    What bike do you want today?

    Considering an adventure bike. Test road the 2014 DL650 VStorn , great ride and handling. Would like to compare it to other bikes in this class. Since my GS500F got hit in the parking lot and written off I cannot wait for for the demo rides to begin in 2015. Like to try before I buy. LOL

    Since I have to work, I plan to head to Dover from Oakville at 3 p.m. I did that last year and notice that traffic going west on the QEW was moving well. However, I did notice a number of motorbikes leaving Dover heading up HWY 6. Looked like a parade. LOL
