G'day from Toronto Empty G'day from Toronto

Post  Bruin Thu 17 Apr 2014, 9:57 am

Hello all! I'm an Irishman living in Toronto and I picked up my 2012 GSX1250FA back in November and have been looking for a decent forum. Unfortunately there are none based out of North America so I hope you don't mind me crashing here  Very Happy 

I've been riding for 17 yrs and have many bikes over the time (most of them have been Kwackers). This is only my 2nd Suzook. Loving it so far but with the brutal winter we just had I haven't clocked up that many KMs yet.

Look forward to 'meeting' you all and gaining lots of insight into the big beast!

Welcome to the forum, Paddy.
Top 'O the mornin' to ya. Begorra, Begorra.
Now that all the Irish fun is out of the way, you'll find a lot of great people on here and good advice.
Lots of belly laughs to.
I was in Toronto the other day. Toronto, NSW Australia. Lol

Welcome to the forum Bruin. Of course we don't mind you dropping in here. We've got members from all over the world, Italy, Sweden, England, another Canadian just to name a few.

That was one damn cold winter you guys just went through. I don't know how you lot do it, too bloody cold for me.

Welcome to the forum m8, I know one thing us Queenslanders and Canadians have in common, I'll bet no-one can guess what it is....ay. 
 scratch 





(It's the use of the "ay" as a positive reinforcement or a question of the last spoken statement, it's a quicker way of saying, you agree with what I just said, don't you?....or what the ferk did you just say)



Not as funny when I explain it but still a bit humerous .... ay!

Yep, too true 2W. Good thing I'm not in Qld!  Very Happy 
We moved up this way from Orange, now I imagine that's worse weather than you get in Sale!
I once saw a bloke riding in winter (snow) in Orange with his stabilisers/training wheels/feet out to keep himself upright  affraid

And that's another reason why having three feet on the ground at all (well most) times is safer...

I don't know how we survive it over here either. I hate winter but I guess that's what I get for marrying a Canuck lol

Yep being Irish I have no choice but to support Boston in everything lol but Bear has always been my nickname and so it just got changed to Bruin over here.

Thanks for all the warm welcomes! Had the bike out again tonight......what a blast. It's gonna be a good summer  Twisted Evil
