Canadian Superbike Race Results From Shannonville

I can't believe it. They even have races. Who would have thought they have motorcycles and even motorcycle races in Canada. Doesn't it snow there 14 months of the year?

I've done a lot of work for canadians. Carpentry etc.. they regale tales of 40 below.. No thank you I am content to stay in the land of hula and bikinis and coronas on the beach. Not putting on a shirt for days at a time... yeah, life's good in hawaii.

Excuse me while I go flip my steak wearing nothing but a cigarette.

But yeah, I didn't know they had motorcycles in canada either. Do they have chains on the tires for snow?

The funny thing is that most Americans seem to think that Canada = snow, yet out the west coast where I live, it's actually rare for the temperature to drop below freezing, even in January. This last winter I think we had about a half-inch of snow once in Victoria, but the next day the temperature was about 50F and all the snow was gone.

I don't need winter storage, I need rain gear. If you're okay with riding in a bit of rain, you can commute daily.

It's just southern Ontario, that's like living near Milwaukee or New York City..... pretty much the same as the states.

Might as well, I nearly bought myself a snow mobile instead because of the winter we just had. xD

thisisbenji · June 9th, 2014, 09:16 AM

Well, I suppose I live in the frozen Tundra then... but it's really not that bad. We have a good 6 - 8 months of good motorcycle riding and about 3 months of good sled riding.

Do wooly mammoths still exist in the hills up there? I heard they didn't go extinct, they just went to canada.

capt_bugaloo · June 9th, 2014, 12:26 PM

You know how in the States, whenever a cold front hits the mid-west, you say it comes from Canada?

Do you know where the weather people up here say our cold fronts come from? Alaska....

I was thinking that, I have some family who live in Alaska. That place makes Canada seem warm.

Of course. Don't you know that Flintstones was based on Canada? What do you think we drive in the winters? Cars ?
