    Montreal - Yukon - Baja California and back: mototherapy on a Guzzi V7

    Days 14-27 - Tuesday August 13th - Thursday August 28th, 2019 - The Yukon The only stretch of this trip I felt a little uneasy about riding on a small-displacement, low-production Italian bike was between Grand Prairie and Whitehorse. There are no Guzzi dealers on this stretch, and almost no...

    Montreal - Yukon - Baja California and back: mototherapy on a Guzzi V7

    Day 13 - Monday August 12th, 2019 - Fort Nelson, AB The ride from Fort Nelson to Watson Lake was almost as beautiful as yesterday's from Fort St John. Although the Alaska highway is technically, well, a highway, it's curvy and dippy and climby enough in parts that you can have lots of fun at...

    Montreal - Yukon - Baja California and back: mototherapy on a Guzzi V7

    Day 12 - Sunday August 11th, 2019 - Fort Nelson, AB The impetus for this motorcycle trip was to visit two of my dearest friends who had moved together with their dog (who was best friends and almost-twins with my dog) from Montreal to Whitehorse. I hadn't seen them in almost a year, and had...

    Montreal - Yukon - Baja California and back: mototherapy on a Guzzi V7

    Day 11 - Saturday August 10th, 2019 - Grande Prairie, AB More straight roads, more flat prairieland. I wish we'd stop and look at ourselves for a second or two. Everything, everywhere is on Google Maps. Restaurants, hotels, lakes, national parks, trails, strip clubs. If something isn't on...

    Montreal - Yukon - Baja California and back: mototherapy on a Guzzi V7

    Day 10 - Friday August 9th, 2019 - Edmonton, AB The billboards slowly morphed from Monsanto and Farm Equipment manufacturers to Opioid addiction hotlines and car dealerships. There aren't many opportunities for fun motorcycles roads riding into Edmonton, especially coming from the East. I...

    2019 Night Pack LED headlight retrofit on 2018 V7?

    The new Night Pack for the 2019 V7 has a gorgeous headlight. Has anyone retrofit one on an older V7? I've been looking for LED headlight options for the V7; the motodemic is super expensive and not really my style; I'm wondering how much the new one would be from a dealer and how plug-and-play...

    Montreal - Yukon - Baja California and back: mototherapy on a Guzzi V7

    Days 8-9, Wednesday August 7th 2019 I used to live here. It feels like more than a lifetime ago; more like a dream I had a lifetime ago. I'd gotten engaged to an impossibly gorgeous Middle Eastern girl - think Kim Kardashian, except with a more bipedal body and her hotter sister's face - in...

    Montreal - Yukon - Baja California and back: mototherapy on a Guzzi V7

    Yeah I was actually warned about this by a few folks but didn't take it seriously. The vast majority of my time and encounters in the prairies was very positive. It just takes one bad apple though.

    Montreal - Yukon - Baja California and back: mototherapy on a Guzzi V7

    Day 7 - Tuesday August 6th, 2019 I've gotten traffic violations in the past. Not many, as I'm generally a pretty law-abiding citizen and my driving style is usually best described as "going to church with a tuna casserole on the passenger seat and a box full of easily-bruised puppies on the...

    Montreal - Yukon - Baja California and back: mototherapy on a Guzzi V7

    Day 6th - Monday August 5th 2019 (yes, I miscounted day numbers. Or time travelled). I've been planning shorter riding days. When I did my last big ride from Saskatoon to Mexico City, I was 7 years younger, 30 lbs lighter and on a bike with almost three times as many CCs. I'm trying to stick...

    Servicing recommendations on the West Coast?

    Thanks, Todd. I think I might need my basic 10k service (and a rear tire) before I hit your neck of the woods, but I'm thinking about some basic upgrades to the V7 (ie exhaust, fueling) while I'm in town there. I'll send a service request through the form once I have a better idea of when I'll...

    Montreal - Yukon - Baja California and back: mototherapy on a Guzzi V7

    Day 4 - Sunday, August 4th, 2019 This is another beautiful stretch of road dotted with creeks, lakes and rivers. Every rest stop is a photo opportunity, of the sort you'd find on a brochure to attract foreign tourists to Canada. I had originally only planned to ride to Dryden, but ended up...

    Montreal - Yukon - Baja California and back: mototherapy on a Guzzi V7

    Day 3 - Saturday, August 3rd, 2019 The 11 is a real nice road all the way from Quebec to Thunder Bay. The temperatures had been steadily rising and the gas prices had been steadily dropping as I got closer to Thunder Bay. This late in the season, I crossed lots of motorcyclists going in the...

    Servicing recommendations on the West Coast?

    I'm on a long ride and will be riding down from Vancouver to San Diego early / mid September. I'll be due for my 10,000km service (and probably both tires) around that time, as well as needing to get some minor repair work done (mostly cosmetic). I've heard good things about Chilliwack, Optimum...

    Montreal - Yukon - Baja California and back: mototherapy on a Guzzi V7

    Day 2 - Friday, August 2nd, 2019 As with most events in my life, any problems I've faced on this trip have been of my own making. The day before I left Montreal, I was staying at a friend's place reminiscing with some buddies about terrible 90s music. I had queued Quad City DJs - Ride the...

    Montreal - Yukon - Baja California and back: mototherapy on a Guzzi V7

    Day 2 - Thursday, August 1st, 2019 My couchsurfing host, Thomas, had to leave for work around 7:30am this morning, and didn't have a way to lock the door from the outside, so that means I had to leave at 7:30am this morning as well. Actually, I just brought all my gear out at that time; I took...

    Montreal - Yukon - Baja California and back: mototherapy on a Guzzi V7

    I'm reposting this from another forum I'm on, so as to not pull people away from this site. Day 1, Wednesday July 31st Two of my best friends moved from Montreal to Whitehorse a couple of years ago, and ever since then I've wanted to head up there and visit them. After a few months of going...
