Me! Of course!

I bought Fireliv's Bandit (aka Jessie!) :woohoo:

So just need the Theory under my belt and then I can get her on the road :D (after lots of practice, of course :niceone:)

Sold my little RD50 today :( it was sad seeing her go but glad it's going to a guy whos going to take it on 50cc runs and hopefully restore it to mint(ish) condition.

So you may see me or Romeo out and about on it. I think he is jealous of my purchase :laugh:

My theory? Yep, did it this morning, 100%! :banana: I posted about it in my BHS post.

Alex went for a quick ride on the Bandit today, says he nearly shat himself :lol: guess we got a bit of practice to do with that bike.

Thanks :cool:

Haha yep, he's only used to his CB175 which couldn't even max out at 100kmh. Soooo still gotta get used to the power! Might get my dad to ease the clutch a bit so it starts pulling earlier too :)

Ah, we should start a 'Bandit 250 Learners Club for Girls in CHCH Only!'

Haha, reckon there'd be many members? :bleh:

Go for an 'Any make 250 Club for Girls in ChCh Only' and you might do well. Mrs Oakie is too intimidated to ride amongst bigger bikes now but would probably be comfy in a group of girls on 250s.

Joliet

:rockon:Congrats on your new bike Jo.
See you on some off the rides soon. At least you can do the speed limit now & go to the rallies if you want. Alex will be struggling to keep up with you now;)
Great the Rd has gone to a good home.

Haha, Alex has had more time on my bike than I have! :bash: but I will get on it soon :D

Sounds like a good idea Oakie! Perhaps I should start a new thread .. :scratch:

Otherwise put a new thread up in the Chch Girls group for 250 riders. :)

Perhaps in a more visible place might be good so those shy types who haven't joined the ChCh girls group can see it. A separate 'Biker Angel' thread perhaps?

Thats what I was thinking too, because not everyone is in the CHCH Girls Group.

Sweet!

But if you are reading this and havent joined please do join the Chch girls group- Criteria is female, based in the canterbury region. Is a good way of having women only events without others showing up or putting silly comments in.
(Am pretty sure I invited Mrs Oakie to join to when I started, cant remember of the top of my head if she is a member)

Either way I am sure you will get interest! :hug:
