Holy sh**, that was scary af. I hope both of them fully recover soon. Looks like a racing incident and no one's fault.

I was told by the Aprilia guy that the line up started before 8 am. Aprilias were definitely popular.

Nice to meet some of you folks there...was a pretty good day. Parked my bike at corner 2 and walked around till corner 4 watching the race from different spots. Retrospectively should have rode the bike around instead of walking. It's kind of crazy to see the speeds the superbikes carry through...

Is that our undercover baller @MoClutch ? :LOL: The helmet looks very familiar...

I rode on 6 a couple of times...been a few seasons though. Decent roads but it's not fun from what I remember. I see them as means to get to Northeys Bay road (or back). YMMV

You should consider buying a couple of dirt bikes and riding around the trails with your kids when they're able to ride. Trailer it to different places and make it a family thing. Fun way to connect with them and keep riding as well.

Planning to head there on Sun. Will most likely be riding, forecast doesn't show any signs of rain. I used to volunteer for timing during race weekends at mosport and shannonville pre-covid for a couple of years...feels like ages ago. Happy to meet up, watch races together if there's interest.

I believe it's tied to the risk. The risk of loss of life, injury is higher - hence the premium. Not saying whether it's right or wrong, just my general understanding.

For me it was the thrill of going fast, I was 12 or so when I rode the first time...and I crashed riding too fast through a gravel road without knowing where the brakes were. I had access to small cc 2-strokes (like RS100) and smaller displacement vehicles in general, which were fun to ride...

I have always relied on private mechanics, indie garages for maintenance. Dealership services and experience is always a hit or miss in my personal opinion. I also have never bought a new bike, ever lol.

Shannonville right? There are a number of motels/hotels in Belleville and Greater Napanee. My personal preference is Napanee. There's a motel 3 km from the track, I haven't personally stayed there so can't offer any reviews. I have stayed at Fox Motor Inn in Napanee and found it to be good. I...

I haven't been riding too much in the city, but definitely want to come out for a few burger nights...hopefully I'll make it to some of the upcoming ones, and check out all the new bikes you ballers got this season.

Some friends who follow football mentioned exactly this on a common whatsapp group lol. Such a great sport ruined by rampant corruption. Now they don't even try to hide it. I have lost any interest to follow a club or a national team these days. I enjoy some highlights here and there. Also, I...

I believe cruisers are not allowed on track days, or I haven't heard. They're not meant to be track ridden. Thanks for sharing your experience, sounds like you had a great time. I was looking at Ride42 but had to back out due to logistics and bike issues. 6 year old tires sound risky, but a...
