Finally... The pictures

Ahhh...first big bike

The memories...every time you take it out that wealth of power at your control makes you feel like the Daddy of them all...as the peasants meander around you in their pitiful, economical vehicles...you think how most of them will never know the kind of acceleration you could experience any freakin' time you want...

...and two weeks later you want a thou' :P Until you ride your current bike in the rain

took it out for a quick blat out through SH16 to Kaukapakapa for a pie. Was doing around 160 past a ute and came up to one of those one way bridges so slowed to 80ish, second car to come around the corner was a cop

really enjoying the bike now, so much better to be able to stay in one gear and always have power when you want it.... sure gets windy on those straights

Might be up for a ride on the weekend. Was gonna take my friend out for a cruise as pillion on sunday so not sure if i will join a group on a ride or just go out on my own.

i've only had it for 4 days and im kinda feeling that way already

im sure the 600 will be fun for a long time yet tho. Wait til im on the edge of the tyres then i'll worry about getting a bike with more power/wider tyres.

to be honest i havent been trying. Had the front of the ground but not intentionally since the first day riding. After its insured i'll be pushing it more and trying some silly stuff like that

Yeah...much fun to be had trying to stop the flattening of the rear tyre when you can get away from the commute.

If you're up for a ride...I'm always keen for Old North/ SH16 or something...this weekend especially as Uni's just finished. You might wanna stick by yourself for a bit though aye...just 'til you get used it...other silly buggers might bring out your competitive side before you're used to it.
