    As winter closes in here in Chilly Beach, it has me pining away for spring and Ridin' Season. Any of you Bluenosers in the area want to plan a May or June Ride Day to start the season right?

    We could perhaps start at the Bike Blessing in Truro and put in a "Day to Wherever and Back."

    Anyone interested?

    Located in Truro, not far for sure. Apparently Woot and a couple of others are handy, too. What do you say guys? Up for some early ride planning?

    Not from Nova Scotia, from NL... But I plan on driving through NS on the way to PEI this summer with the bike in the back of the truck... Just have to get a truck first, then quit my job!

    I'm going to NL I think this summer with a bike group... not sure where - might head down to burgeo, or north west to the 'meadows.

    Whoa! If this thread died, johno8, I'm afraid I may have killed it! Didn't realize there were posts in here!

    Yeah?
    L'Ance Aux Meadows?? That's a far cry from my neck of the woods... Let me know the plan when you figure it all out!!

    I say take the Port aux Basque ferry if you're heading north, then come across the island and hang out in St. John's (George street is a must) and tour the avalon / Irish Loop a bit before taking the Argentia ferry home (or vice versa... but the St. John's hangover might make the drive to the west coast a little precarious) :lol:

    Can't bring a Cod... we're all out. LOL!
    Lots of screech available!! I'll pick some up when I'm in Jamaica. :D

    Seriously though, I bought the truck - so I'm halfway there. Just need to pay it off and save for a trip to see my Bro in Scotland and I'm headin that way. Probably late july, early august.

    Yup - the CBR is getting "Tour-ified" ;)

    It has track clothes... and tour clothes... just doing some minor soldering on the bench getting the aux fuse panel setup.... I'm still wondering if I want to tap the dash for a couple of switches or not.

    Don't worry about the sport bike - I still ride like I was on a mid 70s cruiser ;)

    Nice.

    Well maybe if you end up here I'd be better suited riding on the Katana than the Seca, haha.

    Either way - you'll be fine. :D You'd know the roads and I'd be lugging a moose in my sidebags ;)

    Hey guys,
    Just a quick question for any bluenosers out there. Have you changed over to the new style fuse box on your XJ, and if so where did you by the box? As well I have to bu an in-line filter as well, any good places around?
    Thanks Mac

    If you're talking about the same style fuses like those in a car, yes, I just did that this week. I bought a 6 fuse box at Princess Auto and rewired the bike to move the fuses to the top of the battery like in my old Venture.

    I'm going to princess auto and jentronics this morning... wiring a GS500 in my drive way later on.

    If you need specialty electronics around here, Jentroics is awesome...

    Princess Auto also has on sale a spool of 14 guage trailer cable (2 - wires,
    stranded - great for running auxillary power) - $7.99 IIRC
