I did it finally!

[Tink]

After 37 years of sitting on the back or in a side car (yes I am that old) and only 5ft2... I got on a 400cc kawasaki Zephyr tonight and loved it... it was so easy I couldn't stop grinning... I am seriously thinking of downgrading the car, and getting a bike by summer... woop.

Good stuff however don't assume the heaviness will feel as cumbersome once you have been riding again for a wee while.

I used to think the SV was a huge heavy monster now it feels like one of my old 250s - seriously the ZXR250 was a bit tall for me and I never quite got comfy on it before I had a break from riding for 5 years before getting the SV.

Age is but a state of mind doll. Trust me on this one!

I just checked out your profile pic! I could see the grin from here.

You are doomed now, you know that eh?

You are thinking of UPgrading the car - ie. ditching it and getting a bike instead!

I think the kids might get upset about that.... maybe a sidecar for those days when I need to get them to school lol

Ok I got into 2nd gear today, and stopped and started, and stalled, and put my feet up, and bloody hell the bike is heavy, but man it felt good.

Stalling is nothing to be ashamed of at all. I sometimes resort to it, just to be able to find neutral

Something much, much more embarrassing than that is...

Taking off from some lights and changing up to second, only to miss and select neutral. The resulting roar from your engine attracts far more attention than simply quietly stalling I can assure you
