Keele St and St Clair Ave W, ne corner. In the 1950s, this was a Supertest station. (It stood to the south of the former Canadian National Electric Railways West Toronto station, once the starting point for the interurban radial railway line that ran north-west to Guelph.)

I got this from a friend of the Mrs. who was cleaning out things from her father's house. This is just like new and also has the Maritime Provinces on the reverse, which will be nice for this summer's road trip.
Dominating the category for quite a few time. Suzuki knows how to do it. Picture taken by my friend Pedro Lopes.
This bike has the best interface between man and machine. She understands what we need. Well done, Yamaha! Picture taken by my friend Pedro Lopes.

Massimo Tamburin would have been proud to create this bike, like the iconic 916, the first of a kind. The 1098 S handles like a Ducati must do. Picture taken by my friend Pedro Lopes.

This is one of my favourite superbikes. It handles like a 600cc, but has a much stronger engine. This baby revs up to 15.000 rpm. Picture taken by my friend Pedro Lopes.
The most sophisticated of the Japanese is also a very flickable bike. Picture taken by my friend Pedro Lopes.

In 1936 SuperTest had 342 stations which it owned and operated. There were 800 dealers and 5000 consumer accounts.
The sign on the left reads: Jack Lloyd, Groceries, Gas, Oil, Tires, Boats, Cabins.
Don Brown remembers: "The store was perched on the shoulder of the road directly across from "The Pines" at Brown's Park. It was a tiny place with basics and gas. The building had living quarters in the south end. There was a porch and a deck overlooking the lake. It was one of the most ramshackle, unsafe structures I've ever seen.
I suppose I weighed about 50 pounds back then, and I was afraid to walk on it. Irv and Gene Brown managed the store until they built their own two miles north. My sister Ruth Lloyd (and husband Jack Lloyd) operated the store and lastly, a man named Matt McLeod.
One photo shows my father, long-time guest, Major Gerow, and McLeod. It's also a good shot of the old hand lever "Supertest" gas pump. When Hwy 41 was improved and widened around 1952 or 53, my father (Bryce Brown) moved the building down the hill to the beach, where it lived out its life as cottage number 8.

The gentleman in the light green shirt is Bob Hayward's nephew. Bob Hayward piloted the Miss Supertest series of hydroplane speedboats for James Thompson until he died in an accident during a race in the Detroit River in 1961. The Bob Hayward YMCA or "The Bob" as it's known by many was named after him.
