Thanks Vince,

I've been wanting to put something together in that regard but I'm running out of time before we get going again in a few days. Too many things to do and not enough time. Bike specific mods are few (other than what I've already done before we left in May). I've decided to add a roto-pax fuel cell and a couple of tool tubes both under the side cases.

I'm not planning on running with extra fuel day to day but the fact that we've nearly run out of fuel twice now concerns me a bit. Maybe it's because I've come from a 7.7 gallon tank of the ST1300 and I realize that's more my fault but still, I find the tank on the Tiger small. There are definitely a few places where we're going to have to carry a bit more fuel so I thought I would pick one up.


Thanks Bones,

Our destination planning seems to be as fickle as we are. One day we ride till lunch and we look for a place to stay while we stop for a coffee break, other days we go till dinner before deciding. Other days still, we know exactly where we're going to end up in before we even leave in the morning. One thing that we both agree on is that we'd like to stop much earlier in the day. This part of our trip is still a work in progress it seems, as some days we don't get going till 11am so it's hard to stop only 3 hrs later. So we often find ourselves riding a bit longer.

At the root of that I think, is the invisible schedule (that we're not supposed to have). We want to make it out to Alaska and back down to BC for the HUBB meeting in Aug.

With that said, we both really like being able to go where we feel like and the ability to change our minds and the direction when it suits us (or doesn't suit us as far as the weather goes). We both like letting our internal compass guide us. We've not experienced that before as there was always a schedule to keep, rain or shine, tired or not, we kept going because we had to go back to work when we got back.

Canada is very beautiful indeed, I'm glad we can give you a sneek peek. We've been to the east coast 4 times now and each visit gets better and better. We always find something new to see and it never gets boring. We're both very much looking forward to the west coast as we've never really been there before (except for a 2 hr layover in Vancouver).

Thanks for following along.
