Look what I got!!

Well, so much for that!
I have had a rotten cold for weeks so haven't been riding at all, that is, until yesterday on our weekly HB kb ride.
Looked at the Ninja, looked at the EL....nah, feck it, I took the Ninja, despite all my lofty ideals, despite leading hXc by example rather than words, despite everything I said, I just couldn't leave it parked up!
It is great! Feels planted on the road, has plenty of pull in top gear for me to be able to pass slow traffic, corners smoothly, comfortable to ride, controls are easy to find, dials are easy to read....its fabulous!
When we got home, Mstrs shifted the poor little EL to the furtherest corner of the gargre out of the way,I will ride the Ninja instead and I will just borrow hXc's Spada when I sit my full.
Yep! I'm a naughty girl....but only if I get caught, right????

Being on a bike larger than your licence allows should only be a problem if you can't handle it. You can. End of story.

Sweet!

Kind of confirms what I think about the 250 laws too. Mid-sized bike like that with good handling and accessible power is a lot easier to ride than a 250 that needs an "enthusiastic" riding style, particularly with the throttle.

you don't need the gvt or ltnz to tell you when you are a good rider cause you kno you're the bomb right from the start... paperwork be damned

Aaah, errrr, ummm, you haven't seen me ride, have you? Good rider, no!!
Da bomb, definitely not!
The nanareast of nana riders ..absolutely!! Especially now that Ixion isn't around to argue the point with me.
Mind you, I am a better rider on the ninja than I was on the EL.
