CAA is running their annual worst road vote. I was thinking we could settle on a Route and vote as a group. What's your worst roads? Route 92, Branch to Colinet was pretty bad the last time I was out that way. Any others?

Hi everyone, If you intend to go to Eric Akse's funeral, please call or txt me a message to -------. Seats are limited and your name will be put on a list guaranteed to get in. No limits on the wake. It would be nice to see you all. Take care.

Well, a few years back myself and a friend travelled across Country Road from Heart's Delight to Carbonear. He was generally miffed and lost his cool with me about having wet socks. I still remember is finger pointing tantrum when I suggested we stop while he wrings them out, "you know, and I...

The October issue of the Downhomer has a good article on adventure riding here in the province. https://www.downhomelife.com/article.php?id=1784 I named dropped a few people, but unfortunately the writing was by someone else. Not to say Ashley didn't do a bang up job, it's really well done!

This stuff isn't backed up, so I'm going to skip the big ride report and just throw out some pictures and a few suggestions for anyone looking to ride the Connaigre and Burin Peninsulas, and considering the ferry from Bay L'Argent to Pools Cove. A special thank you to Murph, for originally...

Asking for an enthusiastic friend with the know-how, space, tools, etc., but not the means to afford a project bike... If you have a winter project bike that's been collecting dust, and you'd rather see that love ride again than sit in storage, please get in touch. The ideal bike would be...

Well, the twins have been keeping me busy. My first big ride this summer will be to the Connaigre and Burin Peninsulas, taking the ferry from Pools Cove to Bay L'Argent. I have no planning done for: places to stay, gas stops, must see places, places to avoid, and ferry specifics...

Needless to say, driving a car is much safer than a motorcycle. Crumple zones, air bags, safety belts, and that all-encompassing steel frame—that most cyclists loathingly refer to as the “cage”—are all designed to minimize injuries to passengers. Motorcycles have none of these features. There...

Hi everyone, a 29-year-old male has died in a motorcycle crash in the Goulds area near that big intersection. It may have been the result of a collision vs single vehicle. I hope this doesn't affect anyone here, and my thoughts go out to that person's family. Watch yourself out there...

How's everyone managing with on-line picture storage? I've noticed most are posting a few pictures to Facebook, and using offsite image grabs. Some are uploading to RtR. Some may dislike having all their photos circulated to their Facebook connections, or the reduced resolution of uploads to...

Does anyone know a way around the problems with BMW Parts ordering? It's been down for a couple weeks, apparently across Canada (at least), and there's no way to order a part; or even determine if it is available in Canada, back ordered, or unavailable. If it were not for having a machinist...

I've always been under the impression that gauntlet gloves provided more protection, and blocked wind up the sleeve, while short gloves stopped rain from going down your sleeves and into your glove (or so I'm told because I always felt, just go faster). Maybe short gloves are better. Is anyone...

Sizing up maps, it looked there was a really nice trail between Gaskiers and Saint Vincent's. Actually, it had enough promise to be a standard detour for any Irish Loop trip. Myself, sleepyhead65, HunterSon, and Bueller (Barry), decided to have an adventure. But first, a quick mention. The...

It didn't take much asking for John at HondaOne to arrange an exclusive first look at the new machine. The last few bolts were tightened and it was rode in through the front doors. We even got to un-box the silver dual-clutch transmission. Super cool. Here's just a few snaps...

It's last minute for the forums, but you never know... Up for a street ride? North Atlantic O Store, 253 Commonwealth Avenue, Mount Pearl, Sunday, May 1, 12:30 PM to 5:00 PM. Figure out where then. 4 going so far!

A Discretionary Use Application has been submitted by the Town of Conception Bay South requesting permission to develop the property located at *800 Foxtrap Access Road *for the purpose of an ATV staging parking lot. The parking lot will have 18 spaces, and will serve as the terminus for a...

Its that time of the year. Post your insurance coverage and rate (taxes included) and find out where the deals are. 2012 F800 GS, All Perils, TD Insurance, $461.

I am saddened to pass on the following news. A long time motorcyclist, and I assume known to a few members on RTR, Alan Andrews has passed away suddenly. Sometimes people connect people with their bikes. Alan started riding on an 1980 RD-350, and I met him when he was riding a 1986 GSX-R 1100 in...

If I were a jealous person, this would be it. Someone pulled into Costco today in a first generation Pinzgauer. It was in excellent shape.

Does anyone know if Logy Bay, Torbay, Flatrock, Pouch Cove, and Bauline are using road salt? It seems St. John's went cracked with it this year. :-/
