My first bike. So proud!

**danielle** · 12th May 2009, 18:23

HEY there, Just thought ild introduce myself

Just got my first bike, FXR150. I dont have my license yet but should have it by next weekend. Ive had two rides on it, one in the backyard in the country in the whops, and the other in a empty car park. Ive nearly got all my gear (still depressed i cant ride the dang thing).

Did i mention i love the bike?! i love that its only a 150cc, but looks gutsy and goes faster than my boyfriends old gn(i dont know that for sure, but i presume it does=)).

Ive also had all the shit from family, friends etc saying "should i say goodbye now" or "your f**king stupid", but its my life and its something i have to do for myself. Although i understand the risks, im not assuming im immune to crashing either.

So just thought ild tell you my story and introduce myself

=)

Good call.

Have fun and wear lots of tight leather...........

Good for a start, then you want bigger and faster, by then you are sorta capable, then you have a bad ride day, you need to recognise this, stop, pull yourself together, and carry on.

Enjoy the riding, the company, and the parties, keep your rubber on the road.

Don't drink and ride.............................................. ................................

Welcome to KB and motorcycle riding.

...Its awsum fun just treat everybody else on the road as an idiot.

..When following cars look for eye contact in their revision mirror and watch out for cars on side roads...They use the excuse "i didnt see the bike" all the time.

..HAVE FUN
