Thread: Mom has a new ride

It looks perfect. what year must be 90's, nice find

85, but low mileage (like 22,000km/15,000mi). Here's the history of the vehicle:
1) Guy that got caught going 100kmph/60mph over the limit and lost his licence almost as soon as he got the bike.
2) Car dealership employee with very little spare time
3) Car dealership employee with very little spare time
4) Mom
In addition to their professional and family obligations, Ontario's riding season is very short and bikes are garaged during winter, so the resale values are very high. The other alternative would have been a naked SV650 for about $6000.

LOL, I read your post, you mom and a bike that will go 130-140. I thought My GOD you mom likes to ride fast. I will roll 150 now and then but 130 on a regular basis? Then I realized it was KPH not MPH.

Lol yeah.. This one will get'er up to 110-115 but for cruising, it's more like the 80mph range (without attracting too much negative attention from uniformed tax collectors).

And now please picture of Mom on bike please!

Still too cold to ride.. We're on the tail end of the coldest winter in 12 years. Next week, the lows will be at about -10. The seller is storing the bike until it gets warm enough for him to ride it over. I know a guy who does housecalls for safety inspections (did mine for $80.. most shops charge $60 but you have to take the bike to the shop). Once we get it inspected, insured and plated, we'll start her training. In addition to that, we have to get some gear for her -- lid, gloves, Draggin' jeans (kevlar-reinforced) and boots (since I'll give her my ballistic jacket). I will post pics of her in full gear and ridin' that FJ

When you post pics like that of a bike like that for a price like that, when gas prices are where they are and going where they are going you make me want to get a bike. I used to off road a little but since I was trained as an EMT I've called them DonnerCycles but boy does that look fun!
