Lowrider S

I was not too thrilled about the otherwise praised Lowrider ST model which I could test ride a year ago, but then I am just not the right guy for top heavy half fairings…

Newfoundland Road trip 2023

It was early August 2023; I had just barely made it out of Montreal on my flight as thunder and lighting storms surrounded the airport. I’ve never climbed that high, that fast in a plane, it felt more like a rocket ship. I arrived home in Nova Scotia late that night, but was able to get a good rest and sleep in. After a few loads of laundry, some packing, and a rear tire change on the Indian Challenger I was ready to hit the road. Cam rolled into the yard late afternoon on his Lowrider ST El Diablo. We tore out of there making tracks for North Sydney, Nova Scotia. It was around a 350KM ride. We had to take a backroad detour along the way to avoid a huge traffic delay that occurred regularly in Truro, Nova Scotia. After stopping for supper and then hitting some wet roads, we finally rolled into North Sydney just after dark. There, we were loaded onto a ferry that would take us across the gulf of St. Lawerence to the province of Newfoundland. The ferry set sail just before midnight and would dock on the rock just before 7AM. Being my 7th trip over to Newfoundland on my bike I didn’t find the ferry lounge chairs too bad, and with a little help I was able to sleep through the night.

We awoke just before the ferry reached the island to get some breakfast at the ferry cafeteria. A little fuel before a long day of riding. It would be just over 910KM to travel to our destination of St. John’s on the complete opposite side of the island. Some people say it’s a boring ride, but I’ve always enjoyed it. The landscape is constantly changing. From the Codroy Valley to the winding mountain roads around Corner Brook, through Terra Nova Park, and across the barrens as you cross the Avalon peninsula. The scenery is always changing, giving you something new to look at. You just have to stay alert and watch out for those damn moose.

The sun was shining, and the temperature was in the low 20’s. A perfect day for riding. We made good time, with 5 fuel stops, and a Mary Browns lunch break in Gander. We pulled into our Air BNB in downtown St. Johns around 7PM. The Air BNB was, well, it was interesting. I booked late this time so the spots I regularly stayed in were taken. For trips to Newfoundland its important to book early, or you get stuck with high prices or not so desirable accommodations. The location was right, and it was clean, but the place had that old musty grandma smell. Every room had floor to ceiling wallpaper, and I don’t think it had been renovated since the 60s or 70s.

The next day was calling for heavy rain, so once we got everything unpacked, we went to the grocery store to pick up some drinks and snacks. After that we decided to walk down to George Street for some late-night food, and of course a few drinks. George Street is one of my all-time favourite places to tie one on. You can’t beat the hospitality of Newfoundlanders. We got our food and did a little bar hopping until we wound up at my favourite spot: Christian’s Pub. A hole in the wall bar about the same size as a modern Canadian kitchen. It’s been my favourite spot for years, and its where I became an honorary Newfoundlander (kiss the Cod fish, do a shot of screech, and recite a rhyme). They even still have a cigarette vending machine on the back wall. Over the years I made good friends with the young guys who run the bar most nights, Robby, and Marshall. These guys are a great time, and we had a lot of fun there over the years. I wish I could go into more detail, I probably have enough to write a whole column on Christian’s pub alone. I’ll just leave you with “you had to be there.”. One thing is for sure, the drinks never stop flowing and the tunes are always on point. As Newfoundlanders say, “Best Kind”. You just never want to leave. When you do, you’re probably walking sideways like me and Cam were that night. We made it back to the BNB on foot and passed out around 3AM.

The next morning, we awoke with heavy heads, and to heavy rain showers. Luckily the two go hand in hand when you’re on a motorcycle road trip and you have time for a down day. So, we did just that, took the day off. We relaxed kicking back at the Air BNB. In the early afternoon we did end up dragging our asses into a cab and down to the Bagel Café (the best breakfast spot in town) for some brunch.

The morning of Day 4 we were well rested. The rain had stopped but it was still misting, and the road was wet. We suited up in our rain gear and hit the road for a day of riding. There were a couple loops around the Avalon peninsula that I had never ridden and wanted to check out in the next couple of days. Our first stop was of course a lighthouse, 1 of 5 we would visit on this trip. Lighthouses are one of the best destinations you can have when exploring by motorcycle in Atlantic Canada. The roads to get to them might be questionable in condition, but they provide some of the best twisty’s and coastal scenery. The best part is they are always at the end of the road, so you leave nothing unexplored.

The first lighthouse was Cape St. Francis just north of St. Johns in Biscayan Cove. The road turned to dirt a few Kilometers out. It got tighter and tighter until we came to a steep hill with washouts and large loose stone. Google maps told us we were about 800 meters away, so we parked our bikes and walked down. The road curved along a rocky hill to the lighthouse which was unique as it also served as a helicopter pad. We snapped a few pictures, enjoyed the scenery, then made the climb back up to our bikes. From there we headed to Portugal Cove, where we caught a quick 20-minute ferry over to Bell Island. My friend Gill who I had met just the year before in another part of Newfoundland now lived there through the summer with her boyfriend Curtis. Just off the ferry on the top of a hill she had a great view across the water. We enjoyed a few snacks and learned a lot about Bell Island. Basically, the whole island is undermined. Iron ore had been mined there extensively over the years. All shut down now, most of its residents (including Curtis) are cod fishermen.

We headed out and explored Grebes Nest, a cobbly beach in a very small, secluded cove with rock cliffs over 100 feet tall, accessible only by an old Iron ore mine tunnel. From there we went to check out the Bell Island lighthouse, and then enjoyed a big feed of local cod fish and chips at Dicks Fish and Chips.

After we said our goodbyes, we were waiting for the ferry to take us back to the main island when Cam noticed a problem with his kickstand, his bike seemed to be leaning over a lot more the usual. We did some wrenching and took it off right there on the wharf. Everything checked out, bolts were tight, and the bushings did not seem to be worn. Cam picked up a 2x4 there to jam under it while parked to help keep the bike level. Something he brought all the way back to Nova Scotia with him. We loaded our bikes back on to the decrepit old ferry, by this time the sky had cleared, and the sun was shining.

Back on the mainland, we followed the coastal road along Route 60, through Conception Bay, Holyrood, and Cupids Crossing. We finally hung a right and headed out on a sliver of land towards our third lighthouse of the day at Green Point. Now labelled a heritage lighthouse by the federal government it is well kept and has an amazing view. Time was ticking and we were getting close to riding in the dark, so we gathered up our thoughts and hit the road back to St. Johns, making it back just before dusk. I try my best to be off the road by dark when I’m traveling in Newfoundland. The moose are plentiful, and I’d rather not have one jump out in front of me.

Day 5 on our trip consisted of more exploring on the Avalon peninsula. After a quick stop at Rugged Rock Harley Davidson, we headed south down Route 10 along the Irish loop. Another beautiful ride where the road touched parts of the coast, and then cut straight through the barrens (lots of rock and no trees). We hung a right in Portugal Cove South and headed up this immaculately paved and vacant road to a place called the miniature fishermen, a display of miniature versions of all types of ships you can think of in a small cove. A local that lived nearby had put a lot of time into meticulously crafting these minis. We enjoyed the perfect road to its full potential on the ride back out, making a few passes at speed.

From there we continued around the loop, our next stop was 12KM off the main route down a fairly decent dirt road across the barrens to the coast. The Cape Pine lighthouse sits just in from the coastal cliffs about 300 feet from sea level. The only lighthouse that I’ve been to that was constructed of cast iron. Back when it was constructed in 1851, it cost the British government 6500 pounds.

We followed Route 90 back up the coast. A gas stop and a good lunch at a local store kept us going strong for the rest of the day. We decided to cut across Route 91, and then head south down Route 92 to Cape Saint Mary’s. Here, we would see our first moose, and the first live moose I had ever seen on Newfoundland while riding my motorcycle. Grazing in the ditch, they ran off quickly as we approached them.

Another 10KM off the main road (this one was a paved single lane) we arrived at Cape Saint Mary’s to check out our 5th and final lighthouse of the trip. Along with the lighthouse was a large parking lot with a building labelled Ecological Reserve. Alongside it was a group of ten individuals with the biggest cameras I had ever seen. They looked more like telescopes. As we walked up to the building, I asked one of the ladies what the big cameras were for. She looked at me in surprise and said, “We are here to see and photograph the Northern Gannet.” Not sure what that was I asked, “What’s a Gannet?” She replied in shock and awe, “You’re not here to see the birds!?”

We walked in the front door of what we discovered was a migratory bird museum. There, the curator asked if we were there to see the birds. “What birds?” I said. “The Northern Gannet, look out that giant window in the front, there are over 100,000 of them on that rock over there!” Said the curator. Wow, what a sight! “You can walk right over there in amongst them if you want to get shit on” said the curator, “That’s what’s going to happen to all those photographers from national geographics.” Me and Cam had a good laugh. We checked out the museum and walked out about halfway, staying far enough back not to get shit on.

Not soon after it was time to hustle as it was late in the afternoon. We finished the loop heading north up Route 100, along the windy coast. We wound up on a dirt road, having to backtrack a little before we found pavement again. We made it back to St. Johns again just as the sun set. Time for a bite, and one last visit to Christians Pub before we head back over to the west side of the rock tomorrow. Just one drink, that’s all. Just one.

Day 6 I woke up slightly hungover, but ready to blast to the west coast of the island. Our destination was Norris Point, a small community nestled in Gros Morne national park. I had stayed in Norris Point on every trip I had ever taken to Newfoundland and made some great friends there over the years. It was about a 700-kilometer day of backtracking the road we had came across the rock on. That was until we reached Deer Lake, where we turned north up Route 430 (The Viking Route).

Just up the road a few kilometers we entered Gros Morne national park, which has the best roads, and the best riding in the whole province. There are no potholes to dodge, and no bumps in the road. Just a pile of twistys, blind hills, and corners to navigate as you weave your way north. There’s lots to look at: mountains, rock faces, and the east arm of Bonne Bay. With breathtaking lookoffs just off the road it’s hard not to stop at all of them and take in the beautiful natural scenery. Definitely a must ride if you’re in Newfoundland on a motorcycle.

We stopped at one of my favourite spots, a lookoff at sea level at the base of Gros Morne on a long straight stretch parallel to the bay. You can see Norris Point from here, further across the harbour is the town of Woody Point, and beyond that is the Tableland mountains. We enjoyed some snacks and a beverage before riding the remainder of the road, a quick 15 minutes to our cottage in Norris Point.

Pulling into Out East BNB we were greeted by my good friends Jean and Milton, owners of the lovely property. After unpacking our stuff and getting situated, we noticed rain had started to fall. We had made reservations at a nearby restaurant. Jean was aware of the rain as well, and decided to lend us her car to drive over so we would not get soaked. The hospitality here is hands down amazing, and it’s a big reason why I keep coming back.

After we returned it was down to Terrys Shed to enjoy some drinks and a little smoke. I met Terry on my first trip to the rock in 2016, and my first stay at Out East BNB, which was originally Terrys BNB. The BNB at that time had just been purchased by Jean and Milton but still had Terry’s name on it. I was a bit lost and ended up down at the end of the lane at a shed. I noticed it had a motorcycle in it, and another parked outside. When I poked my head in to ask for some directions, that’s when I met Terry, and I’ve been visiting him on every trip in his iconic shed ever since.

Day 7 was our last day on the rock. We packed up our bikes at the cabin and enjoyed a wonderful breakfast that Jean had cooked for us. From there, we headed south back down Route 430 until we reached the turnoff for Route 431: a road through the mountains and along some rivers to the opposite side of Bonne Bay, which was home to the villages of Woody Point, Trout River, and the Tablelands Park. Another fantastic ride.

I really wanted to take Cam over to see the Tablelands. The Tableland mountains are a very unique place. The rock that forms them are red in color and they are highly acidic, so much so that little to no plant life grows on them. This is because it is part of the earths mantle that has pushed up through the crust.

Across the valley is another mountain that is lush and green. The road runs along the valley floor below perfectly splitting the two scenes. You look to one side, and you feel like you’re riding on mars; look the other way and it’s life on earth. Before we left, we visited the interpretation center there, and each got a sticker for the inside of our saddlebags.

From there we headed to Steady Brook, and a ski hill called Marble Mountain, which was just off the Trans Canada highway. I had gotten into some ziplining adventures earlier on this summer, and there was one here that I really wanted to check out. Nine ziplines back and forth across the mountain, and over top of Steady Brook waterfalls, which would take about an hour to complete. We lucked out as it was calling for rain all day, so we were the only two on the tour with the two guides, a couple guys from college. What a blast, what a thrill!

Afterwards we grabbed a quick meal in Corner Brook and headed for the overnight ferry in Port-aux-Basques. There was a slight delay due to high winds the last few days. It was raining hard by the time we were loaded up onto the ferry. After we got situated, it was lights out for me.

Day 8 we floated into North Sydney, Nova Scotia somewhat rested, and ready for the ride home. Rain or shine, from this point its always hammer down to get home, get unpacked, and give the bike a much-needed wash. Until next year Newfoundland!

St. Croix Day 21: Part 2

We began the day with a zoom meeting with Tina Henle, a long time resident of the island of St. Croix. Although an artist herself, Tina began her story with the history of both her father, Fritz, and her sister, Maria. Fritz Henle was a famous photographer, and fled Nazi Germany in the 1940s. He ended up on the beautiful island of St. Croix when a photoshoot to Venezuela was canceled due to conflict, and the “fruit basket of the Caribbean” was suggested instead. Maria Henle was raised on the island with her sister, where favorite medium was etching, which involved scraping down the layers of metal and adding paint to the varying depths. Working in New York City and Italy, Maria was able to find inspiration in everything. Tina’s work resembled more of her father, as she also chose the medium of photography. He gave her a camera and told her to capture a real moment, only when everything was perfect. Her first influential piece was a photograph of a pilgrimage of people over sand dunes, and she continued that passion of photographing authenticity throughout her life. She took pictures of rice farmers in Bali, lowriders in Albuquerque, and locals in St.Croix. She continues to work in photography, as a destination wedding photographer based in Florida. She possessed such a creative and artistic family, and it was really amazing to learn about how the Crucian culture that they accidentally stumbled upon had influenced their lives.

Afterwards, groups continued work on their sustainability projects. Caroline and I were able to complete the majority of our powerpoint on implementing biodegradable plasticware and have begun working on both our executive summary and infographic.

In the afternoon, we went to Cane Bay, where there was a great reef to go snorkeling and a cozy beach for relaxing. For dinner, we went to Ital in Paradise, a vegetarian restaurant in Christiansted. I ordered the chickpea and tofu meal, which also happened to be both vegan and gluten free. Overall, it was a great day filled with both lots of learning and sun!

Keith Corona is a South Austin hip hop legend. A leader in all that he does, Keith has been on the cutting edge of the visuals game for as long as I can remember. You have got to check out his YouTube page where you will find all sorts of dope music videos, many of which were filmed in Mexico where he resides for part of every year. He is back in Austin for the moment so I got to sit down with him and talk all sorts of stuff. Namely my wish to live in Mexico as well and how he made his way down there, and why he comes back every year. I'm literally jealous of this mans life. (though I would probably just chill down there full time if I could, and closer to some water. Listen and you will know what I'm talm bout.) In this episode we learn how he got to South Austin and how South Austin is an entity in and of itself. I school him a bit on some late 80's/early 90's rappers from South Austin, who are the main dudes who got me to start coming to Austin back in those days from Houston. (#RIPCROPDIGGIE) And he reminds me of a whole lot of dope artists and events that we have experienced living here in the Live Music Capital of the World.

These days Keith is rapping mostly en Espanol so we talk a lot about how I want to see him tour the Spanish speaking world, as he definitely has the skills and the drive to make it happen. I predict big things for my man right here and I am so glad that we got a chance to sit down. As always tell a friend to tell a friend to check out Talk So Real with Matt Sonzala and read below for info on a dope event he will be performing at this weekend!
