Hey Sean
How's the visa going? Did you get it? I have a few 750 buds that will probably be interested in riding up to meet up with you in Maine.
BTW my mum was born off the coast of Rockland Maine, just south from Belfast, on Vinalhaven. Be sure to plan to stop in Camden(old seaport fishing village from the early 1800s that still has some sail ships based there) Rockland is another great coast road stop.

Edit, I do have a lift, tools and a bed if needed as well as spare parts.

Sean…. I am located in southern Ontario, Canada, N.E. of Toronto. Not sure how you will be travelling in Ontario, but I will send you a pm with my contact info. I have a good workshop, with several cb750s and lots of parts. If you feel you need a “maintenance day” please plan a visit and a stay at our farm. I’m retired, so any date works for me! Good luck planning and traveling! John D.

Hey Sean,

I organized and managed the 2011 SOHC4 World Tour. http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php/board,125.0.html

If I can be of assistance please reach out. PM or email my links would be more direct as I will be traveling to different areas of the world until May or so. I am based in Colorado. You have a bedroom and garage if you're traveling west through this beautiful part of the country. I've traveled extensively by bike through western US and Canada plus most of the States and can provide detailed info on many roads and places keeping you on the best roads and off the Interstate highways. I'll trade you that info for Irish info so I may learn more of the Irish heritage of my Great grandfather's country over a few pints.

Isn't retirement great  ;D
