Well what better time to get going than when the going is getting tougher? Or perhaps, being thrown out on your arse because you squandered the best (last?) opportunity to grow the company beyond expensive, obsolete retiring-dentist cycles? Which was planned by the last guy. More likely, he...

Actually I picked it up yesterday. 1983 BMW r100rs. Original and unmolested Canadian bike with 46,000km, but shows a bit of age while being well kept. Original paint, and still has the manual, complete tool kit and roll and tire pump. Also came with side cases. I've looked at a handful of them...

Honda is bringing the NT1100 to Canada this year. I worked my fingers to the bone to make this happen by sending one polite email inquiry. I'm sure that was the deciding factor; overwhelming consumer demand. It's not even ridiculously expensive, nor is it a true first year model having been in...

This article by Canadian Zac K. 100% expresses what has been on my mind over the last few months. I have been looking for simpler, older bike for a while, one that's more of a daily rider than my Norton could be. I love riding, but am not smitten with any new offerings from any manufacturer...

But will they enforce it? Aside from e-bikes, now we have a variety of e scooters and powered skateboards vying for lane space. I passed a guy on a skateboard the other day who I clocked at 40kph, swooping and weaving on the road. Will the Ontario government ever even try to get control of the...

Nice looking bike. The steep rate gives it a flat tracker look similar to the Indian FTR. Would be an enjoyable companion on lightly travelled country roads. https://canadamotoguide.com/2024/08/01/royal-enfield-remixed-guerrilla-450-scrambler/

Some very sad news: https://canadamotoguide.com/2024/06/11/rip-motojournalist-max-burns/ I expect this is (another) generational thing, but I bought Cycle Canada for most of its magazine years, and Max's column was the first content I read. Not long after he left, I dropped my subscription. I...

Oh dear....

Everybody's releasing mid-sized adventure bikes. Good time to be shopping for one in the near future with so many choices. https://www.advrider.com/the-new-2023-suzuki-v-strom-800de/

Just a heads up. I know there's a handful of people here who go to the forest. From their home page: Attention: Ganaraska Forest, Ganaraska Forest Centre and all Conservation Areas are CLOSED! The weather system that swept through Southern Ontario on Saturday afternoon has resulted in...

I visit the linked blog regularly and his recent post blew me away. Owning and riding a bike for 40 years is remarkable on its own, but to have racked up 321,868.8 kilometers (200,000 miles) on a Katana is incredible. http://progress-is-fine.blogspot.com/2021/11/3218688-kilometers.html

What many have hoped for has finally happened. https://canadamotoguide.com/2021/03/17/marilynn-bastedo-longtime-ceo-of-canadian-motorcycle-association-retires/ Will the organization "open up", merge with MMIC, or just dry up and float away? And will anybody but a few of us care?

I'm certain somebody, (probably several somebodies) has experience bring a Quebec bike into Ontario, or perhaps there's already a thread you could point me to. The prices of used bikes seem to be considerably lower in Quebec (for what I'm looking for) than here in Ontario in general and the GTA...

Here's a good video recap of the 2018 Cord. Lots of on trail footage with commentary. A good reminder that winter will end someday. Very cool seeing the grandchildren of a couple the guys I recall from OCMC riding the Cord...

Plenty Apparently. https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/why-a-n-s-motorcycle-enthusiast-ended-up-selling-his-harley-and-scared-s-tless-after-trying-to-start-a-club

The thread about the CCM 450 which is sold here made me think. If a small company like them think it is worth it to get their bike through transport Canada so it can be road legal in Canada why can't other companies? For instance...
