I bought one expecting I'd put away the bike for a couple of months being my first winter and all. Didn't even get to open it 😬 I'm going to use that- "sound of summer". Nice line.

You know winter is done when you hear motorcycles zooming at midnight. See you all next winter to discuss salts and fuel stabilizers.

It's more to do with my dislike of the Mississauga transit system. If I have to freeze my ass for 40 minutes waiting for the bus, I might as well do it sitting on the bike 🙃

I'm no longer the lonely rider on the streets of Mississauga. I saw sports bikes zooming in the evening. 😞 Now no one will spontaneously say I'm crazy when I visit LCBO -sigh-

Female Sikhs can also wear a turban. :)

I know we all dislike cagers in general, but now and then you'll find a nice person on the roads who makes your ride pleasant (not sarcastic). I just thought of starting a thread to share such experiences. I have had two experiences- The first was during a downpour last fall when I was on the...

My personal experience with neoprene gloves has been great upto -5°C. I can still ride beyond it but it's no fun. Having said that I'm limiting myself to work and home when it's below 0 which is about 30 minutes on the road. Plus the neck gaiter immensely helped.

Now that the temps are bearable, are the meetups starting soon? 🙂

Yea. I was joking with my colleagues yesterday that the temps have not been double-digit negative this year because the motorcycle Gods want me to ride through the winter. I shouldn't have done that. -virtual facepalm-

Temperature is dropping tonight like it's nobody's business. It's dropped 5 degrees in the 30 minutes I was driving home from work.

Sorry, I have been sick and buried with work. Just saw this message. I guess it's too late now 😬

a few intersections north of Erin Mills. I wouldn't trouble with gloves though. I have 3 crooked fingers and it's an effort to find fitting gloves.

Yea. This is what my fear is about with thick winter riding gloves.

Yea. I'll shop around for those that fit my handle bar. There was one recommended earlier.

I just rode in to work wearing the general layers and gear expecting it to be -2/-3. It was not a fun ride. Realized it was -7 🫠 Next 10 days look to be up and down in temps. One good thing is I don't have to worry about "night-blindness" drivers on the roads in the evenings now. I'll invest in...

You need to press the "back" button a few times from the app and the app will shut down. It keeps running forever in the background otherwise.

Eh. Who needs navigation? The entire point of riding a motorcycle is "getting lost" /s The dark mode is much better in sunlight. Whenever I'm riding on unfamiliar roads, I use Waze. It sends the turn navigation to my Bluetooth headset. It also warns me about obstacles, cops, speed traps and...

Started riding again today after fixing up the bike. Felt good 😊

I have no tools 🥲 I just have a screwdriver kit from Dollarama and a portable bike kit from Temu 🥲 I'm still a poor-ass newcomer 😅 But I like the idea though.

Just a hunch. If it wasn't Timmies then the KFC around the block.
