as some of you noticed i was not online at all last week and given enough hints one of you did correctly post where i was. i was lucky enough to be able to combine both a motorcycle trip and a family vacation into the same trip. both me and steve rode and we had our parents in a chase vehicle at various times my wife sue my step-daughter elizabeth and even mom were passengers on the 2 bikes. our main destination for this trip was Prince Edward Island ( P.E.I. ) Canada

total trip route aprox 1800 miles:

day 5 July 8th we met up with the local hog chapter today for a mystery ride, mom and dad did their own thing in the car



we did about 190 miles on the ride going out to west point and back started having major trouble with the radio today so went most of the day without it. started thinking about what my options are for replacing it. also had some front injector trouble i had been having an occasional misfire prior to the trip but it got really bad on this ride and i noticed i had a code in the ECM

light house at west point

after the ride we met up with our parents and rode up to new glasgow for a lobster dinner

[naitram]

day 6 July 9th not much riding today, the girls wanted a beach day so i went up to the dealer to get the code check in the ECM and see what my options were. it also now no longer an option if i will replace my radio i go out to the SERK and find that the face plate to the radio has been stolen  dealer pulled the code which pointed to the front injector and felt that i may have some water in the gas. they added some isopropyl and perscribed a couple of doses of fuel injector cleaner.



after the girls got back from the beach we had lunch and heaed into the port area of charlottetown. there was a sand sculpture attraction there here are a few of them






time to cool off how about a brewery tour? we walked up to the gahan brewery had a glass of their new IPA and a even got a glass of their red poured right off the side of the aging tank




back down toward the water and listen to the nightly free concert

day 7 July 10th weather didnt look great today but we set off toward east point with no real itinerary


we made a scenic stop at St. Peters Bay ( they farm mussles here )

found info about a national park on the other side of the bay in Greenwich
did a 4.5km ( about 2.5 miles ) scenic walk

there is a fresh water pond very close to the ocean with a floating boardwalk across it

walk over a sand dune and its the ocean

looking back inland


back on the road we get out to east point clouds getting darker but still no rain

at the light house

looking back down

the building below was moved because of erosion you can see the old foundation

danger danger


we start heading back toward the center of the island and stop at singing sands



it starts raining and is getting late in the day so we head back for dinner and begin to get ready for the ride home

Great pics of a good family get-away.  Thanks for posting 'em Naitram.  Where was your scooter when the 'face-plate' was stolen?  And did the alcohol take care of the water in gas issue?  Just wondering.  spyder
