Anti motorcycle city 6

The City of Toronto hates motorcycles. It is such a hassle to have a motorcycle downtown and use it as a method of transportation. The bylaw officers are complete pricks when it comes to parking your motorcycle. Motorcycles are better than cars for the environment, they take up much less space than cars, and getting ...

Thrill of the year

Today I had an amazing thrill; the best thrill I’ve experienced so far this year. I was at a family event in Fergus and my cousin Joel let me take his 2000 Yamaha YZF-R6 motorcycle out for a rip. I’ve never ridden a crotch rocket/sport bike before so I was very excited to try it ...

Dirt biking thrill

I had a great thrill today. I rode my dirt bike 120KMs on the QEW to visit my Mom for Thanksgiving. My Uncle Dave and his son Nick also brought their dirt bikes to my Mom’s house on the back of their pickup truck. Dave rides a 2000 Kawasaki KX 250cc. Nick rides a 1993 ...

Pictures from East Coast Trip

Here is a link to some pictures I have posted from my East Coast Dirt Bike Trip. Link

MP3 player

I regret not taking an MP3 player on my trip. Time goes by a lot more slowly on a bike when you don’t have music. In general, after 2 hours of riding, I would start to go insane and I would sing outloud. Very loud too. I received some strange looks from cars passing by ...

Final Days: 8 and 9

It took me quite a long time to get out of Fredericton. It was raining, and my cheap Wal Mart rain gear had gotten ripped and shredded after my first encounter with rain in New Brunswick on the way the to the East Coast. So I rode to the local Fredericton Wal Mart and purchased ...

Day 7 – Friday

I arrived in Fredericton New Brunswick around 7PM Friday evening. I had quite an interesting ride there. It took me about 7 hours to get to Fredericton from Halifax, which is normally a 4 hour drive. While I was riding, it struck me that I haven’t checked my oil level. I thought it would be ...

Days 6 and 7

On Wednesday, I rode the ferry from PEI to Nova Scotia, it cost me $34 for a motorcycle. I can’t believe people on bicycles only pay $16. My motorcycle is almost as small as a bicycle. But toll booth Susan told me that because it has an engine, it costs $34. I arrived in Halifax ...

Days 4 and 5

After arriving in Charlottetown, I spent around 3 hours looking for a cheap hotel since the only hostel in Charlottetown was apparently closed down a couple months ago. I searched like crazy, I even went to the University of PEI to see if they had any rooms.. No luck, and every decent hotel/motel/inn in Charlottetown ...

Days 2 & 3

I finally arrived in Charlottetown PEI after 2 full days of riding. I left Montreal around 12:00PM yesterday, I was planning to get to Fredericton by 9:00 or so, but after around just over 500Kms of riding, it was pouring down pretty hard, it was dark out, and I seriously felt like my life was ...
