Hey guys!
Friday night would suit us! I teach until 7 but my last lesson is unconfirmed. Maybe grab a drink after? Congrats on the new bike Owen...very cool! Anyways...it'd be great to see you all again. You won't have my slow 125 as I won't be out this season as I'm moving to NY for chiropractic college. My email is lmcmu068@uottawa.ca and my cell is 6138841289. If you guys want to touch base!

Hi Guys,
I'm going to head to the show this afternoon probably around 1:00pm. Anyone interested in going around that time? I know I heard a few people mention Friday, and some Sunday, but I'm not available at all on Sunday. If anyone is interested, post up here, or give me a call on my cell (ottawa area code) 222 7029. Did anyone go last night? If so, how was it? Cheers, Owen |

I went this afternoon also after all...
I was disappointed you? There really wasn't much. Only bike I sat on was the CBR600 because that was the only 600cc of the whole show. 19$ with parking. I hear montreal show much better. sorry Owen didn't get your msg in time. Last futzed with by Alex46; January 16th, 2012 at 10:41 AM. |

Hi Alex,
I actually ended up going on the Sunday for a few hours, and I would definitely agree with you, it was a huge disappointment! Like you, I got dinged with the $7 parking fee in addition to the $12 entrance fee, and the parking was a pretty shameless money grab. The show was probably 75% Harley Davidson, 15% dirt bike, and about 10% sport bike which was the biggest disappointment for me. I have absolutely no interest in Harley Davidson bikes, and that left me with very little to look at. The booths also reflected the above ratios with most of the booths selling things like giant leather saddles, leather HD jackets, cowboy boots, and those half-head helmets meant for people with half a brain. Highlights were: - Seeing and sitting on the KTM RC8 (an absolutely stunning bike) - Seeing and sitting on the MV Agusta F4 (again, very nice, but a little over the top) - Seeing the various 2012 600cc sport bikes from Yamaha, Honda, Suzuki and Kawasaki - Some of the vintage bikes were pretty cool - especially the vintage ice racer. - Most of the folks at the booths were friendly and easy going with the bikes on display. Low points were: - Absolutely no sport bike gear (no helmets, gloves, accessories etc...) - Very few actual sport bikes - A relatively small show overall, you could see everything within an hour - Excessive entry and parking fee for less than an hour of entertainment Needless to say, I won't be going back next year. Cheers, Owen |

Nice! I've really had my eyes on the new 2012 Ninja 650's. Big thing for me is the cheaper insurance. But it doesn't come in blue : (

Hi Guys,
I just posted my 250 for sale here: http://ottawa.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehic...AdIdZ362214492 If you know anyone in the Ottawa area who is looking for a 250, let them know! The bike has always been treated with the utmost care, and has had some great modifications done to it. Anyone who rode with our group last year knows that it's a very nice 250! Cheers, Owen |

Not that this helps but I used to live in St. Catharines, now I live close to Stratford. And not really planning on riding my bike to St. Catharines. Good luck though.

New Ottawa Thread!
Hi Guys,
I re-started an Ottawa specific group ride thread after the one from last year was merged into this thread. Here it is: http://www.ninjette.org/forums/showt...308#post458308 Organizing a group ride across all of Ontario probably isn't a realistic prospect, so I think it's better to keep things local. If you were a contributor to last season's Ottawa thread, or a regular participant in the Ottawa weekly group rides, swing by and say hi! Cheers, Owen |
