Who's still riding? (Fall & Winter 2024 Edition)

Yesterday morning around 9:15 am I saw a 2012 generation Suzuki V-Strom westbound on Lakeshore somewhere east of Don Valley. Sadly I was driving. (:
I saw two youngsters squidding along hwy 7 on a Ninja 300 yesterday. Pouring rain, lane splitting and running about 80kmh thru 60kmh traffic.

Brought back some memories.
 
Next week is looking a bit promising. 🤞

Indeed. It seems like we at least escaped tons of new salt being thrown down in my direct neck of the woods with todays flash freeze, that would have sucked. I suspect they coated the 35/115 again though as there was snow blowing across it this afternoon.
 
Finally got enough snow melted/out of the driveway that the bike can squeeze by the truck without me having to pull one vehicle out to get to the other. Normal winter errands on two wheels should resume for the first time in a few weeks now that it isn't a two vehicle shuffle to go for a ride.
 
Yeah, and now the clock in the car will be telling the right time again.

Ugh, that reminds me - my 2007 Acura has a Y2K-like clock issue, so since 2021 I've had to disconnect power and reconnect at 1:00 (only clock I've ever seen that doesn't reset to 12:00). Apparently, the lastest navigation update DVD from 2023 is supposed to have a fix, but it's always out of stock.

"Honda’s head unit receives a GPS signal for date and time including a number representing a week, coded in binary. These digits count from 0-1024 and rollover to 0 after the completion of week 1024. Honda’s head unit supplier did not code their head units to account for the rollover and, on January 1, 2022, reverted to a date and time 1024 weeks in the past."
 
The sun was calling me yesterday so I had to go for a jaunt. At about -2 it wasn't a real long ride though.

At this point, I'd take a ride around the 'hood. Might just do that Monday after work.

I think our brand new Ioniq got mixed up on the time change as well as it started charging at 6PM last night instead of it's usual 7PM.
 
Went for a 5k spin today. Chilly!

I’m off to the North tomorrow for my winter vacation. I did my part for Team Canada by switching from boating to sledding, fishing the Gulf of America from Fort Myers to fishing the Matagami in Timmins.

Gonna miss next weeks good motorcycling weather in the GTA.
 
Somebody was out riding a little Kawasaki at 3:00 this morning on Stouffville Rd., in a raging snow storm. After smacking it up he left it on the side of the road for the entire day. That's his mirror on the road behind it. My ride is in the background.

There was a snowstorm today?
 
Yes. We had most of it cleaned up before most people woke up. That happens a lot.
No doubt...I'm south west of there so i don't really get the same weather forecast i suppose..but yeah. had no idea!
 
Went to start the bike, fired up right away. I didn't bother with battery tender, or fuel stabilizer. Seems good to go if tomorrow is nice. Me not sure if I remember what I need to do to ride it....
