I did it finally!

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

Oh I like to stall it that way I know what I am doing wrong (this time not enough throttle), takes a lot to embarrass me hehe.... who invented 1st N 2nd anyway... lol

Get into it Gal

I always liked the Zephyr range, I was tempted by the 750 & 1100 when they came out years ago. An interesting note is that the NZ new models had traditional wire spoke wheels and the imports from Japan (ironically where the NZ new came from as well ....) had cast ones.

Well Geordie is considering moving up to the 750cc, I was never a retro style biker, but this bike is easy to handle, and low enough for me. I am having 2nd thoughts about what 250 to get eventually, sports or cruiser.

How cool is that! If you learn on a 400 then the 250 will feel a little "thin" once you get it. Proud of ya!

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.

Yaye for you girl!!

Downgrade the car, trust me on this. And you are the Mummy so you tell those little ankle bitters how it's gonna be!

I sold my Nissan GTT Skyline for a 121 Bubble FFS. Got a mean little Prilly RS250 track bike with the remaining funds. Sold my dream car for my dream bike!! (Funny how things change like that)

JUST DO EEET!

Scared of how much money I will loose on car... its a 2007, and pretty nice, but your right, you only live once, lol the ankle biters actually love motorbikes haha... but I don't have the resources to them both a trial bike plus gear, plus me... a bike... damn clicking the heels would just be the thing right now...

What do you call a "collection" of hyosongs?

Besides - if you had a 'proper' collection - would you really stay riding a 650 Hyo'bag ? Im guessing not.
