This trip to the shore of James Bay started as an idea discussed while at work. Sylvain and I worked together, have the same motorcycles and we agreed that we should do a trip together some time in 2008. Due to a lot of circumstances including me ...

Summary
The trip was a great time. We were able to escape the very bad weather that covered Eastern Canada most of the time while we were "up north" enjoying heat and sunshine. The experience of riding the Route du Nord was exceptional as we were able to ...
