Hi from TiNK
I ride a 2002 750 Magna.
Bought off eBay and shipped to Canada from Texas.
GREAT DEAL AND GREAT BIKE.
I can honestly say I am a semi-pro when it comes to importing a vehicle to Canada so ask away.
Yes, I’m a girl and yes, it’s my first bike.
I had some great advice as to which bike would suit me. I am not that big and have over-come the "size" issue and have finally bonded with my bike.
Have graduated from industrial area/parking lots to the "real" roads.
Took my "virgin" cruise on Saturday from south Brampton to Schomberg.
3 HRS later...well, I AM HOOKED!
Would love to hear from you!

Hi Tink,
I was reading your post and make me wonder about your bike from Texas.
I am a girl too. Just finished my M2 at Sheridan. I do not have experience. I alway was as a backpack. It is time for me to take control of the bike. Is it posible you can call me or write to my e-mail alalife73@gmail regarding your bike purchase . I heard that you can make a good deal bringing bike across the border.
I am in process of searching but have no one to help me, give some advises. I am looking for something small cruser and easy on insurance. Also I need practice with riding.I do not want to waist my money, time doing my license and do not have bike That would be nice if we can hooked up. I live in Burlington.
Let me know
Maybe we can feel the wind in our hair together. Have good one
