It was about 1989 or 90 when a
friend and I were riding past the Yamaha dealership,
I believe I had my Seca 650 at the time. It was
parked out front with a small crowd around it, a red
1988 Supermagna, Canadian 750cc. I took it for a
short ride down the street and had to hold the
handlebars to the right to get the bike to go
straight. The motor was in very poor shape to say
the least, it barely ran. When I found out it was a
Magna I didn't really believe him until I saw it on
the bike. The bike had been dropped and it flipped a
couple times. They were asking 4000.00 for it in
that shape, I couldn't believe it! The bike was
never to be seen again after that, nor have I seen
one since last year.
With the birth of my 1st I wanted to grab on to
what little single hood I had left and decided to
look into purchasing a bike. On the internet I went
and started looking for the last bike I would buy! I
looked everywhere for a bike, papers, buy and sell,
nothing. It was on the net that I came across the
Super once again. There was one for sale down south,
I e-mailed the guy and he sent me the pics of it. I
couldn't believe that after all these years that
this bike would pop up again, I had to have one.
After about a month of trying to find one a the
right price I came to find ( or should I say he
found me) Chris B. We e-mailed and talked on the
phone for months, and after a horrific journey to go
and get the bike ( a whole other story ) my 1st
Super was in my driveway last October. When my wife
saw the bike, I'm not to sure what she was thinking,
the bike needing allot of T.L.C. but with hard work
and a few well spent dollars it looks and rides
fantastic. We have had some wonderful rides on it so
far and there are more to come. Thank you all @ the
Super Info site, without you guys this might not
have happened, Ride safe!! |
