Just like a walk in the park...

[Deviant Esq]

... only motorised. :cool:

There was this guy in an older Falcon following me around, staying a respectful distance back, but definitely lurking in my mirrors. When an intersection came up he started indicating really early, and for some odd reason I felt compelled to indicate the same direction and go that way too... :confused:

We pootled around for a while in the morning sunshine, turning this way and that, avoiding gaggles of school kids making their way to school for the day. But it couldn't last and eventually we pulled over and stopped for a chat... :psst:

... and the guy gave me my full licence as a reward. :Punk:

:done:

[hospitalfood]

congrats, really looking forward to having one of those.

[Bullitt]

Congratulations Ryan.
Must have been excited to txt me three times about it:laugh:

[Deviant Esq]

Thanks guys, appreciate it. Sure is a good feeling, been waiting on this one for what seems like forever. Wasn't worried about the test itself - which was good since there was absolutely nothing to worry about, easiest thing I ever did - but the time, seemed to take forever to get here!

shit, musta been an early one! Congrats
Cheers G! Yeah, it was pretty early, had to be there at 7.50 to meet the tester. Happily he was an easy going friendly guy, so I had no trouble with being nervous or anything... hence the "walk in the park". Had to make it early though on account of having to go back to friggin' work afterwards... :mellow:

Me? :D Happy? :D Nah... :D Bit on the glum :D side... :D
See you there. :)

Fookin neow!

You know I want to as well! Err... what am I doing at my computer? *Deviant shaped cloud*

As for what's next? Not too sure at this stage. The plan is to get out there and try to test ride as many as I can, try to get a feel of what suits me best. I mean, having these set ideas in your head is all well and good until you get out there and find it's totally different in the real world. So, I'm trying not to have any preconceived notions.

Having said that, if someone were to donate me a late 90s CBR600F in tidy original condition I'd not be complaining ;)

[u4ea]

Well done and well written :clap:


What he said!!!:2thumbsup:2thumbsup

[BuFfY]

[onearmedbandit]

[Storm]

Congratulations mate

[pzkpfw]

...and yay for the NZ.

Great bike for this stage of your riding (and for some more).

...and yay for the NZ.

It's still a really fun bike, you can really chuck it around, so light and handles so nicely that on the right kind of a road - twisty, hilly goodness - you can leave bigger, faster, sportier bikes behind if you're getting on with it. It's been a really good bike to learn on, and I think it'll put me in good stead for when I upgrade.

It'll be up for sale soon, and will be a shame to see it go really.

[Ghost_Bullet]

Awesome dude, ya gotta be happy... now for the upgrade uh??? :banana:

[Kendog]

Well done :2thumbsup

[sporty 883]

good on ya buddy, its a nice feeling aye.

[Spuds1234]

Nice work Ryan. Now you can go on one of my crazy spur of the moment "OMG its midnight im going for a ride" rides.

If your awake that is.

Love riding under a clear sky at night. Can be cold though.

[0arbreaka]

Congrats mate, go take a 05/06 zx6r out for a ride...
I bet your cant wipe the smile off your face.

[SVboy]

Nice one Ryan...now about that shout!!

[nudemetalz]

Go Redge !!!!!!! Well done, Dude.
I trust the NZ is still going well :)
