    The Bad Drivers of Ontario Thread

    I also aced my bike test at the 401 / Keele back in 1973. I took mine on a 100cc Kawasaki enduro, so it was very easy:D. A few months later I bought a BSA 650 Lighting.

    The Bad Drivers of Ontario Thread

    This has been going on for decades, nothing new here move along. The report says 42% of road tests in Orangeville are by Brampton drivers. I would have thought it was higher by the number of Brampton Driving School vehicles I see around town. We've lived in Orangeville for over 30 years. When...

    Who's still riding? Fall & Winter 2022 (& 2023!) edition!

    Looks like a whole lot of fun, but don't let that video get into the hands of your local law establishment because that's clearly HTA 172 territory!

    Private members bill to ban passing across double line

    Yes, currently pavement markings alone in Ontario are insufficient to mark a "No Passing" zone. To make passing illegal they must be accompanied by a proper black on white overhead sign.

    Who's still riding? Fall & Winter 2022 (& 2023!) edition!

    Yesterday was just too nice to not go for a ride! What a beautiful day for November 16th. I think we had snow on the ground last year at this time. I took a little 104km loop to the north and found myself at Terra Nova. That might have been my final ride of the season, we'll see.

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    Yes, at Hockley all returning operators go through a refresher on the operation of all lifts and practice manual evacuation of the chairlift. This is necessary because it is the lift operators responsibility to manually evacuate guests from a disabled chairlift. I believe it's a TSSA...

    Who's still riding? Fall & Winter 2022 (& 2023!) edition!

    That route includes some of my favourite roads. If you've never ridden River Road you will like it. Just be aware that the speed limits have been reduced to 60 and 50 kph along most of it and during the summer months it is heavily patrolled on the weekends. My favourite route is below. I go...

    Who's still riding? Fall & Winter 2022 (& 2023!) edition!

    Sorry, I used the wrong name for the game, it's actually the "A to Z" game, but there's also a Tag game where you take photos of landmarks with the bike in the shot, which I think GTA also does. With the Tag game you need to post a photo of the old location and a new location to move the Tag...

    Who's still riding? Fall & Winter 2022 (& 2023!) edition!

    I've rarely see another red ST1100 while out riding, likely because it's over 20 years old. It was great to ride together along Hockley Road and CR 1 over to Tottenham Road. BTW, I picked up the N, O and P for the Tag Game over on that other Forum. Here's my route and a photo at the N that I...

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    I put the ST to bed for the season yesterday after a nice 132km ride. It was a tad cool, but not too bad. I am hoping for maybe another ride before the end of the month, but not holding my breath. In just over a week from now I have our recertification for returning lift operators and most of...

    Red Light ticket ouch!

    I never clean my plate on my car in winter. When I clean the snow off the hood, roof, windows, mirrors and lights, I somehow forget to give the plate a wipe. As a result the rear plate is usually covered in a mixture of snow and slush that builds up quickly on these hatchback CUV's. Sorry...

    when does the salt start?

    I had already put Stabil in the tank before my last ride on the 23rd. I topped it up again when I filled up at the end of the ride. I hope to get in a couple more rides before the snow comes for the winter and always bring the Stabil with me to replenish the tank when I stop to refuel. I was...

    when does the salt start?

    I change over to winter tires in mid-October every year. I've been caught before so now I just make sure they are on before Halloween. Still hoping for a day or two of riding weather before I put the ski racks on the car.

    when does the salt start?

    And good theft / loss of use insurance I presume. With the ever increasing theft of vehicles from driveways, keeping your vehicles out of sight is another bonus of being able to park inside the garage. If they don't see it they won't try to steal it.

    The same idiots who are responsible for JT!

    when does the salt start?

    I also went for a little ride yesterday afternoon because of the lengthy frost delay at the golf course. Beautiful day to ride and no issues with traction.

    when does the salt start?

    I really hate taking the time to clear ice and snow off my car in the winter and unnecessarily idling the car makes no sense to me. As a result it's very important for me to be able to fit both my bike and car in the garage. Our last townhouse only had a single car garage, but there was still...

    Does Toronto actually have a plan?

    Yes, but look at what they had to work with...the vast majority of council is either Liberal, or NDP and it has been this way for at least 40 years!
