What a difference a day makes. I awoke to a very warm and muggy morning and hit the road around 9am. I still had a lot of ground to cover and considering the holidiays (Thanksgiving in Canada and Columbus Day in the US), I was concerned about long wait times at the border. <\/p>\n

I continued my trek across the 104 into Rochester then north again so that I could continue following the Seaway Trail, which was the route I had been following since entering the United States. This took me all the way to Lewiston then on to Niagra. I was hoping to cross at the Whirlpool bridge, however, that is now only accessable by Nexus Pass holders (of which I am not). So not wanting to double back to Lewiston, which is mostly commercial traffic, I crossed over the Rainbow Bridge back into Canada. I waited a whopping 5min to cross the border. <\/p>\n

Okay…what the hell…I might as well drive past the falls since I was there anyway. Here I had bit of a rest (parked illegally) and took the chance to check over the bike.
\"\"<\/a>Simply put…it’s in rough shape. The chain and sprockets are completely ruined and the chain is about to fall off or break. It wasn’t long before a cop passed by to check me out. I told him I had to check over the bike and that it wasn’t doing well but I would be on my way soon at which point he left me alone. <\/p>\n

Not wanting to waste any more time or do a lot of extra shifting, I took to the highway and headed straight home. <\/p>\n

All in all, the trip around the lake was a total of 849km long and when you add that to the riding from Friday and Saturday, I put on a total of 1547km over four days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
