  4. Need some more spare time please... where can I buy this?

    How the hell are you meant to get gud at riding when you work full time & have kids who do heaps of sports!! Had the bike a few months now but my confidence is growing ever so slowly due to time restraints! Only free time is late at night but wait that's no good as i have my learners! If someone knows where to buy an xtra day from I'll gladly pay any price!

  5. New to all this....

    Well i have recently started riding. My hubby started a couple of years ago and I decided it looked fun and would have a go. So bought a new GN125, decided to start small as my last experience on a motobike left me on crutches for many weeks! Not enjoying the 70km/hr rule, have managed to somehow misplace my 'L' plate, no dramas yet, had a couple of near misses but my GN seems to be very forgiving and looks after me well... although I'm definelty keen to now get something bigger!
