Hi All,
My name is Raphael and I live in Maple Ridge, BC, Canada.
I've been riding a 1985 Suzuki 800 Intruder (which is actually a 750cc). I love this bike but she does not like the cold, wet winters, and I need a reliable commuter. As a result, and after much researching, I decided to buy a new 2016 Honda CB500F with ABS. As I write this she's still waiting in the showroom for me to pick her up. I'm chomping at the bit here to go for a ride, but we're still getting over a particularly nasty winter here. Since I purchased the bike in Kelowna, I need to ride her home to Maple Ridge over some mountain passes.
As it turns out, my dad sadly passed away January 18 this year. My mom decided that this bike would be a great reminder of my dad, and has generously bought it for me. I will treasure her (my mom, and the bike) hopefully for many years to come.
Sorry for the long winded intro... I look forward to hearing members' stories, learning about these bikes and getting to know some of you.
Cheers, and happy riding,
Raphael
