Saw a blue Husky 901 Norden with a BC plate westbound on the 401 near Kennedy at around 12:45 pm yesterday. Mrs. @Lightcycle?

Haha, yes that was her!

This thread is hilarious. It always reminds me of this:

"I'm from Canada"
"Oh, do you know Bob? He lives in Canada too!"

Except this time, you did see Bob. On the 401!

 

[Relax]

But Bob no longer lives in Canada.


Sorry, inside joke that a few GTAMER's will get.

I know this is for spotting bikes but i saw a unique car yesterday.
An all black Holden R8 at the Marina on the east pier at Port Dalhousie.
Looked very similar to the one in this photo . A fantastic, lumpy exhaust tone.
A long shot but maybe someone here knows the car.

I had the North American version of that car, a 2019 Pontiac G8 GXP.

My cousin in the states had a Holden that was branded as a Pontiac GTO.

The tipoff for whether it's actually a Holden (difficult import) or a Pontiac G8 with badges swapped (easy) is which side of the car the steering wheel is on...

 

[85K100]

Apart from those two obvious differences, they are the same car. My cousin was a GM engineer.

As i rode past I was guessing some sort of Pontiac from the look of the front end but the VERY lumpy idle had me second guessing.
This one also had a manual transmission.

Means the engine has had stuff done.

Steering wheel on the right, or on the left?

Yeah my GXP also had a manual (only G8 that came with one) and a 6.2 L LS3 V8 but no lumpy idle so that one had a cam or a cam tune which can simulate the same sound at idle.

I flew to Nebraska and drove it back as the GXP trim never did come to Canada.

It was a right hand drive.
I'm not even much of a car guy but the Youtube rabbit hole of Holden has been fun.

This morning on Ontario St. in Beamsville, a Diavel, Aprilia and i believe a CFMoto?
Whatever pipe you have on the Ducati it sounds excellent!

@High Flya, was that you by Kennedy and Sheppard going south? Around 17:30.

That sounds about right. I think I went past a cruiser type, was that you?

Nope, I was in a car, but I know the cruiser type you mean. He hangs around the Tim Hortons plaza by Progress quite often.
