I second that.... went on Friday to go somewhere in 3pm pre-rush-hour traffic... car suddenly stopped to make a left while I was looking to change lanes.... luckily I was on my way turning into the right lane.. i was inches before rear-ending the car in front.

What a wonderful day for riding it was, yesterday. Dare I say, one of the best days in the year. Temperatures, even at 5am hovered between 16-18C.
No heated gear required.
Here's the spin that I went on. Main aim for the ride was to explore the Nipissing road between Seguin Falls and Magnetawan.
Pretty early on
Etwell Road
This is where I realized that my number plate was barely hanging on. One bolt had fallen off, and the other would have had I not stopped for a pic. I tightened the bolt at one end and tied the other with zip ties.
A bridge on the Nipissing Road East
I rode south from Seguin falls until the road turned into a trail, and the trail then bifurcated into many smaller trails, some muddy. I turned back towards the 518 and took the Nipissing road West towards Magnetawan.
The road is packed gravel which turns into tar as I reach Magnetawan.
Magnetawan Dam
I then took the Bunny trail down to the 124 and then the combination of hurdville road and swords to get back to Rosseau. Fueled up at the Shell in Port Carling and headed home via Hockley. Lot's of bikers in the Hockley/Tera Cotta area yesterday
The Adventist Church on Hockley Rd
Was home by late afternoon. And that's a wrap..

@iblastoff they have an amazing educational program for kids (or they did pre-Covid) so if you have kids, you should take them...
Something to talk about here over the winter. Don't read too much into it.
Anyhow, myself and 4 friends went out yesterday for a trip up Haliburton way. 507, Gooderham road, etc. Was beautiful, although the clouds followed us all the way north so it was the better part of 3PM on the way home before we broke out into sun again.
Still no complaints for November 6th.

1.What kind of hand guards muffs are you using on the VStrom?
That looks like a good route.
2.Any chance you have a gpx file for it?
Zero kids and don’t plan on having any lol. But yep I did see one of the long houses had an archaeological dig setup to teach kids about research and care of finding and preserving history.

2. I don't have a gpx file. I use Gmaps for routes. Here's the link - Walmart Supercentre to Walmart Supercentre
Was out yesterday for a gravel road tour of old iron bridges (hurry they're disappearing fast). Fours killers and a turncoat on his new Tenere.
This is a great time to be out. One of two short seasons where there is no foliage and no snow and all the treasures lining the hedge rows are briefly visible.

Beautiful day for a 500km route up and around Barry’s Bay today. Warm enough when the sun was out and zero traffic anywhere.
Thank you.
Do you keep those muffs on all year round or do you put them on for the colder months only?

I just put them on a few weeks ago for the first time. I intend to remove them come spring.
The idea is to pair this with the heated gloves and ride up until it snows
Tomorrow is a day off for me ... I'll be out and about.
