Fantastic.  Was in NS a few years back and absolutely loved the place.  Can't wait to get back up there.  Enjoy and send some photos.   :2vrolijk_21:

Just riding, me & Jane.
Left Joppa at 9am, beautiful weather. Told wife, lets turn it over to GPS and enjoy the ride. It took us to the NJ Turnpike, not a great ride but really smooth ride, $36 in tolls later it put us across the GW Bridge and into the city. 5 1/2 hrs & 80 miles later, stop & go all the way finally threw in the towel and jumped off I95 at New Haven, Ct. Could have cooked an egg on the poor SERK's motor. Stopped for the night in Sturbridge, Ma. Will stay away from the coast until in Me. Moral: NEVER try what you or a friend has never done. LESSON LEARNED........sorry no pics except me cussing. BTW, Crossed the GW Bridge at noon got off I95 at 5:30. Never saw a wreck or any major construction, any members from that area know WTF????

Riding around Halifax for a couple of days. Rode to the waterfront and caught a 3 masted scooner in the harbor.

The Highway Patrol and the local law ride Victory's. They don't seem to be overly impressed with my 2 1/4 baffles, but not being hardasses either. One local took a look up the pipe and said "Oh, you do have silencers on that thing".............THING????????? You only wished yours sounded like that!!!!

Nice 2k – thanks for posting this account. I’ve done the Nova Scotia run a several times and have considered doing it again this season. Easier for me though, I’m less than five hours from Calais to cross the border. I enjoy going into the Atlantic Maritimes compared to driving the Northeast Corridor going south from Maine. I did a two-up ride to Newfoundland on a Road King to visit the Viking settlement in L’Anse aux Meadows in 2005 – wouldn’t mind doing this again with my cameras…
