Didn't a rider get killed on that ramp a few years ago?

If a riders died on that ramp, I wouldn't exactly call it fun. I would be careful whenever trying any of this stuff.
Well duh, if you don't die then it's fun.

Many of these bumps to catch air would probably need you to go to (if not, close to) 50km/h over anyways so....
Not sure, but I wouldn't be surprised because of uphill, blind, and merging into traffic very quickly.
Ramps, technically, have no speed limit (or 80km/h from some court decisions). Some bumps you just need to be accelerating to catch air even if your exit speed is a measily 60km/h. Regardless, it would be stunting =(

20 Sideroad east of Guelph Line, theres one bump that has your front wheel up just going the speed limit 80km/h. Its a nice little stretch with some twisties the bump will come on a straight around 6th Line. Haven't done that area in a while, so not sure if the speed limit is still the same. Go a little over the limit and I'm sure you can easily get the back wheel off. Just make sure you're heading east, heading west the bump doesn't have the same effect. Enjoy.

[h=3]Speed[/h] On the curve of the entrance ramp, keep your speed slow enough so that objects and people inside your vehicle are not pushed from the force created by turning the curve. While in the acceleration lane, increase your speed to match that of freeway traffic. While merging, control your speed to blend smoothly with freeway traffic.
You're supposed to match the speed of traffic and merge... Not hit 100km/h and go straight in...
I believe it was May 08 Sol passed away on the ramp coming up from Bayview, and then in Oct 08 Bharat passed away on the bottom corner of the ramp coming down from Bloor. That was a bad year for downed riders. There was a few people from here that went down that year. RIP
Conservation road just west of guelph line nice rollercoasterget air both wheels if you hit them with high speed or time it right and hit the gas at the crest of each rise for
It's depressing that Twiss road is considered a good motorcycling road. I mean look at almost any non-urban road in the USA. Twiss is literally a straight line with a wiggle in it, and we get all excited about it.
Worst road in Toronto and it's right in front of the Etobicoke works department. Haven't thought about a bike but it's hell in a cage because the road crown is all over the place.
It can be fun at as it passes the Cheltenham Badlands but don't think of anything frivolous unless you have a spotter or death wish. Too many cagers making u-turns and the sight line is close to nil. And yes one of the favourite Caledon OPP fishing holes.
Bah humbug. Accelerate on the entrance to the curve such that your knee will be on the ground through the corner (sport bike) / your floorboard will be scraping (cruiser/touring) or such that all objects inside the vehicle will end up squashed against the door outside the outer tire track (car). Then slow down on the corner exit to match the speed of traffic.
I should add that with regards to the original topic "best bumps to catch air" ... the current answer is "just about everywhere". There are spine-joltingly bad, fork-seal-blowing, suspension-bottoming frost heaves EVERYwhere, and nowhere near enough of them are marked. In today's travels, I saw a temporary "bump" sign that had been placed next to a bad ripple that has been there for the last few months, but completely unmarked and invisible until too late and probably 50 metres ahead of that sign, was a nasty dip followed by a ripple that bottomed the suspension in my car on first one side then the other, and I'm sure it caught air while being tossed around ...
