I rode up there on the 16th. Good times as touring routes – not as sporty as I'd been led to think from all the press they get. Great weather, and the surfaces were better than average. e.g. on the way there I rode Lower Faraday Rd which I would call more sporty. Lower Faraday Rd. is mostly back...

Since your post is so fresh, what condition are Elephant Rd. (and Peterson Rd.) in this month? Or anyone with recent riding there. Thanks.

The Facebook notice said to register for details. That just puts me in a loop of seeing the same thing Royal posted in the first place. I guess they are just harvesting email addresses. Anyway, any scoop on specific products or segments to expect? They used to provide that information in...

I got more speeding tickets driving a 1984 Toyota Tercel with about 70 HP from a 1500 cc, than I have in any car before or since, all with way more power. God, the first week I owned that thing I thought I made a huge mistake, until I realized I'd just have to row through the gears a lot more to...

I have a little gizmo I bought a few of at the Sportsmen's Show one year - "BoomBox". That's the only ID on it. About $25 for 2. It's a self contained case ~ 3" x 3" x 1" consisting of an 1/8" plug/cord to run into a headphone/laptop output, another cord with a 0.75" transducer to stick on a...

I've been taken out by two drunk drivers in over 40 years of driving. Thankfully (I suppose there's an upside) while driving cars. The first one was at 4:30 pm on a long weekend Saturday and the other was at 11 am on a Monday. People with drinking problems are drunk at any time of day. Then you...

The large place in Rosseau, "Crossroads" is worth trying. Maybe a few extra bucks but you're eating and feeling like a human being with full service on the patio or inside the restaurant after being in the saddle for hours. I couldn't finish my smoked meat on rye with fries so they wrapped up...

Are you maybe thinking about the Bandidos wipeout? That only happened 12 years ago and it was 8 people killed in one night.

+1. I felt more at ease being patted down in Damascus and Cairo airports in the 70's when things were really dicey in the Middle East than I did going to L.A. for Christmas in 2009. Talk about paranoid tightly wound up authority figures.

Really? I was there in 2016 and it was ripped down to bedrock. But I did my homework and was forewarned. I imagined it would be one beautiful stretch of road by now.

Nasty. Get the funk out. Good God y'all. I'd rather not get fully geared up for a ride and then finally pull on a full face helmet that reminds me of a wet gym sock that's two weeks old. Been there ... still gotta ride though right?

Ummm, are we talking about physically dividing the lanes? or the drivers ;)

I've pretty much gotten over the memories of commuting to Woodbine and Steeles for 4 years from Keele & Wilson and another 8 years from Sutton. The worst day dreamers and at the same time most aggressive drivers compared to my long periods of working elsewhere and commuting 5 days a week to...

Those four are the most important IMO. In the review when we completed the route I got called out so many times for "not noticing" and there's no point in debating it with the person testing you, since they are always in the right. It might feel goofy, but really telegraph your head checks and...
