Hey All,
I've finally decide it is time to jump all in and get my bike, so figured it's a good time to introduce myself. Here is a bit on me and why I decided to start riding.
I'm a 35 year old who was recently married living downtown who is heavy into sports (hockey, golf, biking etc). Growing up around racing, spending most of my childhood at Mosport. My family is also heavy into cars and bikes with my father and 1 uncle being avid riders for 30+ years.
While on my honeymoon we rented a number of Vespa's riding in Rome, Florence, Sorrento and Amalfi coast, Majorca and Barcelona. My wife knowing I have wanted a bike for years recommended I should get my licence after being on the back while I traversed the crazy euro roads. I've also ridden a wide variety of bikes: Valkrie, R1, CBR, FZ's and Vulcan. I've also spent countless hours as a passenger on my fathers bike growing up.
I just completed my M1 exit with no points and had a blast, even if it was cold and wet all weekend. I'm pretty excited to get my M2 in the new year.
I am up in the air on bikes. I have an opportunity to ride a 2016 Vulcan 900 for a year paying only insurance, but really want a FZ-07. I'll be making the final decision in March. Most of my interest and questions at this point will be gear related, I want to be sure I am well protected without breaking the bank.
This winter is going to feel like the longest ever, come soon spring!
