Hey,

I'm on a school trip in Montreal, missing some prime riding weather back in Illinois. One thing to compound my loss is the fact that everywhere I turn there are motorcycles, about 5 times as many as I have seen patrolling streets in Illinois. Now our tourguide said that Quebec and Montreal, are both known for their harsh and longer winters. I thought that a place with a more agreeable climate would be a place for more bikes. This visit has proved my theory wrong.

Just a musing to vent no-bike-to-ride-when-surrounded-by-them frustration.

There are lots of motorcycles. Maybe, because of the long winter we feel we must take advantage of the short summer :mrgreen:

Yup. Today was one of our scarce nice days so far this year, and they (we) were thick.

I rode 20 miles of boring to get to the only short stretch of curves in this blasted county.

That's how it is in Illinois, a whole mess of boring! Have fun on the boring part for me though!

That's it for me, I don't put off any chance to ride because the season is over so quickly.

After July 20th, I'll be able to ride alone! :mrgreen: Woohoo!

In Ottawa, we can ride from mid-April to early November, at least when you get caught in the off snowfall for those periods and don't mind the sand in the streets in April.
