Today was the first day ive had with my new (old) Honda spada. i started out on a straight stretch of foad to get used to the gears, handling etc. Then i went ito greymouth from where i live at kumara junction. i am finding at the moment that 100kph feels quicker than in a car but that will probably change as i get more experience. From Grey i went out through bodytown (for those who know the area) and round the rangi reserve and out at Paroa. Its about a 1/2 round trip. Lots of sharp corners so i had to keep my wits about me but it was fun. lol Dad brought it over from christchurch and ran out of fuel (still had reserve) at aitkens, so i had to jump in the car with some fuel fuel to put in it. im loving the acceleration and the engine braking is also very good, on the contrary i havent used the brakes much so ill have to make sure i get some practice in. So far so good!
