Victoria BC to Woodstock Ontario

[Rich82GS750TZ]

Frickin’ Northern chupacabra I’ll bet. Or Sasquatch.

Lol…you guys are funny! I’m at my cousins cottage in Stokes Bay Ontario 5300kms we averaged just over 800kms a day.
went fishing outside Flin Flon Manitoba caught three pike and the boys all caught at least one too.
I hit a deer outside Kenora Ontario I was doing around 115kmph and it was running out of a bush to my left…bush and long grass ditch…never saw it coming…it right in front of me and my front tire clipped his rear hoof as he galloped by… crazy.
A couple of moose crossed in front of us outside Cold Lake Alberta and one bear outside Banff Alberta

Wow, that sounds a lot better than a pickup running a red light. How many performance awards????

Effin deer. Hope all is well.
Trevor, my late father's birthday is 7/22 so definitely a good date. Hope things can still go as planned.

Hi all, yeah no damage other than my underwear lol
I can’t figure out how to post pics from my phone.
I’ve been in my hometown of Woodstock since Sunday. My wife flys in tonight. Friday is dads memorial and we take off for home Monday morning. Port Huron crossing into Michigan staying in Newberry Mi Monday then Grand Rapids Minnesota Tuesday. Haven’t figured out the rest yet but it looks like number two home through the USA to BC

Boy is it ever hot here…and humid! Not used to that

cheers

THanks for update.

Have a good memorial time with family.

Looks like your itinerary for Monday into/thru Michigan is at least a 455 mile day with international border crossing and crossing Mac Bridge, so probably not looking for an excursion. But if you are, there before Mackinaw, although further west, but not too far off your path, is M119 Tunnel Of Trees. Will be listed in most tourist info and most motorcyclist info.

And, yes, this weekend and first part of next week is suppose to be the hottest most humid of the summer so far.

I've heard of visors in cars, but what's that on top of the windshield? A standard part, or something you made yourself?

It's a Puig wind deflector....and it works very well!
I always thought these things looked goofy and didn't work. But I was having wind buffering from my optional "Touring" windscreen so a buddy gave me his deflector to try....amazing. I've never had much wind protection on any of my bikes before and always thought it unnecessary....boy was I wrong...I rode 10,504kms with the shield of my helmet up....

[Big Block]

I have one on my Bandit as well. It looks goofy but it does help with the buffeting a bit. I am going to put some stock bars on it as well to get me down and closer to the windshield as well, tall bars don't work for my 6'1" frame I guess.

I'm the opposite, I like the wind in my face. If I wanted to ride in a air pocket, I'd take the car... haha

I do know what you mean about buffering. The FJR has a big air vent above the instrument cluster. It's supposed to reduce the buffering, It might help a little bit... I just keep my shortened windshield in the low position. I let my helmet cut through the wind.

[Big Block]

Yup: I prefer my 1150EF too. With the low windshield I find it's actually quieter and no buffeting at all. I have been thinking about taking the tall windshield off my Bandit and putting the low stock one on again and see if I prefer it. Not meaning to derail your thread Trevor! Welcome back home!
