Touring on a VStar 650 Custom: “I haven't a clue as to how my story will end. But that's all right. When you set out on a journey and night covers the road, you don't conclude the road has vanished. And how else could we discover the stars?" (unknown)

There are many chapters in a person’s life, times that one relates to emotionally, and times that have made a significant difference in one’s life. For me, this spring means the end of two chapters. I am going to retire from my career of 30 years, and I have passed my VStar on to a new VStarLady.
Meet Tabitha, VStarLady 2.0. I wish her many safe and happy kilometres on the Star.
After a very emotional hug, we said "Goodbye."
And goodbye Star! I will miss you. But when one chapter ends, another is sure to begin ..read more

Yesterday and the annual trek to the Toronto International Motorcycle Show.
Every year the feel of the show changes. This year it was, I felt, for the most part, a change for the better. Better quality vendors, less crowding, fewer scantily clad showgirls.
There weren't really any show-stopping moments, but I enjoyed myself.
I even made a purchase. No, not a new motorcycle - just a new tank bag to replace the one with the wonky zipper ..read more

My house was finally quiet for a few hours and I was settled in for a peaceful dinner and a relaxing New Year's Eve. Even though my movie aficionado friend gave it a nose up review I planned on watching Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, an impulse buy from the local Walmart about a month ago. That was until I stumbled upon a classic. Armchair shot of my TV screenTo tell the truth, I don't think I'd actually seen Easy Rider before even though I felt I must have. Sadly I still haven't seen the full show as I found it halfway through. What a social commentary for the time. And sadder still I did end ..read more

The area has been under a freezing rain warning for over 24 hours. There is both beauty and ugliness in this ice covered world.
The freezing rain warning was cancelled and reinstated an hour later. We're lucky, we still have hydro if not all of the trees we had yesterday. All is good as long as we are warm, dry, safe and sound ..read more

The magnolia has bloomed ...but the Star hasn't. The magnolia should be done by now and the lilacs near blooming, but not so this year. It has been an unusual spring: rainy and cold or cold and rainy. My thoughts go out to all of those dealing with high water and floods. I'm lucky, I know the star will shine again ... as soon as time and weather allow ..read more

I opened up my Blogger dashboard tonight - last posted, August??? What, really??? (How do I log in, what do I do??) Then sadly I realized, there hasn't been any exciting moto-content to write about since August, and so I haven't. No wonder I'm out of practise. But it's finally spring and time to catch up. So here's a quick synopsis of what's been happening, (an admission that I am still breathing) with new spring motorcycle content! Promise, sort of!August - a mini cottage vacation on one of the Thousand Islands and a breathtaking sunrise. September - a new school year, a new car. I could han ..read more
