Hello there, My name is Jesse. I've been a member for a while but I really haven't been involved since I didn't have a cruiser
I picked up this fine cruiser on the 26th and I'm loving it. I searched for a few years to find one that I was willing to drop cash on, and this one fit the bill.
I found this one in my local area though Kijiji and after seeing one picture I was in love, so I planned to go out the very next weekend to see it.
I pulled up to it and was already in shock at how good it looked (they don't come very clean here in Alberta due to rough winters and salty roads), I took a quick look at it and in most of the common areas where issues are found and it was a dream come true. The owner handed me the keys and we went on a test drive, which made me a bit nervous as it was the first time I'd ever drove a standard. It went really well actually, though I stalled it right out of the gate by forgetting to take the parking brake off anyway after that drive I knew I had to have it.
By the next weekend I had worked out a deal with the guy and I left right after work to drive for an hour to get it. I met the guy at the registry office and got it with 5 minutes to close haha. So that's the story of how I got "Goomba".
The name came to me while I was sitting on the bumper watching the sunset. I was wearing a super mario bros 3 shirt and I noticed that the colours of a goomba are kinda similar, no secret meaning really.
I've already taken it on a 1.4KM camping trip and it ran like a champ (well it's a 3B duh).
I added myself to the registry already, but I thought some extra pics would be fun to share. And I'd be interested to maybe get connected with other owners in the central Alberta area.
I won't waste time asking about things I should know as a new owner because I'm sure I can find lots of threads about that on here (but feel free to comment something if you want). I've already been told to keep all the filters clean, and to change the oil regularly.
I'll get right to the pics.
