New Rider - Saying Hi - Blenheim

[Yammie_Noob]

Hi from Blenheim! - I've always been pretty keen on the whole 2 wheel thing,
rode a couple of mate's farm bikes occasionally when I was a teen and my old
man has been riding for the last 30 odd years on and off so it made sense that
I would eventually get into it myself but still a novice 100%.

26 years old, just got my learners in the last couple of weeks and bought a
2015 Yamaha R3 to kick things off - really pleased with the bike so far!
Really working at my own pace right now getting comfortable on the bike and road
so in no rush to get anywhere fast. Looking forward to doing the Bronze course later this year.

Just riding to work at the moment (very short urban ride) which has made everyday far more
enjoyable but looking forward to getting out and enjoying some of NZ's roads on 2 wheels.

I really joined this forum to learn a bit although from my lurking, I've found
there is plenty of advice to be taken with a grain of salt around here.
Always looking to up skill and learn a few tricks to make things safer, easier and more comfortable.

That pretty much sums it up for now... looking forward to getting out there!

Yammie Noob?

2 questions:

1: Are you bald?
2: Have you crashed a Triumph Daytona 675R ?

Heh heh, yeah he does some pretty clever vids.

Anyways, welcome fine sir, welcome to the madness (in the best way possible) that is 2 wheels.

The R3 is in my opinion the best learner bike for the money (I bought a ninja 300 as my learner, but would have gone with the R3 had it been released at the time).

Enjoy the ride, and stay safe :msn-wink:

It was a real toss up between the Ninja 300 and the R3 really.

Definitely think I made the right decision!

Thanks for the welcome :)

I was going to go down this route of questioning too.

Have fun on your R3, and dont ride like the fuckhead you share a handle with, and youll do just fine!

Hey, just over the hill if you want to pop in for a beer or just come for a ride. Always keen to meet somebody like minded.

Well done - You're in one of the best places in the world to ride a bike. I love it there.

Let us know how the 2-wheeled journey is going won't you? :niceone:
