    I'm newwwwwwwwwwww

    Heyo; newish to the site...Didn't get the account until yesterday...

    I purchased this bike in Feb of 08. Drove it from Feb-August (08'), put 15,000k on it; and then moved to Ontario, where I was forced to leave it off the road until last weekend. (9000$ a year for insurance?...hahaha)

    I just turned 25; low and behold...1400$...

    Now I'm ready to start rackin' em up again!

    Anyhow, here are a few pics.

    Stopped for a photoshoot while cruising in the rockies






    Bikes prepped for the second of 2 cross-country trips. (Calgary to London Ontario and back.)





    On the bikes and ready to ride!






    These are from the return trip; it rained... For 3 days straight... Pretty much the entirety of our trip...






    Another stop, to warm up/dry up and change out of wet clothes; at a random rest-stop somewhere in the states..
    Rain doesn't really look so bad from some of these pics...but man...it was almost undriveable at times.





    Old bike: 2003 SV1000S





    Pic from the 1st cross-country trip. (Northern Ontario)





    Somewhere in Sask - My leg was burnt to a crisp; it was between 25-30 degree's and I forgot to put on suncreen... half a day of riding with the sun on your legs = no good.





    Somewhere on a random highway south of Sudbury.





    And thennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.... *the dramatic finish*?!
    Cut-off by a guy in an F350 in rush-hour traffic...Oh yeah, he was on his cell phone...:bash AND HE DIDN'T EVEN STOP!!





    Last but not least; the Canadian Rockies in all of their amazing glory:

    Re: I'm newwwwwwwwwwww

    Thanks for the comments guys. I've quickly realized that riding here is MUCH MUCH different (less picturesque and fun?) than riding in Alberta...no twisties and mountains...*sigh. Ah well! But I grew up around here; so it's good to be home either way!

    nice pics...what happen wit ur exhaust on the first pic?
    The stock exhaust is rediculously quiet, so I pulled off the muffler and got an exhaust shop to make a little downspout just to louden it up. (Mainly for security driving on the highway; this was just a temporary "mickey mouse" until I purchased my exhaust.) I've been cut off before because the guy had no idea I was there...never again.

    I now run a Yosh TRC Carbon (full exhaust) with a PCIII

    Welcome! Great pics!!

    Rep power is the amount of reputation points you get. You can give ppl points buy clicking on the link right below their avatar. They go up and down whenever they feel like it though, so don't be overly concerned about them.
