I have finally got around to buying a motorbike all thought not the fastest bike ever, excellent condition and I like it. Its a humble 2000 GN 125. Easy to ride too. When I went to pick it up I learn't how to ride very quickly because I had to ride it across town back home... I stalled only Once, so went back the long way to avoid traffic and cops, Getting license this weekend. Have the hang of it now and love it. Can't wait to get my license and go for a proper long ride!!!.

have a great time on the new wheels, but never assume you have the hang of it! ive been riding 15 years (im only 19) and am still learning new things. Good luck and keep the shiny side up.

You sound like you have some good biker sense there, this is a good place to develop it...and you havn't even got your license!

Oh, and don't be concerned that you havn't got a fast bike, one step at a time bud. :msn-wink:

yeah welcome, have a cookie - man i feel like a post whore here. Do get your licence asap though. Get legal then you wont have that side to worry about.

Zed - is that you doing a whelie, if so, you look like ur hugging the thing - kinda like a cat up a tree? lol

Welcome mate and here is some valuable advice for you. Riding a GN125 does not mean you are a harley gang member. :lol:

You forget, Im new to this, so thats how I look when i ride normally - hugging the bike that is! :cold:

You forget, Im new to this, so thats how I look when i ride normally - hugging the bike that is! :cold:I see. Well if you ever get around to learning how to wheelie you'll find that you need to stay quite close to the machine as it comes up or else you won't be able to see where you're going! An alternative is to do standup wheelies, of which I've never attempted :Punk:

[mstriumph]

*sigh - wish i could wheelie :love: *

[madboy]

*sigh - wish i could wheelie :love: *Join the club... I'm replacing fork seals, and I haven't even started trying to wheelie yet!!
