    Calabogie Solstice Ride

    You can't go wrong with either one. They're both great but I would take a) as each time I ride it I feel its just a bit more "out there".

    Versys300, CCM, CB500, Vstrom650 small 'ADV' bikes

    If this is the trend, I believe there's another factor besides cost. Speaking from an older rider perspective, along with being inseam length challenged, these bikes can offer a way to extend your riding life. Something to consider.

    Roads between Kingston and Hwy 7

    Just a note of caution about Arden Road. The southern portion is asphalt, no problem for sport bikes. The remainder, which is actually the more interesting and challenging portion, is narrower tar/gravel pavement with numerous patches and potential potholes. If there's a heavy rain, the fill can...

    West Coast Road, Vancouver Island

    Sorry for your loss. I'm sure your Dad would've been proud that he was able to pass on to you, the values that help you celebrate his life and continue on.

    Roads between Kingston and Hwy 7

    You might consider including the Arden Road that runs between Hwy 7 and Tamworth if you can. Fairly twisty, scenic, mostly tar and gravel with patches but asphalt in the southern portion. Can be sandy and a bit loose in the spring. Keeps your focus.

    Biker-land.de - Good Experience

    My experience with them was similar. Over the past five years, I purchased two high value items, Sidi boots and a C3 Pro. In both cases the savings were huge. They recognize that they're shipping to Canada (outside the EU) and you don't have to pay the associated fees. Shipping was as fast or...

    Around a While

    Hi, I live in Ajax and have been lurking around for a while now, enjoying what I read. Although new to this forum, I've been around and riding for quite a while. My first street bike (at the age of 15) was a '56 Harley. In those days there was no motorcycle licensing in Ontario and you could...
