I've Done It

[shazzygirl]

Well, tomorrow I become the proud owner of a bike. I have bought a 250 Maraunder from a fellow Ulysses member and now to get it back here to my place and practice.
I am very apprehensive about getting on a bike again, as its about 9 years since I last rode and since that time I have health and physical issues that I have been dealing with. Now I am fearful of not being able to get on it and get the knack back. So if you see me puttering around the back roads of Feilding and Palmy sing out and if you see something that you feel I need to have guidance on please let me know.
As I am very slight of weight, and suffer from epilepsy these are my main worries and I would appreciate any pointers from any of those riders with similar problems in dealing with the confidence factors.
Ride safe everyone - and for the moment keep a wide berth of me if you pass - just incase I take a dive to the left or right. :scooter:
:yes: :innocent: :motu:

Good choice for you girl! Don't worry the confidence will come back - the more you ride the better off you'll be.

Hey there shazzy, congrats on the bike. Was looking into one of those for myself a while back. Quite a nice little bike. Enjoy and keep safe out there ;)

[DemonWolf]

Congratulations on the purchase.. just take it slow and easily and it'll come back to you in no time at all. Ensure your own safety and ya be right as rain.

Well done, I looked at one of those before I bought the EL, great little bike. I hadn't ridden for about 16 years (and had only done about 500ks anyway) so I understand your apprehension. Ride with someone you trust, relax and enjoy it, it'll all come back to you.

[Storm]

Just take all the time you need mate, and best of luck getting back in the swing of things :D:D

[OMG]

Good stuff, like everyone is saying, just relax and take your time, it'll all come back to you.

It's hard to go wrong with a Marauder. Even one of 250cc. Enjoy it!

Yea like Whatever
No I didn't get $3000 for my plate, I got that amount for my car instead. So I am just on two wheels and never been happier!:yes:
The plate is still for sale, but for $1000 ono. and that's cause I took the advice from my mate and he felt I had asked too much.

[shazzygirl]

I have so much fun today playing around and puttering around the roads. Having to re-learn a few things and taken the good advice of my mate and began learning the foot brake rules all over again. :yes:
Talk about fun - I'd forgotten what the freedom feeling was.:sunny: :ride:
