My first long ride on the Gladys.

Oh cool, will have to look into that gel-seat. Would make such a difference I reckon. either that or duct tape a pillow to it.

interview went well I think, will find out next week if I have the job or not. Whatever the outcome, it was worth the trip. I thoroughly recomend it. Not too far, you can do it and be back in Auckland all in one day.

Akl-Hn return in a day? No way!

Why don't you get some big boy pants and try a long ride again........
ignore the scoffers that suggest you have a pink bike or a girls bike.
do the coro loop next time. you can do the whole loop and still be back in auckland in one day........ i kid you not.

You have to do the occasional 150 stint to manage it in daylight.

I rode to the dairy on the corner this morning.

Must have taken all of 46 seconds. Longest ride in months! Give me praise!

Two years and never left Auckland? Wow. But you have done SH16, been to Puhoi etc right?!

(And no, I'm not single)

Probably because then he'd risk meeting KBers.

And with this thread, I'm not surprised.

For a girls bike, how do you rate the look/style?

look and style of a bike has always been low on my list of factors. I'm not a fashionista. I wanted the tried and true, brand new SV 650 engine.

Mmmmmmm..that would be nice ideed, i also saw motarded gladius, sounds strange but looked awesome

Just a question since you are not that keen on the magenta, didnt you like the blue/black/white paint scheme?
