So any thoughts on the Suzuki R9000 oil?

Had the day off and went riding in Muskoka. 118 east of Bracebridge is beautifully freshly paved black asphalt....right up until about 7 km from Carnarvon (just east of Bobcaygeon Rd) where it turns into alternating grooved pavement and hard pack dirt/gravel. Enjoy!

I had to get mine safety certified again. Dealing with the insurance company was a real pain. I had to go through the insurance ombudsperson after my adjuster at Primmum stopped returning my calls (I rejected their low-ball offer)...

Re: We know you ride, but do you Shoot? Norinco 1911-A1 is a decent very, very economical pistol. Picked one up used for $300 all in. Great shooter.

you ARE and old man. LOL. Have a good ride. I'll be in the Niagara region.

Maybe you need a bike you're more comfortable sitting on. Have you tried taking the back roads to the forks of the credit river? There's also Twiss road and Cedar Springs Road from 15th sideroad

it's the kind of riding you're doing: puttering around, commuting to visit friends, etc. As others have already mentioned, riding around in traffic gets boring fast. The problem with staying in Toronto is that the roads within Toronto are pretty lousy, interest wise. To find anything...

There's lots of great roads down there within a day's ride and back from deals gap. Almost too many to mention

Just stay in one place. Either right in robinsville or at the deals gap hotel (really a motel) at the cross roads of time (129 and 28 ), or if you want fancy and comfortable, Fontana village resort
