Hello,
niloC snikneJ here, I live near Hillsburgh, Ontario (80km NW of Toronto). I found this site last October 2007, while researching New Speedmasters(I was also considering:H-D Nightsters, Ducati Monster S2R). I then stumbled upon and instantly purchased a barely used Speedmaster(2004, Sky Blue, only 330(Three-Hundred and Thirty) kilometers on the clock).
This is my first "legal bike" I've ridden dirt bikes since I was 10, and had two other street bikes, neither was registered/licensed, all of them got me where i needed to be, mostly down back roads, until I turned 16 and had access to cars.
I then spent the whole winter looking around here for ideas of what to buy first for Miles, (Kinda Blue, goes for miles, sometimes refered to as Trumpets) and of course making my friends suffer through me showing it off all winter
Me:"come on out to the shed guys, see my new bike"
Friends:"but is -30C, jenkins"
Me:"well bring some wiskey then"
I decided today to register with this little site.
So far I have not needed to post questions, as with a little searching and filtering all my questions have been already answered.
I just wanted to say Hi, and to give thanks to all the knowledgeable members on this site.
BTW: the first thing I bought was AI delete, Clutch Cover and Boot, and Tie Down Rails from NewBonneville.
Next Up: SS Longcannons, Freak(or something similar), and some tastefully applied stipes me thinks.
Thanks for all the help so far.
Peas,
C.
