Can I get a show of hands please ?

I took the course at Humber College in the 70's with the intent of getting my license and a dual purpose Yamaha.I got sidetracked and rode competitive dirt for about 5 years and then bought a dually.Got stopped for 10 over on Hwy 6.Cop gave me a lecture and made me promise to get my license.Only ticket i have ever had on 2 wheels!
 
Bought my first bike before I had a License, rode it home from the dealership, rode around T.O. for a couple of weeks and then went for my M License at the Keel and 401 test center.
I was lucky never to have been pull over by the police. - that was a number of years ago. LOL

Nice bike.
I think you forgot the other important question........ How many people bought a bike before getting an insurance quote only to find out that its almost as much as the bike cost for the first year.:rolleyes:

Or how many people sold their first bike before getting their license. Motorcycling isn't for everyone.

Lol , perhaps all the new riders that checked out that thread with the you tube vid of the guy cutting a dear in half then calling his mom crying while laying on the ground ! OUCH !
 
LMAO, Welcome...

I will admit to riding my first bike without license or insurance for a couple of days. Then, wrote the test at the ministry a couple of days later. (No M1 or M2 at the time - just full M).

Then I had to fork over the $180.00 to insure it for the six month term. (those were the days - $2.00/hour minimum wage – a six pack cost less than $3.00 and - $1.00 to fill the tank).
 
I got my M2....then 7 months later I got my first bike.

...and congratz to the OP on the VFR. :cool:
 
I bought my first bike in Dec. 2011. Wrote my M1 in February, 2012. The weather was so nice in March that I HAD to take it out a few times. Went for my MSF course/got my M2 in April. Now, I'm out on it every chance I can get. You're going to LOVE it.
 
my bike was delivered on last week of July last year, I stared at it for 1 agonizing month in my car port before i got my M1.
 
Well , another step complete ...
I wrote and passed my M1 written :) Having said that , boy I couldn't believe the broken English on the exam . I thought I was in need of a dam translator for heaven sake , and yes English is my first and only language

Anyway , one more step closer :D

Congrats! Don't worry about English. I have a friend who immigrated from England (born and raised there), and morons from Canada immigration made him write English proficiency test for his citizenship.
 
Same here, my girlfriend bought me a gsxr for my birthday but my M1x was scheduled for end of April! Sat on it and made lots of noises while I took out her sister's cbr cause I didn't want to drop my own bike XD
 
LOL! I had a bike before I was legal to have a license (10 yr old).
I was lucky enough to grow up in the country, I grew up driving bikes, boats, "field cars" and snowmobiles. B)
 
I drove and rode for over a year before I got my license. However, it was on another continent, a long time ago and I had my brother's license. Showed it to cops successfully 17 times. My brother and I don't look alike enough to determine we are even related :). Insurance? I didn't even pay the tax on the bike, let alone had it registered :)
 
Welcome!!
