crossing Canada
My employer announced massive redundancies recently and I'm expecting to be one of them early next year. For some time I've been contemplating a huge trip and this is just 1 of my ideas........
Ship my bike from UK to Halifax, Nova Scotia
Ride across Canada (preferably nothern route of the great lakes) over to Vancouver Island were I have a friend who emigrated.
However, my question is regarding my bike: a Honda CBF1000 - I love it.
But it's definitely not an off-road bike & once loaded up, fairly heavy.
I'm 5' 2 and off road bikes are usually too tall. I've read the various posts on HUBB on similar issues but generally speaking, the ladies are riding with partners who share luggage or the bikes lack the power I prefer.
Regarding the type of roads I will encounter - will I be restricted to where I can go by taking it? Should I purchase something like the BMW F650 GS (800cc twin) ?
Thinking more long-term, the trip could be extended into America & then South America.
