Why Nova Scotia?

Why not Nova Scotia might be the better question. It's one of those exotic sounding places that I've never been to and that's reason enough for me. I plan on leaving around the 8th of May and spending several weeks on the ride. Along the way I'll be camping out, visiting unsuspecting friends , and maybe getting to ride along with them for awhile. Let me know if you're up to either!

Feb 24 - Ninja get's a new Windscreen..Yippee!




While waiting for the call from the fabrication shop a new windscreen from Zero Gravity arrived which I installed. It was during the first ride to Alaska I discovered how little wind protection the factory windscreen provided which in turn prompted my recent search for a solution. Zero Gravity is well known for their line of racing windscreens but they also make some of the best street and touring equipment. The new screen worked well in yesterday's monsoon-like weather and I’m satisfied it will enhance the upcoming ride.


Here’s a couple of pics of it plus the dash layout showing the Garmin GPS, heated grip control (lower left on the fairing) and digital controller for the electric vest. Boy am I spoiled or what?

    Hi, Larry...

    I'm in Myrtle Point. I saw your blog about taking the Ural to Deadhorse--you're my kind of crazy. When this crappy weather clears up, let's have coffee.

    Hi Jerry,
    I'll be in touch via email soon, coffee sounds good to me. There's a diverse group of bikers who meet for breakfast in Brookings each month, 2nd Sunday around 9:00am. All bikers are welcome, it's not a club, no dues, just guys and gals who like bikes. All sorts of rigs show up so you'd fit right in. If you're interested let me know and I'll see you're added to the email list.

    My buddy Mac rode the Ural to Deadhorse - He's a bit on the stranger side of life too - and when I'm on 3 wheels it's my Aprilia Pegaso with the Sputnik hack. I'm not sure which is saner...

    I like your blog, will be following it.
