Excellent video Brian. That was quite some trip.

I have a cousin in Ajax and visited a few years back so I know where you started from.

Not exactly a RTW trip, trip was about 2500 km total and did get into  Quebec also. I don't know if I need a new seat or a new rear end but I find I'm pretty sore after 300km in a day and  after 500km you need two people to lift me off the bike.

A gel pad would ease the discomfort and be way less money than a new seat.

Hey monte
Gel seat sounds like a good idea, I will look into it.

Happy trails
Brian

Nice video!  My wife uses a "Butt Buffer" (brand) on her stock seat.  It's sheepskin with a gel pad on the back side - she loves it.

Nice job, Brian!

I was getting a bit worried for you there, with the bike in the water and looking like the tide was coming in!

No tide, but It took a half hour to figure out that lifting a 400lb motorcycle straight up was not going to get it any less stuck, and another 10 minutes of lying the r65 it's side and filling the carb full of water and 20 minutes getting the water out of the left carb and getting it running again.

P.S.
very nice r65ls

Butt buffer looks like a good investment,

Thanks

Thanks everyone
For letting me have my 15 minute claim to fame and the positive comments on the video for now I'm taking the video down until I am sure it's legal to use the music.

Hope to see you all on the raod some day.
Brian
