4c5f364e.jpg" width="375" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Moosehead Small Batch Brewery - Saint John, NB</td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">As most New Brunswickers are aware, Moosehead is one the oldest, privately owned domestic beer manufacturers in Canada. What is unique about the small batch brewery is they have new beers that they brew that are only available in the tap room. For those loyal to their domestic beers, you can get that too! I decided to try one of their craft beers, a German Lager and being an IPA fan, Luc went with the Small Batch East Coast IPA.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/faceyman/51358109453/in/dateposted-public/" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="Untitled"><img alt="Untitled" height="500" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51358109453_8ac5fd806a.jpg" width="375" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Moosehead German Lager</td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">After our beer, we made the 100 kilometre ride from Saint John to Fredericton via NB Route 7. The 3-day ride took us approximately 1500 kilometres and the views along the River Valley Scenic Trail, the Appalachian Range Route, the Acadian Coastal Drive and the Fundy Coastal Drive were fantastic. Sometimes we forget how beautiful our home Province is! Also, travelling with my good friend Luc is always fun. Some day, we should figure out how many kilometres we have travelled together...it would be in the 10's of thousands for sure!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I hope you enjoyed our experience and until next time, ride safe!</div><a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/faceyman/51358606069/in/dateposted-public/" title="2021 Summer Ride"><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script></a>Faceymanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10999797490263859500noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4883753230434998724.post-36805055222252607492021-08-08T10:09:00.001-03:002021-08-08T10:29:02.605-03:00Day 2, 2021 Scenic Summer Ride - New Brunswick<p> Day 2 - Bathurst to Moncton via The Acadian Coastal Drive</p><p>We woke to a beautiful day, had breakfast and prepped for our ride along the Acadian Coastal Drive. We did most of this ride before, but it was in the opposite direction and on two different occasions. The morning air was crisp and the sun was shining. We followed Bridge St. out of Bathurst to Salmon Beach and then Route 11 along the coast into the town of Caraquet. The ride did not disappoint. Once in Caraquet, we stopped for a break and took a few minutes to enjoy the view.</p>

We exited Route 11 and enjoyed a ride down the strip in Tracadie-Sheila. This was Luc's first visit and he was thoroughly impressed with the view and the town in general.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">We followed Route 11, which is adjacent to Miramichi Bay into Miramichi City (Chatham). We decided that we would stop at <a href="https://www.odonaghues.com/" target="_blank">O'Donaghue's Irish Pub</a> for lunch as we know the food and service are good. We had a bit of excitement here, when I stopped to park, my right foot slipped on some loose gravel and I had to gently lay my Street Glide Special on the ground. The fully loaded 900 pound Harley won the wrestling match as I couldn't hold it up! Fortunately, the only damage was a scratch on my crash bar (it did it's job) and a much bruised ego! </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">At the pub, Luc and I both opted for fish & chips. We also tried some locally brewed craft beer. I opted for the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/timbershipbrewing/" target="_blank">Timber Ship</a> - Irish Red (see below) and Luc, the <a href="https://newmaritimebeer.com/" target="_blank">New Maritime</a> - IPA and both beers were excellent! 5 star rating for O'Donaghue's Irish Pub!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy-rgsA6Ix2QtwfdEayDEUmzChaDxaECI9M90KzekPODKCucEjWg2HG1rEuNSHvigHV5pcv-J2r1-M5DA90Wic6MlNLr-ZgPmSH2q1dqjHlMX3ipTGwIYKfZLgRXrnOHBbMZZ9XOfxMRgH/s2048/o%2527don.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="263" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy-rgsA6Ix2QtwfdEayDEUmzChaDxaECI9M90KzekPODKCucEjWg2HG1rEuNSHvigHV5pcv-J2r1-M5DA90Wic6MlNLr-ZgPmSH2q1dqjHlMX3ipTGwIYKfZLgRXrnOHBbMZZ9XOfxMRgH/w351-h263/o%2527don.jpeg" width="351" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Photo Credit - O'Donaghue's Irish Pub</td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/faceyman/51357882986/in/dateposted-public/" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="Untitled"><img alt="Untitled" height="500" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51357882986_33bf11699b.jpg" width="375" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Timber Ship - Irish Red</td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">After quick tour of Chatham, we jumped back on the Acadian Coastal Drive via Route 117 through the small villages of Bay du Vin, Baie-Saint-Anne and Escuminac.

The Summer of 2019 was a washout for me as I was recovering from a rather serious cycling accident and last Summer, a multi-day motorcycle trip was hampered by lockdowns and the Covid-19 pandemic.</p><p>Recently, Luc and I met to discuss a 3 day ride and decided that we would stay in our home province of New Brunswick and explore the beauty of our own region (and check out local craft breweries). The plan was to ride a 1500 kilometre loop around New Brunswick. This loop included portions of the <a href="https://tourismnewbrunswick.ca/river-valley-scenic-drive" target="_blank">River Valley Scenic Drive</a>, the <a href="https://tourismnewbrunswick.ca/appalachian-range-route" target="_blank">Appalachian Range Route</a>, the <a href="https://tourismnewbrunswick.ca/acadian-coastal-drive" target="_blank">Acadian Coastal Drive</a> and the <a href="https://tourismnewbrunswick.ca/fundy-coastal-drive" target="_blank">Fundy Coastal Drive</a>. </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJe7goNdb3whYEy6RCuAEdrFIEvY2NKHwcZbjDJ2LhtREa71pkK3gC-HeST0x6Sy9TVK-sBcu2iYkNHOzf9Do3EeZ-ziM4KwqrSPPlAdTiGWR6EfF2slLJ2F6KcBc-c-5LYvsKA6SQB9V_/s1117/Scenic+Drive+Map+EN+R2.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1117" data-original-width="900" height="375" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJe7goNdb3whYEy6RCuAEdrFIEvY2NKHwcZbjDJ2LhtREa71pkK3gC-HeST0x6Sy9TVK-sBcu2iYkNHOzf9Do3EeZ-ziM4KwqrSPPlAdTiGWR6EfF2slLJ2F6KcBc-c-5LYvsKA6SQB9V_/w302-h375/Scenic+Drive+Map+EN+R2.jpg" width="302" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Photo - Courtesy of Tourism New Brunswick</td></tr></tbody></table><p>Our plan was to wait for a 3 day window of good weather before hitting the road.

Once the weather cleared, we hit the road following NB Routes 105 and 102. We stopped for a quick breakfast at the Acorn Restaurant in Prince William and then proceeded on the 102, TCH 2 and the 165 to Woodstock. The ride along the St. John - Wolastoq (meaning beautiful river) River never gets old. Once in Woodstock, we veered onto Rte 103 and enjoyed a country ride to Hartland. When you arrive in Hartland, you have to take the time to ride across the World's Longest Covered Bridge, it's well worth it and that is exactly what we did!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/faceyman/51358887150/in/dateposted-public/" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="2021 Summer Ride"><img alt="2021 Summer Ride" height="333" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51358887150_6a6f6ed7a1.jpg" width="500" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Hartland Covered Bridge</td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">After a quick stop for a picture, it was back on the road to Florenceville-Bristol and Rte 105 to Perth-Andover. This road is a hidden gem and if you haven't had the chance to ride this route, I suggest that you do as I highly recommend it. This was the end of the River Valley Scenic Drive of us and the start of the Appalachian Range Route via NB Route 109. This is another great ride that follows the Tobique River into Plaster Rock. Once in Plaster Rock, we decided to take the 108 into Grand Falls - Grand Sault for a quick break at the Grand Falls Gorge.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/faceyman/51358100188/in/dateposted-public/" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="2021 Summer Ride"><img alt="2021 Summer Ride" height="333" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51358100188_788406a1c1.jpg" width="500" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The Gorge at Grand Falls</td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">After a quick break, fuel and coffee we reconnected with the Appalachian Range Route via TCH 2 and NB Route 17. NB Route 17 was a real treat as I have not been on this road before. Road conditions were excellent with virtually no traffic. There is not much to see other than woods for the first part of Rte 17 and after you pass through the communities of Saint-Quentin and Kedgwick, you again return to a ride through the woods. The beauty of this ride is the descent into the Campbellton region, the views are spectacular! In hindsight, I wish I would have stopped for a pic, but I was just enjoying the ride and the scenery.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">We stopped in Campbellton for a quick break and then made our way to Rte 134. This route follows the coast of the Bay of Chaleur and is also very scenic. There were a few detours along the way due to road work, but we were on the coast for most of the ride. This is also where the Appalachian Range Route meets the Acadian Coastal Drive. The ride took us through many small communities, including Belledune, Petit Rocher, Nigadoo, Beresford and then our final destination, the City of Bathurst! </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">We checked into the Best Western in downtown Bathurst and the receptionist told us that we could park our motorcycles under the canopy at the hotel entrance...we have been fortunate in our travels throughout Canada and the USA to stay at many motorcycle friendly hotels!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/faceyman/51358109528/in/dateposted-public/" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="Untitled"><img alt="Untitled" height="500" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51358109528_4bd7ab2c03.jpg" width="375" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Best Western Hotel - Bathurst, NB<br /><br /></td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: left;">We unloaded quickly as we wanted to check out a craft brewery called the <a href="https://www.13barrels.ca/en/" target="_blank">13 Barrels Brewing Company</a>.

I have to say that I am intrigued by the engine and the 120+ horsepower with 94 ft-lbs of torque. I look forward to having the opportunity to see one and perhaps even take a test ride! Below is Harley Davidson's reveal video, from Evolution to Revolution. Ride safe!</p>

First, I sold my beloved 2009 Buell 1125R and second, I just traded my 2013 Harley Davidson Street Glide for a 2018 Harley Davidson Street Glide Special. I was sad to see both bikes go, but I am thrilled with the new ride! I love the blackened out look and the accessories that I added. The accessories include:<br />
<ul>
<li>Screaming Eagle High Flow Air Filter</li>
<li>Screaming Eagle Torque Camshaft</li>
<li>Screaming Eagle Fuel Pack</li>
<li>Rinehart Racing 4" Racing Pipes</li>
</ul>

I suspect that I will have a few more projects as I wait for Winter to pass. Looking forward to the 2018 MC season! Stay safe!</div>

<br />
I have not written a blog post in some time. In fact, my last blog post was about my summer ride to Virginia, North Carolina and Tennessee. My professional life and my personal life have been very busy! No need to speak about my professional life, but in my personal life my time has been taken up by the construction of a new garage/shop.<br />

I have been toying with the idea of building a garage for several years and this summer I finally made the decision to move forward with the construction of a 24"x 24" garage. The pics below show the progress from start to finish.<br />

I finished the interior with tongue and groove spruce boards and I am very pleased with the look. There are three coats of polyurethane on the ceiling and walls. I installed lots of electrical 120V (every 6 feet around the perimeter) and a couple of 220V receptacles.</div>

For heat, I went with a <a href="http://www.quadrafire.com/Products/Classic-Bay-1200-Pellet-Stove.aspx" target="_blank">Quadrafire Classic Bay</a> Pellet Stove. It provides all kind of heat and so far, I am very happy with the performance.</div>

My friend Luc set up a GoPro Camera on the crash bar of his 2016 Harley Davidson Street Glide and recorded all 318 curves during the 11 mile ride! You may want to sit down when you are watching this!

The word that I keep using to describe this year's ride is "EPIC"! The reason I use the word "EPIC" is due to two things, the distance and the amazing roads that my friend Luc and I had the opportunity to ride!<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Luc, my travelling partner was excited about his first long ride on his new 2016 Harley Davidson Street Glide. We had spoke a couple of times about destinations and we decided on riding to Virginia to the Skyline Parkway and the Blue Ride Parkway. Our plan was to log heavy miles as it would take us a few days to get to VA and that is exactly what we did!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Day 1 - Fredericton, NB to Nashua, NH (704 KM)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Our first day on the road consisted of riding the I-95 through Maine and into New Hampshire. Our good friend Jeff, lives just outside Nashua and we decided that we would visit with him and his wife Steph. We had the opportunity to go out for a great dinner and an evening of friendship! It was really good to see Jeff and Steph as it has been almost a year since we last had the chance to get together. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Day 2 - Nashua, NH to Wilkes- Barre, PA (528 KM)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We took our time getting ready on day 2 and hit the road. We really had no set destination for day 2 except to get closer to VA. At 7:00 am, it was already 28C, so we knew that it was going to be a warm day.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Like day 1, the day consisted of highway and Interstate riding. We did have a funny incident happen in Worcester, MA. We stopped for a minute in the parking lot at a local University/Pharmacy School to check our maps as we took a wrong exit. While stopped, a security guard came running out of the building to tell Luc that his bike was burning! In reality, the case for his glasses had fallen off the seat of his Street Glide and landed on the hot exhaust..that was the end of the glasses case! The security guard was kind enough to give us directions to the I-84.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/faceyman/28430344772/in/dateposted-public/" nbsp="" title="Burnt Glases"><img alt="Burnt Glases" height="333" src="https://c5.staticflickr.com/9/8792/28430344772_71408a21ea.jpg" width="500" /></a><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We made a second stop in Danbury, CT. Luc was experiencing a loud knocking sound at idle and was concerned about it and wanted to have it looked at. Fortunately for us, Harley Davidson of Danbury is right off the I-84. We stopped there and the Service Manager immediately took a look at Luc's Street Glide and took it into the shop. We didn't mind the stop as it was extremely hot and the air conditioning at the dealership was a welcome break! I have to mention the professionalism of the service staff at Harley Davidson of Danbury; the service they provided was outstanding. The diagnosis, the knock was not mechanical in nature and that it was coming from a motor mount. The mount was re-torqued and after an hour or so, we were on our way! Oh ya, I also ended up purchasing a pair of waterproof riding gloves that I would need later in the trip!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
From Danbury to Wilkes-Barre, it was an uneventful ride. Again, Interstate riding to get from point A to point B. We decided to stop as it was approaching 6:00 pm and the heat was getting to us! We stayed at the Holiday Inn and after a Pizza dinner, we were done for the day!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Day 3 - Wilkes-Barre, PA to Staunton, VA via the Skyline Parkway (589 KM)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We were very excited for the start of day 3 as we knew it would take us to the Skyline Parkway in Virginia. We hit the road early and made the 386 KM ride to Front Royal, VA, the North entrance to Shenandoah Park and the start of the Skyline Parkway. We stopped at an information center to find out more about the Skyline and to book a hotel for the eve.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/faceyman/28252505150/in/dateposted-public/" nbsp="" title="Skyline Parkway, VA"><img alt="Skyline Parkway, VA" height="333" src="https://c7.staticflickr.com/9/8792/28252505150_e36585c61f.jpg" width="500" /></a><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The staff at the information center was very helpful and informed us that it would take 4.5 hours to ride through the Skyline Parkway as the speed limit is 35 mph/ 55 kmh.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
The ride through the Skyline was spectacular! The roads are amazing with lots of twisties and amazing views!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
The weather was beautiful at the start of the ride, but that changed very quickly! Out of nowhere, dark black clouds started to roll in and we had to prep for rain.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
For about 40 minutes, we rode through heavy rain and a bit of hail and as quick as the rain came in, it left! With the rain moving out, we were left with even more spectacular views of the mountains! </div>

Again, the ride was amazing! You do have to watch for wildlife though, we saw a bear cub, multiple deer and lots of wild turkeys! Luc summed it up nicely with the flash of the #1 sign near the end of the Parkway!</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
After a great day of riding, we settled in at the Best Western in Staunton, VA. After unloading our bikes, we went to the Texas Steakhouse & Salon for dinner! Great food and a good way to end an excellent day of motorcycle riding!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Day 4 - Staunton, VA to Boone, NC via the Blue Ridge Parkway (508 KM)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Another early morning start and we were ready for the Blue Ridge Parkway. The Blue Ridge Parkway is much longer than the Skyline, spanning a distance of 755 KM. The speed limit through the Blue Ridge is higher than the Skyline at 45 mph/ 70 kmh. Our plan was to take our time and to ride half of the Blue Ridge Parkway.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
It was getting close to the end of our ride for the day and we had evening reservations in Abingdon, VA. We stopped for one final look out over the mountains and while reading the sign, there was a reference to North Carolina. I asked Luc to read the sign and I said, I think we are in North Carolina and that we overshot our destination in Virginia...this happens when you are having too much fun!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We took out the maps and about that time, another Harley rider and his wife pulled into the same lookout spot. We struck up a conversation and asked if we were in North Carolina and indeed we were! We overshot our destination by about 100 KM. Rather than backtrack, we asked if there was a good place to stay nearby. The Harley rider - Doug, was a retired police officer and he recommended that we ride to Boone, North Carolina and stay there for the eve! I pulled out my phone to cancel the reservation in Abingdon, VA only to find out that I did not have any cell reception. Luc tried and the same thing...darn Canadian cell phone packages! Doug was kind enough to let us use his cell phone to cancel the reservation, once again proving that bikers are good people! Doug also recommended that we stop to eat at the Lost Province Brewing Company and that is exactly what we did. We bid our farewell to Doug and his wife and made the 50 KM ride to Boone, NC. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
With the Blue Ridge Mountains as a backdrop, Boone, NC is a beautiful town! Once we checked in to a hotel, we made our way to the Lost Province Brewing Company. At the brewery, we opted to try local food and had a feed of deep fried catfish. Like I said previously, another great day of riding!</div>

We opted to make a side trip to the top of Mount Mitchell as it was along the Parkway. Mount Mitchell is the highest peak east of the Mississippi River at 6684 ft. The views were not great due to cloud cover, but it was worth the stop.</div>

The last leg of the Blue Ridge was as good as the first leg with excellent roads and great views. We finished the Parkway close to Cherokee, NC. A quick stop at the information center and on recommendation from an employee, we made our way to Bryson City, NC. Bryson City is not a city at all, it is a small town of about 1500 people. We found accommodations and inquired about a good place to eat...the recommendation, a local restaurant called Jimmy Mac's - <a href="http://www.jimmymacsrestaurant.com/">http://www.jimmymacsrestaurant.com</a>. The receptionist at the hotel said you have to try the mountain trout and that is exactly what we did...it was excellent!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

We made our way back to the hotel and made our plans for day 6, "The Tail of the Dragon"!</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Both Luc and I had been online reading about the ride to Deal's Gap and the Tail of the Dragon. It was suggested that early morning was a good time as there would be less traffic/congestion. The ride from Bryson City to Deal's Gap along routes 74 and 28 was good. The roads are great and fun to ride, especially as you get towards the Fontana Dam area on the 28!</div>

The Tail of the Dragon was up next, 318 curves in 11 miles! While we were getting ready for the ride, another Harley rider asked if I could take a few pictures of him and his wife. After the pictures, he asked if we had ridden the Dragon before, we responded saying we were first timers. He gave us some great advice about riding the curves, momentum and speed...I was actually very grateful for the advice! Once he departed, we mounted our Street Glides and were off to slay a Dragon!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
You are into the hard curves as soon as you start the Dragon and oh, what fun it is! We had no one in front of us and no one behind us...it was perfect! For the next 11 miles, it was twists and turns, like I said, 318 of them! There are professional photographers setup along the Dragon and they make images available to people who do the Dragon (for a cost). Here are some shots of me conquering the Tail of the Dragon!</div>

We made our way through Tennessee on Routes 129 and 321. We stopped in Maryville, TN for a coffee and made our plan for the rest of the day. Several locals provided directions and we were off again. Along the 321, we stopped at a local produce stand to try boiled peanuts, they were good! While at the stand, the owner Jack said, "you have to try out the Moonshine place next door", so not to be rude, we had no choice but to oblige!</div>

We each tried a very small sample of "shine" and were on our way. We ventured to Pigeon Forge, TN and made a quick stop at the Harley dealer. We did not realize that Pigeon Forge, TN is a huge tourist destination, it is a very busy place and if I am in the area again, I will probably try to avoid. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Next destination, Salem, VA. The next 4 hours consisted of highway driving on the I-81. This road is a busy one and the truck traffic is unbelievable! Luc and I set our cruise controls and for the next several hours weaved in and out of the traffic until we reached the Holiday Inn in Salem.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
For dinner in Salem, we checked out Billy's Barn. It was a rather interesting place! The food was good and we did not stick around very long. Tired from the heat, we retired for the day and made our plans for the next day.</div>

<b>Day 7 - Salem, VA to Montgomery, NY (800 KM)</b></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
This was our toughest day of the trip, straight Interstate riding for 497 miles/ 800 KM. There was nothing exciting about this "iron butt" day at least not until the end of the day! It is a good thing that we have the Scala Communicators to entertain each other!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We arrived at the Holiday Inn in Montgomery, NY about 6:00 pm and checked into our rooms. For some reason, Montgomery, NY sounded very familiar to me, but I could not figure out why! A quick Google search brought back my memory...Orange County Choppers! I checked on Google Maps and OCC was 6 miles from the Holiday Inn. We thought we were done riding for the day, but quickly we were back on the bikes and off to Orange County Choppers.</div>

Another highway day, at least until Troy, NY. The I-91 to Albany was a pleasant drive and traffic was light. A quick stop at the Harley dealer in Troy and we were off to Vermont and into New Hampshire via routes 9 and 202. At Concord, we caught the I-93 North and made our way to North Conway via the White Mountains and the Kancamagus Highway (Route 112). Once in Conway, we stopped at Whitehorse Gear. This an excellent place to buy motorcycle gear. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Luc purchased a few items and one of the employees demoed his new Vance and Hines Eliminator slipon exhaust for us. He had them installed on his 2015 Road Glide and they sounded good!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
When in North Conway, we always stay at the Colonial Inn. Four years ago, during a massive rain storm, the owner had a room for us and cleared out his carport so that we would not have to leave our bikes in the rain. We return the kind gesture by staying there every time we pass through.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Dinner was at the Chef's Bistro in North Conway and it was excellent! By far, this was the best meal of the entire trip and I highly recommend this as a place to eat!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Day 9 - North Conway, NH to Fredericton, NB (708 KM)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The ride home was a bit longer than it should have been. Again, an early morning start on Route 302 through the White Mountains. We were enjoying the scenery so much that we completely missed our turn off for Route 16 to Gorham, NH. We ended up riding West to Littleton, NH. Once we realized our mistake, we laughed, re-adjusted and made our way to Gorham, NH...I would guess this put us behind about 45 minutes. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In Gorham, we caught Route 2 into Maine. In Mexico, ME we made another error that cost us some time. We were going through a rotary and Luc and I took different routes, we spent the better part of an hour trying to find each other along the Androscoggin River...we laugh about it now! A quick stop for coffee in Skowhegan, ME and we were on our way to the I-95. A late lunch in Bangor, ME and on to the Canadian border.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The weather looked like rain, so we stopped to put on rain gear just outside of Houlton, ME. I was 100% sure that we were in for one heck of a storm, but nothing! After a quick stop at the Duty Free Store and Canadian Customs, we were on our way for the last 100 KM of our trip. We saw lots of lightning and dark clouds on the way home. So much so, that we geared up again at King's Landing. We came across wet roads, but again dodged the rain!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I think back to the word "EPIC" as this was perhaps the best road trip yet. The Skyline and Blue Ridge Parkways, excellent! The Tail of the Dragon, an experience! The hard ride to and from was worth every single mile. And I would be amiss if I did not mention my travelling partner and fellow biker friend, Luc. We have been on many road trips and I think that he would concur with the use of the word "EPIC" to describe this most recent trip!</div>

This year a new section of the Parkway has been opened and the views are spectacular! The long range plan is for the Parkway to connect with Fundy National Park. Once that is complete, it will be one of the most scenic rides in the Province.<br />

I figured that something was on his mind as he saw a motorcycle at the <a href="http://www.faceyman.com/2016/02/2016-moncton-motorcycle-show.html" target="_blank">Moncton Motorcycle Show</a> that really peaked his interest. About 5 weeks ago he contacted me and said, "Facey, I'm thinking about a new motorcycle and we should chat."<br />
<br />
The MC that peaked his interest was the 2016 Harley Davidson Street Glide - Rushmore Edition! To make a long story short, he worked out the purchase at the local Harley Davidson dealer and he is now the proud owner of a new Street Glide. I was invited to join him on the day he took ownership and I have to admit, his new ride is a real beauty!<br />
<br />
This past weekend, we went out for our first extended ride of the season, about 400 km along the Fundy Coast via St. Andrews by the Sea, Dipper Harbour and Saint John. I decided to throw my DSLR in one of my saddlebags so that I could grab a few shots of my friend's new ride.<br />

As you can see from the pics, this bike is a real beauty! Looking forward to sharing the asphalt with my friend Luc and his new Street Glide!<br />

While this is an odd looking adaptation of the Buell 1125, it provides a unique perspective which is reflective of mechanical art!<br />

It's foundation is a Chevrolet Camaro and the rest is all Bandit! From the YouTube video it looks kind of cool! 840HP and a $115,000 US will get you one. There will be a production run of 77 units to represent the original 1977 Trans Am that was made so famous by Burt Reynolds and Smokey and the Bandit! Listen to the Bandit talk about this car!<br />

It is at the mid-point of winter and is a sign that Spring and more importantly motorcycle season is only a few months away. Going to the show is about the trip and getting to hangout with some friends and talk about motorcycles!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
This year's show, like the past three years seemed to be scaled back. It was noticeable that <a href="http://www.bmw-motorrad.ca/ca/en/index.html" target="_blank">BMW Motorrad Canada</a> did not have a factory presence at the show; that is one display that I missed. There were half a dozen or so new BMWs from the local dealer, but it was just not the same as the the BMW Motorrad display from past years! The same applies to<a href="http://www.kawasaki.ca/" target="_blank"> Kawasaki Canada</a>, only a dealer presence; I was really hoping to get a look at 2016 Ninja H2R and the ZX-10R! Nothing from <a href="https://www.suzuki.ca/en/motorcycles" target="_blank">Suzuki Canada</a> either, this leaves me wondering if the manufacturers above participated in the larger venue shows in Montreal and Toronto, I suspect that they did. That being said, Honda, Harley Davidson, Ducati, and Yamaha had factory representation with Triumph following close behind; local dealers represented Kawasaki, Victory, Indian, BMW and KTM.<br />
<br />
Part of the fun of going to the Moncton Motorcycle Show is picking my top 5 motorcycles of the show. So, like past years (and blog posts), here are my top 5 picks from the 2016 Moncton Motorcycle show!<br />

My friend Luc took a liking to the Harley Davidson Street Glide Special (I will bring him to the dark-side yet) and the Ducati X Diavel S as they were his #1 & #2 choices of the show. Other motorcycles that grabbed my attention included the 2016 Indian Scout, 2016 Yamaha MT-10 (will be released in North America as the FZ-10), 2016 Ducati Panigale 1299S, 2016 Harley Davidson Seventy-Two and the 2016 Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin.</div>

Zal also took a liking to the Triumph Thruxton and the Yamaha MT-10 and I think deep down, he likes the Harley Davidson line up too. He spent a lot of time looking over the 2016 Harley Davidson Road Glide! </div>

I had a great day with friends at the Moncton Motorcycle Show and it was a good way to spend a cold Winter's day...looking at and talking about motorcycles! Now, I anxiously wait for the next 10 weeks to pass and for the 2016 Motorcycle season to begin!</div>
