[Northern Ninja]

Hi everyone! I'm Dean from Fort McMurray, Alberta. I've been riding pretty much my whole life, starting with dirt bikes. I own an 08 ZX10R, and over the winter I picked up a 2014 Ninja 1000. My wife owns a 2013 Triumph Daytona, and we ride as much as we can.
I recently returned from a 4500km trip through the Kootenays', and the bike performed beautifully! Anyway, that's me, and here are some pics.

Welcome seasoned rider

That's quite a stable. What exhaust is on the ZX-10? vance & hines?

Welcome nice picture of the Kootenays. I love the lakes. We will be up in your area in August, not on the Ninja.

Welcome. We wrote the other day about gearing over at STN. What windscreen is that on your ninja?

Thanks Tony, yes it's a Vance and Hines CS one. Nice deep tone.

Yes, I had never been through the Kootenays before and it was incredible!

I found this bike to be great for touring; I ordered a seat, and I'm doing a gearing change, but other than that, it was perfect!

Hey O F! The windscreen is a Puig. Can't say it's a huge difference over stock. It helps a bit.

Thanks for the welcome guys!
