I've ridden several of those areas already. Yarmouth, South Shore, Northumberland Shore, and obviously Cape Breton Island.

Nova Scotia is up there in my top 2 or 3 of places I've ever ridden. Absolutely amazing.

How far spread out are the small towns/gas stations?

In Cape Breton?

Well, it's been 2-1/2 years since I was there, but my recollection is that there was plenty of fuel available. I usually like to fill up the Busa around 175, but I can push to 220 if I have to on the reserve, and I don't recall ever being in a position where I was sweating running out. If you can make 100 miles between gas stops, I'd say you'll be just fine.

I've only had to invade my reserve against my will once, and that was in British Columbia. Leaving Prince George, BC heading for Calgary, I pushed 215 before I found a gas station that wasn't even on my GPS. This place was a little hole in the wall joint.

It is pretty disconcerting when you're beyond the 50% range on the tank and the GPS says the closest fuel is where you just came from.

It's even more disconcerting when you only get about 110 miles before the reserve light comes on. That's my biggest fear about this whole trip.

Even found a nice motorcycle theme B&B for $75 a night..

The one time I did a trip on my TLR, I rode to Florida from Oklahoma City. It averages about 120 before the reserve light comes on, so believe me, I know what you're saying there. I was stopping almost every time I passed a gas station just to be on the safe side.

Where is it at?

I didn't get a chance to do it before selling my R6. I need to get my shit together so I can get another bike and make that trip. I'm hoping to do it on a Yamaha Warrior.
