have you wheelied it yet?

haha not likely. Hasn't moved since Lisa parked it in the garage. I need some lessons on on wheeling it about, the last thing I want is to make a stupid mistake because I don't know what I'm doing and damage it, it's a real minta.

Hint #1 for not looking stupid by falling over at low speed:

Approach Petrol Station pumps EXTREMELY slowly and carefully. More often than not there's oil or spilt petrol there and putting your foot in it when you stop leads to lots of swearing and bruised egos.

Wow I really need practise, slow riding is so tricky I rode to the end of the driveway tonight HAHA started heading for the bush when I started off lol Need to go find a big car park or industrial area. Pretty fuggin nervous just quietly

Just had my first ride yesterday! Was scared shitless and really nervous / shaky in the beginning but once getting to a car park for practise away from traffic I relaxed and did pretty good! The ride home was sweet. I'm so lucky I have lots of great friends that ride, and that come and ride with me So glad I had a few friends behind me to keep traffic away from me especially at intersections and round a bouts

Teeeheeeee - don't forget to breathe

Well done D!!! Each time you get on your Ginga Ninja it will get easier and easier. Just get your sexy butt on the bike as much as possible.

Yup I am going to ride any chance I can! Once I have all the coordination sussed so traffic doesn't stress me out then I shall be riding to work into the CBD. Can't wait for Easter weekend, hope it's fine!

Not trying to bag your ride, but - that model have about the worst front suspension ever put on a motorcycle (well in the last 25yrs anyway). That said, if you weigh < 45kg it's passable.
I seriously question the wisdom of lumping a noob who is least able to ride around it with the worst suspension.

So i have done some research and was just wondering where you get your infomation from regarding my suspension. My bike as far as i can tell has WAY better suspension then the Hyosungs. I haven't found any problems, no drops, or spills. I feel i have total control. I weigh 72 kgs so no im not tiny or anything. I check my tire pressure all the time, and maintain it. What makes it THE WORST EVER suspension?

Keen for a ride anytime

Keen for a ride anytime

Absolutely! Let me just get a bit more practise first so I get confident and not stalling in intersections and can take off smoother and then I'm definitely keen
