    You will probably never run out of roads to explore in northern Canada, but I would suggest Mexico this winter. San Felipe, and Loreto, in Baja Mexico would be a good place to start. The nicest people you are likely to ever meet.

      Great tip, one day i dream of making it to Mexico on a bike (something like Simon Gandolfi in his books, when i grow up). Cheers from Wisconsin.

    Now I want to fire up the old Yamaha and find some gravel roads to ride on! Thanks for sharing your rip in the country, sorry about your phone.

    Sorry about your phone mishap Nick but that's all part of the adventure I guess? Your attitude and common sense will see you through most issues that crop up I think. Thanks for sharing

    Great to see those remote ways turning green again Nick. Thanks for the video tutorial. I'll be watching out for a resumed run on the loop once you replace your broken navigator.

    Fantastic video. Great scenery, great sound. Made me ravenous to get out on the roads myself! Hope this is a foretaste of many great miles of Guzzi back roads riding videos this summer! Best!

    Always enjoy your videos Nick, onboard engine sound is excellent. However, if you want to speak into your Mic handheld, you will need a Dead Cat in most situations outdoors. Really envy those quiet Canadian Roads. Funnily enough, just finished editing my Mother's account of her wartime evacuation to Canada (as a six year old!) in which the Canadians were almost uniformly wonderful to her.

    • @nick949eldo
      @nick949eldo  Рік тому +1

      Thanks CMD. I now have a very hairy dead cat and it works well when I remember to use it. I can't take any credit for kind Canadians as I'm an import - but there are many fine people - as there are everywhere. Stay well. N.

    Twisty gravel back roads are a nice diversion, but you do have to watch for someone cutting a blind corner. A chilly day here on the north side of Lake Superior.
