    Canada Post - Huge losses

    That used to happen to us on a regular basis at our last house. The superbox that served our 41-unit townhouse development was rather small and didn't have the larger package areas like some newer boxes. Since the majority of people in that area worked outside of their home, I expect that the...

    Speed camera update (Sept.11)

    Please let us know which Essa Sideroad this is. I've ridden through this area many times and have never seen a camera. I'm fully expecting Mono Council to declare Hockley Road a community safety zone and stick cameras in the newly created 50 kph areas on either side of Airport Road.

    The Bad Drivers of Ontario Thread

    We lived there for 10 years. Bought our first two homes in the "G" section. Got out of there in 1991 and never looked back. Sister in-law still lives there so we have to occasionally visit.

    The Bad Drivers of Ontario Thread

    Just another reason to avoid driving in, through, or near Brampton. They must be raking in the $$$ with the quality of driver I've seen from that City.🤣 Trying to get through there on the 410 is an exercise in self preservation.

    Haven't heard or seen that one. Post up a sample if you can.

    Wow, I thought it would take longer than that! Not all heroes wear capes. Bravo to those involved.

    Darksiders beware...

    A few years ago I was on a ride with another online group that consisted of Honda ST's, FJR's and BMW's and was following an FJR rider with a car tire. He was riding two-up and I had a good view of how the bike performed on a very twisty road. I was genuinely impressed at how well his bike...

    The Bad Drivers of Ontario Thread

    And yet somehow the driver of the SUV will likely be blamed for this collision and possibly sued by the cyclist. Traffic controls are there for everyone, including cyclists. If you disobey the posted signs and signals you risk the consequences of your actions. Fortunately in this case the only...

    Canada Post - Huge losses

    Who wouldn't like a 22% to 42% raise? It doesn't say if this is per year or over a few years. In any event, this issue might just end DHL Express operations in Canada. All those customers the Union says depend on their service will be looking elsewhere to ship their products. I expect the union...

    River Rd (Horning's Mills) road closure

    I saw that sign a few weeks ago and meant to post. You will still be able to use the portion of River Road between Prince of Wales and Morning's Mills.

    Friday The 13th Port Dover

    I was there once back in 2012. We rode into town and just found a spot on the street near the main drag. We wandered up and down the street looking at the bikes, grabbed a bite to eat and I bought a nice embroidered golf shirt. BTDT, no need to do it again. Same goes with Americade, we were...

    Weird ride today

    Wild fire smoke was pretty thick up here as well. Rode up to Creemore yesterday and from the top of the escarpment near Glen Huron you could hardly see Wasaga Beach.

    Orangeville Blues and Bikes Event

    While that is mostly true, here's a few examples from a couple of years ago that caught my eye.

    Orangeville Blues and Bikes Event

    Here's a couple of photos from a few years ago. The Sunday bike event seems to get larger each year. As long as the weather holds it should be a great day to come and looks at the bikes and listen to music.

    The Bad Drivers of Ontario Thread

    That's one of the reasons I refuse to drive into the City anymore. Other reasons are; the high concentration of clueless and distracted drivers, streets that are increasingly anti-car, construction closures, and political interference that actually makes driving worse. I don't care what's going...

    Strategy for fighting 3 tickets?

    Man that cop must of been having a really bad day to write those three tickets. From what I see daily on the roadways it seems to me that most cops don't give a rat's ass about these sort of infractions.

    Orangeville Blues and Bikes Event

    And if you're into old cars and hot rods, Friday evening is the Cruise Night for them. It's always a great way to spend a few hours wandering around looking at the cars on Friday evening and the bikes on Sunday afternoon. Free live music along the street and food vendors as well.

    Motorcycle mistakes you only make once... and ones you make all the time...

    Steal what, the bike or just the key? I'm not worried about anyone wanting to steal my ST because of it's age and the fact that there is 198K km showing on the clock, so not enough value for a thief. However, I would be worried that some jerk would take the key and then I couldn't ride home...

    Speed camera update (Sept.11)

    I found it particularly funny the time they tossed it in the pond! That time I'm sure it took more than merely reattaching the camera to the pole. Years ago when I worked for the TTC, Parkside was a posted 50kph zone. It was my experience that traffic moved along at a speed close to that...

    Me + Open Road

    Must be a work related move. Why else would anyone choose to relocate from either the Kawarthas or Sudbury.:unsure: There are quite a few good bike roads down your way. Check some of the posts on here for some suggestions. I usually ride north from Orangeville when I want to relax. I worked in...
