There used to be a couple of flat topped bridges in St Catherines going across rail lines on side roads. Zinging along with a girl on the back of my Honda SuperHawk I realized I was going way too fast....left the ground on the way up the bridge, cleared the top entirely and somehow landed safely...

This has been a great thread OP (y)

midnight snack, pain meds then :sleep: Pain from tooth extraction pretty much non existent. I do have to start rinsing with salt water tho. One of these days I'll get a ride in - but not today - flood warning in effect, Damn, big nuclear furnace busted through the clouds and warming my back...

I got to the top of the Roger’s Pass with zilch left on the cb500x It was a long nail biting coast/draft down to the next station. Had1 ltr left. Not the smartest way to start a trip. I ignored the no gas for xxx km and forgot about gravity Despite that I still ran it thin a few times on that...

That ST is a super deal if it comes with safety. 3,200 km a year ....almost a garage princess. Not so cheap to run but point it south this time of year in GTA and find spring in comfort. Hell oem luggage worth $950

Clever having spare parts strapped to the frame. Very loud house fire alarm got us up at 2am ...no reason found :sleep:

Well always a new adventure. Scheduling conflicts means me taking a bus out to JCU for my stage 2 dental appointment on standby. And it's going to be pouring. ☔ no way I can ride At least it's cool.

Aside from this one the best brand specific forum has been StromTrooper. Had a superb mod in Grey Wolf and he was sorely missed when he passed. There are a couple of casual mcycle forums I drop in on.....model specific ADVRider has been a long term fav. A few general chat forums that are far...

Done that too. Riding partner in Australia had the same white Burgman 650 as mine in Canada. Several moments of confusion over three months. Bruce is the same age as me and was in the Mac business as well....continents away but we connected on the burgman.usa site. Had lunch with him the other...

Noraly knows her audience... Dear David Hellstern, Never a dull moment on the road! These last two weeks in Saudi Arabia have been amazing. From ancient tombs to gorgeous scenery - I have been so busy exploring that I didn't realise how time is flying! And well, it was already about two weeks...

Knew part of this but not Faraday's very lowly beginnings ...informative read “At the same time that he [Davy] gratified my desires as to scientific employment, he advised me to remain a bookbinder, telling me that Science was a harsh mistress… poorly rewarding those who devoted themselves to...

In the drink? More likely in the milk frother container where it should be. I've not seen in the drink itself. When I ask for 140 I want 140 ....not that hard.

I was nearly badly burned by a superheated coffee I picked up at Second Cup. I had asked for "not too hot". I took a very small sip. Burned my lip a bit ....that damn coffee was not cool enough to drink until I got to Barrie from Bayview. They don't teach the baristas how dangerous steam is.

an update on the tea party tradition....

Only ones that can afford motorcycles. Young riders mostly into bicycles, eSomethings etc. Barrier to mcycles high and getting higher. In Aus you need to be accompanied by a licensed driver for the first 3 month. Either riding their own motorcycle or in a car. In Ontario insurance is a huge...

Got the temps. Nice mid 20s...on the other hand sigh....actually thought the wet had stopped. Only time I miss Canada is the spring riding especially when the Masters starts early April.
