You ride bloody quick for a sports bike on gravel man! But i just HAD to overtake you so i could give hope to all GN riders in the world
Anytime i'm heading down south man i'l give you a PM and we can have round two

Good on you CW. Good post. I'm a little concerned though that you may think you're not still a 'learner' just because you've got rid of your 'L' thingee.You've got 6 months in the saddle and some good kms under your wheels but please don't get too complacent or something will come up and bite you in the arse. You've only done 6 months so that means you haven't yet learned the joys of winter riding. Much fun! There are also a heap of odd situations that you won't have come across yet so just keep your wits about you.
I've always reckoned that if you can survive the first 18 months then you're well on the way to making it as a biker. Good luck for the next year dude.

Agree with you 100%. I'm in the same situation as Choco.
Just wondering...
At what Point can i call myself a Real biker ? How many years or how many Kmrs ?

I am, and always be learner.
We learn new things everyday; like on Toto's ride i learned how to get the GN revving nicely in 5th gear (get a bit of a boost going down hill).
One of the things that made me feel weird was the fact that i still feel like a learner; but i just dont have the plate to prove it to everyone else anymore.
I think it's when you stop trying to be a biker. One of those reverse logic thingys.

If you know a bit about bikes, respect other riders and seek out their company, ride your bike even when it's raining or ride your bike somewhere when it would be easier just to take the car, then I think you are a real biker.

Awesome mate, that kinda set my mind at ease with my restricted test looming an all!
Scooter boy
for ugly learner plates.
Never really understood why people are so resistant to using them. All the who-har about being treated weird on the road, as targets etc... bleh, never noticed any difference personally.
And besides, nothing beats out dragging silly rice cookers whilst proudly displaying said L plate. Good times

Very true! I can smoke pretty much any car at the lights up to 50km/hr and thats on a GN!And besides, nothing beats out dragging silly rice cookers whilst proudly displaying said L plate. Good times

Gotta be honest, Its an honor to be the one of the first KBers you've met
If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.

I can still remember that first ride man with you and Training_Wheels! It's all your guys fault that i'm into group rides now.Gotta be honest, Its an honor to be the one of the first KBers you've met
On that note; I can't wait till your bike gets fixed and we can go riding again, I think I've improved quite a bit since the last time!
