    State Farm got crazy (car)

    I left statefarm 2 years ago because of their price for auto insurance. I stopped by the statefarm office today to see if they could do any better on the pricing. I still have the same car I did back then and they want 2400$ to insure it, without collision. Right now I pay around 1300$ a year...

    Tuesday Oct 11. My one day trip.

    This sunday does look to be better weather. But with a high of only 13c, you can bet the heated grips will be on maximum.

    Tuesday Oct 11. My one day trip.

    Riding on the Thanksgiving weekend was a mixed bag of traffic, pedestrians, tourists........ I had the following Tuesday off of work, so I figured it would be a great time for a ride. The weather was perfect and no traffic at all. I had the whole route to myself. Here is a link to my ride...

    Tires tires Tires - what tires are best for touring?

    My bike is around 450lbs, around 100hp too. My riding style is mostly touring around, with a few spirited corners from the few we can find in southern Ontario. Needless to say, I don't ride the wheels off it, as you can tell. The PR2's performed really well on "the Dragon" the constant...

    Tires tires Tires - what tires are best for touring?

    I love my PR2's... I have to order another set over the winter. This set has seen Deals Gap and the BRP, and another trip to PA. The rest is all Ontario roads.

    Lake Placid

    I like your forum name. We did the Lake Placid tour last fall at this time. High Falls Gorge was nice to see in the morning. Call the base of Whiteface Mt before heading up the mountian. The people at the base will tell you what the visibility is like from the summit. 9N south to Lake...

    Road suggestions on way to catskill mountains

    Might want to post this in the cruising / touring section. There has been a lot of flooding in that area of the north east, might want to check that before you head out. cheers

    Ride Report: North Shore of Lake Superior and beyond

    Looks like a nice way to spend your long weekend. I remember Old Woman Bay from our cross-Canada drive (car) in 09, what a beautiful spot.

    Thank you West Virginia!

    Sounds like a great time in WV. We rode through the state on our way home from Deals Gap this year. We took 16 through Hungry Mother State park, then over to the 219. 16 was an amazing road, banked corners and all. I hope to make it back to West Virginia sometime this month. Might have to...

    Pilot Road 2 vs. Pilot Power 2CT

    Stick with the PR2's. I have 18,000 kms on my set. That includes a trip to the BRP and Deals Gap. Plus another weekend in PA. These tires rock. They have more than enough grip to handle the twisties. The compound they use for the center eats up Ontario roads.

    Tires tires Tires - what tires are best for touring?

    I have 17,000 kms on my PR2's. I figure I should get at least another 4k out of them.

    Amen, What a spokesperson for the riding community. No wonder all the bad press.

    Turn down the volume on your sportbike exhaust - Brampton - Stop ruing a good thing

    I live 500 meters from the intersection of Hwy 410 and Sandalwood Pkwy. We can hear cars and bikes that sound as loud as Formula One cars all the time, at all hours of the day. You are right, its only a matter of time until a law gets put in place that would restrict the db's.

    Close call ... glad to be here and typing

    I have been riding that road for many years. I have seen more than a few cagers run that stop sign. Scary indeed.

    Petra Ecclestone, please explain.

    Its just business. Bernie married a woman who was already rich. She doesn't need money, so perhaps he has all the other bits?
