We drive to Winterton most weekends and you're right, that highway is probably the most stressful section of the drive. The Whitbourne route however has a lower speed limit and I have remember to 'temper' my expectations. The traffic that day too was unbelievable. Maybe because it was a really...

Drove out to Trinity Bay North on the weekend and decided to skip Veterans Memorial and take the scenic route north by Whitbourne to get to Hearts Content. Just before Cavendish a train of vehicles comes down a hill towards me and with the lead vehicle being a Dodge Ram towing a boat. The boat...

True this as well. When riding my bike out there I've taken to riding the TCH to Whitbourne and going up the shore to Heats Content to avoid this highway lately. It makes the ride just a little longer as it's slower and that's not a bad thing. It's also much more scenic!

I hear ya. No intent to tar anyone here but putting myself in the mind of cager who has never driven a bike and can't tell a Vespa from a KLR, it's frustrating to see this and experience. I was the driver this time and will cut any motorcyclists some slack but another driver who may have...

Folks, Spare me a few moments while I vent. I head out fairly regularly on weekends to the Trinity Bay North area and while on the veterans memorial highway yesterday on my way back to town there's a section two to three km's with rolling hills just before the old highway turnoff and just...

Not too sure if there are any MotoGP / WSBK fans on here but just wanted to note the passing of MotoGP / WSBK racer Nicky Hayden. I've followed his career since he raced CBR 600's and RC51's in the AMA series in the U.S. through to his 2006 MotoGP Championship and current stint with Red Bull...

I visit at least once a week, use to be more frequent but still like checking in to see what's up. While not an Adv'r as such there are commonalities across all genres to appreciate and discuss and always something to learn of the local going's on. It might be just me but motorcycling on the...

Usually don't promote sales but for anyone interested I though I would pass along as a buddy had passed this on to me... GP Bikes has a sale on until October 8th. I was looking for some Kevlar/Aramid riding jeans with armor. Nothing fancy, hooligan or fashionable. Got a pair of Resurgence...

Been hearing a bit about the MTP downturn of late. Not sure what is driving that but I'm lead to believe its not all the fault of the competition. As far as technology goes, as you can see in my sig, i'm currently rockin' a 1994 CBR F2. I loved these things when they came out and that...

I was hoping you hadn't forgotten me! Hope things are well with you too. Got to see one of the new Ducati's in Halifax and they are nice. I had heard people talk about the 'sound' of a Ducati but man, the Italians really know how to make something special. I do like the bolt as well and if I...

LoOLoLO... Savage, you and I spent many a weekend on the lot in mount pearl damaging the confidence of many a new rider, and I have seen you nearly run over more than a few times! Once in fact I did see you get get run over. If you look at my avatar you can get my initials. And yes I do remember...

Mr. K! It just dawned on me that you're a hipster wannabe! I just had this awful image of you with a beard down to you nether regions, slicked back coiffed hair and too tight lumberjack shirt about to put on a purple glitter open face Bell helmet riding off on the SCR950 ...

The retro look seems to be all the rage now. I like this but it seems...stubby. And may be its just me but given the seating position I can't envision me driving this on the highway so why a 950? Having ridden both large and small displacement bikes I have to confess I am drawn to smaller cc...

The reason for the levy, as I understand it (and I may be wrong) is that the rating agencies were going to drop their bond rating if the 2016 fiscal deficit went above $2 billion. If you look at what government has in the budget expenditures, spending actually went up from the year before...

This is a good topic and my post wasn't to enlarge an argument, merely to 'enhance' the discussion. I agree with most of your post as well. I'm also not for besmirching (been waiting for a place to use that word :0) any rider(s) regardless of clothing, ability or bike they ride (that one's tough...

Apologies in advance but I'll be the voice in the wilderness here. And I'll admit to being torn on this as I get older. I'm not sure if 'passing' judgement' is the right terminology on what I believe I think or feel when I see someone with flips flops on scooting down Torbay Road. My initial...

Are you home this evening? Otherwise PM me with a good time to show up (and your address) and I will make every effort to be there. JL

No worries...and even better, I live in town anyway. If you're still intent on parting with them let me know. JL

No takers on these? As a vintage sport bike rider size 10.5 and Pork Hunt wannabe I'm interested! Will be in Winterton on the weekend and can drop up to take a look. Nothing in life is free so more than willing to provide some remuneration and / or a cold dozen should you desire! :0) JL
