Toronto, Canada Riders

Markxhog · 05-17-2006, 10:36 PM

Hey all,

I'm looking for sport riding individuals or groups in Toronto. Have not found much yet! Now that we're finally expecting some nice weather I want to put some miles on my CBR! Anyone know of groups, sites etc?

Hey there. I'm in Toronto. Let me know what part of town you're in, I'm always looking for people to ride with. Where do you like to ride and what kind of pace? I like getting out of the city and I tend to be on the "safe" side with my street riding.

Some community sites you could check out are:

www.gtamotorcycle.com - very large, a bit annoying, lots of posing and sniping, but covers a lot of people
www.gtamotorcycle.ca - more beginner-oriented and friendly
www.2wheeljunkie.com - store and smaller community site

There are other ones that I don't know the URL's for. There's the ontario sport riders, as well as a durham region riders site. I think there's something called Toronto Sport Riders, or GTA sport riders? Try googling stuff like that.

Always up for a ride!

A bunch of us from this site got together last summer for a ride, good time. Similar style to Duster above, like the day trips up north on some great roads and little traffic.

I think we'll have to do another one for sure.

I just hope that i won't be blinded from all your bling bling on the bike

All,

Thanks! I am hoping to get some mileage on the new bike ASAP! I've only had it a week and it's been raining like crazy! I'm a pretty relaxed rider ... I'm really open to anything ... weekend day trips ... 1 - 2 hour 'quick runs' to clear my head during the week! Are Sundays at Tim's or Lawrence the best? Does anyone want to set something up?

No worries, I hand out sun glasses before every ride

How about you wear the shades

while I ride your bike to see if all the bling you added made any difference from the last time I rode it!

Maybe the new guy will let us ride the 06............

Markxhog · 05-20-2006, 9:09 PM

8 degrees and raining tomorrow ... this must be some kind of joke!

I don't have to I have a tinted screen... you know that you're more than welcome to ride it... Just don't break it

and you may notice a "small" difference from the last time you were out on it
