I am a 66 year old guy who rides. I probably ride more than most "Bikers." I have seen very very few "Bikers" on my rides, and most of those have been hanging out at bars and roadhouses along the road.
I rarely see "Bikers" on the back roads where all the riding is so peaceful, where the...
I ride an 1100 Honda Shadow ACE Tourer (1998). I keep meticulous records and I speak English - meaning at my age, I still talk MILES PER GALLON (THAT's IMPERIAL GALLONS lol !!!!)
MPG=46.5 miles/gallon or for the internationales.. that would be about
16.3 kms/litre
Well... in my case, you have been retired for 11 years and you have paid your dues by raising your kids straight and smart through their graduate and postgrad studies. After 30 odd years of marriage, the wife has run out of "NO"s
You have to make sure all your chores are done before you leave...
Local riding (north GTA) on back roads after 4:00 pm - open face!!
Before 4:00 pm - full face! trucks whip up crap from both the road and their bins!
Distance riding to Pa. On Slab - full face - again trucks
On secondary roads - open face!
Yes, you have to carry both. (or have someone ride...
I would suggest you avoid the 750 - like you'd avoid a volkswagen bug in the 60s unless you jus'wanna to ride to the corner store.
Get an 1100. You can get a HONDA if you want - I'd suggest a Yamaha - but that's just me. (Ok, the Yamaha classic is a cruiser that rides like a cruiser unless...
Once this thread and others like it have run theiri course, the name RASHID whatever will be completely forgotten as we move on to other trivia. A year from now, some interest will pique... if there are complicatioins and technicalities that squander the case. Then Rashid get to write a...

You had to get married to discover incompatibility? Sucks to be you.

The longer the ride, the more enjoyable. Rules? Try the most important ones - increase your chances of an accident free long life!

Good for you!! We were only 44 minutes late. Instead of finding SR 1014 after Renovo to cut across to meet the 44, we went all the way to Lock Haven! 44 miles later, we finally hit the 44 and followed it to Coudersport - in the dark!!

My sentiments, exactly. However, there are times when you can be helpful to others - and that's why there's a thread like this. Being helpful doesn't mean servitude. There are conditions and this thread seeks to lay 'em out.
Thanks for the...

I think it's worth a new thread. Just to make some things clear, like riding styles and behavior. I AM A FIXED OLD FART. SO THESE ARE IMPORTANT TO ME.
Style is most important. I never ride "Staggered." In traffic, I take a whole lane like a...
Hi,
I notice you are on the list of folks heading out on the 22nd.
Maybe we can hook up Saturday morning before meeting up with the rest along the QEW
I live in Markham

I could be up for this. I am a 65 year-old cruiser rider - but I am no cafe-loader. I ride. Been to the gap every year from 2003 - except this year because of weather. If the weather is dry in October - I could be interested. I can camp - got my own stuff - but I will motel it every 3rd day for...
