Ride around old St.Johns (Newfoundland Canada) on a cb550
« on: October 28, 2012, 01:19:25 PM »
Quick ride around the old city (oldest city in north america) me on my 1975 cb550F with  few friends. First attempt to upload a ride video so I hope it works.

Good video.  St. John's is my favourite place to visit especially on a sunny day  :)

Glad to see that you made a stop on George Street (around 1:15 ); a street known for the most bars and pubs per square foot in North America   ;)  A view of the city from Signal Hill would have been a bonus.

Love to do a pub crawl through there, my doc who's from there say it's a truly impressive place for Pub's.

Nice vid looks like a great day for riding. The water views kinda remind me of Victoria, BC.

I only hang out with prairie transplants so they're all cool.

Me? A flatlander? Oh heck no! I'm just married to one but I turned her into mountain folk like me. We go visit her family in Saskatchewan in the summer. After 3 days I'm bored stiff and want to head for Banff and Jasper to finish out our vacation. I do love Canada and I have great in-laws I couldn't ask for a nicer family to be married in to..
