Sir Wilfred gave this book to a family friend and fellow physician during his retirement in Vermont. The friend left it it to my late father in law, who as a medical student in the 1950s spent a summer in St. Anthony working at the Grenfell hospital. Those med student slots were highly coveted...

Great video. Glad you are OK. Here's a (sort of) moose story to go with your post: I was in Newfoundland for 9 days and almost 3000 km in late August early sept. Thanks to the power of magical thinking, a toy moose attached to my dash protected me from all moose encounters. In fact I saw only...

Hi Newfoundlanders: This post is way overdue. Many of you have been very gracious providing advice to me as a know-nothing planning a visit to the rock. You might get bored of giving the same advice over and over but I never felt that. Thanks. I did get to visit Newfoundland in late August...

Hi Tony, Sorry for the delayed followup. My trip was changed due to unexpected events, such is life. I do look forward to visiting you beautiful island, but won't be on two wheels this year. I thank you again for your offer. Regarding you question: I've ridden the BRP and separately Skyline...

The road to Keels is called "Top Road" in Google Maps. Sounds like it's well named.

Thanks, all, for your valued advice. I have about 11 days in NL in late July, will visit the west and north coasts. Then leave the moto in St. Johns to return to my job. Return in late August/early September for 8 more days in NL. The second leg will include St. Johns (2 days), Avalon and...

BTW, 500k is a long day for me. Would prefer less.

This touron's plans are gelling: Arrive PAB more or less early Tuesday July 18. leave St. Johns Sunday July 30 so I keep my job. Bike stays in St. John's. Return 4 weeks or more later, more NL time, then NS and back to the states. This will give me about 14 days on the island. Advice...

I'm planning a couple of rides in NL and NS next summer and early fall. Instead of shipping or riding the moto back to my home in the US, on a wild hair I'm considering the option of selling it and flying home. I realize that the price would have to be right, with the hassle and expense of...

Thanks Tony! I'll be in touch as the time gets closer. PS: I also have a GTS super, really enjoy it, use if for warm weather commuting and errands.

Hi, I'm very much looking forward to moto touring NS and mainly NL next summer. I can get time off from work in up to two week blocks, but not consecutive. My plan would be to visit NS and mainly NL during the last two weeks of July, fly from St Johns back to my little rat race, then return to...

Murph, I'll add religious segregation and mistrust, perhaps entirely a legacy from the old countries. I've read enough reports and reminiscences from before and even after confederation of citizens making sure to stay on one's own religion's "side of the tracks" for fear of physical harm...

Sorry I wrote a long and rambling post last night after a really good party. At least the party was good. I took the post down, but not before murph's insights below.

Thanks to dresda and others who have recommend this book and other accounts of the truly heroic rescue efforts by Newfoundlanders, and other writings.

Thanks very much, I have already found and enjoyed your excellent, relaxed, and informative youtube posts. You sure have a knack for the bluebird days :-) I think I will still pack the rain gear, just in case.

Hi ridetherock forumites, Dave from Richmond, VA here. With a little luck, I'll be in NL on two wheels for at least 8 days, maybe 2 weeks sometime next year. Sometime between June and mid September. This post is to ask for something different: to help me understand the place and the...
