    Antoher Newbie

    I have finally got around to buying a motorbike all thought not the fastest bike ever, excellent condition and I like it. Its a humble 2000 GN 125. Easy to ride too. When I went to pick it up I learn't how to ride very quickly because I had to ride it across town back home... I stalled only Once, so went back the long way to avoid traffic and cops, Getting license this weekend. Have the hang of it now and love it. Can't wait to get my license and go for a proper long ride!!!.

    have a great time on the new wheels, but never assume you have the hang of it! ive been riding 15 years (im only 19) and am still learning new things. Good luck and keep the shiny side up.

    Hey welcome man. Good luck with the licence. May see you round on the road shortly then.
    You know you had a good nite when you have to ask someone if you had a good nite.

    Welcome Charlie! You sound like you have some good biker sense there, this is a good place to develop it...and you havn't even got your license!

    Oh, and don't be concerned that you havn't got a fast bike, one step at a time bud.

    Welcome mate and here is some valuable advice for you. Riding a GN125 does not mean you are a harley gang member.

    (Check out my "The great CBR vs GN debate" thread.)
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    I see. Well if you ever get around to learning how to wheelie you'll find that you need to stay quite close to the machine as it comes up or else you won't be able to see where you're going! An alternative is to do standup wheelies, of which I've never attempted
