  I am proud to introduce a new member to the family. I bought her over the weekend and should be heading out to Ottawa (approx 4 hrs from TO) to get her when the good weather allows me to. I am very excited to have found this great bike.....work done includes  professionally ported head, 1314cc big bore kit, back-cut and treated transmission gears, air shifter, clutch upgrades, MSD ignition, Kehin 37 smooth bores, + 5" braced swing arm and much much more!!. I have yet to cristen her with a new name... but when I do, I shall make the formal intorduction.

Is that a nitros bottle on Snowy's rear end or hold something to keep the rider warm in the cold Canadian winters?    :biggrin:   Dave

Compressed air for the air shifter.

Kev, you going to keep the Supertrapp system on this bike, or did you want to go with slip ons?

Thanks brother.....it has been a bit of reflection....life and such....when you lose someone close whom you love very much....but alas....life goes on and so must I......so in the spirit of your kind image of me.....I thought I would throw this one out......very appropriate for this moment..... :drinks:

Great name Mark....fantastic........in fact incredibly clever......I am more than impressed........and I am betting that The General may be the only other one to have caught it.......I am even wondering if you did by accident......or by design....... "Canuck" is another word for Canadian.....so you really have me scratching my head  :scratch_one-s_head:. The only.....and I mean only downer for this epic name......is the fact that CanD has her own vanity plate......and the new girl might get a bit jealous....you know how some girls get...... :rofl:
