Quite by accident I ran into this gem. No police. No bicycles. No cars .No potholes. No gravel. No people. No houses. No farm equipment. Its like a fucking race track! Fresh black top. It's better than sex. This is IN TORONTO, the home of straight roads!!! I'm there multiple times per week.I'm addicted to it. I dream of it. I torture the FZ8 on it. I need help. I've rediscovered the joy of riding.

I don't recall seeing this inside of Toronto after living here for 47 years! Where, oh where is this? I promise to keep it a secret! I'll buy you a beer if you divulge the location! :iconbeer:

We would only divulge the location to fellow FZ8'ers on this forum and we can all take a vow of silence, and if the vow is broken it is punishable by forever having this as your passenger:

I've done most of the roads around Peterborough and Haliburton. I've done the Westport backroads last year, in the early spring. There was too much crap on the road still, so I was taking it very easy. I meant to get back later in the season, but I never got to it. Maybe this year.


Vapordan, how about a little PM disclosing the location of this hidden gem. It'll be our little secret.:sinister:

I have done the 511 hwy to Calabogie many times I live about a 30 minute bike ride from it . I take the back roads through Almonte to it which puts me at about the middle of it . So we run it in to Calabogie stop at the stinsons gas station which is packed with bikes from every walk of life fuel up and run it back all the way to Perth Ontario and then home. It's about a 2 hour run and we usually do this run a couple of times a week I think it's about an 80 km ride door to door.

I've run all those roads up there except for centennial lake road which I only take less than half way through to get to my hunt camp will be doing it this summer. Calabogie road is the 508 hwy and once you get past the ski hills it gets really bad not at all smooth and lots of patched up pavement. The. 511 has a lot more twistys and a lot less traffic. You should try and get down there for a ride, on a sunny Sunday afternoon its nothing but bikes. It's pretty cool.

Maybe. But you'd have to leave now, it will take you a few months to get to my area, given you are way out at the north pole.

If it's on the map I posted a link to, then all the bikers know about it.

If it's the road I am guessing, I used to ride it back in the late 80's...even back then it became too popular on nice sunny weekends even with the "general public", especially in the fall when the fall colours were out...

One of my favouries back then was McDougall Rd outside of Parry Sound. My buddy had a cottage on Lake Manitouwabing and we rode up there a dozen or so times in '87.

Down around T.O. there are no secret roads.... :(
