ride - if you want to
Blue plate = regular street plateOriginally Posted by dirtbag
Green plate = trail only plate
If you have a blue plate do you then need an additional green plate for trails? Or is that just a day pass you would buy for certain areas such the ganaraskas?
ride - if you want to
Have been tempted to move to a trail bike, but how would a V-strom with some on-off road tires do on a run like this?
Is there a database of these trails? A friend of mine recently did or will do a ride from Bomanville to Picton.

V-strom is way more capable than you think.
Get a set of TCK's and get out there!!!

Blue plate will cover you on the road + municipal gravel roads + non-winter maintenance roads. Essentially, any road where the highway traffic act is in effect.
Where you need a pass is Ganaraska + privately owned property + some forest tracts.
OFTR membership covers many of these.... I think?!

dudes.... stop looking at my silly pictures, get out there and ride!!!!

amen. hitting up ganny for the first (but from what I hear it wont be my last) time tomorrow. gonna hit up your trail when I get a chance later this summer.
So you giving up on the street guys, eh? No more Thursdays?
guess we rode together? what u ride MXS? I may come out again, just busy lately and the XR aint ideal for the thursday rides... neither is it for ontario roads
Yep, black DRZ400 SM. I know, with your knobbies the bike screems to be taken offroad.
just did it about halfway, to collingwood before i ran out of light. pretty cool ride and can be hardcore in places, at least for my newb ***. the waterfall crossing was a bit of a pucker with the drop off and then there was a fallen tree I had to muscle outta my way. one descent was pretty hairy but I did it. thanks for the tracks again. one day I will do the way back too and finish off the way up as I cut across pretty river road and to the top of the mountain that way. lots of mud holes to go around tho.
it's somewhere in this thread. go back a few pages. OP posted it

That looks like an excellent ride. If this is being ridden again by anyone let us know. I'm a beginner class rider with a blue plated 250.
Some of the trail sections look great, I only have a green plate on my XR350, so I am guessing I can't ride on all of it. How much of it would you think I can ride on? if a good percentage I would love to meet up with anyone going through here! post up next time you all are going!
How many KMs is this ride?
If those pics are the worst of that trail, I could do it on my Gixxer,LOL
Looks like a fun ride.
Maybe next yr if I can afford to get onto the new Tiger Cub 800!
