Flying Squirrel Motorcycle Co’s “On Any Saturday” Rally Takes Over Distillery District
Justin Mastine-Frost October 11, 2023
When Alex de Cartier of Flying Squirrel Motorcycle Co in Toronto first mentioned the “On Any Saturday” moto gathering in the Distillery District, I’m still not entirely sure whether he was being humble, or that he genuinely didn’t anticipate the event’s overall turnout. The first rally of its kind for the moto shop-meets-member club, his early estimates put turnout somewhere around 70 or 80 motorcycles. Boy, was he wrong.
The bright, sunny morning kicked off around 9am, and it took well under an hour before that number was eclipsed — dramatically. By mid-day, over 500 motorcycles of all shapes and sizes — from heavily modified BMWs from the ’90s, to adventure bikes, to a healthy dose of custom Harleys — to descend on Toronto’s historical district for a friendly hang-out with live music, supported by an array of vendors and motorcycle manufacturer sponsors.
