Hey Jason, while recovering, you can find my report on Newfoundland in the Great Rides section. I've never been to any other part of Canada, but I sure did like Newfoundland.
Again, I hope you are back on the ride soon. Where can we see all the photos of your trip you've taken so far?
I may be back on the road today, depending upon parts availability, tomorrow at the latest. Of course, I will still need to deal with the cosmetic damage when I get home to Vancouver.

That link has my photos broken down by date/topic. I started my vacation on 15 July, for the record.
I enjoyed your photos, and write up, I won't pretend that my pix are stellar but I will throw together a ride report after I get home.

I am back on the road today, Winnipeg to Regina. Had a bit of an anxiety attack when I went to pick up the bike. So much so, that I forgot to collect a $200 deposit that I had put down for the new tires I had ordered. I'll be calling them tomorrow about that.
Discovering issues that I'll need to discuss with a doctor when I get home. The bike will need a good dose of work too.
Cheers

It's running with 3 plugs, and surges like crazy at low RPMs. Other than that, it is doing okay. Needs cosmetics sorted, in due time. Coming due for its 50,000 service soon.
I needed new tires, so I had a set of Metzeler M3s installed, great handling, neutral, sticky tire - with 2" wide chicken strips
When the bike is sorted a bit more, I will be remedying the tire situation.
