You got it! I'm attracted to that place and like taking a picture there early in the riding season. ..Tom

Got out for a little ride this afternoon. Dug it out of the snow, took the cover off, removed the battery maintainer and topped up the air pressure. It started the moment I touched the starter button ride was barely around the block with about 110 km. Still was nice to get out for a bit! .. Tom

I'm sure you will love it there! Lots of Nice scenery and wonderful people! One thing that was different was that there are lots of (Huge!) potholes. They get fluorescent paint and highlight the potholes as there aren't enought people around to fix them. ..Tom

I went there back in 2018. Unfortunately my wife crashed her bike crossing a gravel bank, broke her foot and wrote off the bike. Total strangers took her to a medical facility, other strangers took her bike to a gas station/garage. People in Newfoundland/Labrador are wonderful! View from Quidi...

I had to move my bike to a different place in Port Perry. While it was only 8 minutes, technically I got my first ride of 2025. ..Tom

I got home from Calgary this morning around 4:30am (FLight was delayed) and didn't get to sleep until 5:30am. I intended to get up and ride in the morning but slept in late I managed to get out for a little ride this aft, barely around the block because radar was showing snow streamers around...

When I changed bikes it wasn't because the bike was worn out but because there were upgrades that appealed to me. The 2012 DL650 added ABS and I liked the dash info better than my 2006. The 2015 DL1000 added Traction control, the 2020 DL 1050 added cornering abs and to me ,very important, Cruise...

Thanks! ..Tom

Not really planning to get a new bike yet. It only has 250,000 km on it. :) There is first generation V-Strom DL1000 that has over 437,000 **miles** on it so should be some life left in mine. :) ..Tom

in 2024 I rode a total of 53,860 km (so far) at least 38,696 km was not commuting. About 15,164 km was commuting, probably a bit less. (I based these numbers on the dates I filled my tank so there is probably some error but its close.) ..Tom

I don't have much for spare time. When there isn't risk of ice and snow I commute to work on my bike, on my day's off (Sunday and Wed's) I almost always for for a little ride (I call it "round the block" and it usually is around 300 km sometimes more.) I did a few rides this year but nothing...

Still here. Just been crazy busy with work and changing my home address next month. Should have ridden today but busy packing and not feeling all that well. Last ride was last week, as of then I was at 53,860.00 km / 33,467 miles riding in 2024. My 2020 V-Strom DL1050 has 250,625.00 km...

I've only seen the odd Pan America in Ontario but seen a fair amount in southern Alberta, Montana, Wyoming etc. The riders of them out west that I spoke to were all doing trips with their PA's. Ie Alaska, Mexico, South America. Nice to see them using them that way. ..Tom

Okay then il pass and try next week. ..Tom

Thanks! What time? I won't know until Weds aft. ..Tom

Not even remotely! I don't like cold. I'm wimp. Heated gear makes it practical. ..Tom
