It was a beautiful day today! I only did a little round the block of just over 300 km (Port Perry to Bewdley to Cambellford, to Cobourg to Port hope and mainly back roads to home.) Most of the time the temperature hovered around 19c with one time it hit 21c. Beautiful riding weather! Saw lots...

Rode in to work today. Balmy -7 when I left home in Port Perry. On my ride in to work I briefly saw a motorcycle heading northbound on Baldwin in Brooklyn. I was southbound. Like most riders my brain is tuned to seeing bikes but this bike just seemed to appear out of nowhere. I didn't really...

Why would you let it idle for 10 minutes? Is it an older carb bike that doesn't run right until warmed up? ..Tom

Strangest thing I saw yesterday was a peddle bike (didn't look electric) pedalling away across the ice. ..Tom

I rode to work today (downtown Toronto). Saw a sport bike heading north on DVP at around 9:15 am. (I was southbound) Don't know what brand of bike but I think it was red (I'm somewhat colour blind) so probably a Honda. .. Tom

I went out for a little ride today (only about 150km) Met up with @85K100 at Timmies in Sutton. I took a photo from the Malone rd viewing point that we were talking about previously. I did see someone riding in Port Perry and someone else riding closer to Sutton but don't recall where. It's...

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 know it's splitting hairs but I think the right of way was parallel to Lorne and slightly to the east of Lorne, maybe around 10 or 20 feet. before it veered to the east to the wharf. I knew there was an ice house but not where it was located. I'm pretty sure Grand Trunk took over the...

Based on Google Maps It looks like the street there isn't Lorne St as that goes right by it up to Malone. I don't see a name on the turnoff that goes to the boat launch (where I took my photo.) ..Tom

If you are saying I was where the streetview photo was in my picture I posted earlier, you are mistaken. My picture was taken at Jackson's Point Harbour . The Streetview was by the Malone Rd. Viewing point. Next time I'm up there I'll take a picture from the viewing point on Malone Rd. Hard...

Was looking at my records. By March 3 2024 I had ridden over 3,200 km year to date. This year a bit over 110 km. What a different winter it's been! ..Tom

Glad I got some riding yesterday! This morning there was about a foot of wet fluffy snow on my car and roads from Port Perry down to 401 were very icy and snow covered. I only saw two cars in the ditch though. ..Tom

Thanks for the heads up about that observation point! Looks like a nice place to look and take pictures. Street view from Google Maps below. ..Tom

You got it! I'm attracted to that place and like taking a picture there early in the riding season. ..Tom

Got out for a little ride this afternoon. Dug it out of the snow, took the cover off, removed the battery maintainer and topped up the air pressure. It started the moment I touched the starter button ride was barely around the block with about 110 km. Still was nice to get out for a bit! .. Tom
