    Hello everyone (BlindEye)

    Never ridden a motorcycle in my life, up until last saturday, and my basic handling test instructor/trainer thought i did ok. So as of today i now hold my 6L. I thought it was funny enough to post on here (as I have visited as a guest in this forum before) but it seems I posted it in the wrong section. What a tool.

    Well i hope to stick around and post a bit and look forward to getting to know you all.

    It's kinda late to get much response from a lot of working folk, so welcome to the site!
    I seem to be someone who collects hobbies & then drops them. Riding motorcycles is definitely an exception; I have been doing that nearly all my life & am still addicted.
    Enjoy your new hobby & addiction!

    Welcome to 2 wheels, or sometimes 3 wheels as I own a Spyder. Like Sootie I also collect hobbies but riding bikes is more than a hobby, it gets into your soul. The problem is that you can never find the 'right' bike and must change them regularly in order to continue the quest. Or is that just me...........

    Well the next part of my 'quest' will probably be the best. Buying my first bike and gear. My day off tomorrow (tuesday) so that means shopping time. I've got at least two bike shops I want to visit and sit on some bikes. So excited and I'm being slightly immature and making engine sounds as i move around the house

    that sounds just like me when I started riding. Hang on... That still sounds like me. I am totally hooked, and sounds like you are too. Welcome to the club.

    Welcome to the mad house. If you have been spying on it as a guest you will already know you have to separate the wheat from the chaff yourself. Enjoy your shopping, it is better fun than hardware stores

    Sounds like someone had better watch out on there next choice of "bike" or they might find themselves in a soft top (or is that soft cock) roadster, MR3 anyone? you can still wear the helmet with the top down

    My first purchase (after ordering a bike over the phone) was a helmet....it wasn't out of the ordinary for me walk around the house with it on...I wouldn't sit and watch TV with it on though, thats just weird..

    Ouch! I've also got a Rocket III so maybe a soft cock but definitely big balls :-D. Anyway, I compare my sex life to a Ferrari....... I don't have one of those either!!

    So today I got a nice new kawasaki. Love it. Now I'm bugging my mates to get their bike licence so I have someone to ride with.

    Hopefully it doesn't take them long

    Welcome along, the more users the better.

    There's lots of advice to be had. The trick is deciding which of it is valuable.

    Thumbs up

    Yes, welcome to KB Blindeye, hope that Kwaka does you good service. Remember to wave to all other motorcyclists regardless of colour or creed, course no waving to those Hardly things, nor those can of spam ones, lol.
    Enjoy and keep her shiny side up.
    Every day above ground is a good day!:

    It is a whole etiquette thing this waving. You really need to be up with the play!
    Big bikes never wave to little bikes
    Little bikes never wave to big bikes
    Big bikes nearly always wave to other big bikes
    Little bikes occasionally wave to other little bikes
    Oh yes; Only Harleys wave to other Harleys! (Quite right too)
    Then there is the loneliness factor. If it is lonely enough even bikers & cagers wave to each other!
    In parts of Australia, if you are beside your vehicle in a lonely place (probably broken down) the law requires that any motorist must actually stop and talk to any other motorist & make sure they are OK!

    Anyway, enjoy getting the hang of it all, it still cracks me up!
