Dawn to Dusk in New Brunswick

lockie · September 17th, 2012, 06:41 PM

From the Canadian Motorcycle Guide web-zine.

CMG’s 2012 Dawn til Dusk rally ran on Saturday, starting and ending at Toys for Big Boys in Moncton, and a good time was had by all.
The rally (for motorcycles 250 cc and less covered about 600 kms of New Brunswick back roads in about 12 hours. We had several new riders this year, and most folks returned from last year (the only rider who wasn’t back didn’t have a 250 to ride).

As always, there were a few hiccups along the way; in a repeat of last year’s performance, Editor ‘Arris ran out of gas, and several riders were lost … repeatedly. But everyone finished on time, and nobody was hurt. Except, maybe, for their backsides. A twelve-hour day is a pretty long haul on a 250.

We’ll have a full write-up of the rally soon. Until then, we’d just like to send a thanks to Larry Northrup and the crew from Toys for Big Boys, who helped out with logistics and also provided several machines to ride. We appreciate the help!

That was the best moment of it

2 ninja's still with a lot of fuel and that dual sport bike without any fuel anymore.

Was a fun ride for sure.

P.S : This is Mathieu, the other guy with a ninja the same color as you

Such are the trade-offs for the ability to go places in straight lines, road or not.

Wish I had a passport. Sounds like a nice ride.
