Well done Miss MystikEagle!! What a truly awesome first ride for you. Sounds like you learned lots too.
No body move... I dropped my brain

Thanks heaps guys! I was half expecting a lecture over the whole "in the wrong lane" thing...
Had an awesome ride out to my mates place in the country yesterday. Nice, quiet, twisting, hilly roads. Bugger all traffic (I think I met two cars). The sun was shinning and there was almost no wind. I seriously enjoyed myself and am getting much more confident with my turns. A little more interesting riding home today as the wind was much stronger. (It took me just over an hour to get there, one and a half to get home). It is a pretty amazing feeling riding this bike. It turns so easily, just lean it into the corner and round it goes. And I feel so safe and stable on it.
I am starting to wonder why it has taken me so long to get a bike in the first place
So now I just need to get some more practice in towns and then I should be fine to book in for my restricted!
Who am I? Why am I here?

Somebody give me another beer!

It's better to grip the tank if you're scared, or just slam the throttle right open and go for goldYeah, had to remind myself to stay relaxed when fingers started to go tingly from lack of blood flow due to mentioned "death grip"...
NO!!!
But it needs some gravel rash!!!!!

Lol, no gravel rash allowed!It's better to grip the tank if you're scared, or just slam the throttle right open and go for gold

Speaking of gravel, I had my first experience of riding on it yesterday. The last 5 or 10 minutes out to my mates is gravel so was a good learning curve. Just took it slow and stuck to the tyre tracks, only drifted a little. All in all, I was very pleased with my first attempt
Right, now I am off to town to get some cleaning and polishing supplies. It's going to be all bright and shiny when I'm finished

Yet again stay relaxed, then wide open throttle (what could possibly go wrong?)

Orsome Meagle!
Been a big weekend for the ladies, my GF did her first big run on Sunday, far enough to numb the cheeks but not quite as epic as yourself & similarly she learned a lot.
She may have a slightly different mind set, though. Never thought I would be telling her to save it for the track so soon. Gotta watch these 40 somethings
Lovely bike, I think you done real good.

Careful with the sidestand on the grass. They can suddenly sink in.

Nice weight bike to hone some skills and more horses under your control than in any Cambridge paddock. A good outing is Tauranga from Cambridge in the summer, enjoy.
Smarty pants... since ages ago
For the distance ... not too bad a time. You did well. A bit of experience at night riding too ...All in all, other than my one massive f#@k up, it was a good ride and I am already considering where to go next(maybe only once my muscles have recovered, and definately not so long!)
It wasn't a f#@k up ... (that's only if you scratch the paint or lose a bit of blood) ... just an oop's ...
You will learn most of the places a wind gust could find you .... but a few do catch you out.
When life throws you a curve ... Lean into it ...
