Hi Solarpulse,

My wife and I are in Dartmouth, NS. She just bought a 2005 GS500F just like you. And I do mean "just" bought it...this morning in fact. She is so new to riding she hasn't done it yet. She will take the MSF in the Spring and then we are good to go...slowly at first. She would  probably love to hear from another woman who has the bike.

Working for a couple of years in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. May the jokes commence......now! 

Tim Hortons over Dunkin Donuts any day. Believe it!

cool...... where she get it at??  i do love my bike.....  and the MSF is a good palce to start...i had my biek for a week before the course... i dunno how you/her can handle have a biek in your possession for so logn and not be able to ride it!!!!! you can IM me if you wish

Tim Hortons is amazing......I rode to Montreal for Tim Hortons one time...

Been here in Midland Michigan so long, I'm almost an American.  But I still can't get away without sounding Canadian, Eh?

A Tim Horton's opened up in-town, so I'm only five minutes away from one.  It's a snowball's throw away from a Dunkin' Donuts shop -- talk about competition.  Heard that there's some 250 Tim's in the U.S., and over 24,000 in Canada.  Wendy's is considering spinning it off -- sounds like a great way to buy Canadian. 

Solarpulse,

We bought it at Procycle. I bought my bike (FJR 1300) from Freedom Cycle in Halifax. In both cases the bikes I wanted were only available at the dealer I bought them from. We haven't picked up the GS as we need to find a place to put it. I have a shed that I put my bike in and I use to work on it. With my bike in there, a motorcycle lift, and my tools there really isn't room for the GS. Likely put it in my sister's garage but that will mean cleaning it out first.

My wife is both nervous and excited. I remember what it was like to take the MSF course and be so excited. I bought my first bike before taking the course too. A Kawasaki KZ 750. I still remember the feeling of riding that for the first time after the much smaller bikes in the course.

A few NS people on here. I'm just south of u in Yarmouth.

A big howdy from Calgary, although originally from Ontario, I don't think anyone is actually from Calgary.
Cheers

It is a great place. I rode the Nelson circuit. I would really like to get up to that Mt. Tre (french something) lant . That place looks great! I went to Tim Hortons in a town near where I stayed at. Can't remember the name....maybe 15 miles...oops...18 kms west of the track.....Belleville maybe?

I live on the east side of the GTA. I have 2005 GS500F now

Tim's are slow to penetrate into the US -- Pharmacies have already taken all the good spots.  I mean it -- here in Michigan, Rite-Aid, Wallgreens, and other drug stores are as plentiful as donut shops back in Canada.  Strange how cultures are close but not quite the same, eh?
