    Ride Saturday July 16th 2022 - Wiarton via shore roads / Gray Road 1

    Flexible, I was thinking of leaving around 9am. Not too cold, not too hot. Enough time to get up there, bum around, and head back before the Saturday crowd returns to the city.

    Ride Saturday July 16th 2022 - Wiarton via shore roads / Gray Road 1

    I guess it really depends on what you're into. I found the road very peaceful to drive down, always wanted to come back on a motorcycle. Yeah I noticed that too while driving through a few times. Could be the wind blowing across the bay. Pretty frosty swimming in it, I imagine wind blowing over...

    Ride Saturday July 16th 2022 - Wiarton via shore roads / Gray Road 1

    If I incorporate some of Sochi's recommendations, it's doable. Adds an hour to the ride on the way up but I may just take Hwy 10 back if I find that I won't make it back in time for dinner. Or just leave earlier in the day... 🤷‍♂️

    Ride Saturday July 16th 2022 - Wiarton via shore roads / Gray Road 1

    Added to the list! Was planning on having a light breakfast so this might be my first food stop. It'd be the second butter tart I've ever tried.

    to the riders who passed me with a thumbs up yesterday on 401

    I'm sitting here, anxious, thinking about doing this on a 800cc cruiser... I tip my hat to you.

    Ride Saturday July 16th 2022 - Wiarton via shore roads / Gray Road 1

    Hey folks, planning to ride out to Wiarton this Saturday, I'll post my intended route and itinerary below. If anyone is interested in joining, do let me know. My wife is going in for surgery next week so I won't be able to stray too far away from home for a couple of months while she's in...

    Massive internet outage Jul 8 2022

    This feels like a attack rather than a failure. BGP hijacking has happened before and looking at the CloudFlare findings so far, it seems possible that this is the case. The internet is built on cooperation between various autonomous systems (AS), think of them as individual countries. The...

    Massive internet outage Jul 8 2022

    I had this feeling too, but this isn't the first time in recent memory that Rogers has had a massive outage. Could have been an attack back then as well.

    Massive internet outage Jul 8 2022

    I'm on "Rogers" for the day, occasionally tethering off of my phone :sneaky:... Definition: Actually on Bell but only responding to emails when when the guilt builds up, planning my weekend ride in between. Unethical? Perhaps... Damn does it feel good though.

    Cheap motorcycle to own (advice)

    Gear > bike, you can bust your head open on a bicycle. I had good luck with Five/Revit for gloves, being preformed helps with holding the grips or engaging controls. Palm sliders on my Five gloves already saved my wrists twice. Boots with ankle protection did the same for my ... ankles...

    To be masked or not to be masked

    If there's one thing I appreciate about wearing a non-N95 mask is that it was great for the last two years with my seasonal allergies. I could cycle and walk around through the worst of the pollen season without clogged sinuses and bloodshot eyes. I also think they're great to wear for those...

    To be masked or not to be masked

    Science seems to think so: Is there any reproductive future left for men? Coming soon: Making babies... without sperm?

    Octane

    I was curious about this on my 2.5 NA, it's still a relatively high compression engine, I'm wondering if the engine can take advantage of the higher octane fuel. A few places seem to hotly debate (as is tradition) the benefits of higher octane, and I'm thinking of just trying it out and logging...

    Casual Ride in Mississauga 2/July/2022

    Sorry to have missed you. The practice session this morning was in Mississauga, would have been cool to have met up.

    Weekend Practice - West End / Brampton

    Measuring tape would be good, I have 5 but somehow keep forgetting to bring one when I need it. 10am sounds good and this time I won't be getting lost 😅...

    Weekend Practice - West End / Brampton

    Oh that'll be fun, I suck at figure 8s. I was thinking Saturday morning, since this is all slow speed stuff, the cooler weather will help. Plus there's a slight chance I may be hung-over Sunday morning so not ideal.
