    Post And yet another new member...

    Okay, I'm usually a quiet/shy kinda guy, so introducing myself is rather difficult... here goes...

    I've been riding sport bikes since 1984 at age 21, which will be 25 years riding this summer. I started on a 1983 Honda CBX550FD, then moved up to a 1985 Suzuki GS750SF Katana, which got written off thanks to a cager that didn't like stopping at stop signs, so I got another (1986 GS750SG) Katana that I kept for around 17 years in a love/hate relationhsip; loved the bike but hated the constant electrical problems in Suzuki's GS series bikes. In 2000 I bought a Honda RC-51, which is my current baby... love that bike! Looks, feels, and fits great!

    I'm in downtown Toronto at Jarvis and Maitland and agree with scottwchris's describing it as 'Hookers Hollow'... if the name fits... :P

    Due to my work schedule it's really difficult to find the time to get out and ride as much as I'd like, especially on weekends, but I keep trying.

    Guess that's all there is to know about me without getting into what colour of underwear I like...

    Wow, I didn't know we'd become such good friends, because if we had, you'd know that I give **** before I give favors and I don't even give my best friends **** so your chances of getting a favor are pretty ******* slim. - Go

    Thanks Azia, but i kinda got kicked off Facebook. They said I had to fill out my profile with all my personal data or get booted. I wouldn't, so they did! I'm too much into privacy to post all my personal information on the big-bad-www and I can be really stubborn...

    Really? I don't have all my info filled on facebook and they haven't kicked me out. I wish they did. would give me an excuse to get out of it without insulting all the people I have no interest in talking to.

    Welcome, Not so sure about them putting that place on the map though, it's been like that for eons, pretty funny when the old hotel was at the corner of Jarvis and Dundas rented rooms out by the hour, or was that half hour, anyway, the girls would line up on the concrete wall of the Sears parking lot, Hotels gone now. But certainly not the hookers and they have yet to put it on the map.

    Which group on Facebook, there are several I'm a member of. Love the Cafe Racer group, you have to check out the video by Hector Catre of his 11+ mile run through "Tail of the Dragon" at Deals Gap NC

    Hmmm... I see the faux women around this area every time I entre and leave my condo in the late or early hours, and even if they were genetically female, I would never classify them as ladies!
