Excellent as usual, Nick. I miss my California II auto. Watching your videos, makes me think that a Quota with a convert drive train, if its possible to do, would be a cool fire road bike!

That would definitely be an interesting bike. Perhaps someone has done it already??

     Hey Nick,     I had to wait until I got out of my Xplornet, end of the month bandwidth purgatory, before I could watch your video,  :rolleyes: but it was well worth the wait,very well done! :thumb:

     I've been on that Maberly/Plevna/Denbigh/Bancroft part of your route, haven't been on the other roads on your tour yet, but they are already on my to do list.

     I still keep a loose eye out for Converts, there's one just north of Cornwall right now for sale, not sure if it's the same bike, but the mileage and the price are quite a bit higher than the $500 barn find I turned down in Alexandria a few years ago,  :violent1:  :cry:

     I love hearing your real world impressions and opinions on your bikes, and look forward to your thoughts on other motorcycles.

     Thanks for sharing, take care and stay safe

Thanks Kelly, I sent you a PM regarding a Convert.  It looks like nice weather for the next few days. Perhaps you'll have a chance to get out for a spin.
