Produktbeschreibung

...In the trucker magazine article a photo caption described the 389 as "some of the most grueling road in North America". In the text the scenery is described as "rugged and mountainous"..." the majority of the vegetation is made up of stunted black spruce trees."...There are about 800 kilometers of dirt roads, 555 of which is the TLH between Labrador City and Goose Bay, opened in 1992. The (air brake) lines running under the trucks have to be covered with rubber tubing or holes will develop after several trips due to the sandblasting with rocks and dirt. "The Trans Labrador Highway is the epitomy of a dirt road, covered with sand, deep mud and jagged bedrock."

My local BMW mechanic heard of the TLH too. He knew a rider who tried it and broke his Beemer's frame in the attempt.

These warnings were too late. By this time the vacation was only a few weeks away and there was simply nowhwere else that appealed to me. For the annual pilgramige, I had to go somewhere. So I went.
