just returned from breaking in my 08 green.5k in 6 days 1/3 of it dirt. Loved it!! better on th slab then my 06 was however speedo is 10% optimistic. Fuel range 340kms /18 ltrs to reserve. Lab hwy awesome country and more awesome people. Like a lot of other rides not nearly as tough as a lot of the hype.

I'm ready to leave next week to do the lab highway. Actually we're doing the loop starting in southeast New-Brunswick, through Quebec, Labrador, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia and back home.  Should be a bit over 5000Km or 3100 miles.

Loaded the bike up yesterday for a test run.  Looks like everything is a go!!

I had intended to take the ferry around to Cartwright but is was iced in at Lewisport NF. So instead saw the lab hwy from the other direction, back to bae cameau (sorry cant spell) Then around gaspe bay then superslab home. On the 08 it needs another 4 inches of windshield to make a huge differance on the slab. Has anyone seen one yet.
