hahaha nah that photo was taken last night outside a friends place before i rode home. It may have taken me a couple of hours to get home, cos I may have gotten lost. Don't follow someone who knows where they are going, especially when you don,t and you don't know their hand signals. LOL.

I got stuck behind a car at an intersection, and he forgot about me. I found his house by sheer dumb luck.

Jump on your bike now and you won't fall off. Kinda like a suction cup.

Two hours riding. My first wheelie. My first hill start.

So the wheelie was totally an accident. But I'm claiming it. I gave it far too much and the clutch decided it was going to jump right out. I felt it touch down, maybe an inch in height but I just about died laughing after I realised what I'd done. Started out from work, round the bays, back up through brooklyn, northland, thorndon, up to grenada village, coffee, then back to town again then home. It was awesome!

Looks like you made a good choice. The bike seems the ideal physical size for you and starting out with this one means you should get maximum fun out of motorcycling from the start. You will learn faster and gain confidence more quickly.

The real cool thing about making a "sensible" choice like this is that you have also bought a nice bike that you like without feeling you have somehow "had to compromise."
