Hello from Ontario, Canada
Hi all. Found this forum on my quest to learn about my new bike, a 2009 Bandit 1250 ABS, and get to know some fellow bandit riders. My bike is barely at the 1st break-in interval and the weather here is turning typical Canada in November (wet, cold, frost) so I may not get to know her too well this year but hopefully know a bit more by the Spring thaw!
I hear I can expect better handling from my Bandit than from my last bike, a 2006 Yamaha VMax! LOL! Cheers Blaine |

Nice up there in the summer. I've raced Mosport. Enjoy your new scooter.

Re: Hello from Ontario, Canada
Thank-you for the welcomes. I'd love to do a road trip south...I love the summers but starting to really dislike winters in Canada. Until it warms up again I guess I'll keep pluckin' the banjo, drink some bourbon and think southern thoughts!
I live in Oshawa, Ontario which is only 30 min from Mosport. Give me a mailing address and I'll see about the coffee and hockey balls! Cheers! Blaine |

Don't let them fool you about the nice weather right now - the couple months you don't ride up there in the winter is the same as the couple months it's torture to ride here in the summer. Nice that Canadian beer is still cheaper here then there |
