I'm looking for another sled, been about 15 years since I sold my MachZ. That machine was a hoot, made the run from Keswick to Barrie in less than 15 minutes. Been a while, the next one will be for deep snowy trails, prefer light, comfortable -- doesn't need to be fast.
Others worried about getting infected can control their own risk by not going out.
Ah yes the goalposts have moved now, instead of keeping people out of the hospital now it's about keeping them out of the hospital ever. If it means bankrupting our economy and saddling young people like me with tons of debt, then no thanks. Let people assess their own risk and make their own decisions. If you're deathly afraid of catching the bug - stay home.
We don't know a lot of things. It doesn't mean we should just arbitrarily lock things down. There is a cost for that which we are starting to see now, for example here is a data point:

Don't they need to be fast to work on open water?
It depends what your risk tolerance is. A buddy and I were playing around in the water to get a feel for it in case we ended up wet by accident. In an old 540 (<60hp), it would dig in and the waterline was just behind your heels and it was stable there but terrifying and not much wiggle room. On a tuned 700 triple(~150 hp), it would stand up and take off like a rocket (it was like your studded bike video). That was much more fun and confidence inspriring.
Self entitlement is almost worse than Covid19.And you have a huge dose of it.You and those like you are the reason this is going to last a long time.Others worried about getting infected can control their own risk by not going out.

Speaking of the rules...which rules are we going by? They seem to change all the time. In March - May it was about keeping the hospital curve low. Well, we were under even the model's best case scenario so that was good.
Now we're at 1/6 of what we were at the spring peak...and we're back to closing things again. We've also been at ~800 cases provincially for almost a month. Any sign the new measures are going anything against the case count? Nope.
Sounds a lot more like "I'm at risk and don't want to go out, therefore no one should be able to." About wanting to play -- I'm not asking to open nightclubs or anything like that. But wanting to go the gym and not spend the entire winter cooped up in a 700 sqft apartment doesn't seem totally unreasonable. Also tell the small restaurant owner that they're "wanting to play" by wanting a chance of staying in business this winter. Or all the other small businesses that won't survive this thing due to government imposed lockdowns. They're just selfish right?

Cremation data study finds up to 1,600 excess deaths during spring lockdown
A new study of cremation data from Ontario detected nearly 1,600 more deaths than previous years through the first five months of 2020, even when accounting for all known victims of COVID-19 during that time.
We also know the substance abuse, suicides, and drug problems are also much higher than in previous years. Is it worth the cost?
Anyway I'm tired of debating it. You live your life, I'll live mine. See you on roads out there sometime.
This is the issue I find currently on the general....I’ll keep living my life and if I get sick too bad I’ll deal with it. Minimal concern for the rest of society because they’re not me, and their needs/risks/challenges are their problem and not mine.

Hopefully he recovered and had insurance spun up already. Otherwise cost per km was very high.
Tree, car, truck, wall. post?
He had his legal Is crossed and Ts dotted. OHIP covered his broken leg
It sounds like that's the only thing that will drill it into your head that it's not just about you. If it takes people getting saddled with tons of debt to hammer the message into them (that most everyone else understands), oh well. Sorry, not sorry.
The pot needs to go out shopping for another non essential motorcycle.
Rexall and douggie are in a PR battle. The province told Rexall how many shots they were getting and rough delivery schedule. Rexall apparently said yes to everybody that wanted a shot and then dropped the axe once they ran out and blamed the province for supply issues.
