triplets - my 77' RD, my buddy Alix's 78' RD, Alix's 79' RD Daytona project

[ben swift]

is that Daytona's rear end longer or is it just the angle?

[dspring]

Good eye Ben, he actually mounted a Cal-Fab drag swingarm off a cbr on the Daytona, so it is longer and sits higher, he also put Renthal bars on it for a flat tracker look

We riding up from Albany to Montreal then Quebec City, and back home through Vermont. Anyone have any advice about riding in Quebec?

Drive fast... Quebec drivers are speed demons... they are actually not bad drivers, but they like to speed, and brush up on your French, all road signs are French only (and most business signs).

Have fun in both cities... both are alot of fun...

The Plante family is from Île d'Orléans (back to the 1600s), and some are still there; bought a Berlitz French course to learn some basics. Been to Montreal before but not on the bikes. Hope the weather is nice in July.

better buy a Berlitz Quebecois French book... they speak a different language... basically 18th Century French and their own words as it progressed...

[Plantweed]

Do they even make one? From what I understand, it's about equivalent to the British/American separation in English, so it should be OK. I'm only learning basics anyway, for now.

It's more like speaking Shakespearean English vs. Modern English... you'll be fine... it's just different... you'll get by using English too... everyone speaks English as long as you are polite

Ugh... super rainy ride home tonight and then I find out someone parked directly in front of my storage unit when I got there... FUCKER
