Interesting article from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation about motorcycle helmets bought from online platforms having counterfeit safety certifications: https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/motorcycle-helmets-online-counterfeit-safety-1.6664654

Rode 2+ hours to the cottage yesterday with an extra layer under the jacket and "First Gear" heated gloves I got from FortNine a couple of years back. They work incredibly well under 10C, especially on the highways.

Looks like it's a done deal: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/ontario-sikh-motorcycle-helmet-exemption-1.4817828

From CBC this morning: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/motorcyclists-may-soon-be-allowed-to-drive-between-lanes-of-traffic-in-toronto-1.4744336 Nothing new really, but I was not aware of a potential pilot project on Richmond and Adelaide Streets.

From the GO Train I saw a black and white V-Strom heading south on the Bayview Extension -- kudos to you for still riding! That red Porsche tailgating you made me nervous though and hope he eventually backed off.

Saw a nice group of a dozen or so Harley riders at the Petro Canada beside the Timmies in Havleock today. (I was warming up with a coffee in the Timmies lot on my sport bike.) You guys looked great heading out to the awesome Hwy. 46 -- hope you had good ride and managed to stay warm.

Rest in Peace Rider: https://www.mykawartha.com/news-story/7587614-man-killed-in-hwy-7-motorcycle-crash-east-of-havelock/ Roughly the same piece of Hwy. 7 from the Aug-19-2017 incident involving a group of riders struck by a pickup truck crossing the centre line.

Count me in -- I'm in southern Richmond Hill. I'd like to do a Burrito Boyz North one of these Wednesday nights before the end of the season too.

Searched the forum and don't think it's a repost, but still a good laugh even if it is.....

A couple of times now around 7PM I see 4 - 6 sport bike riders heading east on Highway 7 between Hunter's Point Drive and Yonge St. Is that a group ride?

Saw a Naked Suzuki inline four really up close this morning as he plowed through us pedestrians while turning right from Front St. onto Simcoe St.

I did the same thing and picked up an Activeon camera over the winter. It's compatible with GoPro mounts, so I ordered a GoPro suction mount. Seems to be the most versatile mount for motorsports to easily attach an action camera to gas tanks, fairings and bike tails, which I'll start with in...
