The City of Toronto is Canada's most densely-populated urban metropolis. The multicultural city is one of the fastest growing in North America.

Little do we know that the city has some great little roads hidden away waiting to be discovered by a motorcyclist.

Port Dover Friday the 13th

How do you turn 6,000 into 60,000? Ask residents of Port Dover, Ontario, a small community on the north shore of Lake Erie. Every Friday the 13th Port Dover is filled with over 50,000 motorcyclists. This year marked the 30th anniversary of the event which first began in 1981 to tune of a group of a little over 20 friends having fun while the Rolling Stones sang "Start Me Up" over the radio.
