I'm going camping with some friends in Bancroft and I was thinking of bringing the bike with me. Any good riding roads for a sports bike?

Thanks,
Vic.

Highway 509 and Buckshot Lake road are awesome. Over 80 kms of twisties with good pavement and almost no traffic.

Thanks guys. Is it a nice scenery and are to ride? I'm staying at Lost Lake for 4 days. Wondering if it's worthy the trouble of renting a trailer to bring the bike.

I was just on that road yesterday (hwy 65/centennial lake road), it was awesome. Highways 511 is great too. If anyone is going to ottawa I recommend avoiding the 401 or hwy 7 and going this way instead.

I was around there last week too. Took a side trip to Halliburton and also came down the 41 where it intersects that track. The first part of the 41 right in the north is amazing. Great twists following the water. Was having way too much fun until I saw a familiar outline a distance behind me and had to slow down.
