Suzuki fxr150.
I'm Dave, 19 (going on 20! AHHH!), in chch, opinionated, and sick of the unique smell of urine, vomit, and disqualified boyracer that seems to linger at the back of every bus, cars are too expensive to run, i dont need 3 and a half other seats, my imaginary friends all live in my pockets anyway.
I talked to a few salesmen (heh, I'm in retail so i saw it comming) and a few mates of mates (ya know that thing where you realise you dont know anyone who knows anything about motorbikes?) and decided a nice small 150 will do me fine for the first 18 months of what is to hopefully be, a long biking career.
Havent got my lisense yet, at this stage I'm booked in 2 weeks from now at mainland (thats the only free time i can do it) but i might book asap type thing and pull a sickie at work (might as well take the day off and sit the lisense as well)
also need to get a helmet (tomorrow when the stores are open) but untill then i used my downhill mountain bike helmet and took her (maggie) for a crawl up and down the drive, went easily enough, bike starts and sounds great.
so I guess I'll be reading through these forums from time to time, soaking up the advice, asking all the stupid questions "when should i use 1/2 on the fuel tap?" I'm a quick learner and hope to be a member of your...not so wee...community here.
