Welcome to the forum Steve. I have been through Mississauga a few times. I remember getting tied up in a traffic jam on the 401 a few years ago. I think I spent more time with my feet on the pavement than on my footpegs going through Toronto. Top it off it was pouring rain. I was trapped by the traffic for about two hours. I finally got off the 401 and took some two lanes to get out of there. Again, welcome to the forum and I hope you can meet us at one of the campouts that are being organized.

That's why I choose to live in a small town . . . I hate big city traffic. I was trapped by road construction in Sioux Falls, Iowa last summer. It was hot and slow. I had to keep shutting my bike down to keep it from totally frying itself in the high 90 degree heat. It felt like 120 degrees on the pavement. I try to avoid big towns but ya can't always do that.

Welcome, Steve!
I put a lot of miles and smiles on a Venture Royale, the 'model' for your bike. You've got a great platform for camping, there!
Glad you are here!

I got the trailer delivered home today and after removing the plywood box on the tongue I found the manufacturers plate .It was made by High and Dry Camping in Breslau On in May 1992.The company is now defunct and long gone.Hooked it to my bike and did a quick round of my townhouse complex and other than the speedbumps I couldn't feel it behind me :D
