Haha. Sometimes you have no choice when the weather turns cold. Not a huge fan of windshields unless they are superb (and most aren't).

The 410 kilometres of gravel of the North Road to Chibougamau would be a fight on the GL1500. I'm sure it could be done but I wouldn't advise it. The road conditions are very variable and one slip would be a disaster with no help available.

The Billy Diamond Highway is paved all the way to Radisson.

@timothylong1857 Thank you Timothy.

@frankvanhuijstee3654 thank you Frank 😁

Hi Grizz. I haven't forgotten. Stay well😊

I occasionally shed a glove or two when I've been playing with the cameras. Yes, it's unwise and risky and one of these days it will probably bite me. I do usually wear them all the time along with the usual ATGATT stuff.

Haha. I like to keep you on your toes. If you were looking for a two-up bike you could do a lot worse. As I've discovered, there are reasons why they have been so popular. They're not the great whales they seem (but then, whales are amazingly fast and agile too). All the best. N.

@@nick949eldo My wife fancied one for herself, maybe best if I dont show her the video LOL

@user-bw3dt3kf3z That's a long trip from BC to NF. The Trans Lab adds a couple of days but allows you to make a Loop. This was my third time that way (first before it was paved, second on a scooter). Have fun.

@@nick949eldo Yes it was a long trip we did not do it on a bike as I didn't have one. Used a new Atlas and tent trailer. Put 30,000 kms on. We hope to do it again with the Atlas as we are probably too old to try it on our GL1500. We now have a little Tab trailer and it should do the trick. I think you are amazing to have done it on you guzzi

@hillbilly4christ638 short answer, thankfully no. I mean, I'd like to see one, from a healthy distance and preferably with a big fence between us. They occasionally make is as far south as the lower end of James Bay, but they are usually further north.

Thanks Richard. It's a change, that's for sure 😄

@theeaselrider4032 I've only ridden an St1100 once, but yes.... I'm a suckered for a Corbin seat. Its what tipped the scales. There's one on my Guzzi Breva 1100. Fabulous!

It's not if, but how.

Many thanks friend. I love those Urals. Ride safely and stay well.

@frugalterrier8124 the reverse gear of the gl1500 really helps. You don't have to be quite as selective about where and how you park.

@frugalterrier8124 I hope all goes well. Glad you can still ride. It's good for our mental health. Best wishes for a full recovery.

It's surprising how much these videos lower my motorcycle fever.

@jeroldkohl4094 Thanks Jerold. I hope you're back to good health soon. Be well. 😃

I went to look at one, passed and was casually waiting for the next when I realized that I was getting shorter, weaker and as final justification, the garage was getting too full for a big tourer. Then Rick called, telling me I'd waited long enough, his Aprilia Scarabeo 500 Tour-packaged Scooter was finally available in my price range. Big(ger) and heavy(er)....looks huge in the garage. It became MY Gold Wing. Didn't....well mostly didn't know it at the time but it was exactly what I'd been looking for. Enjoy that Honda!

Grazie molto. Stai bene e guida in sicurezza.

@mikemills5144 I found that with the 1200 and many BMW airheads. No problem with this one though. Yours must be enormous 😁.

@nick949eldo just a size 12 but I kept hitting the brake or the kickstand.

The camera always makes it look faster than it is. Check the speedo - I'm dribbling alone. Glad you're enjoying the book - many thanks. 😃

Thanks Phil. It's always just for fun. I like the bike. I like the challenge.

Thanks Dewayne. Battery already replaced 😄

Too bad about the bike and deer but glad you're safe. Yes, I'm enjoying the reverse too. Lets me reverse into the garage instead of dog-paddling. Stay well. Ride safely.
