The Fastest Member, Riding to Canada

[Anthony]

Going to ride up into Canada in the next week or two through Detroit headed into Windsor. Detroit is maybe 300 miles from me so it's not a far out trip. Thought I would take my experience International...

if your on the bike, you can not take the tunnel.

I hope you like straight, flat roads.

 

[MNGreg]

ahhh you should take the long way around and go through MN instead and enjoy the scenic North Shore along the way.

Well, I was expecting to take the tunnel.... How would you get across? Is there a Ferry? Or I could ride to Detroit, rent a car? hmmmmm...


And as far as flat roads, I own a Hayabusa, I like all roads. I am going with my wife for some sight seeing, not to carve corners. I do that on the Tail of the Dragon

I believe there is a ferry, but there is also a bridge 2 miles or south of the tunnel.

I've had to make a few deliveries in Canada and some of the roads are pretty epic. Not sure about when it's cold as crap but have fun none the less.

Good point. I need to get a passport, or one of those citizenship ID cards.... I wish the drivers lic. was still good enough. Would love to go invade Canada sometime and do a little "Canadian Bacon" (love that John Candy movie!). But would love to go up there since it is only about a 5 hr drive from my house at most.

You'll be OK in southern Ontario for the month of October. We're getting into November before you need to start thinking about freezing temperatures during the day. There might be some cold nights, so check cars for frost in the mornings.

You'll want to watch your speed, but you're generally OK as long as you don't go more than 20 km/h over the limit.

I checked the weather & today it's 75 degrees in Southern Canada.

This is probably going to be one of my last out of town trips this year with the wife on the Bike & we thought since we had never gone to Detroit we could take a ride up there & check it out for a day. Then that turned into, well hey, you know we did just get out Passports renewed... So of course that turned into a 3 day vacation of hey, lets ride up to Detroit, spend a day there & then the next day ride across the border & spend a day in Windsor, another place we haven't been & it's only a few miles from Detroit.

So walla, Like a couple of newlyweds we are off to vacation in Canada. Will walk around, take some pics, see the sights, enjoy a nice ride on the bike there & back with the wife. May even rent a car in Detroit/Windsor depending on weather & just leave the bike at the Hotel for a day...


So ya, it's one of those last minute "wanna get away" type trips...

Fastest Member disappoints?

At what point does referring to yourself as the "fastest member" get old? See definitions #2 and #3 here.

Let me express my true feelings on that....:Flip:

[ajones70]

Def make it sooner rather than later!! Weather is turning..fall is stunning out East thats for sure....its abit warmer in Ontario than out here on the west side. You would love riding thru the rockies for sure but def not this time of year. Keep us posted on your trip for sure!

Sometime last August.

Besides that, I'm pretty sure there are some pilots on here that certainly can come closer to qualifying.
