First bike!

[Sofa]

:banana: Have just put in a deposit for my first bike! Haven't picked it up yet, as it is in Fielding, but thanks to Cowboyz for checking it out for me!

Its an FXR150, and I know lots of people are saying I'll grow out of it quickly because of its lack of grunt due to the small engine, but I'm still extra extra excited :banana: and plus I'm a slow learner, so we'll see :baby:

Yay!:wari:

[ManDownUnder]

Awesome awesome awesome!

Welcome aboard... nearly...

[Nagash]

Congratulations on the bike!

Don't under-estimate the the FXR 150, EJ can really zip round on that bike.

I reckon it's definately a good bike and it'll do motorway speeds easy-as.

Welcome to the club :rockon:

[Trudes]

Good stuff Sofa!!!!:clap:

[Ripperjon]

Congrats on your bike.

I've gotta pick my first bike up next week too.

I think we've missed out on summer though!

Hopefully, Autumn will hold out for us!

[LilSel]

Congrats on the new purchase!! Enjoy :niceone:

[Ragingrob]

Looking forward to picking it up... Dunno about the 6 hour drive down and 6 hour ride back lol on an unfamiliar bike with half the power, but still can't wait haha!

[tide]

Ha ha, yay you, Don't listen to poo pooers, they may be right but you'll have heaps of fun in the mean time. It's a good choice for a first bike and it's yours and it's great and I'm all excited now.

My first bike was a 125, 327 years ago but it was brilliant fun, enjoy enjoy. I need some retail therapy now, Iz well jealous.

Have a bit o bling to go with your new bike me lovely. :soon: :soon:

[fireball]

YEEEHAAA the FXR is a good bike and its not slow... (148ks with me on it)
so you going to come play on wednesdays with us?

[McJim]

Congrats and welcome. The FXR is very useable I'm sure you'll have fun....then there's tricks like fittin' a GN Carb.....:devil2:

[Radar]

:cool: Sofa, you will love the FXR150. I've heard good things about its performance (surprisingly good for a 150) and you won't spend much on petrol.

Like Martybabe, I too started with a 125 (also 327 years ago!), but it was a clapped out piece of cr*p and had trouble keeping up with city traffic. However, I learned on it so when I got my 650 all was sweet. See pics on my profile to see how long 327 years ago was. :rolleyes:

[ducatilover]

I know what you mean! I swear the rain started just as I started to get extra excited :pinch:

And thanks everyone for your encouraging words :) I'm sooooo excited! Going to be a long weekend though! haha.

Ducatilover, where do you live?

And everyone else, can I trust him to ride my bike nicely? :laugh::bleh:I am female and it is my baby after all... :banana:

Oh, and fireball, I might consider Wednesday nights :) I have tennis that night as well so might alternate

[daaatomic]

nice choice, my first bike was an fxr.
dont worry about the speed, its all comparitive, its probably still faster off the line than any car you've driven.
have fun and ride safe.

[2beta_than4]

Good stuff!! I I started out on the 150 not long ago, nice easy bike to ride with all the power you need, for now :msn-wink:

Have fun aye

[n0regret5]

don't listen to anyone who says you'll get tired of the engine - i owned mine for nigh on 3 years and still rode it after i bought my vfr400!! great, fun zippy bikes with more than enough stonk to keep you on your toes.

[TheRich]

Congrats on the bike.
I am also hoping to get an FXR150 as soon as I get the money an can find one for sale in Chch.

[gummibear]

Nice choice! I'm getting my fxr in 15 days now, counting it down:woohoo:

[discotex]

[Sofa]

Yay! Picked up my bike on the weekend and she's sooo pretty (and purrs like a tiger) :)

I haven't ridden it much yet, because I'm not too confident in Auckland traffic quite yet, but Ragingrob has and he really likes it, apart from the mirrors and seat position...

So I'm getting pretty excited, and hopefully by next week I'll be riding it to uni! :cool:

Thanks to Cowboyz for checking it out for me and just generally hellping me find my first bike! :2thumbsup

So see you guys out there!!! :wari:

She's blue by the way, so you'll be able to distinguish her from the other mostly green ones. :msn-wink:

[BiK3RChiK]

Woohoo! First bike is soooo exciting!! You go girl!
