Whee! After being out of the game for 5 long grueling months, it's good to be back in the saddle.

Kudos to James Duece for helping me out for this one.

Yes, I realise it's not exactly new, but oh well.

I'm not sure that cat approves!

Lot of bike for the money and a real character of a motorcycle.

Thank you for letting me thrash.... err take it home to check it out. :innocent:

CONGRATS.

I'm aiming to get 900rr as my second bike some day. Good luck with it, and ride safe.

Oh I love the old fireblades. Hopefully they'll be racing in post classics in the next few years.

Well, got my full today, so now can legally ride the thing. Hooray! Double thanks to bungbung for lending me his GL145 for the test. I actually had a bit of fun on it as well, which kinda surprised me.

Took it out for a blat down the Wainui coast, was pretty good. Only downside is after about an hour and a half of riding my back started to cave in a bit. I'm putting it down to not being on motorcycles a bit, really hope its not the ride position.

1. Full license needs its own thread. Go start one.

2. Sit ups. Use your core muscles to hold you up not your arms or shoulders. Keep your tummy muscles tight.

Just don't be a dickhead and test that myth with a gun... Might be costly...

Fun... if it ain't your bike. :argue:

A few MONTHS? Holly molly. How often do you ride? Took me only a few days to complitly mold to the bike. Feels like the back of my girlfriend now.

1 week MAX.

Agree took me a few days to get use to my new bike...then you start setting up the suspension and it rides even better...
