Top 10 Ways You Know You're an Ontario Biker

Ontario's 250,000 lakes, over 100,000 km of rivers, and rugged Canadian Shield combine to create a breathtaking landscape. The unique geological features of the Precambrian rock scattered across the landscape necessitate roads that are hilly and crooked, extending for long stretches between towns, i.e. the definition of fun motorcycle roads.

Ontario fully experiences all four seasons: riders ache with anticipation during the cold, and strive to take advantage of the riding weather during the warm months. To put it another way, we are obsessed with riding all summer, and obsess about riding all winter.
