The struggle within...

[h_tron]

I pretty much own a brand new 09 r6 which is awsome, but im still on my restricted. i have just under 50 days till i sit my full and its just tourture seeing her sitting in the garage. i know it wants me to ride it! but if i crash im not insured (only untill i have my full) so what do you do!:gob:

[discotex]

There's the KB way e.g.

Ride it, crash it, then come back and whinge about how you binned it.



Or you could just HTFU and wait.

[centercore]

Trailer it to a track day.

Nice bike man, put up some photos. I was thinking about getting one once I get my full, but theres too many good sports bikes I could buy instead for less money.

Yep, wot he said. Be patient grasshopper. And it's not just the shiny 09 R6 that's not insured when you bin it, it's the $100K Mercedes that you hit :bye:

[sparky.scott]

But theres no insurance on a race track either, just in case it gets binned

[h_tron]

haha ok ill be paitent! i know it will be worth it

[Ragingrob]

What happened to your 250 lol?

[h_tron]

i put it on trademe for a price i thought was too much, but it went so i got an upgrade. i did my defensive driving course with the owner of henderson yamaha, he convinced me, even though it wasnt hard, to get the r6!

[Mumbles]

I take it your haven't thought about riding it inside the house then?
You know you want to :yes:

50 days isnt that long.... :wari: who we kidding your :shutup: :shit:
Maybe you should start a group?



Nice bike - Its a bit like having a super model wife that your just not allowed to touch (thats another group all together)

[discotex]

You could make friends with an anesthetist and get them to put you in a medically induced coma for a week at a time. Best to have a week awake in between so you don't atrophy your muscles.

[gatch]

get a perrrrm !

I mean to say, just ride it, save your wheely practise and ghost rider stunts until your license is green..

[davebullet]

I rode my 2nd hand SV for about 2 months before I got my full. I was more worried about not being covered by my life and disability insurance. Less concerned about a $7,000 bike which has a $1,000 excess anyway on the policy - so only $6,000 out of pocket if I wrote it off. More likely I'd write myself off in the process.

If you can afford to replace the bike in cash - ride it. If like most people you can't - don't until you are fully insured.

Spend the time to plan upgrades, mods and research how to get the most out of it. Will make the time fly quicker.

But but but that would make a mockery of the joke...
Why did the biker run over the woman?
Who cares...what was she doing outta the kitchen...:yes:

[jtzzr]

Your`e new here and I don`t do this for everyone , but out of the kindness of my heart, I will go out of my way , and ride your bike for you, I know what you`re thinking, There`s no need for THANKS , let me know your address.

50 days of riding a new bike , probabaly would`nt clock up more than 2kms a day.

[h_tron]

hey thanks man, i really appreciate it! its funny that ive had a few simlar offers...:blink:

[p.dath]

Several insurance companies do offer cover for track days. I think Protecta does the most advertising, and their policy does.

[p.dath]

You can't ride it on the road ... but that doesn't mean you can't ride it. Find somewhere off road.

[h_tron]

yeah driveway has been there for me a bit lately, but the road at the end of it always calls my name....lol

[Cr1MiNaL]

Mean bike mate, spot on the colour choice too. My advice is ride it. You should'nt crash but if you do, store it in your garage till you get your lisence and then a month later claim on it. Hard case but yea.

[Creeping Death]

Hard case if he ends up in hospital and the coppers got involved...wait out the 7 weeks mate,it will be better than riding round checking for :Police: in ya mirrors every 3 seconds.
Oh,and thats a beaut ride and even nicer garage!:niceone:

[LBD]

haha ok ill be paitent! i know it will be worth it

Hah...my daughter will be on her new SV650K9 just 8 days before you.....

Nice looking bike but!

[vifferman]

haha ok ill be paitent! i know it will be worth it
Who's that tool you let sit on it?!? I hope he didn't scratch the paint while you were taking the photo, or worse still, highside it onto the coffee table while trying to get a knee down. :nono:

[Mystic13]

You should have done a deal with the shop when you bought the bike that you got a 250 loaner.

If you wait 50 days just think how much more you'll enjoy that first ride. Now hope for sunny fine weather.

It'd be a bummer to wake up on day 50 to a winter storm.

Does the bike stay in the lounge or does it...

move to the bedroom at night.

[ManDownUnder]

Post me the keys and your return address - I'll post 'em back in 50 days

Jtzzr has a fine point, if not a bit selfish. I wish to offer a similar service except have you as pillion.

And if we trash, the way I ride, then you won't be any position to worry about insurance, unless you have a cell-phone which connects heaven/hell, with your insurance company.

The great thing about this requires a small reference back to Kieth Codes, Twist Of The Wrist and spending your ten bucks.

While you're riding a lot of your bucks go on concentrating on the riding bit. But when you're a pillion most of your bucks go on looking at what's coming. Thus you get to see the end of your time well before the rider (me) and thus get to enjoy the sequential transition between life and somewhere else. Whereas, the rider just gets a big shock for a few micro-seconds.

Must be inflation. It used to be 5 bucks. :msn-wink:

I think they might also like a full license though .....

You didn't have to worry about your Life & Disability Insurance.
They haven't got a stupidity exclusion.

oh yeah beers and bikes sounds awsome, will definatly hit you up for that. after the 1st of july that is :yes: (licence date!)

[varminter]

So, wotcha gona ride for your test?

[h_tron]

gots a loaner from henderson yamaha for the test:wari:

[Mom]

Only 48 more sleeps to go now :D

You can do it!

[dpex]

Nar. You're thinking five Euros. I remember quite clearly that in my copy it was ten bucks. And, of course, the message stands out for me because every time I twist my wrist I feel the pinch of RSI.

One gets RSI in one's wrist at my age. I never did understand why my old man kept telling me I was a banker. Used to make me frown a lot, even when I was just sixteen.

I was sixteen once, ya know. About the same time the Dead Sea was still only very sick. Mumble.

[cheshirecat]

I waited over 20 years for my VFR.
First saw one advertised up in Piccadily London in 87. Bright red it was and wanted one ever since.

Finally got a mint '94 last year (a number 9 bike and so the best) and wouldn't swap it for any other bike. (well maybe a 66 IOM Honda 250 6 or a MV 750 America or . . )

[h_tron]

i may or may have not taken her out for the first time on sat, and it may or may not have been the most awsomest thing ever!:bleh:
