The next morning we had to wait for the dealers to fix the bike. By the time they had finished it was nearly mid day, by all accounts we had some loose spokes that may have caused the punctures.. It is nice to know what the cause was, my first attempt to change a tire in the field. even though it wasn't successful it confirmed to me it possible and I learnt a lot from the attempts.
After driving around the little town for a few KMs to ensure we didn't get another flat in the middle of the bush.It was after 1pm by the time we hit the road properly.
We headed on route to rendezvous with Joe and Flora, riding through heavy rain again it was still nice to be on the road with no issues. The terrain became more interesting lots of little lakes and winding roads kept us engaged.
That evening we calculated our time left for the trip and the possibility of catching up with our friends. After much discussion we came to an executive decision to; not do the Trans- Labrador Trail with Joe and Flora. Time was against us, and it meant doing big'ish distances and full on adventure style riding just when we are at our most tired. After three months on the road its important to match your challenge levels to your energy levels. So we made the call to the guys to make our apologies, Joe and Flora are on tight filming schedules and they understood our Holiday schedule didn't really match. Joe and Flora we shall meet up again I'm sure, Good Luck, remember Great Britain needs a motorcycle film too.
We head south now through Ontario with the goals to take it easy see, the Niagara Falls and possibly do some fishing ( one of the things we said we do).
After a few days hiding out from torrential thunderstorms and our addiction for films suppressed we now head out on some ferries into the great lakes of Ontario.Island hopping.
More pictures to come...
