    Another Daytona lesson, YAY, I think I got it sussed this time.

    I am lucky enough to be getting riding lessons on a 955i Daytona. A big difference from my Bonnie.
    My first ride was not that sucessful, I was so bloody uncomfortable & my wrist was so sore but this time was a totally different story. We went to Kaiaua for lunch, then to kopu & back to Pukekohe.

    I got the riding position sorted and tried to relax.
    I now know to watch the rev counter
    Lost the death grip on the handle bars that was making my wrists sore.

    WOW, I didnt want to get off. I am totally hooked.

    So if you see a bright yellow Triumph being riden by a chic in a pink helmet with the biggest grin on her face, thats me!!!!!

    There was a sexy black one in my garage a year or two back & all I could good do was watch it pull away from me
    I had no chance off riding it, my hobbit legs were swinging in the breeze on it
    So Go for it
    Will you keep the bonnie? for those days you just wanna cruise or off shopping

    Yep those 955i's are great fun. I love the old "nattering burble" the sagem computer gives it at idle. Very euro.
