It was filmed in fall of 2016 by a member of the Ottawa Valley Touring Club, a club I belonged to in the early 80s. If you have 15 minutes to spare, it is a ride that starts on the South Lavant Road just west of Robertson Lake here in Ontario. At the stop sign it turns south on Snow Road 509 towards Sharbot Lake. These are the type of roads I like to ride, especially in the fall.

Nortoon,
Nice video clip and curvy rds with colorful trees...
....I pointed at your CB my laser speed gun and noticed one thing:
* you guys are doing 121 km/h in an 80 km/h speed zone...LOL..LOL..
In autumn, we go to Muskoka to have an identical scenario.. have a safe
pb
They do look like they are scooting along after the stop sign on Snow Road 509. But having ridden the section of the South Lavant Road west of Robertson Lake: first, second and sometimes third gear at low RMP is the best you can do.
My 2017 EX whines and balks going around Robertson Lake because I have to reign her with first gear. Lots of grumbling and snorting from the mufflers.
Search out Lavant, Ontario on Google Maps. Then move to street view. Turn the little guy with the big pointer around so he goes west around the lake. Every click on the roadway becomes another corner.
