Just gorgeous scenery 😉👍

[@KazoMoto]

Great scenery. Amazing roads. Thankyou for sharing

[@MotoGiant]

this ride reminds me of the Big Island of Hawaii - very unique coastline

[@westcoast01letsride]

Cool road, nice ocean view.

[@stacyrector8515]

Beautiful drive!! Thanks for sharing.💜

[@OldGuyonaBike]

It is one of those iconic rides... everyone should do it at least once. Thanks for coming along.

[@roadtripper5553]

All I can say is wow looks like the upper peninsula in Michigan beautiful

[@garysbackroadadventures]

Definitely some great camping in that part of the world.

[@toslow9045]

really enjoying this ride along. thanks

[@603Rydes]

What an amazing road! Roads like this is where a 360 camera works wonders.

[@OldGuyonaBike]

Not totally sold on them. Maybe this year at sometime.

[@lloydmoore3344]

Wow the views on this video are awesome!! Makes me want to ride! Great work. Thanks

[@OldGuyonaBike]

The editing made me want to get out on the road too... and snowing again here today.

[@hoagiesherlin7732]

Spectacular!!!

[@gailfillmore6391]

great video thanks for sharing the ride was awesome take care

[@OldGuyonaBike]

Thanks for jooining me on the ride.

[@SHHHMotoTravels]

Beautiful road ! We did the trail counter-clockwise this year. Not enough time to do both directions so I was glad to see your view here !

[@OldGuyonaBike]

It is a good ride... gets over too fast though in either direction.

[@goldwingmoments]

Great video but you mess me up by going CW. I have rode the Cabot Trail two times going CCW. You gave me another view for sure. Now I have to give that a try. Looks like a 2023 trip! Take care.

[@OldGuyonaBike]

I actually think that counter clockwise is the best if you are only going to get one crack at it. Done it both ways many times. Do it in 2023!

[@richardmourdock2719]

The images do speak for themselves. The Cabot Trail is remarkable. I'd be feeling better about the video though, knowing that bolt has been fixed. Still have the image of the trailer leaving you playing on the screen in my head.

[@OldGuyonaBike]

But you have the knowledge that I made it through the 106 days safely. There will be much more about the bolt and hitch over the following 3 - 4 weeks of travel.

[@DeadNought]

I haven't done clockwise in years - I think I need to do it again that direction. Rusty Anchor - one of the many places I haven't stopped at ......yet.

[@OldGuyonaBike]

Since I usually do it on my way to the ferry, clockwise is my most time efficient direction. Only once in a while I do it after getting off the ferry. I'll have to do it counter clockwise next year just to remember what that direction looks like. The Rusty Anchor is a favourite stop of mine.

[@HarleysDinersRides]

Love the Cabot Trail, we also did the trail counterclockwise. a must-ride for any motorcyclist enthusiast.

[@OldGuyonaBike]

Have you done Newfoundland?

[@HarleysDinersRides]

@@OldGuyonaBike just a little rode to Stjohn and back across the island

[@OldGuyonaBike]

@@HarleysDinersRides You need to spend at least 2 weeks here to do the island justice.

[@codraven57]

@@OldGuyonaBike famous mistake of most people is to go to NL with only 4-5 days to tour, that's not doing it justice as you say JIM. 2week min or wait until you have that time to tour..............just my 2 cents worth.

[@OldGuyonaBike]

@@codraven57 Two week mnimum!

[@yaitsred]

I do enjoy the Cabot trail no matter what direction

[@OldGuyonaBike]

Yes and one can always trun around and repeat... it's not that long of a ride.

[@yaitsred]

@@OldGuyonaBike that’s what we did on the Sunday before boarding the midnight ferry to Newfoundland. ;)

[@BIMMERGUYRICH]

I will be riding the Cabot Trail this summer, any words of wisdom or recommendations.

[@OldGuyonaBike]

Do it both ways. Go up the west coast and stop at the Glenora Distillery near Mabou for a tour and a taste. Are you camping or looking for motels? Are you going to have a few days? I always tell people to go to the Fortress of Louisbourg. Feel free to email me at my new email [e-mail]

[@kevinmatthews365]

Are you on st-owners forum? Former 2005 ST owner myself but on a FJR for a decade now. Heading to Cabot trail in a week.

[@OldGuyonaBike]

I'm not as active on ST owners these days. Out in Montana at the moment.

[@jamesdwyer6701]

I think clockwise gives you the best views

[@OldGuyonaBike]

I think one needs to do it both ways. The switchbacks are much better going downhill counter clockwise... and I think the next section in the mountains is better that way too. It's great either way but one should do both if they can.

[@brianfromnh2596]

Loose nut, umm. On the bike or behind the throttle?

[@OldGuyonaBike]

Seeing that I fixed it with an SAE nut on a metric bolt, It might be the nut with the throttle in his hand. You do what you have to do.

[@brianfromnh2596]

@@OldGuyonaBike I hope it wasn't a HD SAE nut! The ST may have heart failure :) I agree you do what works:)

[@OldGuyonaBike]

@@brianfromnh2596 I know I have no HD nuts in my kit. I had double nutted the coupler on the trailer so I stole one of them. (two bolts/4 nuts). 3/8" nut from the trailer almost fits 10 mm bolt on the bike but the threads are slightly off. Reef'er down hard and it's not going anywhere. At least I don't think so... time and video will tell.

[@susandamon6180]

You used to have such good videos about camping. Please include times when you are in your camper and cooking. Just road shots of you driving down the road are getting quite boring.

[@OldGuyonaBike]

This series will have a lot of the journey but I do promise there are more in camp videos coming up as I got into the rhythm of this trip.
