You pretty much hit all of the reasons why I refuse to set foot into the downtown TO area. And this is coming from a retired TTC employee who was required to drive around all transit serviced areas of the city for 38 years! I am thankful that I retired 13 years ago and was able to regain what...

When I heard some of the details about these two I thought it was just a matter of time before someone would try to kill the people responsible for screwing over their clients. The first new report noted that there were previous fraud charges and from the looks of it those charged were not...

If the bike is "written off" doesn't that mean that it would be branded as "salvaged" and can no longer be plated in Ontario? I'm not sure be that would seem to be the case.

Yesterday while driving around Orangeville I saw a guy riding a very nice Harley bagger and noticed he seemed to be missing something. No jacket, gloves, or helmet. No headgear of any kind. I must admit it took me back for a second or two and I was surprised to see someone blatantly out there...

I commuted from Orangeville to TO for over 25 years and often used my bike. When I retired, (about 13 years ago), the traffic on the 427/409/401 was already getting bad. There is no way in hell I would even consider your commute at this point in time. I hope you don't have too many years left...

I've actually used that route about five times so far this season on my way to work at the golf course. I only work two days a week and if there's no rain in the forecast I'll ride to work and take that route, or a slight variation of it.

Not exactly a day trip, just the route I took to work yesterday. Oh and I stopped for that photo of the horse on River Road. Although my pic doesn't show the horse as well as the one taken by Sunday Rider because it's hiding in the shadows. I'll have to try another time later in the day.

I've been meaning to stop and take a photo of that yard art for years. I have ridden past it at least 10 times this season, but next time I'm stopping.

Come on, 27 is not that old. And yes, we really like our ST's. Why replace something that is fun to ride and does everything you need without a problem.

Photos please.

That sidecar rig has been there for a couple of years now. The owner decorates it seasonally. Lights on it over Christmas and a pair of skeletons during Halloween. It looks like a Honda Four, but I'm not sure. I'm going to stop and have a closer look next time I ride by.

And Friday night is Cruise Night for cars and trucks. Both events are worth attending. There are bands playing at a few locations along Broadway, as well as down Mill Street. Food trucks, free entertainment and a great destination for a ride.

Similar story here as well, although it happened on my first motorcycle when (unknown to me) the laces got tangled in the footrest. I couldn't get my foot down when I stopped and just fell over. Although it's kind of funny when I think back, I will never ever wear boots with laces when I ride...

I've tried that turn once or twice, and yes that can be very difficult/dangerous due to the speed of SB traffic coming down Caledon Mountain. The added bonus at that location is the number of loaded gravel trucks hurtling downhill. Since I'm a person that looks to avoid that kind of danger I...

WHEN he gets back into drinking/drugs behind the wheel, then that's on him. FTFY

Because it's where there is a great deal of speeding, dangerous driving and passing using the centre left turn lane. There is also a higher than average accident rate along the entire section from Brampton to north of Orangeville. This strikes me as odd, because I drove this road when it was...

I stopped doing fall oil changes years ago. My winterization now consists of putting stabil in a full tank, plugging in the battery tender and putting the cover over the bike. Last season I put on less than 3000 km after the last oil change, so the full synthetic oil was still relatively fresh...

Also, remember that the entire section of 20th Side Road / River Road had a speed limit reduction a couple of years ago. The portions that were 70 or 80 kph over near Airport Road are now 60 kph and the rest is now 50 kph from just east of Terra Nova, west through Kilgorie and up to Prince of...

Finally got around to doing the oil change on the bike yesterday. Then a nice ride as my reward.

Years ago I altered my commuting route from Highway 10 and began to use Gore Road down to the 427 in order to avoid both 10 and the 410. That worked for a long time, right up until Brampton expanded all the way over to Highway 50. We now only go down to Brampton to visit family on weekdays and...
