At the national in lake george some folks talked of heading east to Cape Breton next summer as a group. Here is a short vid from Harley with a few shots of the Cabot trail as a teaser. Click on maritime ride then the 3rd video.

I think it would make for a great event. Riding the Cabot Trail is just plain spectacular, and it would be nice to do it with someone who really knows the area.

Sue and I are in, and I'm pretty certain that Michael and Shanna would be in as well.

**Top Cat** · 07-25-2017, 03:08 PM

Cindy and I would be up for it also.
She would need a set date ahead of time to get the needed time of of course.

I think Tim and myself need several days head start. If I don't get another bike well will be trailering.

**Top Cat** · 07-25-2017, 04:36 PM

I planned a trip out there a couple years ago when Cindy expressed an interest in going there someday.
2600 miles round trip, hell we went 5000 on our trip to Colorado.
I had my Nomad and she had her 750 Honda Shadow.

What is wrong with your bike Larry?

Mary and I are in. The tough part is having to wait a year to go!

There is another green briefs rider living down that way, oh Patroit where are you

The Cabot Trail would be an excellent ride, its absolutely beautiful there, Its a ride Ive always wanted to do on the bike. If I'm able I'll try to make that one next season.

I'm sure we can figure out a date that works for all well in advance. I'll have to check my work schedule too.

I don't think I lost more than a couple of ounces of oil from that seal. When we got home I was a quart low

. Its been using some oil before the rally. It has 74,+++ miles on it.

You need to put some kind of adhesive on that seal next time it comes out.
74,000 miles on a Nomad is not that much. I had 88,000 on my 07 and have 54,000 on my 08. You could buy my 08

I'm sure it would make the trip with no problem.
Or maybe a nice Victory would be good

Carry some oil with you and Check it a few times during the trip. As for the seal, as Tim says glue it in. 3m 5200 is what I would use. It is a high performance sealant glue far superior to silicone sealant.

Been quite awhile since we've seen you at a rally Steve, would be great to see you. When we get into discussions about dates let us know what would work for you. Only concern other than best time for best weather is last week of July, 1st week of August is construction holiday for Quebec. Not the best time for the trip as a good part of the Quebec population is on holidays and head out in all directions.

I was going to ask you what the name of that sealant was. and like Amin said get a new seal just incase.
