I'm not sure about BC, I know in Alberta there's a course you can take (they even rent you the bikes for crying out loud) and they teach you pretty much everything, even how to lay down a bike should you need to. Then you get a discount on your license.

The last bike I had (2007 Katana 750) I bent the frame on...so I'm excited to get this beast. And when I say beast I mean it...this thing has 4 pipes running from the engine, 1100 cc...big bike for someone like me (5'7")

Well I have my bike license from the US already. We'll see what they say about riding here. I had a Honda for about 3 years when I lived down in Miami. For me a bike always seemed like a waste with the weather up here but now I am starting to consider it.

Oh and 20K is a bit more than I would actually pay

He did put an insane amount of money into this bike though. I think off the lot it was about $22K when all was said and done (base was $16K, so he upgraded about everything) and then with some of the aftermarket mods, it up to about 30K! Its a 2007, so not too old.

Besides wearing his really sweaty helmet, it was so nice to ride this thing. A little more powerful than I am used to but I could manage

mmmm that honda made me drool a little.

Pretty neat how now you can buy ready made choppers. Takes some of the fun out of it though.

I've decided to bobber the bike. Keep the original frame and all the fun stuff...take it back about 30 years to a 1950s look...
