    That's so cool to know where my baby is now! It was my first bike and I had it from new so it was always a bit special. It had done over 23,000kms when I sold it but it looked in mint condition.

    And Kittie, don't worry, I dropped mine a couple of times when learning to ride - always at virtually walking pace! The first time it landed on me so there was no damage, the second time I bent the clutch lever and was told it would crack and break so I bought a new one but never got around to fitting it and it never broke! I dropped it at the traffic lights about a week after getting it - I was so busy trying to get it into neutral (it was a BITCH to get into neutral!) I forgot to put either foot down - whoops!

    Enjoy it, I am sure you will have a smile from ear to ear once you get out and about!
    Yes, I am pedantic about spelling and grammar so get used to it!

    Pretty sure it was your old one. It's been lowered to the ground. You hit the pegs pretty early

    I've dropped it a few times now. First time I hit some corrugations on a corner doing 120. Second time a car ran me off the road, but I only landed in a grassy ditch forunatly. The last time a week and a half ago the cheap tyres (but the most expensive I could afford) slipped in the wet and sent me flying on my arse into a parked bus.

    So yeah, it's not in the greatest condition asthetically anymore. But it's mechanically great since I did the piston 5000k's ago and the powervalves are ok, except for the battery not working and not getting enough power from the alternator to get them moving. But I'm in the process of doing up another crashed RG I got off a mate, and I'll learn from that and do up Purple Fury too

    Man, sounds like my baby has had a hard life! If it is mine, the end part of the rego worked out to be Talented Young Lady - but you may have to change that to Total Yobbo Lad!

    No sorry, Kittie's bike is not your bike. Also bike not lowered but in that pic ratcheted down for transport to the bottom of the suspension travel.

    Glad you are having fun on the bike Kittie - ride safe and take it easy. There's a lot more going on on the open rd so build up your confidence slowly.
    You'll both have a lot of fun!

    Also as a complete wuss I do tend to be an ATGATT rider - all the gear all the time!
