    DB what have you been drinking man? Both of your post here have been frankly, Brilliant.
    Sheba, everyone else's comments are pretty much spot on, take your time learn everything you can and treat all other motorists as IDIOTS while your'e amongst them on your bike.
    DB's advice,words of encouragement above couldn't be truer, you make your own luck and you can minimize pretty much all of the danger, by taking the responsibility and rdiing accordingly, STONEY yer wrong, well kinda anyhow, lol.
    Every day above ground is a good day!:

    Wow, I never realised how wise KBers can be. And I'm really enjoying hearing everyone's experiences, how you started, etc. It's really cool and encouraging me to seek my dreams, but with care and thought put into it. Thanks guys.

    DB would like to apologise, he forgot to log off and one of his kids got at the keyboard.

    Couldn't agree more, would be a dull world if we were all the same and I do celebrate our differences - frequently I assure you.

    Out of idle curiosity - what piqued your interest in the KLE (or riding for that matter)?

    Nah. I'm sure you're wrong. Both of you.

    Good questions. I've read that they are rated highly for new riders. A little high off the ground, but once it gets going, a great ride. It's been quoted that they are brilliant value for the money, appear very reliable and economical to run. Plus I like the way it looks. I could start a thread asking advice of which bike would be best to get, but I'm afraid I would get hundreds of opinions and get too confused.

    As far as riding, as a young teenager I rode on the back of a bike once and LOVED the sensation of the speed in open spaces, not confined in a car. And then I met a most wonderful person that gave me a few rides and since then, fell in love with riding. Don't know how realistic at this point, but a girl can dream, can't she?

    Gonna have to wait for the law to change for that one unfortunately (in NZ). A learner isn't currently allowed a bike bigger that 250cc (which is really stupid given the speed that some 150cc machines can achieve). There are draft recommendations to alter this to 150 kilowatts pre tonne which should bring the KLE into reach.

    Take a look at the Australian LAMS scheme -> http://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/lams/ I believe the NZ scheme is expected to be very similar.

    There are quite a few bikes that are similar: F650GS, KLR650, Pegaso,...

    No sense of adventure whatsoever. C'mon guys - what bike should Sheba aspire to. [steps back quickly]

    I've actually considered that...with a pink helmet. I've seen a very nice one relatively recently, but didn't look long enough to see what make/model.
