my friend,baldy,and i just got back to the toronto area after a tour of the maritimes.we trailered our bikes to cape spear NB.and rode the northumberland shore to the sydney ferry. hwy 4 had some shitty spots but we survived.continued on to the viking village and experienced cool temps....only 13 that day. made our way back to sydney and the cabot trail and on to digby.a bit bummed that we planned poorly and had to stay 80 kms out so we only got to do 1 day of the wharf rat. and spent that fixing a breakdown.thanks to shawn wallace and jeff for parts and tools. then it was on to pictou and charlottetown.the charlottetown harley clubs mechanic"mackie"helped out with another breakdown.the trip was well worth it and i am planning to go again to see the stuff do the rides i missed. i found your guide very helpful and informative and detailed.however we found an interesting old biker on rte#475 outside bouctouche.he is a self taught wood carver,a little bit born again, but he has a very interesting story.his shop is built to look like a pirate ship and the toonie tour is quite excellent. a tv crew is doing a special on him. maybe you mention him as an attraction on 475 before the dunes. he calls himself 'WOOD CHUCK and everybody in the area knows him.
