Jim C-G, thank you for posting the videos, I enjoyed them. I had seen the acronym RDF earlier in the thread and was trying to figure out what it meant. "RDF motorcycle" got an unusual result in Google, I should have put in "RDF Newfoundland" the correct meaning popped right up--but you had...

I bought my first dual sport back in 2007, while I was home for a year, a DR 650. Sold it when I returned to the mainland. After I was gone I discovered advrider and Ride the Rock. I got enamoured with the KTM 690’s, followed multiple threads on advrider for years. Managed to get as far as...

I enjoyed your video. I've never been down that road.

In a major US city one time I drove past a dude wearing head to toe black, no helmet on a blacked out cruiser, parked in a tiny paved median space (no curbs, just diagonal lines on the pavement) just where it started on a road with eight lanes of traffic at night, away from any close by street...

The thing that ticks me off this time of year is home owners that when it gets down the the last bit of snow on their lawns suddenly get a hair up their ass that they feel compelled to go shovel it out on the road to have it melt two days sooner--rather than just spread it out on their on lawn...

I was on a website forum for the aquarium hobby that then gave rise to a club which at first had its own thread on the forum but eventually spun off to a Face Book group. I find the Face Book group better for short posts of passing interest. The problem with Face Book is that unless you spend...

I just noticed the date for the "launch" of the Provincial on-line park reservation system is staggered depending on what part of the province the park is in. From the government's web site... Tourism, Culture, Industry and Innovation April 11, 2017 Minister Mitchelmore Announces Launch Date...

Congrats on the twins! Myself and Iqaluit Pete may attend (can't confirm yet) but if we do, it will probably be aboard the big white 1750 twin... We had a great time last year. I kept looking for this thread in the event planning section--just stumbled across it here tonight.

Murph, I camped at Notre Dame Park with friends on May 24. The pass ($5 daily or $20 seasonal) was for my vehicle only. Years ago it was a sticker, these days it is a pink tag you would normally hang off of your rear view mirror in a car/truck. At least that format makes it transferable from...

Did you have any corrosion issues due to road salt during winter use? Did you take any measures to mitigate corrosion?

murph I was wondering a couple of things about your winter riding. I lived in St. John’s for 9 years and had occasion in the early and late part of the riding season to head off to the mall or work when it was nice out on the bike (didn’t have a car for the first 6 years, so I pushed the riding...

Or three wheels--don't forget the trikes, Can-Am Spyders and hacks out there. Oh heck, lets include the one wheel people too...

Here is one example... http://www.dual-star.com/index2/Rider/heated_grip_kit1.htm Make sure to insulate your left grip with something to even the heat out. They list some heavy wall shrink wrap on that page I linked above.

Yes, its cold--well for Houston at least, I had go go flick the thermostat over from A/C to furnace and try to find a hoodie to wear for the first time since last March yesterday. murph, you remain well informed.

Its a snuggy buggy!

There are a bunch of crash sites in the Gander area. I had a buddy take me to a few of them in the winter time on snowmobile--makes it easy-peasy--just drive up to them. The folks in Gander here http://www.northatlanticaviationmuseum.com/ should be able to give you coordinates of the sites...

I have never met Murph, but think I would like to! :)
