Friday, September 22, 2017 - Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario: 2016 Honda CBF500 One year ago today I rolled this guy out of Sturgess Cycle. As in literally, rolled out of the store: There was a flash torrential downpour happening outside so we started the bike on the show room floor and they held the doors open, someone stood and watched for a break in traffic and flagged me to roll out. My first "naked" - I love sport bikes, and I had never considered this style option, but I'm having a grand time. A few modifications for comfort - heated grips, Barkbusters, the Puig windscreen. Reflector rim tape to help nighttime visibility. I've ridden it to Ottawa, around Lake Erie, another trip to Cleveland, and my major Maritimes adventure, also documented briefly here. My work commute is about 24km one way. Brings the grand total to just over 32,100 km on the one year birthday. Big shout out to the staff at Sturgess Cycle Hamilton, since 1910, http://www.sturgessonline.com/ These folks go the extra mile to keep me on the road and I can not give them enough thanks. People razz me for going "all that way" for a shop but they're worth it. Photos of a lookout onto Lake Ontario. On a clear day you can see downtown Toronto, but it's been hazy all week. Bonus picture from Niagara Falls, behind the trees. When you live 30 minutes from one of the biggest tourist traps in the province, you easily forget how awe inspiring it actually is. Take a minute to appreciate your own local landmarks!
