I know a few Strommers who went from the 650 or 1000 to the triple of the Tracer9 and said the Yammie was an infinitely more fun bike to ride than either of those Stroms. If not going off road - the Yammie would be my choice from your list, or the base model 1050 Strom. I've personally found...

The only road that had any sand on it was 504 through Coe Hill. The 511 and 508/65 were amazing. Just after the hard packed gravel on South Lavant, there is still a short section that is the old pavement, but the whole new section that was recently repaved was very nice and well worth the...

I was on South Lavant Rd today and the western 5km is hard packed gravel. Very easy for any kind of bike and worth riding over it to enjoy the huge portion that was repaved over the last few years. The 509 between Hwy 7 and South Lavant was fine, so maybe the western part of it has some road work.

You are welcome to join:) Meeting one other at the petro pass off Bowmanville at 7:30. Heading up to Calabogie and back. https://maps.app.goo.gl/qdxNcXisaWQwMXCf7?g_st=a

Haven't been on one proper ride yet this year. Anyone interested in going north, or northeast tomorrow? Nothing super long - thinking somewhere around 800km. I'd like to be home by 6pm. PM or post up if interested!

Thanks - this is a day ride, starting from my buddies cottage and then helping another buddy hit the 1000mile mark. So not planning on stopping very much:)

Thanks! Been over 10 years since I was up near Mattawa, so looking forward to it. And I always pass by the Elliot Lake area on the TC, but never head up that way, so that will be a new one for me.

Hey Mike have you been up towards Aubrey Falls or around Elliot Lake area at all recently? I'm thinking of heading up there and wondering how the TransCanada and the southern portion of the 129 are. Here's the route: Google Maps

Now it's worth the extra time and distance:) https://maps.app.goo.gl/DJwaQ6ZFATxtCbcc8

I love moto camping and wish I did it more often. Lately when I go on trips with others, the people I’m with prefer to stay in motels so we don’t camp. Motels are great for saving space, weight and time, but there’s something equally great about sleeping outdoors and waking up to the sound of...

Planning a few rides over the next month to include the Frontenac, Calabogie, Algonquin, Haliburton and Muskoka areas. Curious if any of the good roads are under construction or maybe got especially beat up this past winter. Thanks!

Hey @Mad Mike how are the roads up there right now? I have a work thing that might take me up there for a night in a week or two and debating if I should ride up if I should go.

I'm still using it and love it. Several years I ago I spent $99 for a lifetime gold membership and it was such a great offer for such a feature reach program. I have a library of routes of my past trips saved in it and I can access them from anywhere, including my phone since it's web-based...

All my early longer rides learning the roads were done this way and I would use a ruler to figure out how many km to my next turn point and include that in my turn by turn list. So many small 'Y' intersections were never in the map books, so I always got lost and had to double back. A 6hr ride...

Thanks for the post and reminder! I’m down for a pancake breakfast one of these days and this could make for a good stop on a Calabogie ride for us paved roads folks.

I’m fine with whatever and look forward to whatever is decided. Someone can walk to the Burger Bros! Hope the weather cooperates!

Just checked for next week and Leela's closes at 8pm.

Me too. It was good for a long ride where I'm not moving around much, but I also felt very disconnected from the feel of the ride if riding twisty roads.

Congrats on the bike @sburns ! Hope you get many miles of smiles on that ride:)
