Getting first bike soon

[Danae]

This Friday I'll be pillioning up to Kerikeri with motorbyclist to pick up a Suzuki FXR 150, unless there is something blatantly wrong with it.
I have my learners and everything, and can't wait to ride the FXR back.

I've had my scooter since February-ish and it's now a little bit beat up. XD After a bit of cleaning and fixing I'll be selling it on trademe.

Hoping for reasonable weather this friday!

[Cheshire Cat]

Woohoo! Good luck!
Have a safe trip!

[Phurrball]

YaaaaaY!

A choice you won't regret - what colour is it? Blue, silver or green? We can be team SMC FXR

(Except the days I'm on a Honda-thing because I suddenly have magically have money to run one )

Andrew can show you how to abuse one properly too...

[Ragingrob]

Oh god we're in trouble now... Where can I hide my bike at uni!

[Danae]

It's one of the blue ones with the big yellow checkered pattern on the tank. :]

Olololol! You'll have no trouble hiding, Rob; people seem to love parking you in!

[Phurrball]

Ah, IIRC, the blue ones are the newest - excellent!

You need to give us more accurate time sand locations.
So we can all escort you to your bike pickup and ride out.

Are you picking it up from a dealership or private?

if its private seller i am sure 30 odd bikes turning up would get him to lower the price slightly.

[Danae]

I've heard of that happening. XD A group of bikers turning up to check out a bike is akin to a flock of vultures descending upon some poor soul stranded in a desert in the middle of nowhere.

Ya it's a private seller. Shit, speaking of which I should probably get his actual address off him. Somehow I think "Kerikeri" isn't specific enough ha

[kasper]

would you care for an extra couple of riders to come along.

Then your first ride on the bike can be a proper actual ride out doing stuff with kb'rs

That sounds like fun!! We shall see

That sounds like fun!! We shall see

Are you riding it back from Kerikeri? To Auckland?
Let me warn you, the seat on the FXR gets pretty uncomfortable on a long trip. I found that, just riding between Hamilton and Auckland on my one.
But then again EJK did an AKL/WLG road trip on his FXR a couple of times...

[Danae]

I'll deal with it

Yeah you guys can tag along if you like. :] I'll sort out a place and time to meet and give you the address there, don't wanna give this guy's address out on the internet lol. Hoping for fine (enough) weather
