I'm in Halifax Nova Scotia till about Christmas, and I'm kickin myself in the azz for not bringing my Buell with me. First of all, the weather has been gorgeous here, mid 40's and 50's. Was 60 today, though raining. I've seen two XB's here this week. Was shocked, as I was up here last year for 6 months and didn't see any! Curious if these are "Badweb Bikers" that I've spotted. Pretty cool Buell sightings either way. PT | ||

Rode Nova Scotia this summer. I would ride there every year if I could. A beautiful province indeed. Definitely Uly territory. | ||

It is a Gorgeous province. I love it up here. I'd love to ride it one day. Hell, I'd move here if I could find work here. I'll have to settle with my current company sending me up here from time to time. Though, I believe this will be the last. And yea, a Uly would do well here. Mostly paved roads, but they're pretty rough. And this time of year, the plug in clothing would come in handy. | ||

HEy Guys, Glad to hear ya all like the province, yeah roads are rough in areas, no question about that, However there are others that are as good as all...Lots to see, theres probally IF you could get all together about 11 buells right around this area I wd. say, Never ever really saw more than 5 or 6 together at any given time though, Yeah weather nice for this time of year here, Hogs here in Hfx. Gotta run Later... | ||

And there's the Cabot trail in Nova Scotia. A very nice road. Here's links to some pictures: http://www.pbase.com/golfpic/image/24347985 http://www.pbase.com/golfpic/image/23404222 http://listingsca.com/common/gallery/3-0029.asp | ||

Welcome to Halifax Ponytail! Make sure you bring your bike next time though. It's been a real nice fall here, I'm still riding my 9R almost daily. Mine's blue with a race pipe, say hi if you see me around. BTW you'll hear Hogs before you see him...he'll be on the black 12R with the Force pipe screaming at redline! LOL | ||

Thanks for the info there Dean... Sounds interesting to say the least...Have to keep on top off that for next year, Cool... | ||
| Nsbuell |
That sounds very cool. I'm booking time from work now. The Isle of Man races are amazing to watch on TV so a real life road race would be that much better to see. ....it's a long way down if you over shoot a corner on the Cabot Trail though... | ||

>>>>>....it's a long way down if you over shoot a corner on the Cabot Trail though...<<<<< I was thinking the same thing LOL. Man, I still miss the fish and chips up there. |
