hi all,

new member here. i'm in boston spending time with older parents and trailered the r100gs from austin. i just couldn't resist the opportunity to get north.

riding an 93 r100gs.

i'm currently working on getting the front end sorted after upgrading to 320 mm rotor. bike is well sorted but i am a relatively new rider. i'd say intermediate on slab and new on dirt. i've been wrenching on the bike for two years and expect to be well provisioned.

hoping to lean on the list for a couple of things (researching other threads day by day):

1. any good map for labrador? AAA maps here in the states suck for this area.
2. can i go through the west route by land to labrador and do the remote wilderness first and head east then south though nfld then nova scotia and then back to the states?! i normally do a crap load of research but i'd like to head out when the weather looks good and not be tied into a ferry crossing reservation.
3. anyone have gps waypoints (i'm a gps newbie) for gas stations and emergency services of mechanics/MC shops?
4. i'm not as limber as i used to be (read getting off the ground sucks) and i'm traveling with a bedroom sized PAP machine as i couldn't get the travel PAP sorted in time. any good suggestions on cheap lodging with electrical outlet and a bathroom/shower? i'm also hearing that lodging on nfld is clocking in at $100 is per night. so- sleeping on the floor works fine but getting that full night sleep with an electrical outlet is important these days!
thanks for any advice. i am trying to make time for epic trips as i get older and labrador and newfoundland certainly fall in that category...
