I was wondering if people had one day ride suggestions other than forks of the credit. I haaaate riding in the GTA so I want to get out to some decently entertaining roads and still make it home after a full day of riding.
Next time I'm out, which is hopefully Friday, I might try a loop around...
I wasn't a fan of cruisers personally so I'm on a VFR now, but I just wanted to add that some lower end cruisers sometimes have drum brake and from past experience I'd say avoid them and stick to bikes with disc brakes if you can.
If I were to ever drive a cruiser again it would be a Honda Magna.
I've gotten analled by a dealer with bad service more than once...on my first bike after I took it in for the first service I noticed I always smelled gasoline. When I checked it out the exhaust wasn't bolted in properly and could've fallen off if I knew how to lean.
I bought an ATV from...
Cortech Latigo Flat Black Perforated Leather Jacket in size XL 46. Perfect for summer. Got one season of use. A bit of bug splatter on the jacket in pics but that will be cleaned up. The pics don't do this jacket justice, the flat black is really nice.

I have Drift HD 720p camera. It's in excellent shape, used it once for a trip to deal's gap. The video quality is excellent and it can record for a couple hours on end, if using it on the bike you won't get much more than wind noise but apparently it can be improved with a simple mod which I...
I got a qwest on motorcyclegear's almost free sale. At fifirst I hated the thing, it was incredibly loud and gave me serious headaches. I emailed shoei with no response but the guys at MG helped me out, turns out the baseplates needed adjusting. Fits amazing, real quiet and fits my sena...
Its hard to imagine the vfr being any more comfortable, I've done a few 1000+ km days on it now using a sheepskin pad and bike shorts from MEC

I'm up for a meet if I'm free, would be good to see what other mods people have done to theirs and I also want to see what the fuss is all about with the sargent seats.
I have an 09 VFR, I only picked it up 2 months ago but I've put over 10,000km on it so far.
This bike is my favorite, I'm 5'10" and find I can plant my feet with it. The stock seat doesn't bother me much and when I go on longer trips I just throw on a Sheepskin Gel Pad and I've been good to go...
My internet was down for a bit so it took me some time to get the stuff uploaded.
Here are some pics:
On the blue ridge parkway:
Mike's Bar-B-Q in Mountain City, TN just before the Snake. great BBQ and Mike is a friendly guy, a biker too.
On the Dragon:
I'm running Metzeler M3s on my VFR800 right now, I find they're pretty grippy and good for flicking the bike into turns, but not great for longevity. 6k on them and probably a few more before they hit the wear indicators on the rear. The Z8 looks sportier than then the z6 so I wouldnt mind...
I looked over the videos and the only one thst turned out really good was the snake which was the last video I shot after experimenting with my new drift cam. My photos are up on killboy and all tthe other sites now too. Only problem is I'm toast, being in the saddle for 5 days straight caught...
Did another 630ish miles over the course of 16 hours with a few breaks and now I'm just outside of Harrisburg, PA.
I went to Boone, NC and stopped to fill up when an older guy came up to me and asked if I was here to ride the famous snake road nearby. I didn't know what he was talking about so...
So yesterday I did 470 miles and I still felt good this morning.
I left my motel at like 830 and the staff let me leave my saddlebags and topcase at the desk sso I was travelling light. I made it to deals gap and did a run on the dragon, it was realllly intense. Not a ton of traffic and I did...
In asheville nc. Yesterday i slabbed to brp and went up to roanoke, incredible road. Then took the 221 to hillsville and after dark i slabbed to asheville. Every road out here is great.
Doing the deals gap loop today as suggested by woobie, wish me luck

So right now I'm starting on my second day to deals gap. I figure I could lay out my trip and also fish for suggestions along the way.
So I did 500 miles yesterday on the dot, right now I'm at a super 8 in west VA a little past fort royal. The whole day took me 14 hours, it wasnt ideal but I...
Lake Placid seems like a good bet, I've done some Eastern Quebec but I don't usually get 5 days to putter around so I wanna do some distance.
So I'm good to leave Saturday morning, I think I might try to pull off the tail of the dragon
Day 1 - Front Royal
Day 2/3 - Skyline/Blue ridge mixed in...
