Hi Everyone,

I've been looking through the forum for a while now, but as person new to internet forums in general, haven't really gotten that first post out. Since I'm in MTL, i figure CANADA board would be as good a place as any,...

I'm in MTL (downtown) riding a Blue '01 Bandit 600.
I have been riding for a year, this is my first bike.

I'll keep an eye out on the roads for Local MTL Bandits, I know there are a few around.

Looking to take the first real roadtrip in a few weeks, so Certainly will be dedicating some posts to that..

But for now, just like to say Hello to the BanditAlley..
P

and "Hello: back atcha!
While this is fine place to put your first post, and even better one is the Intro Thread in General Motorcycling.

Salut!

Just yesterday I spotted someone riding a silver 1200 in heavy gear and wondered who it was.

Don't know if he's on the board, but here you show up!

Shrike is also in Montreal, as is at least one other member.

Maybe we should organize a Montreal Bandits Ride.
Gooseman is also from Montreal and he rides one of those nice and rare Bandits 400
So who's up to that?

That'd be cool with me, but I'd probably end up being odd man out since I work weekends.

shrike · « **Reply #5 on:** August 05, 2007, 11:49:01 PM »

I would suggest one of those day everyone has off from work but I think next one would be impossible for me if it's the 4th of september.
Maybe just an evening during the week it would be fun!

I would be completely down with this, as I'm usually without anyone to ride with, and, because a pack of bandits would be significantly cool...

I would be ok with a nice after work, evening ride...as a kind of get-to-knowya type of event...

Or, weekend jaunting is great as well.... I'll be heading out this weekend though, on a trip to Chicago...so I could do something in a couple weeks....

Yes! lets have a little Bandit meet one of these days! I'm usually free evenings, sometimes weekends, but not this month...gonna be outta town the next few weekends, then I'm moving.... :(

Theres a "bike nite" in Laval on Wednesday nights, right off the 13/Samson (that new commercial/shopping area).

also if you guys are looking for rides/activities, join www.m4e.com

Most guys are sport bike riders, but they do organize some nice rides on weekends. I've been out with them a few times...nice bunch of people, no crazies!

I think this Wed might be nice....so if you're down, lemme know!

shrike · « **Reply #8 on:** August 06, 2007, 06:18:07 PM »

Wednesday should be ok with me but it might be raining.
Anyone else besides gooseman and myself?

Barbarian · « **Reply #9 on:** August 06, 2007, 10:04:39 PM »

Sorry, doing the late shift tonight through Wednesday.

Then I'm at work at 4 a.m. on Friday

Then late shift again on the weekend!

yeesh...what the hell do you do again?

:P

GooseMan · « **Reply #11 on:** August 07, 2007, 09:38:00 PM »

OK! looks like it'll rain tomorrow morning, but should clear up in the evening. Gonna be disgustingly humid tho!

So if anyones down for a little Montreal Bandit meet, lemme know! I'll try to get some others on board.

shrike · « **Reply #12 on:** August 07, 2007, 10:43:47 PM »

Well, I am sorry to say but I cannot make it either. It;s the birthday of my GF's uncle so maybe in two weeks. Next week I am on vacation and I might not be in MOntreal. I would like to go somewhere but have not decided on the destination yet.

Actually I might have 1-2 hours tomorrow night but maybe it's not enough
What time do you plan on going there gooseman?
