37 DAYS TO RIDING SEASON THREAD

:) Nice riding out there right now. Just got back in, seeing more riders out too. Roads weren't bad just a few places with sand.
 
Went for my first ride this year just now. A quick 30 minutes around Streetsville to get the bugs out. said hello to a fellow biker at the lights and talked how beautiful the weather is today. You got a few hours of this great weather. now go enjoy it!

I saw a couple of motorcycles near Erin Mills/Brittania area about 30 mins back. Were you riding around that area?

First ride of the season today (first time I haven’t had at least a few rides throughout the winter). Took all of 30 minutes for an SUV to pull out of a driveway and force me to slam on the brakes, locking the rear, and miss a collision by inches. Be vigilant out there people. Otherwise a great ride

Use more of your front brake and that won't happen.

Yes. the other rider was the one i said hello to at battleford and erinmills. At the lights I pointed to a bike just passing through going south bound on erinmills

Yeah- quite a coincidence. I was there in my car on the opposite side, and was thinking I should be getting my motorcycle home from the dealership asap. Gorgeous weather today, and glad somebody enjoyed it on their motorcycle

Um, the more you use the front brake, the more you compress the forks. The more you compress the forks, the more the rear end lightens. That causes the rear brake to lock easier.
Congrats @SVeezy, good save and glad you're safe.

Years of dirt riding seems to have payed off this time

Glad I got out when I did. A couple weeks in the Caribbean and when I get back no more of these dirty tricks.

I had plans to ride over to a buddies and wrench a bit on the bikes... that wont be happening. Looks like I wont have her out again until Tuesday.


Maybe I'll do some slow parking garage laps.
