Little Miss Trouble
21st April 2007, 16:02
I woke up extremeeeely early this morning excited like a little kid at christmas coz today was the day to get my bike :sunny:
Finally at a respectable hour to get up and head over to motomail and pick up my boots, then on back to the North Shore to Spectrum where Grant and the guys decided it would be cruel to make me wait until they closed to deliver her on the back of the ute ( no way in hell I wanted to take on Barrys Point road just yet) so Grant followed me back to my place on my bike while I drove my car **sending mental messages to other road users to farking stay away from my bike**
Dropped him back at the shop and picked up the ugly yellow plate then dashed back to my place and geared up straight away.
Then promptly stalled several times in my driveway!:Oops:
Got on the road and got her up to speed,straights, corners and empty roundabouts are all fun, got to a busy intersection where theres a free left turn pointing down hill if no traffics coming, bloody cars everywhere, stopped stalled and almost dropped the bike:shit:
Got to a carpark and practised my turns and stops, that got boring after a while so took a ride through Albany Industrial area which was reasonably empty lots and lots of fun!!
I only came home coz dark clouds started to drift over and wasnt too keen to make my first ride a wet weather one.
All in all im in love with my bike and can't wait to get out there again tomorrow morning.
P.S I'm sorry if any of you were behind me when I stalled.. a few times at different intersections. lol any tips for not doing that?
