Welcome - as others have said, there is plenty of good riding here, especially if you like empty roads.
Just make sure you do your licence transfer stuff straight away. Even though I have had a...

Hammock on the TLH
I used a hammock (Jungle Hammock) on my way up to Labrador City and had no trouble. The trees are indeed small, but if you're cunning it can be done. You don't need 300 foot Redwoods.
Once you...

The loose gravel they laid last year has now packed down to a reasonably good hard top. There is always the possibility of a bit of loose stuff in the corners, but generally its pretty good. The...

Clutch Rattle
Dry clutch - pull the lever in, it rattles bit. Perfectly normal. Varies from bike to bike. Don't worry. Even my 2007 Breva does it - if fact, its the loudest of the lot.

Old Guzzi
Guilty as charged. I saw you guys wave but in the moment, didn't recognize the bikes - sorry. I was riding my tan Eldorado without the fairing on the way back from breakfast in Brockvile.

Is it a runner? Doesn't look as though it needs any 'restoration' to me. Keep the patina. Just ride it - its what they're for!

Archaeology?
Good luck with that! Archaeology has been turning into a nonsense discipline run by bureaucrats and flabby thinkers for long enough without your help.
