I don't belong here

[iB]

Greetings Katana Riders!

Ok, well... I think I better start this off with a small confession. I don't really ride a Katana. Never have actually, and to be perfectly honest,... I'm not likely ever going to. Nothing against Katanas mind you, I've admired them from a distance for the few years that I've been riding.

With that out of the way, I'll further goad the lynch mob by letting you know up front that I ride a cruiser. It's not even remotely similar to all the sleek, stream-lined sport-touring Katanas that you're used to,.. it's bulky, heavy and hp-deprived.

A couple of fellas I know use to ride Katanas until just recently, and they had suggested that I cruise by and say hello, so here I am. As for an actual introduction... well lets see. When I'm not riding, I'm off saving the rain forest and fighting "The Man". I help to feed the hungry, and cloth the apparell-impaired. Often I can be found feeding small furry animals so as to help them survive the rugged Canadian winter. In my spare time I like to wait by intersections and help feeble elderly women across the street.

Yup, I'm just you're regular non-Katana-riding-Joe. Nice to meet you.

SO you're a hippie ? That's fine , lots of hippies here (no I am NOT a hippie Kieth!) . Lots of non-Kat riders here and a couple of cruiser riders , as well . I don't think anybody minds at all . It's the SQUIDS that we don't like !

You don't ride one of these hulking beasts.... DO YOU!?!?!?!?!?




Awwww man... who let this guy in??

I thought we alreay had our token cruiser rider?

Oh well.


BTW..awesome ride profile

[Range]

OMG..the ride profile is hillarious...especially since it was written by a cruiserboi!

Where in Canada you from...could you at least narrow it down to a particular province hippy?

[iB]

Thanks folks for the warm welcome.

Well, no... not quite. My altruistic tendencies might have been slighly inflated in a poorly delivered sarcasm bout in my first post. I'll keep an eye out for any marine animals with 8 appendages... they could be anywhere.

Though I am kind of curious, how did the jackass demographic of the riding community manage to get called 'squids'?

Thanks Katgirl! Yup, I'm 100% Canuck, and have the income tax forms to prove it. As I understand it, there's a fairly health Canadian contingent on these forums. Very cool indeed. A bunch of people all suffering from cabin fever, hopped up on maple syrup, and anxious to earn every penny of the insurance spent dollars. YEEHAW!

Must have been a pretty good party yesterday if you can't recall how to get here. I'm about a 10-15 minute ride away from you're place. Well,.. 10-15 minutes for a cruiser, probably about 2-3 minutes on a Daytona. :P

Don't go knocking a top quality pair of slippers. Comfortable and functional... if you turn them over and slop 1/2 a beer on the floor they work pretty well as a mop.

I've been using that as an avatar for about 3 years now... you're the first to spot the source.

Oh crap, I think the Ottawa plague is growing again. Welcome anyways, see you in a month or so ( but I won't actually ride with you...it's the cruiser thing , you understand )

A MONTH? What's takin you so long? Getting your hair done before you come up???

[SlytlyDeranged]

Sweet ride man. I am going to catch hell for this, But my most favorite bike I have ever had was a 97 1100 Honda Shadow. I loved that bike and wish I had never sold it. I was thinking of begging the wife into letting me buy a new one this year.

Welcome to KR!!

[Zukiman]

Another Canadian? Just kidding. Welcome iB! Nice bike and funny as heck profile. I could care less what a person rides as long as they have fun. I ride with a group that has all kinds of bikes.

[woobie]

Nice ride, Welcome to Katriders.

[arsenic]

welcome to KR, what bike do you ride?
