    Snow bikes

    I rode a snowbike in BC in 25 cms of fresh pow just before Covid, and it was absolutely awesome. But as soon as you got on tracked trails, it was horrible. Rough ride and hard to control. If I lived in BC, I'd have one for sure. Here, I think the best place to ride would be frozen lakes...

    Octane Booster: Snake oil or not?

    I use this to get from 91 to the 95 required for my 2 stroke jetsurf. Much cheaper than buying blended fuel to 95. Have had no problem and seems to burn cleanly. https://torcoracefuel.net/products/torco-accelerator

    Ganaraska Forest Closed - due to storm damage

    Can't speak to Northumberland, but the storm damage at Ganny is just the excuse for staff to make the significant changes to the forest that they couldn't get done when it went through a fair and open policy approval back in 2018. These policies are supposed to be in place until 2038, but less...

    Ganaraska Forest Closed - due to storm damage

    Thanks. So much for a relaxed (semi)retirement. It really pisses me off to see bureaucracies playing fast and loose with their own rules, so if I can get involved and help, I'm prepared to do it. The people at GPTR are also doing a great job.

    If you think this is important, I would encourage you to join the Facebook group and sign the Petition. It would also be extremely helpful if you could write to: David Piccini, Minister of the Environment, Conservation and Parks, and MPP for Northumberland-Peterborough South...

    Ganaraska Forest Closed - due to storm damage

    I apologize, it’s been a while since I’ve been active on GTAM. Way back, the on-street motorcycle parking fees fight got me involved, now the Ganaraska issue is the cause that’s bringing me back. So what’s happening – the short version: The Forest re-opened on September 30th with less than 7%...

    Anyone done a Fly and Ride

    +1 for IMT in Spain. Rented an R1200RT from their Barcelona office in 2012 and had a great experience I would also recommend Adriatic Moto Tours. We did a wonderful tour with them through Slovenia (where they're based) Northern Croatia and The Dolomite's in 2014. They also rent. Don't get...

    Motorcycle rental decision

    If your plans are to just stay on the pavement, the RT is a very comfortable 2-up tourer, and handles surprisingly well in the twisties. Something you wouldn't suspect from such a bike bike. We rented one for 8 days in Spain in 2012. Loved it so much, we've booked one for 34 days in Italy this...

    Motorcycle Parking Fees Recommended without Notice or Public Consultation

    I've got no problem with archiving this thread. I've moved just outside the GTA, and hardly get back to the City. I've also lost touch with all my old City Hall contacts.

    New Touring/2-Up Bike

    Sounds like you liked the Versys, so why not stick with it for your upgrade. New ones have everything you're looking for. I've got a 2017, and find it great for 2-up touring and solo riding. My wife finds it almost as comfortable as my old V-Strom 650 (she really loved that bike). But I would...
