Another noob (Going Postal)

[Going Postal]

Hey guys, been here a while so I thought it was time to say hi.

The story goes like this.
Have wanted a bike/my bike license for ages now, then I stumbled across the kiwi-biker forums, then i REALLY wanted a bike/my bike license. So after all these years of procrastination I finally:

-Passed my basic handling yesterday.
-Played scratch and win and got my learners today.
-Bought a 2009 Kawasaki Ninja250r Today.
-Gets delivered tomorrow.

Can't wait!

:2thumbsupwelcome,and great to see another procrstinator (like myself) getting things going.
can't say i've ridden a new ninja 250,but from all the modern 250's you can choose from today,i don't think you'll be the slightest bit dissapointed in it :)

Be prepared to wipe plenty of shit off your leathers (lots is flung round here)
But also good advice and loads of fun.

Hey guys, thanks for the welcome.
I got the blue ninja if you're interested, thought it looked the best out of the lot. Just finished work, so its off to bed now, and when I wake up it'll be here! So excited, like a little kid before christmas haha

Welcome to KB.

Have fun. Find a mentor (little green ME beside each mentor's name) in your area.

Mmm, new Ninja. Did you buy the cute little Yoshi as well?

[Going Postal]

Nah, didn't get the Yoshi, the bike completely blew my budget as it is. Speaking of my bike, it turned up this morning and I had the opportunity to take it for a quick ride. The manual tells me I have to keep it under 4000rpm for the first 800km, but even while doing so I had a blast. It's a good thing I was wearing a full face helmet too, so the passing motorists couldn't see the shit-eating grin that was plastered all over my face!
