I have been to Laconia over 22 years ago and really enjoyed the ride there and the atmosphere. A few thing that the police officer don't like is anyone pissing on the side of the road and anyone riding without any glasses on for safety. You can ride without a helmet but I find at high speed it would be safer to have it on.

Any of you guys go to the reunion in Lake George? I'm leaving tomorrow with some friends and staying there for 3 nights. Any recommendation for tours or route to take?

Looks like some older dates on this thread, but I'll see how it goes. I primarily ride Canada(my next trip is to Northern Quebec, beautiful back country). I've wridden England, bit of Europe, New York State, Texas down to Corpus. Working my bike jones for over 30 years. It's nice to see over the years more women taking up the pastime . Primarily a solo rider, I've found the natives wherever I go find me more approachable and meet more people that way. Drive a cage when I have too. Just joined Lyla this week and enjoying the people.

Hello all, I'm new to this site and have to post something. I started riding small dirt bikes in 1981 and bought my first in 1984. It was a 1983 Honda V45 Interceptor. The interest rate on the loan was 23%; young and dumb but I had fun. I'm still riding but on a 1982 Honda CBX and I still love it. Ride safe everyone.

Seen in Plattsburg NY, a dealer selling a brand new blue 2013 Honda Goldwing for US$17,990 so thats about C$22,500.

Last July some buddies and I went on a ride in New Hampshire and stayed around a town called Conway. From there we traveled East, South West and finally North to Maine. One thing I can say is that they have beautiful roads and parks. We stayed there for 4 days. Another ride I enjoyed more locally was going to Brockville, we enjoyed ordering fish and chips from Don's Fish And Chips. The only inconvenience was that it was take out only but the park/boat docks are not far.

Hello Motorcycle Enthusiasts: I have recently gone to Isle aux Coudres in Charlevoix, Qc and it was an amazing trip. The ride from Ottawa to Quebec City was approx. 5 hours. Quebec City to Isle aux Coudres was 1.5 hours. There was free ferry ....... running every 30 min. Accommodations are amazing... $65/night. We could organize a ride once we have good riding weather in 2015. Any comments ? PS Another option would be to go to the Cabot Trails... on the way there, we may also want to meet some of the more exotic East Coast courtesans !

Hello everybody, been riding for 17 years. Started on a 2-stroke 250 kawasaki dirt bike, have has several 600cc sport bikes over the years and currently moved to the adventure class for a more comfortable ride. Enjoy your riding season!

I'm excited to announce that in 2-3 weeks I will finally be a new rider. I've been taking about it for years, now I'm buckling down and buying a bike. I'm looking at a '05 boulevard c50t that is black with leather saddle bags. I'm so amped to get into the wind finally! If I find something else I'll be sure to update, and pics will come when I finalize the papers

Ride for Dad was a great time... awesome cause.... beautiful day.. had a blast.. got a chance to put some much needed miles on the new Beemer...

Ride for Dad Ottawa - tomorrow. Should be a good turn out as it is supposed to be sunny with a high of 23 degrees.

It's riding season folks. A little rain never hurt anyone except when it's that little stinging stuff like tonight. My Decker needed a wash anyways. Got to love it.

I have been way too busy to take out my HD, this weekend looks like rain again. I can't wait to take my HOG out and go riding me and her.

New tires alreadyâ?¦.new oil, back on the road again today. Darn traffic though, time to get out of the city. Just curious, how many kms before you find you have to get a new tire. Took me only 5 k this time!

gawd.....getting close, folks. New exhausts to select order and install, plus to install a hypercharger, and then, it's game on for 2014.

I think I will remove the blade this weekend. No more snow I hope!

This winter has been a long and slow one, 20 year record has been set . lets all hope this summer is the same, a 20 year record for sun, heat and fun. Been riding for 25 years .A gsxr 750 has been my fun for the last few years. Are there any more sport bike riders ? I like riding up at calabogie ,where do you like to ride in the Ottawa and surrounding areas ?

Daytona bike week starts March 7th. Unfortunately real shitty weather there now.

I hope March warms up real quick. Need to get the bike back on the road:)

I began legally riding in '85. Went from an enduro to the Honda 1000 intercepter. I learned a few things very quickly, who knew you didn't steer it the same way? I've had a few bikes since and now I'm on my retirement bike. Harley Davidson Ultra Classic. My Lazy Boy on wheels as I so affectionally call it.

Big hello to everyone, joined a little while ago, i started riding when i was 19 hard to believe that was 31 years ago lol. I ride an 08 HD police bike that i have been restoring scenes last summer,as well as an 03 HD sportster. Look forward to being a part of the group.

Wouldn't it be nice to go to Toronto show in a group of 4 of us. Share gas & driving, leave real early in morning, come back at night. That's likely 10 hours of driving so maybe best to wait for Montreal show.

That's interesting Notch. My old 750 Virago was an easy bike to ride. I find the Kawasaki smooth (especially on the highway) and comfortable. The only times I feel challenged is when making a tight turn at low speed and picking the bike up when it's down (which I actually managed once). Oh, yeah, backing up on an incline - especially on gravel.
