This thing looks like it started off in life as a lawn mower!!I think i'll trade my van for this mini bike with the kid in town. Jim Carrey swears by its mileage. I want one.
Are You A Motorbiker?

Yep! That's the plan! Sunday is going to be a great day they say!It's going to be 15 degrees this weekend. Let's all go biking
Very few things compare to the experience of riding a motorcycle, in my opinion anyway. I started at 16 on an 85 600R Ninja and haven't stopped riding since. I've been on just about everything along the way and I turned a love affair into a career some 15 years ago..
600, 750's, 900's, 1000's...Harley's, Choppers, KTM's, Ducati's, you name it, I've pretty much ridden it, many on the street as well as the track. I'm still very partial to sport and racing motorcycles, but it really only matters if you ride, not what you ride. If anyone needs any legitimate motorcycle advice, I'd be happy to oblige.
Weather looks great this Sunday for a ride, but be careful. The roads may be sketchy and the cagers will be out in full force.

only thing more exhilarating than riding a bike i find is riding a horse when man and horse are in perfect sync cantering across a rolling field full steam..so i continue to do both.....the equines are more of a zen experience to my mind. never the less hope everyone has a great biking weekend this weekend
Anyone take their bikes out on Sunday? Weather was great. I biked from Pickering to St Jacobs. Great long ride for this time of the year. I drove through a couple of radar traps on quiet country roads. Sneeky buggers. No ticket, but one was close. The cop was already out of his car writing up some poor sod in a vet. I would have been a "little" over the limit if nabbed.
yes indeed, and riding it to work tomorrow,friday, plus some tours planned for this coming weekend as long as the sun is out, the temps wont bother me as i will be suitably geared up
When I go motor biking on summer weekends I go for rides from 200-400 kilometres for the day. Usually I have no specific plan, and it just unfolds as I head out of town. On a longer day I will stop for a nice lunch and/or a little sightseeing.
I have started to collect a few interesting out of town TDL leads for interesting ladies that I would otherwise never think about meeting. I thought it would be a way of combining interesting SP experiences with the pleasure of motor biking. Obviously I will have to plan ahead, and more than ever a good shower on arrival will be essential. It can get a little dusty and sweaty on the bike.
Why the hell I never thought of this as opposed to aimless (but enjoyable) joyriding is beyond me!!

i frequently combine day trips with a hobbying destination in mind..double your pleasure, double your fun. today was another great motorbiking day
Although I don't own a bike (or any motor vehicle), I still feel obligated to let you guys/gals know about the upcoming motorcycle show in Toronto. It'll be held @ Metro Convention Centre on Dec 7-9th.

although it only got up to 2c today, went for a 80 km round trip. Looks like Honda will be launching some new wheels for 2013:

WWG, 2 degrees is a little too cold for me. I am thinking of getting heated gloves and vest, and would be interested in any feedback. I am also giving a lot of thought to the 2013 V MAX. I have owned a Hyabusa in the past and find the allure of these super powerful bikes to be a real draw. The only thing that concerns me about the VMAX is the fuel tank. Based on it's size and the mpg of the bike, it seems the range is only 120-140 kilometres. And we all know that when out and about that with 60 clicks left in the tank it is time to start thinking about a fillup. So, if my impressions are correct, the bike has a weirdly limited range. Any thoughts anyone?
