Hey everyone.

My name is Allan and by this Saturday I will be the proud owner of a red M50. I'm from New Brunswick Canada. I will be trading in my CBR600RR for the new toy. If any fellow M50 owners have any information about the bike or accessories please feel free to let me know. I have been looking around and have found some good stuff already.

Thanks

Pinhy · 04-11-2005, 02:52 PM

welcome M50 rider! pretty soon we are going to need an "M50 Getaway" section!

i love mine so far and have done 2250 miles in 6 weeks. i dont have any problems with mine, it handles well and looks great. good throttle response, smooth shifting.

Wow, why the bizarre bike swap?

Welcome.

Gixxerdale · 04-11-2005, 04:46 PM

Welcome Islander! Like Rowdy said, that is a dramatic swap in rides. What's up?

LayinLo · 04-11-2005, 04:47 PM

welcome

stevie c · 04-11-2005, 04:52 PM

And repeating what was said above, why the bike swop?

WELCOME.

You are really close to Trappercase and I, about 20 mins or less away from you. You may come to realize that is a good or bad thing

I met Trapper on here and have gone for a ride with him around Shediac and outskirts of Moncton. Are you getting your bike from Hi-tech Power Sports, if so I saw the red one on the showroom floor on Friday, talk to Ian.

My name is Brad and Trapper's is Kevin. I am looking forward to riding with you soon.

We have three New Brunswickers here now = Bike club, NB chapter.

**Trapper** · 04-11-2005, 06:09 PM

Hey Islander. See you soon.

For the bike swop. I had a small cruiser for a first bike 1984 GS450L but always wanted a sportbike. Got away from riding for a few years but still wanted sport so bought the 03 CBR. I really liked the bike, rode it for a couple years and loved every minute. Did a couple track days and even though I knew it to start with realized this bike is wasted on the street. I did a lot of thinking over the winter about this riding season, and decided that if I found something I liked I would trade but if I did not no big deal. I don't ride all that hard on the street anyway. Looked at the M50 and made the switch. I just hope the next owner on the CBR will have as much SAFE fun on it as I had.

Hey Trapper and Hunter we will have to get out for sure. My wife rides a CB600F so we will have the go for a few rips.

The bike was the red one at High Tec, I did the deal with Claude and was able to come up with a fair price. I should have went to Ian because he had to check eveything with him anyway.

Looking forward to riding around with you and your wife. Toys For Big Boys has weekly rides and the Yamaha dealer in Dieppe also has weekend rides. I plain on riding the Cabot Trail this summer. I will be leaving on a Friday night going to PEI spend the night, go to Nova Scotia on the ferry the next morning, then on to the Cabot Trail, and spend the night along the way, the next morning head back home. It is a nice ride, around 700km return.

Take my time and get lots of pics, stay at some shacks or hotels with a bar. Good food and good people, should be a good trip. I have done it before with a new sports car I had and loved riding the Cabot Trail because of all the High cliffs and twisty roads and the Ocean by your side the whole way. When I went the last time my wife and I saw whales when we stopped for breaks along the way. That would have been about 9 years ago.

I lived in PEI when I was 15 "More then a few years ago" Lived in Monique. Best trout fishing I have even done in my life. And the Island girls love the Mainlanders, hahaha.

Islander · 04-12-2005, 08:26 AM

We went around the trail on bikes last summer. Took 3 days 1 down 1 around 1 home. 1500 km round trip, stayed off the highway about 90% on the trip. Took a ton of pictures, best ride of the summer.
