A girl and her CBR (Miss Sash)

Hi all,

New to KB and still fresh to riding. Been riding for almost a year now. Started out on a 2013 CBR250RR and quickly made the upgrade to a 2013 CBR500R once i felt comfortable.

I live in Auckland, try to ride as much as I can mainly around the streets of East Auckland and occasionally run out to Maraetai/Clevedon area. I mostly ride with my partner but every now and then when he's busy ill ride around on my lonesome just getting to know my bike.
I've always wanted to learn how to ride a motorcycle, had no idea just how much i'd fall in love with it to be honest. I don't know how i'd cope without my ride time these days. People told me it was addicting when i first started learning, boy were they right.
I love my CBR500, just the right amount of get up and go without being to daunting for me, although my partner let me take his 2014 636 ninja out for a ride around the block the other day and i really didn't want to give it back!! That'll teach him for sharing!!

I've very much made my 500 my own! It started out as a Tri-colour and is now mainly Pink, needless to say my partner refuses to ride it now! I am becoming very good friends with the boys down a Demon Graphics in East Tamaki as they have done the vinyl wrapping on both of the bikes i have owned so far and I have a feeling this wont be the last either. Also they've done an awesome job of Pink'ing out my Helmet which is now complete with a bright pink glittery bow on the top, Hard to Miss!!
I'd love to head out to the track later in the year once i feel confident enough and have some decent gear and also would love to find some more female riding buddies!

Mainly I just can't wait for summer so I can get a little more seat time in, learn more about my bike and what I can do with it and get more confident so I can maybe tag along on some group rides! i'd probably just hold everyone up at the moment!!!

Glad to be apart of the KB community
