Ultimate Ontario Group Ride — DRG Crew, Lakeside Loops and a Vanishing Devil

Canada, day two. Same rider from Dubai, new roads, new friends, and the same addiction to Tim Hortons. Good morning from Burlington — today I'm riding with the DRG riders, all thanks to a dear old friend who plugged me into the crew faster than you can say double-double. The squad: Jawad, Ashish, Farhan, and Zeeshan — known as Hell's Devil, because every time there's a corner he vanishes like he found a wormhole.

The Rental That Exceeded Expectations

For this trip I rented a BMW F750 GS at about 230 Canadian dollars a day, and it was already exceeding expectations: smooth throttle, torquey enough to make you smile, and nimble in the tight stuff. I'd hauled my full riding kit from Dubai for these four days of Canadian adventures, because the best souvenir is riding footage without road rash. The plan was simple — Milton, Burlington, Stoney Creek, back to Milton. Lakeside vibes, a taste of Niagara Escarpment scenery, and a few cheeky curves to let Hell's Devil do his disappearing act.

Corners with Personality

First impressions: Ontario roads are like that cousin who did well in life — generally smooth, well-kept, and somehow always near water. The weather was so perfect that if I could order this climate on an app, I'd subscribe. The Niagara Escarpment frames the whole region with hills and ridges that make the landscape breathe deeper and gift riders gentle elevation changes — the kind of place that makes you downshift two gears just to hear the bike sing.

Canadian corners have a personality. Not angry, just confident. They say: take me smoothly and we'll have fun. And Hell's Devil hears that — and teleports.

We settled into a rhythm: Jawad steady and surgical, Ashish in full chill touring posture, Farhan keeping the formation neat, and me somewhere in the middle, coaching myself on lane position like a good student who still wants extra dessert. (If you want to know exactly what I was muttering inside my helmet, it's all in the Ontario M1 and M2 licence video — the training is genuinely excellent.)

Fuel Stops Are Social Hubs

Quick coffee stop, because we keep our Dubai traditions even overseas. New roads, same banter: how's the GS? Did you see that bend? Who's paying? The holy trinity of group rides. Stoney Creek delivers subtle elevation cues — a ridge here, a view there — and locals know there are legendary twisties just off this corridor, tight and technical and best enjoyed respectfully. We kept it sensible, but it's nice to know the playground's close.

Pro tip for visiting riders: Ontario fuel stops are social hubs. You'll meet Harley lifers, sport-bike ninjas, and curious uncles asking how many cc is that — and the answer is always enough to make you late for lunch. That was our DRG loop: simple route, great company, and a GS that made me seriously consider switching allegiances. Next up I rode out to meet a local legend — Aurangzeb of Lahore Farms — to trade horsepower for horsepower.
