I'm an exile Quebecer. Born and raised in Point Claire (Valois). My wife is from Cartierville. I still have friends in Dollard and I always make my first trip of the riding season to Montreal. That's just a little over 100 days away.

Well I guess I should certainly see you around. I myself am from PTC and live just up the street from Valois....even went to LPHS..

I am not from Canada but Buffalo. Still white and north. I NEVER see a Bandit down here. Well maybe two total. Plus a sweet silver 03 naked for sale at the dealer by me.

Well you'll always be welcome to ride in Canada anytime.....sorry but no Naked's here.....

Just adding my name to the list. Yea, it's a loooonnnnggg ride to Toronto from here. And I'm not really that interested to meeting at The Pas. Easier to get to Colorado.

A couple of buddies and I are trying to organize a run to Colorado next July. Let me know if any other Canadians are interested, we'll send you the details. Likely 2nd week of July, and a run from the BC Interior through Wash, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, likely Utah & possily Oregon on the way home. Basically back and forth through the Rockies with some changes on the way home.

Hey Pmackie:

I just noticed you were in Cranbrook. You should check out out annual Banff run on Sport Touring Network. (Usually in early Sept). I have been blessed with organizing it this year and will post some information in the Canadian Region thread soon.

I have decided that most Bandit owners somehow hide a lot. I just met a fellow here in St. Albert who after our discussion knows of several Bandits in my town. I thought I was the only one!

It must be the middle age group most of us are in, and having to do the domestic things which cuts into riding time.

Looks like I'm the only downtown Toronto representative after Robin sells his 600. Here is the bike, minus the tacky yellow grabrail that got properly re-painted blue as one of my winter projects:

Looks like I'm the only one so far from Nova Scotia. Just can't wait to start riding.

Yes, that's it :). This photo brings back memories as the bike got quite a few mods in the mean time and about 15,000Km on the odometer. The Lockheed Super Constellation in the background is gone too :(, so I'll have to find another scenery to pose the Bandit at next time.

Hey Bazza!

When is the Banff Run?? I still have the bandit, and I'm only 10 mins north of you. She's seeing a lot of use, as well as the 919. We're around 6000kms this year between the two of them.

Hey Stormi:

The folks over at STN are still contemplating a 2006 Banff run. Seems some of the people in the US did not like riding on snow! I will keep you posted.

LOL! wimps.

Ok,.. in truth, I haven't ridden in snow yet.

Other than the parkway, I wouldn't think that should be a risk in Banff or Jasper in September. It hasn't been a problem any of the times we've been there in September in the past,... was that a pic of last year's ride?

Stormi:

That was last years ride!

I will pass along the link to you here for the plans this year...
