Thanks Skychaser. We loved Nova Scotia, it was a beautiful place to ride around. The only complaint we had was all the potholes on the minor roads, it was hard to look at the wonderful scenery while focusing on avoiding the huge holes in the roads! 😅
Sorry for your loss. Mike seemed like a very good friend. You did a tremendous job putting this tribute together. These types of trips we all dream of doing.
Very nice tribute Mengy! for 20 years I rode a VTX1800, never a moment's trouble with it. Glad y'all found a solution. You can sure see how your brother is your brother... What a fun trip, just three guys. Great memories.
It's crazy how life flies by us all. Seems the older we get the more we reflect on the past and the people we have met along the way. I am 53 and people are starting to pass away too, loosing my Dad suddenly 4.5 years ago was very hard. Sundays would be the day he would Facetime me in Canada from the UK every week. Now Sundays always feel like something is missing...... Be safe out there everyone.
I know what you mean. All four of my uncles have passed in the past couple of years, it's strange not having any living uncles left. My dad passed about a decade ago. 😞
Sorry for your loss, but you have a great memory of your friend. My wife is from Nova Scotia and ive been traveling there every year for over 40 years. I will remember your friend and this video whenever I cross the border into NS.
Thanks for that Robert. You go to NS every year? That's awesome, I do want to go back again, it was a fun place to ride around with so much to see along the way.
Last year in August, my friend and I did 2,200 miles from Mass to NS. We did allot of backroads, following the coastline and staying off the highway when possible. The weather was mixed, Gortex jacket / rain pants with rain to mesh jacket and 85 degrees. I never get tired of the Cabot Trail. 😃 😊
Awesome tribute to Mike. Beautiful pictures and narration. Truly sorry for your loss. I admire the way you experience life on your motorcycle. I've been riding over 20 years and haven't done one meaningful destination trip yet. Though I put a lot of miles on my bike, they are local (in state) miles. Watching this has inspired me that I will be planning trips on my motorcycle to see all that I want to see. Because like you said, we think we have time, but you don't really know.
I've been telling you for decades Tom, time for you to do a long distance trip on the bike! Brad and I are planning to ride out to northern Idaho next year, I'll let you know when we have a date picked for it in case you want to come along! 😀
Excellent way to give tribute to your friend Mike. Video was good quality, with the old technology. Been a fan of yours for about a year. I steam RUclips on tv so never knew how to comment. Your tribute to your friend Mike made me find out. Keep up the excellent motovlogging!
Thanks. I was concerned this style of vid with mostly pictures wouldn't turn out so well, but it seems like I managed to pull it off better than I expected to. 😎
Sorry about the loss of your friend. Your video about your last adventure with him was very well done with the detail of the trip and collage of material gathered for it. I'm sure he he likes and appreciates it. Consider going on another road trip with the family and friends who still can and want to.
Sorry for the loss but awesome memorial, awesome memories. One of my regrets at this point in life, not taking enough of pictures. Always thought I was there why do I need pictures. Decades later I wish I had more than just a memory. Thanks for sharing. Well done.
Great, great video! Wonderful tribute Mike. RIP. Sorry for your loss. 😢 At one time Mt. Washington recorded the highest wind speed on record at over 200 mph. Did that ride with my wife in a BMW sidecar rig back in the late 80s.
Thanks Dogbone. It was very windy the day we were up there in this video, but I've also been to the top on days where it was very calm too. I've also tried to go up only to have the road up closed due to inclement weather, even in the middle of summer! Mt Washington is a beautiful but unpredictable place, I love it up there!
My two brothers and I did the Cabot Trail last year right after the border reopened for US tourists. Stayed in Baddeck, NS before and after our ride. It was a bucket list trip for my eldest brother. We did the CAT ferry opposite of the way you did though. Great experience though. Ours was also a 3000 mile round trip journey. Definitely unforgettable!
Hi Mengy, I was looking at your Goldwing vlogs and came across this video. So sorry to hear about the passing of your pal. You did a great job on this tribute to Mike especially given the limited tech available at the time of your trip.
Wow WOW absolutely loved this trip down memory lane, bro!!! Was sooooo good to relive this trip after Mike passing away, thank you so much for sharing and making this, excellent job!!👍I had forgotten so much of the smaller details over the years! Crazy how young we all looked then Lmao!! Really felt great to see Mike smiling in these photos, will never forget how great a trip and how great a friend Mike was !!!!!!!!!!
Thanks bro! I admit I had forgotten much about this trip too, editing it up was quite the nostalgic trip down memory lane. It also took WAY longer than I thought it would! 😂
Isn'nt that great to remember a friend and all that stuff, which brought you together....... highly respect to your video! I'm working as a paramedic in Germany and i think, i really undestand you! Keep calm!
Am sorry for your loss mate. It is amazing that you have these memories and the footage of the trip to look back on... what an awesome trip it was too! There is never enough time, something we should all remember.
Thanks Hippo. I'm very glad I have the pics from this trip, it was quite the trip down memory lane putting this video together. Editing this up helped me say goodbye to my friend. 😔
Sorry for your lost my friend. Life is short. I to lost my riding buddy in 2000. I didn’t have any photos or videos together but I do miss him. We have to live life as if there is no tomorrow. Great job of putting this video together with such old footage. Thanks for sharing.
It’s actually a great story you did a wonderful job. (I don’t even know you or Mike but you made me cry) I’m so sorry for you loss 😢 and you’re right, sometimes we don’t have more time so do it now because we don’t know how much time we have. Cabot Trail is on my list to ride for next year. I’m 62 so need to do it now before I’m unable. Thanks for sharing this it truly was wonderful. Xena the Quad Cam Bikah from New England. ✌️
Having lived in Nova Scotia for many years you did an excellent job of covering all it's highlights. Your tribute to Mike was very moving.

Thanks, it is still today one of my most memorable bike trips. We winged half of it as we went along!

Huh, I've never made a comment on TV RUclips either, your comment is going to make me figure that out right now! 😅
Beautiful tribute. The pictures and video sure helped to show the great friendships. Always remember. Ride on....

Thanks Michael. I do go on a few multi-day bike trips every year, who knows when my time will be up...🤔
Nice tribute to ur friend and brother…. We have to take advantage of the times we spend together as brothers bcs God has not promised it to any of us…
The older I get the more I realize this, so true. 😞

Thanks. I used to take lots of pics on bike trips but I do less of that in recent times. It's something I need to get back to doing.
Great, great video! Wonderful tribute Mike. RIP. Sorry for your loss. 😢

That sounds awesome! I know they shut the CAT down for a few years but I'm glad to see it up and running again, it was a fun ride.

Nice job Mengy. RIP Mike. Mt Washington has a yearly auto and bicycle hill climb challenge. Of course run separately different days. Peace
Is the challenge like a race up the mountain? Because NO WAY would I want to race up that road!!! 😬
@@MotoMengy
Yes. A time trial. Fastest time wins. Also same events on Mt Evans and Pikes Peak in Colorado. Woohoo!
Isn'nt that great to remember a friend and all that stuff, which brought you together....... highly respect to your video!
I'm working as a paramedic in Germany and i think, i really undestand you! Keep calm!
Danke Jurgen. Thank you for your paramedic service. 👍
So sorry about your friend. What a great memorial. One could only hope to be rememmberd so fondly. Stay well my friend.
Thanks Minnow. Mike will definitely be remembered, he's a hard guy to forget. 😞
Good job Babe. So sorry I can't take uour pain. The video is well done. ❤
Thanks, but I give you enough pain my Dear! 😁
Sorry for your loss, Mengy - but what a great tribute to your friend! That's a set of memories you'll never lose!
Thanks RR, the only way I'll lose these memories is if I lose my mind (even more than I already have at least)! 😎
@@MotoMengy well... now that you mention it...
You can't lose those memories, because they're on the Internet! :D
Am sorry for your loss mate. It is amazing that you have these memories and the footage of the trip to look back on... what an awesome trip it was too!
There is never enough time, something we should all remember.

Sorry for your loss. Its strange how we don't have many pics or vids from times before the digital age, at least not like we do today. 😞
It’s actually a great story you did a wonderful job. (I don’t even know you or Mike but you made me cry) I’m so sorry for you loss 😢 and you’re right, sometimes we don’t have more time so do it now because we don’t know how much time we have. Cabot Trail is on my list to ride for next year. I’m 62 so need to do it now before I’m unable.
