Hello all, My name is Tommy I live in Beautiful Langley British Columbia Canada! My girlfriend and I just took our Riding Course together and we bought her an 04 599 with only 3300 kms on it. I loved it so much riding it home that i want one as well. I found one that same day and tomorrow i am picking up my 06 599 after work. I work at a custom car shop and pretty much have built a huge variety of cars from 900hp mk4 supras to high horsepower honda cars. I love my job as a fabricator at my shop called Killer Customs (www.killercustoms.ca), We were on the show pinks, being the only Canadians on the show we did win the car and a kind of local celebrities here in bc. Anyways i am happy i found this forum and look forward to learning and helping out in anyway i can. So i say hi and thanks in advance for the information that has been posted thus far.

I've only seen three Japanese cars on Pinks... two Datsuns and a red Civic. Either one of those you guys?

It borders breaking man law, but it's pretty cool that you're riding the same bike. Think you'll be fabbing anything up for it?

Is the GF's yellow or asphalt? Seems like this could affect the man-law analysis. Come to think of it, she should probably jump into the forum too!

Anyway, welcome, and don't let these guys talk you into making crazy custom parts for them unless you really want to (and we all hope you do!).

Welcome Turbo. Nice to have you aboard.

Welcome Tommy and GF!!

Thanks guys, its great to be on here, but today i was supposed to pick up my bike. I had an agreement with the guy and he called me in the morning and told me he sold it without even giving me a chance to offer more or even keeping his word. Oh well guess gotta look else where and it looks bleek right now.


My girls bike is Asphalt and pretty much brand new. I will try to get her on here she is not much of a computer type.

We had a Red 69 Camaro 454 na that we raced against a 80 malibu Small Block Turbo. The car was built at Horsepower Connection in Olympia Wa. You tube it it was a good episode.

As for fabrication i do intend on making a few things but i want to ride it for a while to get used to the bike and confident in my abilities. I am sure you will see some crazy exhaust and possibly a turbo? Haha nah my car gets a turbo it has a roll cage and i am safer going fast in that.


I will post pics when i get my bike if i get one.........

Well that's screwed up! :? I hope you find another one soon!

:welcome to the forum - you and your girl be careful on your new toy. :thumbsup

*cough*startmaking599parts*cough*

Welcome!

Tommy. I was looking at one in your area too. There's a guy in Burnaby that has a 06 with 4000 on it. He want's $6500. The problem is he owes on it. I might be the guy he's selling or WAS selling it to. He's a good guy but I'd rather buy a bike free and clear. He's willing to work on making the deal happen. His bike's in great shape. If you have his contact info give him a call.

Yeah lets see some pics.....of your girlfriend :D

Welcome

Well this weekend i picked mine up and now its raining:( I will post pics soon for you guys and yeah hopefully i can start makin stuff haha cant have a stock bike lol............



Hey Trevor.... Thanks for the call man that was cool of you for sure. But i had a great time going to Wiliams lake to get mine this weekend!!! So i guess we could hook up for a nice ride some day if the weather ever actually becomes nice.....

You built a car with 900hp?!

A few yes!!!! I love my job i get to spend everyone elses money haha!!!! The Cars i work on now are much like what Chip Foose does and the guys who own them have nothing but money and are happy even if some stuff doesnt fit cause it still fits better than it would have from the factory. I will post some pics of some cars but first i will post them of my bike and my girls bike!!!!!!

No problem Tommy it was my pleasure. I actually had to ride home in this shit today. Raining sideways and getting in every where. NO THANKS, RAIN RAIN GO AWAY!

I just checked out your pictures, very cool. My bike has the same tank guard (which I really want to remove) and the guy also hacked off the bottom of my rear fender thing under the plate holder.

Here's a couple of shots of mine:

A two-Hornet household?
That's the coolest thing I have ever seen. :thumbsup :thumbsup

Happy you found a bike so soon, those pics are awesome!

Thanks Guys look forward to start riding, Hopefully the Rain goes away and we get something called summer here in Beautiful British Columbia Rain capital of the world...........

Whoa! :shock:

Welcome dude... and uh, dudette, in case your woman is viewing this as well!

Yeah, no double teaming... you two need two logins...

And we want some "gofast" pics... :wink:

:welcome

K so Just spent some money on our bikes today and wow they look awsome now!!!! We bought some Pazzo Levers from the guy direct cause he is a local guy here in Langley British Columbia. We got a great deal on them and i had to install them as soon as i got home today. I also will be recieving my CRG bar end mirrors on monday and can hardly wait. The only other thing i want right now is a complete exhaust. I was thinking of a Hindle but also am thinking about making my own. I wish i had more time in a day to actually build one but i will probably just buy one cause i dont need to spend alot of time making it. Never any time hahahaha!!!! Heres some pics they look just like everyone elses but hey just adding to the coolness of the levers..........

Looking good Tommy. I may have a buyer for my Shadow, I have it priced at $5500 and when it sells my wife and I are buying another Hornet.

Nice i love haveing two of the same bikes they have to be one of the coolest bikes around. Oh yeah I forgot too that i have a couple of sets of HID s coming for our bikes aswell and the Givi crash bars. I really want to have as much light as possible and try to not damage any of the motor if they ever do lay down.... Good luck on selling your Shadow. Does your wife have her license aswell?

She doesn't. She has been training and is taking the course next month. She loves the Hornet and it was her idea to get rid of the shadow and buy another Hornet.
Here's the craigslist ad if you want to spread it around. I don't know if that's against forums rules but here it is anyway.

Nice looking Shadow! If I were not on the other side of Canada I'd be interested. I've been thinking of a Shadow for those days I feel like something different!

so have you guys raced yet? :)

i'm also curious, since you have both of them, which you prefer to drive or if you you can't tell the difference.

i know this has been brought up before but i'm curious of your opinion since you actually own them both.

Welcome! TWO 599s, very nice!

No Racing yet haha!!! one day maybe but for now i am mostly making sure my girl feels comfortable on hers and feels cofortable riding in traffic and any other sort situations. Finally today was nice and we took a nice ride through our beautiful mountains and crazy windy roads to a 2000 car car show in Mission BC. Cant wait for more of these days!!!!!

That is awesome! Congrats on finding another one so soon! :thumbsup

SO i got my CRG bar end mirrors today and thank god i have a laithe at work cause i didnt want to pull my handles in more to fit the bar ends on. So i just took the end weights and turned them down and wow they look cool and the vision they provide far surpasses the stockers!!! I will post pics later dont have my cable here for my phone....... Next is a Can of some sort!!!!!!!!!

Heres the Mirrors and man they work well the only thing is you have to look down a little more to see them but you can see all around you pretty much.......
