    Prince Edward Island / Îles de la Madeleine by Ferry

    I recall the ferry from Richmond over to Victoria didn’t require tie downs and might have even had tie down points. I just used a wheel chock and the kickstand, likely since the boats are very large, slow and gentle.

    How`s your house pricing doing?..

    I'm the same. Spent all our coin renovating the place so we could enjoy it for decades to come. Whenever the time comes to sell it and move elsewhere, it will just be icing on the cake if it's worth more than we paid. But the reality is that we like our home so much, that it will be hard to...

    How`s your house pricing doing?..

    I used this strategy to help stretch my Dad's investments, so that he could live in a retirement home for 5x longer than we originally anticipated. It helped that his TD advisor and his accountant were very much in his corner.

    Likewise and thanks @cutekill for the tickets. Nothing better than sitting on all kinds of bikes in the middle of winter. Also great to run into @PacoT and @STARSHIP - looking forward to some riding together this season:)

    The Toronto Motorcycle and Powersport Show - Feb 20-22 @ Exhibition Place

    This year I told a buddy I would help him hit the 1600km mark on the solstice ride, so I think it will be just me and him, since it's hard to keep a consistent pace for 17hrs with more than 2 people (I tried it 4 years in a row and failed every time). He rode with me last year and he covered...

    It’s amazing - you should ride there and spend a weekend. RIP and thanks for the legacy.

    I'm working in Scarberia on Friday, so thought I would grab some roti from a nice shop off Kingston Rd, then hit the show for a few hours in the afternoon on my way home.

    2026 Rides

    Did a school exchange thing. I stayed there for 2 weeks and had a kid my age from up there stay at my place for 2 weeks. I learned about sniffing glue up there - never knew it was a thing until then:) That was probably the introduction to my downward spiral lol.

    Very cool Mike. I stayed up in Attawapiskat for 2 weeks a long time ago. Quite the interesting place it was. Doesn’t look like much snow up there. How cold was it?

    Nice - hope this is a good show for you. If I can swing the time off in the summer, I want to ride the Rock. It's the last place in Canada I haven't been to that I'd like to visit. Or maybe back out to BC and spend a week riding around there in the late summer/fall. Besides that, I should...

    For real - that was probably one of the worst things I've ever come across on this forum.

    Where to get a puppy?

    You've met my dog - I never take him off leash in the neighbourhood because although he is very loyal and will stay near me, I don't trust him one bit to not take off and explore or get hit by a car. I do think he would be much better off leash if we were allowed to take him off leash from a...

    https://motocanada.com/shows/toronto/ Didn't see a post about this one yet and looking forward to going. The exhibitor list hasn't been released yet, but hoping a good selection of the manufacturer's represent. Last year I grabbed custom earplugs from Ontario Hearing Protection and they are...

    Cuba...

    I loved Cuba. And I liked the food! The people were kind and generous. Havana was really interesting. The only thing I didn’t like was my helmet which had a thick crack down the entire centre of the lid. It was so deep, I could pull the helmet apart into two. But I was wearing a tank top...

    COVID and the housing market

    I really like the condo we have next to Fort York. It's a nice building and will always be a magnet for being rented out because it's one of the older buildings in the area, but not too old. Mortgage is very little and we have a great long term tenant who in turn pays cheap rent. Maint fee is...
