A bit of a blond moment...

**Lissa** · 5th May 2007, 18:54

I am posting this in the bikers angels so hopefully not too many guys read it.

Had a major blond moment. Got my new bike last Friday. Going from a GN to a Bandit is quite different. I thought I had asked all the questions I needed to on it. Stu even made me put it on the centre stand before I could ride away.

Been riding it for a week now... been concentrating on getting the revs up and feeling comfortable on the bike. Well a friend came around to check the bike out, because I have been having problems with the braking, so he took it for a wee blat to look at them. He told me how fast he got the bike too.. I couldnt believe it, I had riden it the day before and I couldnt get it that fast.

Doh... I never knew my new bike had 6 gears not 5 which is what I had been riding as if it had!!

I know... silly Woman!!!

Anyone else had any 'blond' moments? I was born blond I have an excuse!

I don't go by forum topics, just check new posts so I'm here anyway.

Sweet chick!!

Great you've found the extra gear but don't let

catch you going too fast eh.

What was up with the brakes? Do you have both the levers adjusted to suit you right as that makes a huge difference to being able to ride smooth and fast?

I would have found it at some stage.. its just someone had told me that bandits only had 5 so I didnt even think to check.

Still no Biker Angels are commenting on this thread - what does that tell you?

Dodgy - hey remember I'm the guy in the tux.

Skel love your pic - South Island always did it for me, especially the years I lived down there.
