Hello From Ontario, Canada

#1 Unread post by mcmahonm »

Hello folks, thought I might join you group to see if I can learn a few things. I currently have a 2003 Ninja 500, hopefully when the freezing weather breaks it will be replaced with a 2006 Katana 600. I have only been riding for about 3 years now, but love it. I have met some great people and found some awsome roads.

Pulled the Trigger

Well I did it today, 1 brand new 2006 Suzuki Katana 600 - black. Well I would love a GSXR but the insurance would probably cause my wife to throw me out and keep the bike for herself.

I kinda feel like a kid at christmas, buying a 600cc bike to replace the bike I bought to learn on.

I look forward to chatting with you all as the season progresses
