Hey everyone,
I'm not a new rider, I've had my motorcycle license since 2008 (M2), had a 1998 kawi ZX6R for a couple of years and sold it to pay off some debt. I'm going for my M June 24
I figured getting another bike after selling my old one would be easy. yeah right.
Here's where things went sour.
The very first time I went onto the highway with my M2 (2008), i was cruising at a decent speed, didn't realize I was doing 20Km over the limit (100) i had an OPP officer pull me over, she was extremely nice btw, probably because i shut off the bike, removed the keys, put them on the floor and removed my helmet.
She said that usually she would let things like this slide, but because i was new to riding she said that giving me a ticket would help teach a valuable lesson. I wasn't too please but I've learned from that and think back to that situation and have become a more responsible driver, and rider
She also said to go to court and if my record remained free of tickets she would drop the speed from 20 to 10 over, so no points and a small fine. I wasn't going to argue I did what she told me to do and 7 months later I had a 10 k over ticket on my record.
Now the fun part.
(sorry long story but I'm very excited about today (June 5th).
I bought my new to me bike last may 2011, its a 2006 kawasaki NInja ZX636 special edition with 3,000KM on it. My previous SF agent said that getting a new bike wouldn't effect my rates, well it did, I had to wait 1 year from last may until today JUNE 5 in order to insure the bike without my car insurance getting jacked up (multi-vehicle insurance) so as of today I get to ride again !!!! I'm super excited!
here is my bike today I will put two pics up, what it was when i first got it and what I've done to it over the year. I'm very please with what i've done to it, I know a lot of people say they don't like a lot of decals or the flames (the original owner didn't like them lol, but I seem to like them and because its a special edition bike, i feel they have to be on
things i've done would be adding the original flame decals back onto the bike, it was long evening but i got them done myself
pazzo levers, black with red adjusters
hotbodies tinted windscreen
flush front turn signals
solo seat cover
HID headlights
(i have to install still), integrated tail light from Advanced Lighting.
The only imperfection on this bike is a small zipper scratch on top of the gas tank.
