W00t my first Bandit!
« on: February 18, 2007, 02:56:46 PM »
Just got my 2004 B12s yesterday...and what can i say?  I had bought it a week previous, and took delivery off it yesterday, oh how that week of anticipation killed me.  Anyways, the rains here in Vancouver held off for most of the day, so i managed to put about 200km on the thing :)  .  February riding!?! it was great....Sorry this is kinda rambling but it was pretty exciting...And i had no idea that this beast would bring up that front tire so easily  :shock:  ...well it looks like the rain is still hiding in the clouds today, so i think i might have to go for a ride!

Good to hear, welcome to the club.  


Most of us rambled when we got our bike and go to talk about it.  

Enjoy that February riding, and spring isn't that far away.

When you have a moment take a quick cloth to it and snap a photo on the road for your next post.

End of March will likely be the earliest here as well. Lots of snow to go, but at least it's melting at the moment.

I saw some grass recently, I had to move the lawn mower in the shed after shoveling a path to it, and some fell out. :beers:
