It’s got to be an adventure it’s got to be a challenge.”Ī lot of that challenge is going to come from the choice of vehicle. A black bear ran out in front of me, and I crashed. “I’m ¾ of an inch shorter because of an ATC crash in Fort St.
In fact, they were essentially banned from manufacture in 1988. Numerous riders flipped and crashed them in various ways with sometimes fatal results.

I’ll be prepared for everything.If I blow it up, I’ll have the parts to do the work.” “I’m a bit of a backyard mechanic and I’m A-OK with being outside. Part of that preparation is hauling a trailer with the parts, tools, and camping gear he might need. He expects that the 1984 Honda 200 ES, the model was also known as the Big Red, will likely need some trail-side maintenance and TLC to get it from west to east. “I have a three-week time frame, I want to go the longest distance,” Webb said if they’ll let him ride across Confederation Bridge and then go to Newfoundland to ride there as well. along the Trans-Canada Trail, roads, and other routes all the way across every province, including P.E.I. This long-distance ride has also been a bucket-list item for Webb and following the one-year anniversary of his friend’s accident, he decided the time was right. It’s also a fundraising effort for the Bikers Down Society and a Guiness World Record attempt for the longest ride on a three-wheeler as well, if he can get the Guinness people to sign off on it. It's a way to honour the memory of his friend Anthony Morgan who died in a motorcycle crash near Halifax more than a year ago. (Webb is the campground owner, so it’s a logical destination.) The Trenton native is in the planning stages of riding an old Honda ATC (all-terrain cycle) from the British Columbia community of 100 Mile House all way to Sunset Inlet Campground at Head of Chezzetcook, Nova Scotia. – It’s a challenge that most people wouldn’t consider, but that’s not stopping Matthew Webb.
