on one ride through Forks of the Credit some dude on a Triumph passed me in my own goddamn lane going 30km over. Like, dude, if you're gonna get impatient, just cross the yellow and get the gently caress as far away from me as possible.

There was some random van mostly unmarked but with a small "MotoGP46" sticker on the back. Wonder if Vale has some big marketing push going on in Canada lol.

They're Sport tourers with a body lift.
Much like the suv segment is a wagon with a body lift.

They're not actually good at doing anything, just decent enough at most everything and looks good at the local cafe despite never having ever seen a fire road.
CUV is the lifted wagon.

There's some cheaper Cortechs that can take armor for close out: https://www.motorcyclegear.com/street/pants/reinforced_jeans_and_cargos/cortech/ventura_jean.html

I have something similar and no regrets so far, but also no crashes :)

At least up until this year, Shell's top grade was ethanol-free in Ontario, so I'd always do a full tank of it right before storage.

I got used to freeway riding doing 427 & 401 on weekend rides out to see my folks, so it wasn't the hellbent for death commuter traffic, and that made it a bit easier to get used to.

Evening rush hour on the QEW heading east I've only done a couple of times pre-pandemic, and I found that more stressful than the 401 lol. But then again, it's a road I'm not used to, so being extra aware of trying to find my exit and navigating etc. would be more stressful than one I know well. So idk

Last fall we were out visiting my inlaws and I basically had to barge from Leslieville to Etobicoke and back in under an hour at rush hour, mostly on Lakeshore, and I'm afraid I got a little Mister Wheeler, MOTORIST with the rentacar
Man those old Goofy cartoons were the best. I got the DVDs and immediately watched the baseball one a couple of times.

My "hack" is just to enter the ramp in the leftmost lane, so it's just one lane-change onto the 427 proper. Your detour is better though.
lol yep, was gonna say the same thing. Stay in the left of the two exit lanes, then when the 2 lanes from the 427 proper join, scoot over to the leftmost of those four, and your in good shape when the 2 more come in on the left from the westbound 401 exit. Then I try to get far left again for the eventual Gardiner exit at the bottom.

The other trick, at the other end of the 427 (which is a bit of a judgment call because you have to make the call pretty early, so you're doing it on gut feel and some visual cues and it isn't always better), is to take the Brown's Line exit and take the cloverleaf loop back on to the Gardiner. It does have the advantage of getting you on to the Gardiner earlier, so you don't risk getting squeezed on to the collectors or have to fight that battle. And it's a pretty tight radius turn, which is fun if there's nobody in front of you.
Neat! Never would've tried that.

I went to Portugal this spring and the motorcycle culture there is such a different vibe than Canada.



So many small bikes and scooters. Rarely saw what would be considered normal or standard here.
Hell, Ontario vs BC is already a big gap, just because of the weather.
