No worries Dave, have fun. I wouldn't have been able to make this weekend.

I can see the validity of your point, although it is quite unusual around the world for one to wait behind the stop line until the traffic clears. That typically ends with one or no cars crossing on busy intersections. I personally hate it when people do that ... On the same logic one should...

Yesterday evening I was really close to a bad end. I had my wife give me a lift to pick up my bike from the shop. Picked up the bike, drove out of the parking lot, waiting on the red light at this minor intersection on Steeles, West of Dufferin, my wife drives 2 cars behind me... Light turns...

Looking at riding on Sunday. Could be local (518 and area) or heading South for a two-three days ride. Is there a Deals Gap ride in the planning ?

Good choice on the Bandit. Had a 2007 1250SA, one of the first in Canada and loved it. Over years I changed the exhaust, redone the seat with a gel insert, touring windshield, heated grips, top box, racetech overhauled fronted, and enjoyed it for 7 years. The engine is superb for touring, it...

I'm good for Sunday. ... Moe, done Pennsylvania two weeks ago again, but up for it anytime :)

"So ya know, next time you enjoy electricity, think about all those "chinese trinkets and veggies" that might be in the truck next to you. " Just so you know, we pay for it. Next time when you get a pay cheque, think that we pay for it. In more ways than one. The road congestion, the polution...

We do pay for it, don't we ? More ways than one. I would rather pay the real cost upfront than all hidden costs driven up by trucking lobby in North America, low regulated industry. Can't believe the technical condition of most of these things driving 120+ as the norm, drivers having spent 10...

Either would work. Roads in PA are a bit better than roads in VT, but both would be fun :)

I was looking forward to ride again with you guys.... I may still go for a solo ride tomorrow. Anybody up for a 2 days ride next weekend? Remember ! The winter is coming!

Planing to leave in the next hour, Muskoka and stuff :)

I want to order some stuff from motoin.de (the prices seem to be better than US and local). Any ideea on import fees for gear ? helmets for example ?

I recommend Sharp's Total Control. I found myself riding better after the course, despite being familiar with most techniques they taught, before the class. It definitely helped me improve.

The weather forecast shows weather improving down South ...

I would appreciate any suggestions for good roads (like PA44 :) for example) in Vermont , new Hampshire and Quebec. Thanks.

I'm quite familiar with Pennsylvania and Virginia roads, been doing that a few times every year, for the past 6-7 years. That would be my first choice, but the forecast for the weekend shows 3 days of rain in Virginia. While gore-tex gear does quite well in that weather, is still not that fun to...

Thinking on doing a 3-4 days trip this weekend. Could be Southwards (Pennsylvania, W Virginia, Virginia), or Tremblant bound. Also open to suggestions. I would prefer not going alone, anyone interested ? On that note, I ride an Aprilia Caponord 1200, rain or shine, and paved roads as much as...

Thinking about going down south for the long weekend (3-4 days). Any interest ? Also open to other routes, as long as they are twisty enough :)

Most probably I'wont make it, still caught up with work ...

Any chance for a later meeting spot. I will ride tomorrow anyway and I would rather not do it alone, but I have two conf calls at 9 am that I can't take while riding :). Just if there is an eventual possibility to catch up somewhere up north.
