GingerMidget's new bike!

Its the kind of bike that will sell for around what you payed for it when you want to upgrade.Nice condition and great for a comuter around the City also.Get the skills up and prepare for LAMS changes then you can keep it maybe for your town bike and get a open road bike also.

Work tomorrow, and then I'll go out and play. Anyone want to escort a newbie?

nice work, get the grin factor going. There's still a couple of months of good riding weather before the Welly winter kicks in.

Congrats

Looks like a great little bike! You'll have heaps of fun on it I reckon. What was wrong with the migelli just out of curiosity? You don't see much being said about them.

The other one is quite a big bike for a small person, it wanted to rev a lot more than i was comfortable with, and was quite an advanced feeling position. This is more neutral in all ways.

I don't know where i'm going tomorrow on my first real ride as owner, but i'll no doubt take some pics

Insurance is already paid

Someone awesome found me an awesome deal. I'm calling them monday to switch the cage insurance over too. I can't believe how much cheaper bike insurance is compared to car!

All in all, there will be people hating on it for only being a 125, but i'd kill myself a lot faster on a 250. At least this way, should i come to harm, i might walk away. Plus i feel comfortable getting it wedged in behind my car, so clearly i can walk it backwards which was on my must have list.

At the end of the day, only I will be riding it (unless i really trust you) so i have to be happy. I am.

Welcome to Zach. Look forward to seeing it feature in a tag and a picture of you on it Ginger Midget.
As for the current tag I wouldn't have used the words wee or local

but certainly a great ride.
