    Northern roads

    Just came back from a work trip thru Haliburton area. Roads are clear but still lots of snow and ice on the shoulders. This creates many wet patches with the water running across. Whenever you are traveling on a road that you haven't been on in a while..especially over the winter it is wise to...

    Ride motorcycles

    I came very close to buying a Triumph from Ride early this year. I really liked Greg and he seemed like a straight shooter...gave me a very good price on a Triumph Scrambler but I wanted to wait to see the new 2014 colours. Before that could happen they were no longer a dealer. Any idea if Greg...

Just a gentle push on the...

    Need advice for 3 Days In California

    I have done most of what you are planning but over a few different trips. Personally I would try to cut back, you are covering so much area that you wont have much time to take any of it in. My recommendation would be to leave LA for another trip and just head down to a little north of...

    BMW owners movement!

    Hey Sandro...kind of doubt they will be going by my place just south of Barrie anytime soon....plus when you are promised something when you purchase a product it kind of sucks when they tell you...." oh we don't do that anymore " that was last month!
