    Gidday Mystery. Welcome to the site and to two wheels.

    When you have had to make an emergency stop and then take off again in a hurry you will see why first gear is at the bottom and not neutral!

    Hey Guys and Gals

    Thanks for the awesome welcome and encouragement. As well as doing a whole lot of reading on this site, I am reading "Twist of the Wrist" which has already shown me that I am doing a few things wrong that I can definitely remedy on future lessons.
    I'm still waiting for lesson #4 but I'm sure it will happen soon. My son is also learning to ride and the little bugger just jumped on the bike and rode like a pro on his first lesson. What is it with males and their natural ability when it comes to riding/driving all things mechanical? It was amazing!

    That's a very good place to start, Mystery.

    Yeah, but we make up for it by a seeming inability to understand things feminine.

    Anyway, it's nice to have you here on KiwiBiker - I hope you learn lots and make some good friends. There's always people willing to help out their brother/sister bikers. Oh - I guess you may not have realised that yet: you're now officially a member of the biker family. Welcome!
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    Hey Colapop

    You are too modest! Most legends are based on rumour and exaggerated stories so deny nothing. I have it on good authority that your hugs are legendary and never to be forgotten or repeated.

    Seriously though, thanks for the Official Welcome, this place is very educational, entertaining and extremely addictive.

    I too have got into the bike thing now my kids have grown a big (they not as old as yours though) but I just couldn't wait any longer. It is soo much fun once you get out there, something that always makes me smile.
