New guy from Victoria, British Columbia

LegB4Wicket · April 14th, 2010, 07:31 PM

Hi everyone,

Just want to introduce myself. I've been lurking on the forum for a while now but have decided to take the plunge.

I live in Victoria, British Columbia and I ride a blue 2009 Ninja. I purchased it new in November 2008 and have been riding it ever since. It's my second motorcycle, after a 1987 Honda CBX250.

I was thinking of selling the Ninja but will hold off for the year. It does everyone I want it to do and more. That being said, I've just ordered an Area P exhaust with a jet kit and will throw on a K&N air filter when I install it.

Anyway, I look forward to contributing to the forum and getting to know fellow members.

I'm also planning a little road trip this summer to the Yukon (Whitehorse) and the North West Territories (Yellowknife), returning to Vancouver Island through Alberta and the Rockies. I was planning on purchasing BMW 650GS for the but I want to challenge myself and try it on the the Ninja.

If your in Victoria area and want to got for a ride, shoot me a message.

Here's a bad picture I took a few days ago from a ride out to Port Renfrew.

Cheers,

Ben

Hey, I was out at bike night last night. Been on IR for a few months now. Just look for the bumblebee bike and the camo jacket. Just be warned... I might ask to ride your bike.
