    A scottish boy on his way to Toronto!

    Well hello to you all!!

    I have been a memeber for a while, but i have been lurking!

    I think now is the time to introduce myself. My name is G and I am 27, and currently i live in Scotland (for thoese who know, or care, I live just outside Edinburgh in Fife)

    Anways, on the 1st Sept me and my good lady will be heading your way to live for a year....and I cant wait!! On the negative side, i can't bring my bike.

    speaking of which, here she is, a gixer 600 srad, and i love her!!








    anyways, I figured that it would be good to join a forum over in my soon to be new home!! I use forums here and have always found them a great source of information, friendly banter and advice. That said, i was looking for join a forum with bikers...cause you never know, if i can land a job out your way, then a bike may well be getting bought for the summer!! Plus bikers are normally better people in general!

    A bit about me; I love my bike, oddly for a Scot I love ice hockey too, play out here but not at a high level, more for fun now as i have a job that takes alot of my time (IT). I am a keen fisher too, Pike is the fish of choice.

    I can't wait to come out, and hopefully get a ride out with some of you guys one day!

    Cheers

    G

    well, if you're coming in Sept, you may need to wait until 2011 for that ride! :P

    kidding - they'll be a lot of us still on the road then. by nov everyone's off, tho - til April! you'll get plenty of time to get very, very, very good at ice hockey.
    where's the wind?!

    The Visa I have is a year long visa, so its Sept - Sept as long as I can find work.

    Welcome aboard!
    There's alot of the highland blood flowing around here, and yeah, bikers are the best people.
    Keep your eyes on the rides/hookups forum and come out for dinner or one of the many things going all year round!
    Cheers

    Welcome to the board and to the GTA. Not sure which of the two if either you support. However, it may be a good idea to make a connection and start some networking.

    what do you call a Scotsman with a ewe under one arm and a ram under the other?

    bi-sexual?



    and the wife would not let me name the last boy Angus

    Welcome Laddie.

    drive a car for awhile here, before mounting the steed.


    get used to driving on the other side of the road and you could live alot longer.


    Rangers or Celtic ?

    Welcome!

    Now we just need to bus you out to Burrito Boyz just so we can sit you down and listen to you talk

    There is hockey, road hockey, and field hockey, but never say ice hockey.

    Re: A scottish boy on his way to Toronto!

    well thanks for the welcoming! (Execpt you AlienTech! )

    I am neither a celt or a gers fan...not really a huge football fan, but if i am forced, it would be the mighty DAFC (Dunfermline for those not up to speed on 1st division bottlers, home town team)

    thanks yetti, I was thinking much the same thing. I have driven on the other (or should i say wrong?) side of the road in europe a fair wack with work...but i wouldnt say I was totally used to it.

    FZ1Oakville - if I could afford to ship it out, i would.

    DaveG - Ah, i forget you dont need to clarify hockey to Canadians! Is there much of a recreational scene out in Toronto?

    Nyx13 - dont bus me there.....give me a shot of a bike, and ill talk all day!!
