Whats up fellas? I just put my down payment today on my new 750. I am totally pumped, but Im gunna wait until all the salt and snow clears up here in Toronto before I pick up the bike. I ride some offroad bikes and every year I have those out pretty early, even with snow and ice on the ground lol. I guess with a street bike I gotta wait a little longer. When do you guys bring out your bikes?

How are things in T.O.?? I was there in January and it was COLD. I'm in Thunder Bay myself and I hoped to get my bike out by May. But as luck would have it we just got pounded by at least 15 cms of the white stuff. Up until 2 days ago we barely had any. Warm weather is predicted so hopefully this shit will melt and I'll get an early start this season.:thumbup:

I wait until we've had a couple of good rains. Most of the time it's around the 2nd or 3rd week of April for consistent good weather....can barely wait :cool:

The weather this year is rediculous. Its just teasing us I think. Next week they are calling for -13, but then going up to +6. lol Man, I wish the snow would just go away :(

Well I'm not a fella.. but I wait for end of March to mid April.. when the rain stops for a day or two a week.. depends on the year.
