1530KM Weekend Tour - Gaspe, QC. - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

drawflush · 07-22-2008, 11:01 AM

Hey Folks,

Just returned yesterday from touring the Gaspe in Quebec, Canada travelling from my hometown of Moncton, New Brunswick. Let me tell you this, what a wonderful and beautiful bike ride this is. This trip will take you through a 2-3 day coastline trail that is riddled with lazy inlet fishing communities, cutaway mountains and plenty of twisted road to feed your leaning desires. of the 1500km trip we took, approx 400km is spent within reaching distance of the 'Gas bay' which feeds directly off the atlantic ocean. A 6.5M $ road improvement initiative has created some of the smoothest riding trails you can find on the north eastern coast.

Link to Google Map with outlined Tour

I'll share my pictures with you in the next few days once I have time to unload and gather everyones pictures. Present on the trip were 5 bikes and 10 passengers, including a yamaha vstar 650, yamaha vstar classic 1100, Honda ST 1300, Honda Shadow SE 1100 and myself Boulevard M50 800.

Wow! Looks like a nice ride.

The stock seat was not very pleasant and by the end of the trip was a struggle to fight through the pain. My partner in crime also had a pretty sore butt by the end of the trip. We both used gel pad covers, but that still wasn't enough. I plan on buying the Mustang Wide Touring for next season ( just a bit too pricey for this season ).

I still haven't forgotten the pictures, I'm just waiting for my brother in-law to download all his photos from his camera. Keep posted.
