    is it worth getting an adventure bike for ontario roads?

    Check out Dec issue of Motorcyclist magazine...they test a Husqvarna TE449 along with a BMW F650GS, F800GS and a R1200GS Adventure. I test rode a F800GS at Mosport earlier this year...interesting bike..very different feel from my F800ST even though it is the same motor. Definitely considering...

    Ok this is most likely for next year but found a great spot while staying in Huntsville for work. I think it's called the Coffee Cabin and it is located at hwy 60 and 11 in the Wal Mart plaza right beside a Kelseys. Good selection and quality food reasonably priced, also has gourmet coffee if u...

    Road 38 between Bala and hwy 400 + Rd 3 Rosseau

    Hit some bad construction earlier tonight on this road closer to hwy 400 than Bala. Road torn up and they were stopping traffic with a flag, very rough loose gravel right where they were working. Later came across several gravel sections 10 to 20 ft long and one was right in the middle of a...

    #518 east of Hwy 11 and Bear Lake Road?

    Not sure how you are getting to Wilberforce but I recently was on county Rd 6 north of Kirkfield and it is great now, not sure when they finished the paving but it looked pretty good. I sometimes take it down to the east west road from Beaverton to 35 and then go over thru Fenelon Falls...

    River Road from Hornings Mills to Creemore

    I ride that area quite often and I don't believe that there are any paved roads going north from River Rd up to creemore unless you use Airport or 124. I usually ride across River to Airport, north to Honeywood rd, turn west back to 124 and then north to the Creemore road. North south roads are...

    Airplane Watching

    There is an airshow NW of barrie once every summer that I enjoy. Small private planes but the best are the biplanes and WW2 stuff since everybody fly's in for the day. http://i52.tinypic.com/2wpo6mg.jpg

    BMW owners movement!

    No biggie, I just got a small speeding ticket while riding in the middle of the group with Sunny. Cop knocked it down from 118 to 100 in an 80 but felt obligated to lecture me on " how my riding influences others" since I was about 6 bikes behind Sunny and a good distance I still haven't figured...

    BMW owners movement!

    Mike, all I know, is that I can't ride with you anymore. As the cop says...."your riding influences other riders"......:lmao: I am such a powerful influence that even when I'm but a speck in your mirrors you are persuaded to go even faster along with the other 5 guys in front of...

    Best Motorcycle Show in Toronto

    At the December show most of the BMWs were available for sitting on...except maybe a custom 1000RR. Honda even had a cool display with the new 250CBR mounted up on a stage with a winding road backdrop and dampers attached to the bike so you could sit on it and lean with your feet on the...

    How to react to a fallen biker

    I recently was on a ride where one of our riders had an incident and dislocated his shoulder. When we called 911 and they asked for our location we couldn't give it to them, we had been at the back of a group ride going thru many twists and turns, none of us knew the area. My Iphone was not...
