    Get with the programme grandbra, the big deal is appearing cool & hip in front of your mates.

    The other half is firing it under the Armco on a mild curve.

    The 1994 Skyline isn't?

    And yeah, sometimes the people on here can come across as a little harsh but, to be fair, you were being a little silly wit' yer words!

    Lessons to be learned:

    1) Focus money on gear and learning
    2) Get something cheap and cheerful, reliable, and stackable. Don't bother with new and pretty while you're figuring out what you're doing.
    3) GET INSURANCE and factor it into your costs (I work for an insurance company, trust me, just fucking do it)
    4) Never ever ever ever ever ever say "Grandbra" again if you don't want to cop the full force of this forum.. Saying silly things gets you an appropriate response

    Now, go get a bike, get on the road, get riding, get experience, get good and get on with it.

    Im fine. It's the kid with a penchant for Italian mobile air compressors I'm suspicious of.
    I ride a 250 scooter most days. I'm pretty sure my mates are beyond using that as a stick to measure my success by.

    Mates like that I don't need. Too much effort to worry about how I look these days. Hard enough to get out of bed.

    Come on, get better organised, get your act together... you've got to look good for that young lady who lives with you!

    Plus, you've got to get up in the morning to feed her...

    I don't have a lot of choice over that one. I usually get up about 6am to feed her. Any time from about 5am onwards, she is trying to haul the blankets off me to get me up. I didn't know she had a clock of her own...

    You'd better come on here for the occasional moan then. I literally can't do FB - If I'd had notice I'd have sent you a box of pigeons...

    You want a late model sports bike, you want cheap but minimal maintenance issues. Yamaha R3 in Auckland. Gear indicator and fuel gauge, reliable brand, and trademe bike for sale has a full service history.
