I've got a trip to Algoma planned around June and going East Coast through the adirondacks in July if anyone's interested. Camping both times...either on land or at a private site.

Headed to Icleand in September..hoping its decent weather enough to rent a bike for a week. Couple trips planned for the summer. Either ontario highlands or a trek out near Wawa. I'm also trying to plan a trip out east to Nova Scotia late July to hit the cabot trail and then come back...

back to the topic. yep. been planning the next big trip all winter. picked up a couple smaller camping supplies and started packing them in my panniers with clothes just to have something to do. got a dry bag in the basement sitting there waiting for a little warmth so i can strap it to the bike...

"never been dropped other then the wind blowing it over in my drive way" right.

looks like a fun trip. will you be camping every night or staying in a hotel? a 15 hr ride broken up into 3 days of riding will be nice, especially if this is your first time. leave at 6am, stop for breakfast, stop for lunch, setup camp, go hiking, and repeat. some people can travel 1000kms in...

I'm up for Sunday morning/afternoon.

I need to check the valves on my KLR650 too. I've got the Clymer manual for mine, do you have something similar? If you've got a decent garage I'd be more than happy to come with whatever tools I can put in my bag. I was hoping to do it in late September, once the last of my warm-weather-riding...

Check out the The Grange Side Road on your way to/from Forks of the Credit just off Hwy 10. A little downhill bit if you're going east, and there are some nice curves too. Not overly technical but 40 mins from Toronto. There are more in the area, but I ran out of gas so I had to stop...

Just heard from a friend who works in a hospital. Rider was heading south on County Rd 10, 71yr old lady was driving west on 12th concession. She went through a stop sign, not yielding to the rider. Rider is in the hospital with severe trauma, and some kind of pipe or pole through his abdomen...

if I can get the tires back on, this weekend would be nice. where do you live?
