In the early 80s my Ottawa Valley Touring Club used to hire a large bus and driver to go to the Toronto Motorcycle Show in March. It was always full, with those that missed the bus car pooling behind.
March is a snowy month in Ottawa, so it lifted our spirits to see the snow disappearing as we travelled. As Toronto has milder winters, it was not unusual to see motorcycles in the parking lot.
Back then new models being offered by the Japanese manufacturers almost every year, so there was always something new to see.
It was a great "road trip" and had everyone looking forward to the new riding season.
