For example
Im planning a ride from Bowmanville going to travel Lakeshore road east to Port Hope (that road had a rough winter btw). through Port Hope taking some country roads up to rice lake where I will follow twisty roads along the lake and up into Hastings. At that point I will ride the railway bed trail to Campbellford. Back on the road and east to Stirling. Back on the trail north into Marmora mine. For a lunch break. Then my ride will take me through a series of country back roads winding my way through Havelock, Norwood, Youngs Point, Bridgenorth, Omemee, Bethany, Ponty Pool, and back home.
There will be twisties, there will be hwy, there will be dirt, there may be a little mud.
Speed limits may or may not be exceeded. I will pack my lunch and some snacks.
I will not hit up a track day event along the way. I won’t drag a knee, I‘m not likely to go over 150kph but won’t rule it out?. I won’t be airing the bike out or crossing a river like Chris Birch.
This is my kinda day and I definitely can’t think of a better bike to do this style of riding.
That’s why we have different motorcycles. If it’s not your interest great you don’t have to compromise and can by a specialty bike. Lets face it you don’t ride Shannonville road course on a trails bike and you don’t ride a SS on a dirt bike track. But if you tame down your dirt and tarmac there is a bike that does it all.
Compromise not smoke and mirrors or marketing
