Default Toronto Visit

Was in Toronto Monday and Tuesday. Only saw one motorcycle Monday night (cant imagine why). It was alot colder than Im used to. Saw a few Harley jackets on guys who look like they might ride, ya never know though. Wow, big city, lots of traffic. Im gonna be there in a week or two for 18 months straight on a job near the beach area I think. Should be fun and a little different, thats good too. Maybe I can bring my bike out in the spring, maybe. Not sure of the rules though?
Pretty cool looking city and the folks there were great

Hey!

Im about an hour north of the Beaches-come up for a visit! LOADS of posers here.....when I first moved here from BC and had to attend a car show--there were tons of guys wearing jackets and t-shirts-and I kept trying strike up conversations with guys to see if someone would show me around the bike roads. Quickly found out HD has a great CLOTHING business

Anyways--let me know when your here and I can set ya up with a great guy for service etc if you want

What rules???? welcome you'll enjoy riding here. Thousands of miles of great riding around Ontario. Come west of T.O. and me and a few of the guys will show you around. Wait till spring though, winter riding sucks!

Hate to be the one to tell you this, but I am farther north than Toronto is. There is plenty of places in the lower 48 that are further north than parts of Canada!

I lived up there for two years on business 2001-2003.

Not too many scoots - HORRENDOUS traffic too around the GTO - especially towards downtown/beach - less than ideal place to ride IMHO.

PS:

like sushi - Taka Sushi downtown on Front street is #1.

like lobster - The Lobster Trap - just a few minutes away from downtown - is #1.

And don't go to Remingtons!!! Buddy of mine (my boss) tricked me into that one when I first visited the area. Never will forgive him

I'm 400 miles north of Toronto. Want a nice weekend ride, come up to our bike rally first weekend in July. Nice riding, beautiful country.
Try to book Friday June 13th off for the Friday the Thirteenth Port dover biker party. It's usually good for 100,000 bikes. I'm thinkin' it's less than a two hour ride to your left.
