And I just picked up a 2009 Johnny Pag FX3.. black (not my pic but it is my video)
Pinkster, welcome to MCM. You've got a couple nice bikes there... they must be a lot of fun!
How did you decide to buy the Johnny Pag? I'm sure we'd all like to hear your impression of it.

Well the customer Service of JPM Canada was over the top.. he was emailing me back answers at 11pm on a week day.. very dedicated guy.. and they stand by their bikes.
I just picked up the FX3 yesterday and haven't taken it for a spin yet but I will let you know when I do.
Awww sweet! Nothing like a bike fresh outta da box! Definitely like to hear your impressions on the ride. I can tell you really love your bikes. Have you been riding long?
Also, thanks for the primo video! Makes summadeze guys around here look like real slackerz!:icon10:

P.S. - If JPM Canada did a good job, don't heisitate to put a positive review in the dealers section. Positive reviews are probably more important than bad ones and every little bit helps when it's a small business. :thumbsup:
Nice Pinkster. Does the bike have two taillights? I see the one above the license but also something below the rack.
Actually I was referring to David at JPM Canada itself, not a dealer. I bought the bike from an ex dealer for a really good deal! =PQuote:

I also plan on shortening the licence plate holder and adding custom angel wing magnet decals to the tank in pink and am changing out the side panels beside the seat to pink ones. =P
Also, any Canadians here on facebook, please add Johnny Pag Motorcycles Canada to your fan pages.
Yo Pinkster, you ever heard of Skinny at Tankgirls? They're based out of South Africa and she's pretty serious about running her own business. She's got a product line with calendars and everything.

Just though you might like to check it out... pretty much everything she does is in pink! Photos of Skinny below...

I know more than a couple guys who ride around with stuffed animals or what-not attached to the back... some consider it good luck and, they say, it reduces hostility in traffic.
YMMV of course. :icon10:

I had a very brief corrspondence with Skinny over a year ago and it sounds like she's serious about doing her own thing. It's not easy to start and organize your own business or make ANYTHING happen in the motorcycle industry.To me, she's doing a fine job of using whatever resources she's got available to make sure more girls ride and learn how to do it properly while representing women in the sport. Also please keep in mind, that even though the girls look Western (as they are mostly of Dutch origin) the South African culture they live in is much more patriarchal than the US or Canada.
I'm sorry to hear people were ribbing you about having a pink bike but I say screw em'... do your thing and do it with gusto! Actions speak for themselves in the long run. :thumbsup:
YMMV usually means "Your Mind May Vary" or "Your Mileage May Vary". It basically means you'll probably have a different take/perspective on the situation.
