@Jugghead: Indeed the colour is sweet. The tank isn't looking so hot though unfortunately. It has a few gas stains and such. Nothing too major, but enough to drive me crazy every time I see them. What can I expect for a 34 year old bike though? Not sure what I'm going to do about it at this time because I really like knowing that at least it's the original paint on there.
@keiths: Yeah, I can drive on a 'permit'. We have graduted licensing here in Ontario.
M1 is a written test. Upon passing you can ride during the day, 0 alcohol tolerance, no passengers, no major highways. Within 60 days you have to get your M2.
M2 is a road test. Removes some restrictions of M1. Upon completion you must wait 22 months before you can get your full M license. IF you take a certified motorcycle course, at the end of which you receive your M2, then you must wait 'only' 18 months before you can get your full license.
M license. The real deal. Champagne.. etc.
A bit of a pain. However it's for the better I'm sure. Just happy I was young enough that I didn't have to go through it when I got my car license waaaaaay back.
