Yep. Haven't hit the 2nd decade yet but getting close

I was a young rider (I'm 22 years old). I bought my first bike when I was 19 years old, a Suzuki GN250. Unfortunately It ended up like my left leg, totally wrecked. I and It were hit by a mobility van, all before my 21st birthday.

I learnt some key pointers after that accident which are all too easy to oversee with young (or youngish) riders like ourselves.

1. Get insurance for both your gear and your bike (Full coverage)
2. Get defensive riding lessons
3. Practice riding on the road with a group (Join a local club, get to know experienced riders)
4. Wear hi viz gear and full body armor (The best you can afford. Never ride in a hoddie, jeans and sneakers or even worse, jandals)

Proven fact...73% of all males in NZ between the ages of 16-20 prefer thier cellphones over sex, its a toss up over the the other 27%.
What chance is there that any one of that 27% couldn't even name a bike model?

My 14yr old son (Tyler117 on KB) likes and talks about bikes, rides a Honda RS125, knows heaps but hasn't got much intrest in anything with lights, blinkers and number plates, raced a KR150 before



Pics from Manfeild last Saturday, was doing 194kmh on the GPS lap timer on the back straight
