    Dyno rd/ #9 and Monck rd road cond?

    The last time I was on Monck Rd, it was super bumpy and not worth riding. But if you are up in the area and remember Lower Faraday Rd, they repaved it a few years ago and it's quite nice now.

    That sounds like my experience too:) I'll go fish them out to confirm what I have and they are yours.

    I used to think like this when it came to changing tires. Now I believe in having someone else do it. Have a set of barely used tire irons if anyone else wants to believe in themselves. Might even have some of those plastic rim protector's too.

    West end shop I go to for tire swap is KMM - located very close to Derry/Kennedy. Simple - no nonsense shop. https://maps.app.goo.gl/R9j3AdZVbQvwwDRJ7

    Did you exercise today?

    There’s a good studio called Modo Yoga in Sheridan Mall on Erin Mills, not too far from you. My wife teaches there and I’m going 2-3 times a week. It makes a huge difference in posture, mobility, and strength among many other things. Sitting at a desk for most of my work days is very poor for...

    A ride to Wilno for a feed of Golabki & Pierogies

    I really liked their peirogi's - thinking about them makes my mouth water:) And that's a great collection of riding roads in that area, including that Opeongo and Letterkenny combo that you took south of Wilno.

    Why are cruisers so darn cheap?

    Now that's a blast from the past:) When I first started riding I wanted to be a cruiser guy. Half helmet, cig in the mouth, but forgot to add the tassels. Rode a Virago 1100 around for a couple years and then tried out a VFR750 which was so much better and never looked back.

    2026 Rides

    Long rides in a straight line kill me. Curvy roads on the other hand... Enjoy the Gaspe trip - I loved that area and preferred it to Cabot Trail.

    Thunder Bay In September Ride

    I did it in September 2011 and the weather was all over the place. We did mostly camping. Took the Trans Canada there and then we scooted along Ranger Lake Rd to the 129 up to Chapleau and then across the 11 from there. Was a great trip and on your bike, you will have a blast. Lots of places to...

    Hotel / motel in / AirB&B near Grand Bend for Racer5 track days

    Do you have a powerbank of any kind? I have a few I use to keep all my devices charged when I'm travelling. And even easier if you are sleeping in your car - as long as it has and outlet of some kind n it.

    Asphalt is not your friend today

    I have a blue Yamaha plate which was using before this bolt on kickstand plate. Even though I'm not fat or old, I don't bend over for nothin, so I had a coiled, hi-viz tether cord with a loop on one end that goes around the handlebar or anything on the left bar. So as I get on the bike, I just...
