We did make it to Labrador Highway. Pretty sure about that cause we don’t remember gravel. What a beautiful drive. Don’t miss those grated bridges. 😂😂yeah, you’re right about those moose along that stretch. Don’t see you driving a car very often. 😂😂. Gravel is hard to drive; especially on a bike.

I rode the Translab in 2019. It was ALL gravel and 389 in Quebec was the worst by far. I was on my Super Tenere and camping.. but I was then a youthful 66. I remember I nearly dumped once in a construction zone... Loose gravel about eight inches thick. Yeah, I was lucky but then again it rained the entire time. Still a true motorcycle adventure to Newfoundland.

Hello ! Thanks for watching ! The longest stretch with no stations is between El Rosario de Arriba and Guerrero Negro on Hwy 1 MX. It is about 360ish kms. The point to make sure of, that we wanted to point out. If a person filled up in Tjuana they would have lots of tank range at El Rosario but if they passed there thinking there is gas stations every 100 kms they could possibly run out at total kms from Tjuana and o Guerrero Negro would be around 700 kms. I know lots of people on motorcycles and lots of motorcycles only have a 400 kms tank range. Lots of cars and RVs have big ya k range, just need to make sure before heading south from El Rosario.
