Hello everyone.

This is my first visit to this forum, I was kindly introduced by a customer who I happened to service while at work today. Thankyou sels1

I little about myself and my bike...

I have owned two bikes, my first being a 2005 GN250 which I purchased new. I was over the GN is one week and wanted something more so I looked around and eventually bought a FZR-R 250. I love it. It handles alot better although it still has the better of me. I'm not overly confident which is why I was so happy to be introduced to this site where I'm sure I can meet more experienced riders.

I believe motorcycles is all about cornering, its the one thing I want to master!

Thanks again, I hope i get to know lots of you.

Howdy y'all and welcome. I'd be interested to know what outfit you're at. I was out the Hutt today at the Hoonda shop 'Motomart' and although I'm not in a position to buy as yet the salesman there was really helpful - even let me burn my ass on on of the bike seats outside!

I work at Harvey Norman. I was talking to a guy about laptops and I noticed he was holding a helmet. I couldn't help myself! Suddenly the conversation switched from computers to motorbikes :laugh:

I'm glad the manager wasn't around to see it.

No no no, you got the wrong idea mate. Should your boss question what you're doing, you're simply offering mobile business solutions... You have to think outside the square :) Err, if the boss questions you further, tell him/her you're discussing which PDA fits bet on a bike

Wrong, wrong, wrong.

It's got nothing to do with corners and everything to do with wheelies.

Welcome knee_scraper. Easy does it. Try not to be pressured into going quicker
than you are confident with. It takes time, you'll get the hang of it.

Welcome knee_scraper. Easy does it. Try not to be pressured into going quicker
than you are confident with. It takes time, you'll get the hang of it. There's a thing called countersteering- no not the sales counter !!!- which will aid your cornering.
