Ride report: Cross country in Canada again on a CBR125
Anybody camp on a Ninja? Mike posted another excellent "Minimal Touring" ride report from his annual camping trip around Canada on a CBR125R.

I don't know, he had it bumped up to 149cc, practically overpowered for a trip like that at that point.

I am thinking about doing some road trips before summer is over!
I am putting my bikes into nice condition and getting my motorcycle license at last! I am going to scope out some peoples camping getups on their 250s because I plan on taking mine. Ninjette touring! |

Hi Mike! Nice ride report! Thank you for sharing it.

That sounds like an epic ride. One of the "plans" (which may never go through) was to ride across the US to a friend in New Brunswick and then come back through Canada and just see the country. Figured that would be an awesome way to see the continent, especially if I could work it so where fall was just starting up there and catch up with it as I head south. I've officially been bitten by the long distance bug. Most of my rides over the weekend at 300-400 miles and I'm steady pushing that further by trying to come up with some great tours. I just get a kick out of the looks on people's faces when they realize our little bikes are fully capable of being excellent touring bikes.

But, if life ever presents the opportunity, I'll swing my route down your way to say howdy. I'm not so much a touristy type. I was maybe thinking going a 200 mile stretch, spending an hour wherever I ended up for touristy stuff, then back on the road to repeat in another 200 miles.

Just completed a ride report that involved sampling a 1987 Ninja 250. It was great! The trip covered almost 600 miles and involved an overnight stay. Ron (my riding buddy) used to own a ZZR250 as well. It's one of the few bikes that he wishes he could have back. You can read all about it here:

Great pics. Just 3 questions. Do you wheelie over the there crests? Do you skinny dip them there lakes? Why did you take a picture of a trash can?

They are the Ortlieb Dry Saddlebags - from Aerostitch. After using waterproof bags - I could never go back to rain covers.
