Default X-Canada trip

Hi all,
I just traded in my R1150R for an 07 GS.
My wife and I took a 3-month trip in 06, crossing Canada twice. We covered over 27000 km riding 2-up. If anyone is planning a trip across Canada I'd be happy to suggest some interesting routes and share my exprience.

We'll take another extended trip on the GS - just not sure when right now.

Inspiring. Looks like I'm going to add Canada to my list of must do's.

I'm currently reading Neil Peart's book "Ghost Rider" and this too has given me the bug to visit Canada.

Stu,
Ghost Rider gave me the bug. Then I discovered Ted Simon, Helge Petersen and Chris Scott. After that I had do take some kind of adventure on the bike!

Cheers,
