    Talking First bike!

    Have just put in a deposit for my first bike! Haven't picked it up yet, as it is in Fielding, but thanks to Cowboyz for checking it out for me!

    Its an FXR150, and I know lots of people are saying I'll grow out of it quickly because of its lack of grunt due to the small engine, but I'm still extra extra excited and plus I'm a slow learner, so we'll see

    Yay!

    Congratulations on the bike!

    Don't under-estimate the the FXR 150, EJ can really zip round on that bike.

    I reckon it's definately a good bike and it'll do motorway speeds easy-as.

    Congrats on your bike.

    I've gotta pick my first bike up next week too.

    I think we've missed out on summer though!

    Hopefully, Autumn will hold out for us!

    Ha ha, yay you, Don't listen to poo pooers, they may be right but you'll have heaps of fun in the mean time. It's a good choice for a first bike and it's yours and it's great and I'm all excited now.

    My first bike was a 125, 327 years ago but it was brilliant fun, enjoy enjoy. I need some retail therapy now, Iz well jealous.

    Have a bit o bling to go with your new bike me lovely.
    Oh bugger
