    Best rides outside of east end of Toronto

    The GTA housing and congestion is spreading out so rapidly now you pretty well have to be anywhere east and north of Uxbridge now. I find there's always two parts to my rides now. The first part is a slab or bee line straight out to where the real enjoyable riding begins as the second part. I...

    Riding after hip replacement

    I had a combined hardware removal from my right hip and hip joint replacement three years ago. The result was amazing. Be sure to do all the rehab exercises and you'll be able to resume most everything you used to do and enjoy.

    Suspension Specialist - Durham (Pickering - Oshawa) or West GTA

    Accelerated Technologies lowered and rebuilt the ESA suspension on my R1200GS. It completely transformed my ride for the better. It was a bit of a wait to get in there, but absolutely well worth it.

    EARPLUGS - Custom DIY - where did you get yours?

    After years of trying a variety of disposable plugs, I was fitted for some custom ones at the Ajax Costco. The staff there were excellent. The custom earplugs work well and I find them very comfortable.

    What are your ***-comfort secrets?

    I used an Airhawk for a couple of years but eventually opted for a Russell day long, the sport seat version which made a huge difference for me. I've kept the Airhawk just in case I eventually have to throw it on top of the Russell.

    Helmet purchase from Germany is it worth it

    I've bought a Schuberth C3 Pro and Sidi boots from biker-land.de over the years with excellent service and amazingly fast delivery by DHL. No extra taxes and saved hundreds of dollars. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from there again.

    Wasnt sure what to say...

    A couple of years ago I was partnered to play golf with an older gentleman. During the course of our conversation he became aware that I rode a motorcycle daily.

    Versys300, CCM, CB500, Vstrom650 small 'ADV' bikes

    If this is the trend, I believe there's another factor besides cost. Speaking from an older rider perspective, along with being inseam length challenged, these bikes can offer a way to extend your riding life. Something to consider.

    Roads between Kingston and Hwy 7

    Just a note of caution about Arden Road. The southern portion is asphalt, no problem for sport bikes. The remainder, which is actually the more interesting and challenging portion, is narrower tar/gravel pavement with numerous patches and potential potholes. If there's a heavy rain, the fill can...
