« on: August 13, 2007, 04:09:25 PM »
Well, my buddy and I decided to take a little tour. We heard good things about Vermont, so we decided to give it a whirl...

Departure: August 3 @ ~5:00 pm
Arrival: August 7 @ ~8:00 pm
Distance travelled: 2,200 km
Provinces/States visited: Ont/VT/NY/NH

Overall the trip was amazing, lots a spectacular scenery, great roads, and and overall fun time was had by all.

I think pictures speak louder than words so here they are: ENJOY !

I'd have been tempted to take the sidewalk on that flooded section ;)

Is that a Gears Canada tankbag?

Looks like the Joe Rocket Sport tank bag to me... if not, it's a dead ringer for the one I have.  :wink:

It's a floating bridge...not flooded bridge :) lol ..Brookfield Floating Bridge to be exact... 1st one was built in the 1800's..... It was certainly a lot of fun riding in water :)

As for the tankbag - it's a Joe ROcket Sport tankbag... which i will be selling casue it's WAY too big and just doesn't work with the contours of my gas tank ....

I'm glad the floating bridges we have around here work better than that one.  :bandit:

Looking again, I see the logo in the second shot of the bag.

I just picked up an Ixon X-Pand bag. I'm not sure yet if I like it or not, since every time I go to full lock the bag honks the horn.
