Cape Breton and Nova Scotia
Do any forum members live in the Maritimes ? We just had a great 10 day trip to New Brunswick, PEI, Cape Breton and Nova Scotia.
Cape Breton is a motorcyclists dream. Twisty roads, great scenery and the people are very welcoming and friendly. We had a great time. ![]() Login or Register to Remove Ads |

Hey RJ.
Yup, I live in NS 'bout 4 hour ride from the causeway. You're right about the roads, went 'round a couple years ago. I missed out on a trip last week, a bunch I hang around with went 'round the trail. My hands are getting sore and I can't grip the bars. Hoping against hope it's not permanent, if it is...... :-(.............Mike

4 hours from the causeway, you must be down near Mahone Bay, or even further west ? We went to Hopewell Rocks, Halifax, Advocate Bay and Peggy's Cove. Next time I would fly to Sydney and stay on Cape Breton for a week. We had some excellent B&B's and one I would definitely not go to again near the causeway in Port Hawkesbury. |

Ive been to Cape Breton years ago, but in a motorhome, its unbelievably beautiful driving along the coast. I want to go back and do it on the bike one day soon. Its worth the trip just for the fresh sea food you can enjoy there.

I was in a car as the wife was with me and does not go on the bike anymore.
We flew to Moncton and rented a car. Stayed 3 nights in Moncton, then Pictou, Port Hawkesbury, Cape North and lastly Truro. There were lots of bikes in the area, mostly Harleys with guys from the U.S. |

I had fish and chips 4 times, seafood pasta, a lobster roll, and a halibut dinner.
We stayed in B&B's so we had a cooked breakfast every morning and dined out every night. I put on 7 lbs in 10 days ! |

We passed close by you on the way to Halifax last Wednesday. We stayed 2 nights in a B&B in Truro. Nice place and we could walk to the local restaurants on Prince St.
