Another scorcher today. Rode to Yorkdale to meet the missus to exchange some pants she got me. Met her there and gave her a ride back home. No other riders or people carrying helmets in the mall besides us. Everybody missing out.

Amazing, where do you ride to rack up so much mileage? Just consistently getting out there and riding?

That's pretty much it.

I did 15,000 km heading to Alaska and back, 9,000km on a ride to Florida Keys and New Orleans, Sunday rides typically anything from 250 to 800 km, sometimes more, and commuting probably is 20,000 to 25,000 km a year.

My bike is my everyday vehicle. I have a car and mainly drive it when there is (or is risk of) ice and snow. Once a week I drive it to the grocery store (taking the long way) to make sure it doesn't sit too long.

Been wanting to pull the bike out but my garage heater is down and I'm loathe to open the door and loose the little heat it has.......
 
My rides are getting shorter and shorter these days. Today was only about 10 km. Over to the doggo's vet on Eglinton to pick up her meds, then to the bank on St Clair to make a deposit, grabbed some take out further down St. Clair on the way back home. Gunned it home for a hot meal watching the flurries out the window.

Tomorrow we're hoping to ride down for pre-X-Mas lunch with my mother. As long as the roads stay clear and mostly dry.

Looks like I'm stuck at 61,000 km for 2022. Haven't been able to ride for the last week. This week too sketchy and Friday gone for a week to spend time with Family in Calgary (flying.)

Well with my heated Jacket, heated pant liners and heated visor, plus of course heated grips and seat on my Spyder. I was riding until Sun, when I put her away, not due to the weather, With 3 wheels no concerns of rear wheel slippage etc).

But I found out Thursday, I am having MAJOR shoulder surgery on 02 Jan, and I will be in sling for 4 weeks minimum so can't shift as it is on left handlebar and Left shoulder is getting worked on..lol

Otherwise I likely would have rode all winter. Plus I am back in Cuba 16 - 23 Jan 6th trip since Jan 2022.
 
I was about to crank up my motorcycle after 10 minutes getting all layered up to ride to work this morning and my battery conked out and my bike wouldn't start so I guess that's it for the rest of the year. I do have a brand new battery in the basement ready to go for next spring as this one was already giving me signs of failure.

I should be back from visiting my daughter in Calgary by Dec 31st so there is a slim chance that I might get a little ride in. I doubt it but I can hope.

Saw a rider out this morning as I ran a couple of errands. Surprised and nice to see. Think they were on a Triumph of some sort.
 
Back from visiting my Daughter in Calgary. Went for a very little year end ride. Only did 86 km because visibility got pretty bad.

Ended up with 61,086 km in 2022.

Missed my Santa Clause rise this year, but did a little run this afternoon up to Dagmar on Lakeridge Rd during a break in the rain. Roads really wet, got home soaked with the taste of salty brine in my mouth and nose.
