Mojo On The Move
Chances are you haven’t seen the ads on pages 42-43, and 69 yet, so let me get you up to speed. Mojo has moved, and it was a big one. We started Motorcycle Mojo in Ontario in 2002 — 22 unbelievable and unforgettable years ago — but it was time for ne

By the Numbers
There were only 14 riders to race the very first Corduroy Enduro. However, only seven finished the race. Every year there is a moderate number of racers who don’t finish. The number of years the Corduroy Enduro has been running. Dubbed “Canada’s Toug

Say What?
Another great piece by Emily Roberts. Juxtaposition (Braapy Thoughts, June 2024) is a timely article. Women in sports are thriving. Women’s hockey has been an interesting sport for quite a while but now with the PWHL it has grown into a significant p

Roads I Have Ridden
I just happened to ride Hurricane Ridge to kill time while waiting for the ferry from Port Angeles, WA., to Victoria, B.C., on a cold, windy, rainy day. Having a four-hour wait, the ferry person suggested a ride to Hurricane Ridge. So, I found the ro

AUGUSTA & ADELINE
With no paved roads or reliable maps, riding motorcycles in the early 1900s was challenging for anyone, let alone a pair of young women. In 1916, Augusta and Adeline Van Buren embarked on a remarkable journey, crossing the United States aboard a pair

Choosing The Right Tire Track
I started teaching rider training for the Canada Safety Council 40 years ago. Part of the curriculum covered what part of the lane you should ride in. I can watch a rider in traffic and can usually tell pretty quickly if they have had rider training.

Mighty Max
I want to preface this column by saying this is meant to convey a happy realization rather than a morbid understanding. Some of you may be familiar with Max Burns, writer and long-time journalist for Cycle Canada. When I heard of Max’s passing I was

Elegant Roadster
Recently, in the south of Spain, I rode the newest generation of the R nineT, the R12 nineT, through the Andalusian mountains. It’s always been easy for me to admire the BMW R nineT. Since its launch in 2013, I’ve found myself drawn to the classic ro

Moments Of Canadian Heritage
John Anderson, Jim Oliver and I pulled out of my remote cottage north of Kingston on our way to ride the Adirondacks in upstate New York. I have had a lifelong love affair with history, and I wanted my friends from the Georgian Bay area to appreciate

See The World Off The Beaten Path
There are a number of adventure bike training centres in North America. We have a handful of them in Canada, including our own Clinton Smout’s SMART Riding Adventures, but it stands to reason, because of sheer population and year-round riding in some

Aim For The Potholes
It might seem an odd request from our coach, Pascal Vaguelsy, as we were about to head out the severely broken road that leads out of RawyHyde’s California headquarters. The reason for the “aim for the potholes” comment was to demonstrate how importa

Taking It Slow, To Get Fast
Building motorcycle skills has always been an important part of my life. Over the years, I’ve found myself putting in more time helping others learn rather than focusing on new skills myself. So when Glenn and I decided to head to RawHyde for a skill

Mid-sized Fun
I still remember when I rode my first Ninja. Although it was only a 250 cc, I felt like the next Valentino Rossi whipping through the corners. I expect that many riders have at least one memorable experience on a Ninja, considering the model has been

Great Roads GOOD PEOPLE
It was a single-digit morning. The dew was frosty, and I was hungry. As I transitioned bare arms and legs from bivy to jacket and pants, I began to uncharacteristically envision the hot luxury of a McDonald’s Big Breakfast ($6.49 plus tax). But the m

Wingman Of The Road — The Goose
How many times have you planned a camping trip and compiled a tent, sleeping bag, mattress pad, and a dry bag with a few clothes piled up on the ground beside your bike. You then try to perform a balancing act of carefully piling the whole shebang on

Just like automakers, motorcycle companies worldwide are in the process of either producing or developing vehicles that operate on alternative fuel sources. BMW has electric scooters; Harley-Davidson’s sub-brand, Live-Wire, specializes in electron-po

Shop Disasters
There are chemicals used regularly in a bike shop that are combustible, corrosive, and potentially explosive, and numerous sources of ignition — welders, battery chargers, grinders — that can set them off. It’s prudent to keep these things apart. Whe

Increase Your Riding Time
I think I’ve hit the trifecta. No, not the horses. Nor have I surreptitiously won the MotoGP championship, the WSBK title and Daytona 200. I’m a never-was when it comes to racing and I’d sooner eat broken glass sprinkled with Tabasco sauce than wager

You have some time off work, and you need to get out and see some countryside. You might have a destination in mind, or maybe you don’t. You start by unfolding your road map and you hit a wall. How do you go about planning an extended ride? Jeff Davi

Remember When?
This is a picture of my dad, Eltjo Laninga, on his motorcycle. The photo was probably taken around 1930 to 1932 or so, when my dad would have been 24-26 years old. The motorbike (can you identify the bike?) was used by my dad as secondary transportat
