Stormi:

What could possibly be more important than riding!

The next time you guys get through St. Albert on a ride PM me, I would gladly meet up for a java.

Believe me, nothing I -want- to do.  

We might be through tomorrow.  I'll PM if we are.

One thing's for sure I'm part of a very small group, too old to ride with the kids and their sport rockets, and too fast to ride with most of my middle age friends on their motorcouches.

So the big question is, why aren't more middle aged Canadian men getting on to Bandits?[/url]


most of the guys over 35 in my area are on kawi triples and various sportbikes.  as for bandits i think there are about a half dozen between oromocto and Fredericton, most of those owned by guys 26 and under.  mine so far is the only naked. I'm getting some help from deepink as far as logistics goes towards swapping my forks and wheel front end with an 05 gsxr 1000, pics definitely not avail until spring sadly
help me, i want to fight in the streets but my mother won't let me

Another representative of the great white north here, 25 and not a man, but the Bandit still wins out.
I keep looking at it...hoping the weather would warm up. The bike, 1200 k5, is from QC so somebody there rode it (a lot judging by the mileage) it's been stock...up till now. I should be naked, with a slip on/jet kit by summer.
Glad to see others are watching the snow as hopefully as I am.

Wow! Got to admire that spirit. Reminds me when I used to scuba dive in Dutch Harbor AK. Defiantly looks like the ride that tops all rides Baza.

Hey guys.
Another Bandit owner here in Kitchener. I've got a black '06 650.
I do alot of my Sunday rides out on the backroads in the Guelph area. Lots of nice stuff in that area. Maybe see some of you out there this summer.

Hey DaveG. Maybe we'll set something up and meet out there sometime. I will actually be moving to Guelph in May so I'll be around there even more.
