Good stuff bigbadwolf
Had much experience on two wheels? I haven't, so I still feel a bit worried about riding around in traffic and in town. Want to get the feel of it a bit more, make sure I'm comfortable on the saddle. I 'spose the easiest way to do that is to just get out and ride, but it'd be nice to be able to do it on some quieter roads than those around my place. Any quiet roads around your place? Could meet up when you get your bike and go around the block 20 times to get used to it!

You've got the right attitude DE. Just take it easy and it'll flow. Better to ride for years than for a day.

quiet roads around my place? i'm about 2 blocks away from riccarton mall! so yeah theres quite a bit of traffic near me. but there are a few back streets around the university that are ok, although the amount of speed bumps is bordering on insane... maybe we could try riding around in avonhead? its not terribly busy and the roads are fairly straight, few roundabouts chucked in the mix to give us a bit of a challenge!Good stuff bigbadwolf

i'm about the same as you in terms of experience, been riding pushbikes for years and done a wee bit of downhill stuff on them, but in terms of bikes with motors i havent done much. couple of scooters and an automatic dirtbike a few years ago is about it.
anyway, i'll hit you up with a PM when my bike arrives!
Plodding along at his own pace
Great stuff.
You guys should look at a nice quite ride out through Halswell, down old Tai Tapu road, across to Lincoln through there to Rolleston, Rolleston to West Melton, then back to town will take you 2 hours tops and give you both a good shakedown run in varied traffic on the flat land. The summit is a great ride but get to know your respective bikes. Akaroa once you get a little more confidant.
When I get my bike back on the road I will join you in a similar ride.
Its not the destination that is important its the journey.

man that sounds awesome dude. i used to live out at halswell and its very quiet out there, would be suitable for a nice decent ride! also when we get a bit more experienced we should up dyers pass road to the sign of the kiwi, then right across the summit road and back into chch. its an amazing drive/ride, i'm thinkin of headin up there the day i get my bike (maybe after a fair bit of practice first!)
an antithesis
Congrats..
at that time of night.. you weren't the one hooning through St Albans were you?
anyways I'm sorry I couldn't see it, in a little over a week I'll pull you up on that beer and have a good perv then. I got mobbed this weekend with people trying to catch up with me

Damn good on ya!
The roads round halswell would be pretty good to practice on, ya just gotta get to them first
Just take your time, relax and dont get too overconfident, and just get some time on the bike whenever you can ..you'll be fine!
