Had my first long ride on my new-to-me 2006 Girly. Left home at 0730 for an 0800 rendezvous. Total of three bikes one of who was our local Triumph/Ducati/Suzuki dealer.
I was on the Girly, Alex (the dealership owner) on a Multistrada, and a third chap on and SV650. So the full brand representation of the dealership was on hand.
First time I made this ride, all in for me about 180 miles. Managed 48 mpg. Very, very happy with my new girl. The roads were not slab-smooth by any stretch, all blacktop much used by logging trucks so lots of ruts and wallows which would have been a killer on my old Bonnie.
Not sure if this will work but this is the approximate route: https://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=2890+West+Shore+Parkway,Langford,+BC+V9B+0B2,+Canada&daddr=Jordan+River,+BC,+Canada+to:Port+Renfrew,+BC,+Canada+to:Cowichan+Lake,+Cowichan+Valley,+BC,+Canada+to:Duncan,+BC,+Canada+to:Savage+Cycles,+2956+W+Shore+Pkwy,+Victoria,+BC,+Canada&geocode=CZxWDzoKn_BnFTll4wIdmvKi-ClrkUZedw2PVDE6hsSrxm35Rg%3B%3B%3B%3B%3B&sll=48.456153,-123.538889&sspn=0.004433,0.010986&hl=en
Yup that works :hat10 that coast route looks very entertaining, a lot more so than the "port" of Renfrew in my part of the world.
