I had 15 years with my first company , including a move here from England , but when I found myself unhappy every day then I quit. I had no job to go to but I knew it was not worth my health to stay a day longer. The second I made the decision I felt the weight lift from my shoulders - never...

I have had to sit out most of this summer after a low side that caused a fractured and dislocated pinky finger. needed surgery to reposition it and then 4 weeks with pins in and still another four weeks in cast now that pins are out. Have certainly gone back and forth in terms of riding again...

I have always done this when big trucks are oncoming - will do it more now RP/GWS rider

Enjoy the UK and remember to keep LEFT

Knowing I wanted a cruiser and after seeing that riding schools were using the verago 250 , I decided that would be my first bike. I knew it would only be for my first year and so bought a used one. Granted it was no super powerful bike but could move me around at 80 KMH no problem which was...

The routes in the link posted by MacDoc are all excellent. I found most of those roads by trial and error , playing with Google maps, over my first couple of years of riding.

if you are looking for a private sale send me a DM. My instructor from my M courses is selling his

I always seem to be on the seafood diet. I see food , I eat it

I started using it this year to keep track of my routes and re-find places I discovered when just wandering. I just launch it and forget about it until I get back home. Totally ignore the social media side of it

It's not just bikes that cut the corners. The closest I have come to being hit on my bike was at that same junction. I was coming the other way on Hockley and an SUV going south on Airport road turned left across my lane , no attempt at all to turn properly. I think it is just a habit that some...

for my last anniversary we did nights at the ritz carlton in Toronto. Would totally recommend it

It's funny how everyone worries / warns about the hairpin but it is the uphill right hander immediately afterwards that is more of a trouble

I found that they all fit so differently that I had to try a number of brands / styles before finding the one I was comfortable in. I bought a pair of Bullitt jeans with Covec on clearance at Royal distributing a couple of years back. Find them very comfortable to ride in

I bought and learned on a vstar 250. Kept it for the one year and sold it for same as I bought it for.

Doesn't have to be exactly 18 months. I did my M2 in May and so in theory could have done my M in December but I waited until the spring to do it. Even if they offered it in December I wouldn't want to be doing it in potential subzero temps

here is a nice route to give you some ideas. Only 3 hours but if you add in some lunch and maybe the scenic caves it would make a good day https://goo.gl/maps/MgmZ9FYuJw12

I had my heart set on the Shark but when I tried it on the sunshield felt way too close when slid down- almost rested on my nose. Went for the Shoei Neotec instead- thanks to a lucky lottery ticket. On an un-related note big thank you for your avatar - I always picture that and my riding in...

most of my riding is done solo - nothing over 6 hours so far though. Agree with he points made in the article and follow most of them. Don't have a GPS tracker on my person - can't have the wife knowing how many refreshment stops i make - :)

took one out last summer at an event at Ontario place. Agree with earlier comment about crazy loud - especially when it downshifts automatically. Also agree about how wife would ride passenger on one of them but not on my bike- not sure that is selling feature though, I kind of like my ME time...
