Hey guys, I'm Geoff, I'm from Nelson.
I've only been riding for about 3 months, on a Yamaha FZR250, which I've just recently crashed at low speed (something like 30km/h) when I hit a storm drain that I couldn't see in the rain on a roundabout.
Lesson learned there.
My poor first bike was written off, however AMI have basically secured a customer for life when they gave me 4 grand for it (a bike insured for $3500) and let me keep it for $200, the price they could've gotten from the wreckers.
The damage isn't actually that much, but because they wanted to replace everything, it was expensive and was a total write-off. I could spend probably $700 on it and it'll be road legal... However with the extra money I've decided on a beautiful Suzuki GSXR 250R, in absolutely immaculate condition. I'll be riding her considerably more carefully.
Other than that, I'm 19, generally new to bikes, but looking to expand my knowledge and skills. Once I have the gsxr, I'm planning on taking a few courses with the local Pro Rider instructors.
Aaaaand I think that's me introduced!
