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...

That section just west of Airport Road was recently reduced from 70 kph to 50 kph due to resident complaints. The section between 10 and the gravel pit entrance is also a heavily patrolled 50 kph and school zone. My last ticket in my car was in 2020 on Hockley Valley Road near the church across...

My last ticket was in September 2020 in my car. This was in the first year of Covid, so going to court was not really an option at that point. The officer had reduced the speed to 15 over and since there were no points involved, I just paid the ticket online. There was no effect on my car...

I will continue to shop where I find the best specials. If Zehrs/No Frills has what I need for the best price, that's where I'm going. We don't have many choices here in Orangeville (Zehrs, No Frills, Sobeys, Freshco, Metro and Walmart). It takes just a few minutes to drive between any of them...

I retired 13 years ago and can count on one hand how many times I have driven back into downtown TO since then. The last time was for an Elton John show at the ACC in September 2018 and by the time we got to the venue and finally into the building we had missed the first few songs! We had left...

Last weekend we hit a tile store, Stone Road Mall and the Royal Tent sale. There are also a few nice roads between here and there so the drive or ride is nice as well.

It should be no surprise that they pay the highest vehicle insurance premiums in the Province. Between the new drivers who come up to Orangeville to get licensed, the aggressive drivers and blatant fraudsters, it's a wonder any company would insure want to do business in that city. We used to...
