    Heh... motorcycling is fraught with MANY dangers any time of the year. Whether it be rain, blinding sun, bad drivers, or the conditions at this time of year. No one says you need to drop a knee in these conditions. If it scares you that much, maybe you should consider giving up riding entirely.

    Saw a guy on the 401 through Mississauga yesterday on some kind of cruiser. He didn't let the fact that he was riding a motorcycle in the winter prevent him from cutting from the right lane all the way to the left lane in one sweep without signaling causing a bunch of people to have to slam on their brakes to not kill him.

    Re: Who rode today?

    Today (2009-12-31 new years eve) around noon time, I saw someone riding in the Fairview mall area, looks like that biker was going onto hwy 404 or something like that. Didn't get a good look at the bike, looks like it could have been a touring or maybe a low cc sports bike, maybe a 250cc. I guess the riding season really never ends as long as the roads are good.

    Re: Who rode today?

    I just came back from a short half hour ride. There's a lot of snow from the snowplow at the base of my driveway so I kind of got stuck heading back into the garage but other than that it was nice to be out for a bit.

    Re: Who rode today?

    Sicnce it was so nice last night I commuted in to work today. 58 km each way. Roads aroun my house are slushy so you have to be a bit more careful but apart from that the biggest issue is the road spray messing up the faceshield.

    Re: Who rode today?

    I rode on Friday too. Finally was getting around to putting the bike away for the winter. However, it was nice enough to take it for a one hour spin before it went into hibernation. This is a record for me. My previous record for a last day of the season ride was December 31st about 4 years ago.

    I took out my beater for a very short ride today. It was fun but still way too cold for my liking!
