So I finally did it ,been wanting to do this trip for a while.Go from Vancouver BC to Moncton NB and back via the states.I spent 17 days on the road and 11 day in NB .Stayed at my folks place in Memramcook .Got rain on every 2 days grr.
Saw the town(Rouleau)on #39  were corner gas is filmed that was sweet.Rode down to North Dakoda to SR 52  then to SR 2 to Michigan Croosed back in Canada in Sault st Marie.Did some touring and visit some relatives in old Quebec,Ottawa,Montreal .
Whent on a couple of rides in NB .Good thing I have that ESA suspension on the KS!
Maine Sr9 to SR 1 was on  was nice and roads were great.New Hamshire ,Vermont ,New york was vrey busy as it was a sunny weekend and everybody was out in the country side.Pennsylvania has some sweet twisties but it was raining something bad.Went by the Mississipi river and it was all the way to the road in Iowa.Had to go north for a bit as they closed some roads in the mid west.
South Dakota is very cool with all the ghost towns. Stopped by Mount Rushmore Sr 385 and took the back roads to make it to Yellowstone park via SR 16 to 20 then 14 .Very bussy in the park but  scenic.Made my way north on the SR 89 to Montana SR 12 to SR 141 to SR 83 and I really liked the 70 MPH limit in secondary roads weee.I crossed the border in Roosville.pulled in Cranbrook.Last day of trip on Highway 3 .Overall I had a good time and did not spend a fortune on gas ,only 620$ Not bad for a 4 week trip.

Nice trip Swordfish, I was feeling kind of smug with my week off riding around the PNW until we meet up in Trail and you told me you had been out for a month   I would love to be able to do that some time. Good pics post some more

I congratulate you on your accomplishment.  No telling when I will find the time to make such a trip.  

 A friend of mine (Harley rider) had to have his girl friend nag him into making the trip.  They called from California yesterday.  I am jealous as hell and I know he is grinning from ear to ear.  

They are doing 10-12 hour days.  I didnt know they had it in them.

What?   You were in Moncton and Memramcook and you didn't stop to say hello to the Acadian Rider?    

Are you from Memramcook?  If so you must be another Acadian Rider. Perhaps even a relative.  My folks grew up in Memramcook.
