Thought i'd post a ride report of yesterday's fun ride. Had sometime in the afternoon and I went where my bike would take me on a whim, just hoping that all roads will lead back to Toronto on the way back.
Map of the route I took

Lots of awesome roads, esp. These stretches :

HWY 35 / 115 from Orono to Duoro-Dummer : Very picturesque, Esp close to Ganaraska Forest

HWY 6 / 28 / 25 Combination through Otanabee Forest, Galesburg, South beach and Younge Point


Started at 2pm form Scar-boring, reached back around 11pm with a lot of stops along the way. Went 2up with a friend.

But was super awesome to see almost every rider do a low vee ( or a very dignified nod by some of the 'cooler' cruiser riders).

Bugs were a big issue on the way back and had to stop at KC - Timmies. What better way to make more biker friends. LOL

Thanks Sammi, Egypt-rider, the girls, Justin and another friend who came up and greeted me. Will hopefully ride with you guys soon.

:)

Alright I gotta ask, are you a dude?
Cause if so, the whole sore bum thing is just asking for it.

Hmm.. naah ! he's gonna be on his own bike next season. Id rather invest in a bike rack.

I am thinking of planning a tour with a bunch of stops at points of interest / attractions / along the way, I am a newbie and Id settle for a relaxed, steady pace at (or just reasonably over ) speed limit, avoiding the freeways and choosing picturesque back roads. Should be something from morning to evening, around 400-500km max.

So how do i go about organizing this ? Will someone experienced be ready to lead ?
 
Ugh, GS500's back seat (well, the entire banana seat) is much more comfy than any "passenger" piece of leather I have seen on SS bikes.
 
Wait until the Junebugs, fishflies, or whatever you call them start swarming. Some places in Peterborough get a bit greasy. More so in my hometown outside of Windsor but it was everywhere down there. I had to put my parents Cherokee in 4wd to get off a road in Belle River. It was crazy. The bugs can get really nasty up here so bring a squeegee! lol

which roads did i miss ? :( Tell me tell me ..

I am thinking of heading out to Warsaw Caves and peter-bro on Jun 11th. Any suggestions on good roads ??
 
Highway 7a is pretty good. Hills and twisties and good scenery. From the 115 all the way to Port Perry. I have to drive that road everyday.
