litter everywhere.

It's unfortunate that people are ********. One thing I do seem to remember about Leitchworth is that I think it's a "Carry in, carry out" park where you're supposed to lug your own trash out and dispose of it elsewhere, so there are no trash cans anywhere in the park. Long ago this worked when people weren't all ********, but predictably now, it's going as one would expect with todays entitled jerk populace rapidly growing - Even if there's a garbage can 10 feet away some idiots will just drop their garbage on the ground now.

For me it was the Vintage bike show in Paris, I had never been before. It was a fun ride and cool bikes, also met GTAM member @adv_round. Also the photo tag was great for getting to some places I never rode in and some new roads.

Attended a couple good rallies. Paris and the Bad Living roadshow.
The cabin rental and riding in Caliboogie was also good fun even with my blown rad.
Getting to hang off a sidecar on the Grand Bend track has to be close to the top.
That all said ripping down gravel in the mud a couples days ago, not far from home, was good fun too.

Great ride! We'll do a whole bunch more next season!



Ya they're a bit shy. Their bikes are always in their pictures, just not them.

I also rode with those guys last summer, along with a bunch of other GTAMers. Here's one with all their bikes together...

Mr Burns bike is on the far right, and mimico_polo's bike is in the middle. I think that's Shane's bike on the left and MM's bike is the one one next to it. Is that yours next to that one...?

GTAM group rides are the best!

WTH I thought I was the only one with that colour, dam it!

Barcelona to Monaco and then back again. Did a bunch of the mountain roads and toured around a little bit. Good times. I ended up dropping my rented bike on the last day.. lol... thankfully full insurance options checked off..

Whoa that sounds pretty amazing, did you have a GPS. I've driven around Spain and it wasn't easy to use just street signs. Curious where you rented from? Or did you bring your own bike?

It’s like asking “Hey, have you seen my friend on the black Harley?” at Sturgis or Port Dover on Friday the 14’th.

At least with a KLR the milk crates are different colours.

B and I spent a weekend in the Finger Lakes. Stopped at the Tryals Shop in Locke NY to buy new gear. Buttermilk Falls, Watkins Glen etc etc. Letchworth State Park sucks.

Was originally my only reference to this location, until I realized it was close to Toronto. I keep hearing it's a great place to visit. Had a hike trip planned but it fell apart. Someday I will have to go check it out.

It's a nice area, plan to spend a few days visiting the little towns at the top and bottom of all the individual lakes. Not a spectacular riding area IMHO, but not terrible either, and there's nice scenic spots.

Don't miss the canyon walk at Watkins Glen, it's epic, and it's free amazingly enough.

I have to go to Europe for work related reasons several times per year, so I've gotten to know the area. I do have a Garmin Zumo XT2, as well as full data on my phones so I never really get "lost" I rented from a local place, there are a ton of choices for bikes there. I am a member at Eaglerider so I do use them whenever they are local to where I am at. You just have to watch your speed because there are speed cameras EVERYWHERE.. lol

Nice. I usually get a local SIM to use google maps with so I can get around places. But BCN I'm quite familiar with and walk mostly.
The time I did rent a car I got a speeding ticket on the highway going from Seville back to Barcelona. Got it in the mail, never paid for it....

Here is what I have, actually 2 places:

I've been to Campbellford a bunch of times, I've looked around, saw the Toonie and other things but never noticed this bakery. It was awesome!

Rumour has it, they're waiting for you at every Spanish airport still ..

Didn't get out of the province but managed to get out to a couple rallies, watched some CSBK at both Mosport and GB, and then a week up in Caliboogie.
All good, hard pressed to pick a fav.

I think you mentioned the Paris rally, and someone else, might be worth checking out if I can get that way.
