Monday Gate Drop

I guess I will begin this week by wishing everyone a Happy Spring! Although it doesn’t feel like spring in most parts of Canada, the season that all of us moto-loving folk love; has finally arrived. Now, all we need is some milder temperatures to melt the snow and thaw the frozen ground. Last week was March break here so ...

Well, one thing is clear as I sit and watch the snow fall outside, Wiarton Willie (the groundhog who predicted an early spring) might not know what the heck he’s talking about. Here in Southern Ontario, Spring’s arrival doesn’t appear any closer than it did a month ago. Even down by Gopher Dunes, where the milder weather usually arrives first ...

Welcome to February! Thankfully our super observant rodent here in Ontario, “Wiarton Willie” did not see his shadow last week, so spring is hopefully on its way. So, never mind the trusted and sometimes accurate Farmer’s Almanac or the advanced weather computer models that the weather service are able to generate now, I’m placing all my bets on our friendly ...
