I need to find a way to move my Heritage Softail from Wasaga Beach, home to Oak Ridges (Richmond Hill). Yes, now. For all you optimists (:)) it would be a very bad idea to wait for dry pavement/+4 temps. Unfortunately not an option. Any ideas? Is there a local outfit that would take care...

Looking for a no BS group to ride with. I live Midtown, but work up in Newmarket. It'd be great to get a group together up there for an after-work sojourn when the weather takes a turn for the better.

I know a guy named Len in Newmarket who does fabulous work - will do a gel seat for you for a great price. PM me and I'll get his contact info to you.

Ewww!

Consider the following situation: Woman arrives at grungy bike shop with dead bike that has just been pulled off a flatbed. Tow truck driver has done his job well and turned the petcock to the off position prior to tie-down. Rosey looks at bike, gives it a shake, notes that there is gas in...

Exactly! I'd put around 300 km this season with no problem, then installed a GPS. The bike then sat for over a week and when I tried to start her up - dead. Bump-started it and took off, thinking the GPS had been left on and caused the dead battery. After the new battery was installed, I...

Hey Taras, I rolled out around 3:30 so I may have just missed you. However, if you saw me there you'd likely have seen me inside the shop working on the bike (orange cruiser, lots of chrome). It was my first visit to Rosey's and quite the interesting experience. He's not exactly PC but he...

Started losing power on the 401 collectors across from Yorkdale Mall. Bike died and I pushed it over to the break-down lane only to discover that I'd forgotten my cell. Thanks to Michael on the Kawi ZZR for stopping and helping a damsel in distress. Called CAA and detoured to Rosey Toes...

I've got a gorgeous Hyosung Aquila GV 250 for sale. Low seat height and centre of gravity and corner's beautifully. PM me if you want to know more.

Well said. Just waiting to see what comes of the 'warranty claim' before I share my ...ahem... experience to date at T.O. Psycho. Keep ya posted. Hey, maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised.

Thanks for the input Venom and Short Stop. I'll give them a shot :)

Any of the hotels in the south end - Homewood suites is new, Quality Inn, Super 8. I suggest you stay in that area as it's central to whichever route you've decided on and there are pubs/bars/nightclubs in the vicinity within walking distance. Do not stay at the seedy hotel/motel at the...

Have to bring my bike in for some warranty work - anybody have experience with Ralph and his crew at T.O Cycle on Lakeshore in Etobicoke?

Perfect Tanoluch. See you at 8:30 at Famous Sams.

I was thinking of an 8:30 am start. The show runs until 7 pm. I'm open to suggestions regarding the route we take and if anyone knows the area well, so much the better. Should be a great ride and I'm a rock freak, so I'm looking forward to it.
