Hello all,

I have finally taken the plunge and got my own bike, so I am now a 'biker chick' :headbang:

Went up to Palmy this morning to pick the bike up, as Wellington did not have any black ones :doh: As I havent ridden for a long time the hubby (Kendog) rode it back for me. I think he enjoyed christening my new baby :yes:

Hope to see you all on the road, especially any other learners/cruisers that are happy to cruise along at the back of the pack :scooter:

Thanks, swap?

Thanks for the complement, however, as Mr Thestinkbitch likes yours so much, I would dream of disappointing him :)

I did enjoy the ride back from Palmy, its is a very comfortable and relaxing riding position.
It is going to be a great bike to learn on.

Good to hear of another person taking the plunge into self-actuated bikerhood! Ride it excessively and enjoy every minute!

Interesting to hear of yet another Wellingtonian going to Palmerston North to buy a Suzuki...

Excellent news, endless fun at your fingertips, needless to say I pressume you have already read the manual ?

If I hadnt read the manual for my old Subaru I would neve have known I could flap the door handle to enter a pin code which unlocked the doors, great for each time I lost the keys of locked them in the boot... DOH !

Just out of interest what sort of price range are the GN's new ?

Great news, TSB! :niceone:

The vifferbabe surprised me today. (Again..)
She suggested we go for a ride somewhere this afternoon as it was a nice-ish day, so we did: Riverhead, Muriwai, Helensville, Kaukapakapa, Albany and back home. Afterwards (get ready - the surprise bit's a-comin'...) she said, "That was great, but I got a bit bored one time on the back. Perhaps we should have separate bikes."
(Didja catch that? Two bikes. One each.)

Perhaps it's because the gargre is finally clean(ish) and organised(ish) after a joint effort to achieve this stupendous feat, and we discovered that there was actually room for two (2) cars, and three (3! 3!!) bikes in there. Which there will be, on Wednesday night. But that's another story.

So natcherly, I talked her (the vifferbabe) out of it. "Really?!? We could just get an intercom system - it'd be much cheaper."
"Yeah. I guess. And I did enjoy the ride, it was just at one point, it was so smooth, and nothing much was happening, and I thought :whistle::whistle:....."

Don't just stop at 3 bikes. We managed to fit 1 car, 1 trailer, 5 bikes, and 3 bicycles in our garage once it was clean.

Welcome and may you have many, many happy safe years of riding.

My lady is nagging me to buy her a bike at the moment. So far I've resisted the pressure. With two young kids and no babysitters I like to keep those spare hours solely for myself to enjoy the pleasures of riding. Bugger sharing them!! (selfish? - yep)

I sat my restricted licence test yesterday on my GN,(have I told you lately, that I LOVE my bike??) and passed, piece of piss!!! :done:

Did it out at Porirua at like 7:30 am and the dude who took me, Peter, was just such a kewl guy, it was awesome. :niceone:

Thought I was going to be really nervous, but he just completely put me at ease and just let me basically ride wherever I wanted while he followed in his car. Awesome, so if you're reading this Pete, thanks man, you are a DUDE!! :2thumbsup

Anyhoo, I now have my restricted, got the ugly loser plate off my beautiful baby and now can hoon along at 100kmph, if I want to!! (That is after about another 60 kms, when my bike is apparantly been run in enough to do over 4500 revs!!, haha) :cool:
