    RE: Dirtbike Trail Riding - Georgetown and Simcoe area

    Re: Dirtbike Trail Riding - Georgetown and Simcoe area I'm completely biased but Simcoe county has a lot to offer for new and experienced riders, and might be a bit closer to Brampton. The closest forest tract to you would be Baxter and it's not bad for kids. The sand can be intimidating but...

    SCORRA Family Fun Day - July 24th

    Those arrows can sneak up on you :) Thanks for plug btw, you got him far enough to be able to push the bike out. I think he got a grand total of 10 minutes of engine time out of it!

    SCORRA Family Fun Day - July 24th

    Did you do the hare scramble track or Williams? We led a group through Williams in the morning, but I wasn't able to do an afternoon group. If you were on a KDX220, you may be the guy I hit up for a spark plug for the KX250 that kept fouling plugs. If so, he fouled your plug and another after...

    2013 Victory Judge

    Posting for a buddy of mine up in Sudbury. The bike is in mint condition, with a mature, maintenance focused owner. The travel windshield makes it a great touring machine with plenty of torque. If you've demoed Victory before, you know they're quality machines with awesome engines. If you...

    SCORRA Family Fun Day - July 24th

    Click Flyer This is a green plate focused event, but also fun on the dirt focused blue plate bikes. I'll be giving tours of the Williams single track, across the road in the morning and playing on the track in the afternoon. Everyone is welcome.

    2016 - The year of the naked.

    If you like naked bikes, you might enjoy ADV bikes as well. We have lots of fun roads in Ontario. They're not paved :)

    Midhurst Trail Ride - Sunday May 29th

    Agreed. I felt like it set the bar pretty high up front, and by comparison everything else was easy. There was also that goat trail near the beginning with the downed trees that I though was a bit odd. It's not an area we ride normally and it felt pretty overgrown. Even seeing it on the GPS...

    Midhurst Trail Ride - Sunday May 29th

    Thanks for the feedback guys, we'll use it when designing the big bike route for next year. Personally, I didn't like the Williams design as well. First we needed the gate opened, but no one had the key (doh!). The method to get in was not ideal. Second, it should have routed through the...

    Midhurst Trail Ride - Sunday May 29th

    DS section is arrowed, and the test rider says it's easy to follow. There's some fun parts in Wildman tract that I think everyone will enjoy. Really cool (optional) sand hill climb in Strachan as well. I hope you guys have a great day with it.

    Midhurst Trail Ride - Sunday May 29th

    https://www.scorra.ca/MTR2016_Preregistration.html The Pre-reg is closed, but you can register on site on Sunday. It stages from RJ's Motocross track just north of Barrie. The 690 Enduro is a great bike, you could probably do the aggressive single ride or the dual sport ride, whichever you...

    Midhurst Trail Ride - Sunday May 29th

    I'm putting up the yellow trail arrows today for the dual sport only part of the event. The weather is still looking good for Sunday, only 30% chance of rain in the afternoon. The rain we've had recently has cut the dust down significantly, and helped firm up the sand. Just a reminder that at...

    Midhurst Trail Ride - Sunday May 29th

    Yup, a bunch of places are already arrowed. Orange = Normal route, Green = Shortcut/Challenge Bypass, Yellow = DS Only Route. I'm sticking the yellow arrows up on Saturday, so they'll be ready for Sunday morning. For a few other questions in here: - Blue plate only. We do have a Green plate...

    Midhurst Trail Ride - Sunday May 29th

    It's longer than the single track ride but it's designed to carefully avoid any t-junctions with that ride. There's quite a few places where the single track and double track riders will flow in the same direction, and everyone meets at the same place for lunch. The DS ride also goes into...

    Pictures from Motopark

    Ouch. The DRZ isn't really a motocross bike :) I've had my CRF250L on the track once, but it was not pleasant.
