Hi all,just a little update to say ive got a new bike:woohoo:
i was previously having lessons on a gsx250 accross but she was
a bit too tall for me,then this bargain deal on a cute little suzuki
rgv150 cropped up and now its all mine:scooter: yeahhhh!!! lolz
So far its working out fabulously too,i first rode her (ive named her Mandi)
in a quiet industrial area and was relieved to find her so user friendly,
ie; i could touch the ground easily,wheel her about and start her (kick!)
all by myself:clap: hehe
since that first ride ive also taken her along a local country road
and around the block in town a few times.
yesterday was a highlight as we took her to a local carpark and did a few
excercises such as, riding through cones, emergency braking, figure 8's
etc etc
next step for me now is to sit my BHS cant wait!! ill book it this week
watch this space lol

Mandi is a great name for a bike. :)
I'm still dreaming up names for my first born when I have the money for her in a few months. :love:

My first ride was a Honda XR100 off road bike that really sent me off the road and into an electric fence (we were learning on my grandad's farm). Thankfully, the fence was on. :gob:

True - I saw the 60 minutes item on her/him. I think he had to have a ceaser though cos he had had a faux penis made and there is no way you'd get a bubs out that wee pee hole eh! Infact just thinking of that has ME crossing my legs in sympathy :laugh:
