Right, lets see if she starts! Nope, not for me will she (total hussy, only likes Andrew!!), so once Skunk got her started I headed out with all the other noobs to try her out.
Took it pretty quietly for a few laps, she feels ok, so lets pick up the pace a bit. Oh my god, this is awesome!!! I had no idea what to do, how to ride a two stroke, how to change gears properly, how much I could lean her, it was all unknown, the brakes felt a bit weird, the forks felt funny.... this is not my Horney Hornet (no shit Sherlock!), but I was so proud of myself and Pamela, she didn't once feel like she wanted to turf me off, and I had built her (OK, with a lot of help!)
