I was on Hiway 35N from Canarvon to Dorset two weeks ago. Miles of grooved payment getting readied for re-surfacing I hate grooved payment.

I asked a Toronto police officer this some time ago, and comments back were- it is not filtering, you are allowed to use that lane even though parking is allowed, if you are doored it is not the motorcyclist's fault. MTO handbook says you can pass on the right since it is two lanes in same...

two or three blocks of the main street downtown are closed and some side streets. you can still get through the town on the side street detours. So yeah, I would still go.

Good part of the downtown is torn up; road, sewer work I guess. Completion is scheduled for end of May. Downtown Timmies is still accessible 'tho.

I was on #9 (going east from Bangor) last September. # 1 was too congested. #9 was an OK road, not to scenic but lots of twists and turns. I was in the car but I thought it would be a great road to bike. Seemed to be lot of bikes on it. We were warned to watch our speed on 9 because of radar...

great idea !

In response to complaints about loud motorcycles, I understand police in Waterdown area will be checking for loud pipes over the next while.

Minden has nice motel right on Hiway 35- well used by touring bikers - single story so you park right outside your room

Crossed CR 45 today (by car) from Orillia to Norland, still some sand at 2 or 3 intersections but otherwise was fine. Dips are smoothing out I think as frost leaves. Highway 35 Norland to Minden was fine. With some sand on the road shoulders that could get tracked on to the road so you still...

Nanticoke has Hoovers Marina Restaurant - a good place for lunch

How was it getting through Detroit to the border? seems scary and like an area I want to avoid but may be heading that way

good advice- also prevents the danger of large sheets of ice blowing off at highway speeds
