Nova Scotia

[SHREDDER]

Has anyone done a ride to Nova Scotia?  I've been thinking about do a trip there in the summer.  Thanks.

I think the members from Nova Scotia have been there before.

Shredder, Always wanted to go to N/S. I would go on  that ride. Never been there. That could be a good 3k or more ride? Post up if you think more of it.

I found some information on it, you can get a free brochure at http://novascotia.com/ride/

Guide order, One of my customers went to N/S this fall and is going to bring me some info. It would be neat to plan a trip like that. Was thinking of going to SD in june for a concourse rally, but would love to go to N/S. Keep in touch.

I'm planning on a trip to Americade and Laconia in June so I was thinking maybe in July.  It's still up in the air at this point.  Concourse rally, are you referring to the Kawasaki Concourse?  I passed by a Concourse rally in Vermont this past summer.  Do they hold it in a different location every year?

If you are going to Laconia why not just keep going north to N/S. Do it all in one trip? Yes, I do mean Kawasaki Concourse. I think it is the 20th anniversary? Thay are having a tour of the factory in Wisconsin. Then a 4 day ride in South Dakota. The conourse is a damn good bike. I think he is waiting to see if he can get off work to make plans. Either trip would be cool But, Nova Scotia is my #2 dream ride next to Alaska.

I live in Portland Oregon and I'm a Concours Owners Group member (that's Concours without an "e"), I also own a Ninja 250 and a Bandit 400.  In the Summer of '04 I rode my Ninja 250 to Nova Scotia.  I made this ride in conjunction with a stop in Johnstown Pennsylvania where we had the Concours Owners Group National Rally.  There were maybe 200 Connies there.  Nova Scotia was nice. I had a blast avoiding the freeways and staying on the back roads.  These are small tight rual farm roads that twist and turn.  I rode them fast and had a very good time.  Hints, GO TO CAPE BRETTON, It's really nice.

Here's the little Ninja at Cape Bretton

Thanks for the tip!  That looks like the same pic they have in all the Nova Scotia brochures.

That would be the Cabot Trail, an awesome ride. Lots of twisties and elevation changes.

I rode from Toronto to the Cabot trail last year.  These pictures do not do it justice.

The ride was great.  I'll have to book more time for the next one.
