Hey,
Are you the same guy that was in my class at PRS a couple years ago?
You bought your bike cause it was too good of a deal to pass on?

Culverin 03-27-2011 12:11 AM

Good lord.
I've put more km on my 2009 scooter than that bike!

Flat seat like that creeps me out. I'd rather have an indent so I can feel nice and snug.

Holy crap! Did you find it in a barn? :woot2:

What's the top speed on that? Can you actually take it on the highway? :whistle:

I lucked out and found a cheap Sargent seat for my bike on Craigslist. It has a WIDE gel seat and is super comfy! I've never going back to a narrow seat.

Interestingly enough, the person who I bought it from found it in a barn in Saskatchewan. :D

Yes. It can cruise at 100KM/h easily in 4th gear. Redline is at 12,000rpm.

Planning to install clubman/cafe bars and a cafe seat.

vexor 03-28-2011 03:19 PM

bcrdukes 03-30-2011 04:09 PM

taylor192 04-02-2011 08:41 PM

Got out late today, and looks like tomorrow will be good most of the day too!

bcrdukes 04-03-2011 01:00 PM

Just got home from a morning/afternoon ride but the bike is in the shop for a Spring time tune-up.

It's Vespa time. :D

Gtrr33 04-03-2011 01:35 PM

been out since the start of march, but lately the weather has been great.

sinfs 04-03-2011 01:59 PM

New rider here

Bought my 2005 F4i on Thursday, and took it for a spin around the neighborhood this morning. Then went up to the parking lots near PNE for some more practice. Thank god for frame sliders...I've downed the bike 3 times already:failed:

Definitely way steeper learning curve on this bike than the small ones I rode at PRS!

unkicrackie 04-03-2011 05:11 PM

Took the GSX-R600, it was 4 degrees today. I was sick of the anticipation so I ended up riding. Quick little ride, great to be on a bike again but it was so cold!

busdriverman 04-03-2011 05:17 PM

man vancouver weather blows! it is still raining out!

when i uninsured the bike last october i thought that riding would be able to resume in april, but boy was i wrong!

alex.w *// 04-03-2011 05:23 PM

rode yesterday... too bad of the isolated showers =(

maxxxboost 04-06-2011 11:26 PM

So many bikes out on the road,

I feel the itch!

CharlieH 04-06-2011 11:53 PM

got my oil changed at 5th gear today. was sunny but cold as hell.

taylor192 04-07-2011 07:29 AM

4C this morning, cold yet the ride home will be worth it. I finally got to try my Sartso jeans in the cold, and the extra layer of Kevlar sure helps keep my nuts warm - I don't feel nearly like a icicle as I usually do riding in this temp.

taylor192 04-11-2011 07:40 AM

Nice ride in this morning! Still a little chilly at 7C yet my hands and nuts are not frozen - so its getting warmer! Fingers crossed for no rain till late evening.
