Northeast of Toronto - about as far from the ocean as you can get

Mr.H is the GL1100 with Dnepr sidecar that is my daily driver in the warm half of the year. I was getting ready to change to Eccles (the one I drive in winter) when I realized that I had not taken any video on Mr.H this year.
And that it was too late for the fall colours.
Again.
So I decided I'd better go for a ride with the camera running and this is the result.

Less than 4 weeks after the last video the scenery looks a bit different. This wasn't the 1st ride of the season on Eccles (CX650E based winter machine) or even the 1st ride outside of our village but it was the 1st with snow on the ground.
I cut this video short because there is a lot of camera shake. I had hoped that replacing the old, rusted out exhaust system would make a bigger difference but it looks like I need to start experimenting with the camera mount again.

I think I've solved the camera shake. One of the things that kept me from mounting the camera on the handlebar (like I did on the summer bike) was that there isn't a lot of room and in order for it to not hit anything when steering hard a lot more of the bike's fairing would be in frame; A few days before New Year's I decided that would be better than the shake so I came up with an entirely new mount. I still need to modify the new mount so that the camera will sit more level left to right and a few other details but I'm pretty happy with the result so far.
Oh, and Happy New Year

It was nice out (if only a few degrees above freezing) on Thursday and the forecast said an ice storm was coming so I went for a ride.
This video is a bit different from my usual because I didn't edit it except at the beginning & end so what you see is what I saw (except I saw the top of the windshield, not the side of the fairing).

Ice storm?! What are you talking about. It was 90 degrees two days ago, and I have the sweaty bicycle jersey to prove it. 
I always enjoy a visit to the fertile lands of the north. Nice ride, great soundtrack. Thanks for bringing me along.
