You, sir, have what is called situational awareness. Nicely done.

Took last Friday off of work and put on 300 miles (~480 km), riding from my home in Buffalo, NY down to Lock Haven, PA and back (PA Rt. 44). Was the much better way to spend a workday. Bike will remain ready to go until they salt the roads. Two years ago I rode on December 12th to check out a...

My 2015 Ninja 650 ABS spends a lot of time in Pennsylvania twisties. Few comfort mods (Corbin seat, taller windscreen) and some luxury mods (Givi saddle bags, tank bag, USB port, throttle lock etc..) added and it's an all-day rider. Regularly run 8-12 hour days in comfort.

Rider has no idea how to ride that bike...cant stop or start in a straight line.

Love The Gin Mill. There was a stretch where I stopped for a mid-afternoon beer 4-5 consecutive weeks on rides (I'm in Buffalo).

Will do. Btw, I am American and I am thrilled for a three-day weekend. Here's to the rain staying away. Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com mobile app

Posted this in the wrong forum before, I think: For anybody interested, we are meeting at the Zider Zee restaurant at 7:00AM for breakfast before heading out on this ride: https://goo.gl/maps/KWS9KqW1trs We have two Ninja 650s, a Versys 1000, and an F800ST. Usually a quick pace but nothing...

For anybody interested, we are meeting at the Zider Zee restaurant at 7:00AM for breakfast before heading out on this ride: https://goo.gl/maps/KWS9KqW1trs We have two Ninja 650s, a Versys 1000, and an F800ST. Usually a quick pace but nothing crazy, respectful in towns.

Distance is so arbitrary. I've had 200 mile days that hurt and 400 mile days where I could have gone done it over again. Road type, ride time, weather...all plays a factor.

https://goo.gl/maps/ZvEr2YwfgRM2 This would be a great day trip from Toronto to the Catskills area. Ride the slab all the way to the Lewiston-Queenston Bridge. From there, you can get all the way to the Catskills on nice 2-lane backroads with minimal traffic (once you get through Lockport)...

The Black Forest Inn in Lock Haven, PA. It's on PA-44, which is an incredible road from just southeast of Coudersport down to Jersey Shore, PA. Good restaurant, good bar (indoor and out), and good lodging. And if you havent done PA-44 before, it's an absolute must. Once you get there, you'll...

I am a fan, but I disliked the pick immensely. But I'm on board now, mostly because I dont have a choice!

Awesome. Riding a FZ09? My typical day in WNY is 120-200 miles, early morning breakfast out in the country, done by late afternoon. Respectable but spirited when appropriate.

Now that the riding season is upon us, I'd like to say again to this forum "thanks" for some good pointers on where to ride last year on my trip up to the Parry Sound/Muskoka area. I'd like to extend an offer to anybody who wants to head down to WNY on a weekend day this summer. I know the roads...
