New Canadian Rider - Greetings! (Videos?)

Hey Guys,
Been watching the site for a little while, and now I've joined. Lots of great info here! I'm kind of interested in hearing from other 250 riders in Ontario, Canada. My baby is in the shop getting tuned up right now... a nice Japanese import.
Also, would anyone be interested in possibly starting a video community for FZR 250's? Perhaps something on Youtube (blah, I know, I know) or Live Video? Let me know if this is already going on. Take 'er easy, lates!

p.s. Found this URL on here, great for historical reference:

Thanks Casso. With regards to a 'video site', I will try to make an FZR 250 section on my recording studio website. This is after I have a chance to sit down with my webmaster for finaliztion of webdesign. Will take some time...

In the meanwhile, we should pollute the 'inter-tubes' with as much video of our rad bikes as possible! See ya,

Hey metralla,
Good to hear from you. I'm noticing we are few and far between on this side of the pond. <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_sad.gif" alt="" title="Sad" /><!-- s --> On the other hand, our bikes get all the props! <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_cool.gif" alt="" title="Cool" /><!-- s --> Actually, I just came home from the shop and it was sad to see the front end in pieces. <!-- s:-? --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_Eyecrazy.gif" alt=":-?" title="Eye Crazy" /><!-- s:-? --> As you said as well, I'm in the process of getting it tuned it up... has to be done. Mine is a 2KR from '89, and its the 'silky white' paint scheme, hence, my handle '3HX1'. Dave has a great website with lots of info. Also, I read that 'macka' lives in Ontario, so good luck finding FZR's in Michigan! I will try to post some pics in this thread, and/or somewhere else. Take care,

Great, all I need is the cops thinking its a 600... guess that is what defensive driving is for.

Also, feels like I'm the only one not doing the work on his own bike!

I might have to disagree with you slightly on the stress level, M66, hehe.

Not being able to contribute to the job at hand creates it's own level of anxiety, especially since I am accustomed to getting things done on my own.

I must say though, you are a busy man! <!-- s:notworthy: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/th_Not_worthy.gif" alt=":notworthy:" title="not worthy" /><!-- s:notworthy: -->

 

*UPDATE*

First season of riding has come to a successful end. Friday, Nov 30, was my last ride around town. Temperature was below 0 degrees C, but nice. Rode the bike to the shop for heated storage as well. Here are some highlights from this year:

Bike
- new NOS forks, new NOS clutch, talking Japanese girl in my alarm system (bonus)

Me
- put 5000 km's on the road, no scratches bumps, or bruises
- top speed acheived 180 km/h on Nov. 4th
- illegal lane change violation issued - 3 demerit points

Next Season
- new tires & track time

Thanks for reading! Ride safe and crank it. <!-- s:Biker1: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/th_Biker_1.gif" alt=":Biker1:" title="biker_1" /><!-- s:Biker1: -->
