Hi from a very NEW rider

#1 Unread post by 2002TiNK »

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!

Welcome to the board.
Oh, and nice power cruiser. Enjoy!
I always follow the rules.
The only exception to the rule occurs when I make an exception to the rule not to make an exception to the rule and that only occurs under exceptional circumstances.

Welcome to the board. Not taking anything away from this site. You may also want to check out http://www.gtamotorcycle.com/forum/ Under the rides/hookup section plenty of meets going on around the GTA. Maybe run into (literally) you at one of the meets.
