Hey guys, I just bought myself a 2005 Honda VTR1000 today :finga:, but I don’t have license yet, so I’m just wondering if anyone knows of a place to get in fast to get my license (Edmonton or Calgary). Thanks guys. ---

ya thats not too safe…i took my course at Nait, its 500 $, 2 day course, and at the end of the 2nd day you take your “road” test in the parking lot on the 8 or 9 obstacles you have practiced on. its pretty easy, not too much in class stuff, its all riding. 😃 they teach you how to ride safe and plus alot of insurance companies want you to have it anyways. ---

Nait or I believe the Alberta Safety Council. …and 1000cc for first bike? Please take it easy! You can kill yourself with a 125 so keep that right wrist in check. Ever since I put my front wheel into the driver’s side door of a certain a-hole that “didn’t see me” I have the “they’re all out to get me” attitude whenever I am on a bike and it has served me very well. Really helps with stain avoidance techniques, i.e., not getting splattered. Just my piece of advice. ---

Yes, good advice from MyGTR. And get frame sliders, because I guarantee you’re gonna drop that thing more than once 🙂 - Mike ---

Yeah that’s where i’m gonna take it at, and the sliders are a good idea, i’m already on that. I can’t wait to ride this baby, but don’t worry boys, you’re worse than my mother. The guys at honda even said that the way this thing is geared it is a really nice bike even if it’s my first bike. I’m 23 not some crazy 16 year old. ---

I started with my brother’s 98 vtr1000. Love the v-twin sound. He had hindle highmounts.
