Hello,
I stumbled upon this forum a couple days ago and seems like a very friendly community.
I'm 24 years old and from Ottawa. I just got my licence in september and took a Safety course on thanksgiving weekend in October (the last one offered for the season in Ottawa.) Now I'm very anxious and nervous about getting on a bike again. I'll be borrowing my brother's Kawasaki Eliminator 125cc for the time being until I can afford my own bike or until he upgrades (and sells his to me.)
I am really looking forward to the spring and practicing the skills I learned almost 6 months ago. Nice to meet you all, Cheers!

Welcome, Pink! I'm in Gananoque, about 1 1/2hrs south of you. My sweetie Angie has been riding for five years now and I have a good friend who I consider as my sister in Orleans; if you need someone to ride with just let us know.

Is a Kawi eliminator 125cc a street bike, not to be rude just curious.... Also to be pretty in pink, its always great to see more and more female riders..... good luck practicing your skills....

The eliminator is a cruiser. It's a low riding bike, I'll definately want something a little taller for my next bike as I'm not that short.

Well I'm not entirely sure what my next bike will be. I think my first upgrade will be to something with a 500cc engine, and I really like the cruisers. I think I need to do some more research before I can decide on what I'll upgrade to.

Welcome to the TMW Forums Pink . My spousette is 6' and she is really comfortable on her Suzuki Maruader .
I built an Eliminator the other day and it was the first one I ever saw . Reminded me of a pygmy Meanstreak.............
Kindest regards, Wizzard........
