back riding...

**DemonWolf** · 10th August 2005, 14:24

Greetings KB, Been reading the forum for the past 2 days, its great, good advice and everything. Love it!

I'm getting a Suzuki TL1000 98, tomorrow. I haven't ridden for about 7 years now... started off on a 100cc that my brother wiped out on.. he did some damage to his leg and never really got back into bikes. Anyway, it was a blast riding around King Country with a mate and his 125cc.. Had that for a few years before it decided to die on me.. then brought a Suzuki GS550, nice bike to ride, did alot of trips to Welly and the Naki. Wiped out on a corner that had some gravel on it, totalled... bout a year after that got a new Honda CBR250R but only had it for 6 months before a car wiped me out and totalled the bike. Haven't ridden a bike for about 7 years now.. very excited, but in saying that abit nervous as well. Broken my collar bone twice.. but I've always wanted to get back into bikes.. and.. tomorrow I'm taking a day off.. getting the bike.. getting some threads.. and riding!

Welcome to KB

and back to the world of biking.

Hope you have a blast on your new bike. Just remember to take it easy for a bit while you get back into it (an hour should be about right!)

**DemonWolf** · 10th August 2005, 18:36

Thanx Mikey... Will be riding in Taranaki. And yeah Riff Raff.. I'm gonna take it very easy.. (for the first hour!)

hmmm.. sitting here in the office.. and I can see blue sky (with some very dark clouds wizzing by).. and all I'm thinking about is my bike! and how I'd love to ride it! Get some experience up... On the way to work, in the car pool, I was thinking how'd I'd take and this corner... hmmmm (next week.. I'm riding to work.. no more car pool for me!)

Welcome DW. Dont worry bout Mikey, he's horrible to all new members until he gets to know you. Then he is a very lovable and affectionate guy.

Good luck with the riding and hope it all goes well

**DemonWolf** · 12th August 2005, 11:07

Haha.. Cheers Zniper,

I already thought he was being affectionate.. he offered to get some help for me!

Good stuff demon wolf just make sure you keep about a grand aside for any touch ups after mishaps (speaking from experience)

Thought i had it all together again after not riding for a while................turns out NOT!
