Opinicon Road / Chaffey's Lock, Rideau Canal, Moto Guzzi Nuovo Falcone. March 2017

A short late winter ride along the Opinicon Road in Eastern Ontario on my 1974 Moto Guzzi Nuovo Falcone Militaire. For a change of pace, I've added a bit of commentary about riding the bike, the road and the general history of the area.

I have watched most of your videos and your voice become familiar to me.. best companion for my coffee,thank you!

[@nick949eldo]

How kind - thank you. Enjoy that coffee and ride safely.

[@relicguzzidog]

Very cool video Nick. I like the narration; always nice to learn about areas I've never visited. Keep them coming.

[@theeaselrider4032]

Still one of my favourite roads in Ontario.

[@jochendobersalske8031]

Verry nice video, thank you Nick.have. ☺

[@650Triton]

We are planning a camping trip your way Nick

I assume the falcon was sacrificed to make way for the panther? Could I ask what was the reason and how do you compare them? Are you happier with 1 over the other?

[@nick949eldo]

Yes. The Panther was replacing one from my teenagerhood so it was an emotional thing and no reflection on the NF. The Panther has more torque but is far more antique feeling. The NF is far smoother.

So many deer along this road!

[@enfielddnepr]

Yes! How do they taste?

[@mrfunkeyy1116]

I would be a bit worried about the water runoff and sand/salt on the road, i live about 20 mins east of that area... I would want to be out riding in those conditions

[@nick949eldo]

The bike will out-live me Brennan. I stay on top of the corrosion, but bikes are for riding, not looking pretty.
