    Manawatu newbie - VT250 Spada

    Hi, been reading around the forums and like what I see here.

    Great to see lots of posts about the GDLS, enforcement of the law and heaps of tips for new riders!

    Recently got my licence and purchased a Honda VT250 Spada. Have so far taken advantage of the weather to clock up 1000+ k's on it. Great fun little bike!

    Over 25 and have a bigger bike on exemption pending full licence - 1986 Honda Shadow VT1100, needs a bit of work (anyone who knows where to get a front rim and headlight let me know!) Thought I would learn on the Spada and move into the big cruiser later on.

    Anyways, nice to be part of the community.

    The Spada's the better of your two bikes mate. Once you get on the big one you'll want to go back!

    Welcome on board mate. Be sure to turn up at the Manawatu easy friday night rides and make some new friends and find out where all the good coffee joints are

    I have to agree with McJim. The smaller bike will be far more fun!
