    Front Street Parking Expert

    Ummm...the one parked like a car taking up enough spots for 2 other bikes. Everyone else is like Emefef, parking so someone else can slide in beside you. I am not sure if I am about to hear justification but it would have to be really good. Like his bike was in an accident on the way to...

    Feedback and Suggestions for 400 km day trip route...

    I use this method as well. Just head north from the east side of the GTA and keep making turns. If i hit a road I don't like just turn around go up a bit further and make the next turn. I am always amazed at what I find. Only interesting thing is that whereas karentsang turns around at 40-50...

    The classic LOL in the quiet office. Not sure reading your blog is what I get paid for so had to quickly minimize the browser as everyone looked over.

    Just learned what a dormant volcano is. And just learned what the Darien Gap is. Learning is fun!!! BTW, I notice you guys constantly wearing motorcycle gear in, how do I put this, strange situations. For example recently Neda is riding a horse with motorcycle gear on (you always seem to...

    Funny. A friend and I went to NYC to visit my Uncle who had lived there for 30 years. The night before we met him, my bud and I found ourselves drinking up in Harlem (Columbia is up there). On our way home to the hostel at 2am we came across a street football game. The guys had us join in...

    Mmmm...pho. I love tripe. Took the kids to Pho and got them to try tripe before telling them what it was. Great way to teach them. They now call it "the place with the cow's stomach." They like the soup just not with the tripe. ;) If anyone is in Scarborough try Pho 88. The classic long...

    I notice in one of your postings you use the term "Doing a Charlie Boorman..." Now I know who he is and I know it references standing on the pegs. But does he do it that often? And doesn't everyone stand on the pegs to stretch their legs? I just had never heard this reference before. BTW...

    Where the other big Canadian banks looked to the US for new investment avenues, Scotiabank made a huge policy of investing in developing/third world countries. You will find them all over the Carribean, Latin and South America (except maybe Arhgentina where they took the money and ran back in...

    New BMW R1200GS

    Sorry I will declare myself the idiot. Actually I am just not good at translating 2-D pictures into 3-D. The picture with the rad. Am I seeing right that it is at angle to the bike? Or what am I misinterpreting? if it is that makes no sense.

    For those of you who filter

    Speaking of which, what WOULD make that guy move? I have never seen him actually go after anyone. Or do you think it is the "there's the teacher you better behave" thing where he sits so he does not have to chase people.

    DVP in the AM

    Ummm...why Don Mills and not Vic Park to O'Connor? I ride that all the time and it is never really busy. Takes you right there with no backtracking. My wife also takes Vic Park off the 401 and swears by it. alb

    Possible poll?: Road with the worst drivers.

    Steeles between Warden and Markham Road. I am scared even driving a minivan through there. When I moved to Ottawa I used to have an apropos saying: Toronto and Ottawa drivers are both ignorant, it is just that Toronto drivers know they are ignorant and usually are on purpose.

    I Saw You: V.2.0

    I was driving my mini-cage this morning and saw a bike (and rider) on the 401 Eastbound this morning. White single seater bike with orange lettering (? on the lettering), rider had a silver helmet on. Trying to get a handle on the type of bike. Also the helmet is really hard on the eyes when...

    Funny How the Public Views Motorcyclists.....

    Interesting question to me at least. I wear a full face but sometimes I am going to be in a store for only a minute, don't feel like carrying it or I am just to lazy to undo the straps so I just walk around with it on. I have the visor up. But I feel like I am getting the looks. Is it...
