    Dreaming of Trans Taiga

    I didn't hear any talk about fuel in Saguenay. The map I picked up from the office at the start of the James Bay road. Talking with him about taking a trip along the Trans Tiaga he only said about fuel at Mirage, hence the note on the map. However I have Mirage's website now...

    Dreaming of Trans Taiga

    I thought it would be best to drop in again. I have done the shake down run for the bike up to Radisson. It went well and the rebuild can now be considered done. An easy ride up there and back. Fresh asphalt for a lot of the run and some gravel where they are still working. Nothing of any...

    Hello chaps. I have the messages about zoom. Sounds good to me. I am on nights this week so leave for work at 6pm Ontario time, other than that am in any day that suits. Still doing the rebuild! I have been held up with the rear shock, but that looks to be sorted now and is finally on its way...

    Cheers for the answers about the spot and in reach systems. I think I will continue with my current method for this year, winging it! Nothing I haven't done before and until I come up with something serious I think there is no need to over think things.

    Dreaming of Trans Taiga

    Hello Fred. Can I ask about this? I see and hear about Spot being mentioned a lot, especially in the North American markets. I have never used it and been to some reasonably remote places with no back up or get out clause. I knew the risks, accepted them and that was that. Now living here and...

    Dreaming of Trans Taiga

    Yeah, sorry it took awhile. I'm just a little too laid back sometimes! The bike is coming along nicely, thank you. It looks like it will be getting another frame to be built up around. For a few reasons this is the better option, so the old frame is being retired. Hopefully the replacement...

    Dreaming of Trans Taiga

    Thank you. I doubt it. It's been a few years since I travelled properly. This will be the first time I have had the bike here since making the move three years ago. This year is about playing around again, getting bike fit and relaxed. Plus I am working again, something I don't like, so have...

    Hello Chaps. English Zed here, the fella from Timmins Skibum mentioned earlier. Despite registering sometime ago I just got around to being organized enough to read the ten pages. It seems everyone is well on the way to being packed! So by way of an introduction, yes I have travelled before. No...
