Happy new year!

Happy new year, CMGers! We’re glad to be rid of 2016 and we’re pumped to be going into 2017. I saw a bike out just today in southern Ontario (Kawasaki 300 Ninja, natch), but for most of us, there’s still another three months or so to go before the roads start cleaning up and the air begins to warm.

That’s okay – it’s time to spend getting our rides ready for the spring. If you’re lucky enough to have a garage or a nice warm shed for storing the bike (or, best of all, an understanding partner who lets you store your pride and joy in the living room), then prepping the bike can be almost as satisfying as riding it. Not quite, but almost.

We’ve had a good few days off here at Canada Moto Guide, and this is the week to get everything rolling again. Come back every day to find out about our plans. And if you’re at the big Supershow bike show this weekend near Toronto airport, I’ll be wandering around on the Friday, saying hello and making sure nothing on two wheels gets to slip past CMG. Send me a note at mark@canadamotoguide.com and I’ll see you there.

All the best for 2017 – it’ll be a good ‘un.
