    Eff yeah, my new bike has arrived, time to get back into it!

    WELL. I'm on a high at the moment. Sold my lil DRZ125 awhile back and wasnt expecting to be getting another bike (meant to be saving for me wedding next year haha), however I stumbled accross a little gem and couldnt resist. Specially with summer at the doorstep and new gears sitting unused!

    So the new addition to my family is a 2011 Forza 230f. She arrived Friday afternoon 90% assembled, so I spent Saturday morning getting aquainted.

    For the price that I paid, I honestly expected far less than what I got. Apart from needing to buy a couple of nylock bolts (eventually) to replace the ones on it now, and maybe adjusting the kickstart level, I cant fault it.

    I've not been long in the biking world so had a few friends come look at it on Saturday, all of whom were well impressed.

    Currently in the run-in stage, and hoping to take it out for a good ride this coming weekend so I will let you all know how it goes! And of course load up some pics

    Its amazing! Im daydreaming about it all day. And when Im home I have to check on it in the garage. Make sure its all tucked in nicely. And I've never been so paranoid. Heard a noise outside late last night and before I new it I was out of bed running out to the garage to make sure it wasnt a thief out there hahaha. I cant wait for a good long ride on it!!

    Nice, please do give a running report, as I have every confidence in the bike's quality and hope to upgrade the GF's CFR150 to one when she's a little more confident.

    ...and yeah, nothing like the thrill of a brand new bike, had my first experience last year with the Kato... I refused to ride it for a week, just so I could go down to the garage each day and admire it's newness... didn't take long to not look new after that though...

    Hahahahaha I remember when I got my first MX bike an old cr125 but i lay awake at night wandering if the stand was sturdy enough and praying it wouldnt fall off it and break something,I'd rush home from work to check no scum had stolen it.

    It eventually passes enjoy it while you can............I can go days now without even looking at my bike sad huh.
    Even on the old ones if you dont race serious and you wanna just go do the odd club day and smoke everyone on a big old 5hundy it great and if you get beaten you have a handful of excuses
