I'm long past the "good old days" of wanting to get to downtown Toronto. There is literally nothing that could be held in the downtown area that would compel me to try to travel there. The last time I tried was about 8 years ago and that experience cemented my option that the City has lost it's...

The previous Orangeville Council changed the default town speed limit to 40 kph. However, they left a few main streets at 50 kph. At the time one councillor was quoted as saying it should be painful to drive across town. These are the kind of people who get elected and then try to implement...

I get a virus warning that your link could be impersonating the real webpage so I won't open it. Resistance is futile because the Province holds all the cards regarding plate and owner details. They could just shut down access to plate information for any speed camera requests for information...

Registered mail will not necessarily end up at your door. All the carrier has to do is say they tried to deliver and no one was there to sign. It will eventually end up at a Post Office, or in our case a depot located in a Shoppers Drug store, and now you need to go there to pick it up, rather...

Sometimes there's a reason for your licence suspension, In this case it was to protect himself from himself!

That depends on where you live. It's one of the few advantages of living in Orangeville, you are much closer to a great variety of nice bike roads. I rarely ride south to The Forks anymore because the 50 kph limit is a buzzkill and it's just too busy. I completely avoid riding through there in...

The camera on Alder will be west of Ridell (by-pass) and there is no school on that section. It is my hope that some of the proponents of this installation will be the first to receive tickets. I rarely use either of those streets, but those who live in the area have no other way to or from...

I'd love to see this! Orangeville is in the process of installing two cameras which, according to their own studies, are unwarranted. This is purely for political points with a certain neighbourhood that our Deputy Mayor once lived in. The previous council dropped the town-wide limit from 50 kph...

Was up there on Wednesday (10) and still closed. It's supposed to re-open on the 18th. On the bright side Hockley Road is now open between Airport Road and the Village.

Boring motors is not a bad thing. My Honda just clicked over 200K km. All original.

Do these geniuses realize that speed humps and chicanes do absolutely nothing to slow a motorcycle? Stand on the pegs to absorb the humps and chicanes hardly require any evasive action, while making a boring road a little more entertaining.

Surprisingly at 70 I'm usually good to ride until my bike needs a fuel stop, which is typically around 450 km. Grab a drink, hit the washroom and refuel and I can be off again until I reach my destination. I think a lot has to do with the Corbin saddle on my ST, which is very comfortable and...

I renewed my 5x7 ski pass at Blue back in March to get the best price. Last week I was in a local ski shop to see if they had anything of interest on sale from last season's inventory. My current skis are 2013 models (bought in 2014), so I'm thinking it might be time for an update.

At least 80% of Brampton gets tested here in Orangeville. G2 Exit doesn't require a road test on a road with a speed limit above 80kph. Then they head down the 410. Never wonder why the traffic on the 410 is what it is!

I think it might be the detour suggestion when you approach from the east. I've been using this road ever since I discovered it had been completely paved between 10 Sideroad and Terra Nova about 15 years ago. There's a couple of sharper corners near the north end that tend to have gravel kicked...

Up Second Line from 10 Sideroad? That's one of my favourite rides!

Shane must really like you to put up with all those changes to his ride:D. You guys went up to cottage country on a holiday Monday?! That's something I would avoid at all costs. I did a ride with him years ago (May 2016) and we stopped lake side and ate our lunches we were told to bring along...

You have to pick and choose the time and the days you ride Airport Road. I usually just use Airport Road to get between the east/west roads that I find fun to ride. It typically moves at 15 to 20 over and experiences extreme traffic volumes on Friday evenings northbound and Sunday afternoons in...

And a heads up, the detour via Sideroad 15 is all gravel. Better to use Sideroad 5 to the south of Hockley as it's paved.

I don't know what they expect to get. The rejected offer looked pretty good to me. Every Union on the planet seems to dislike part-time workers, but if your membership doesn't want to work OT or weekends, that's where the part-times would be useful as a second shift. It will be interesting to...
