First bike! Hurrah!

[tate35]

Yay! I got myself a Suzuki FXR150 to start out on. I'm hooked, I absolutely love it!!
My bf gave me my first lesson on Sunday, which was great (thanks babe!!), and I picked it up surprisingly quickly.
After a while we took it down to the park to get a bit more space... And I binned it
Clever me, I locked up the front wheel, hit the kerb and supermanned onto the grass on the other side. The front fairing is cracked in several places and has a piece missing, and the front guard has big cracks in it. My poor baby, it didn't even last a whole day!!!
On the plus side, the damage is superficial and won't cost too much to repair, the lights didn't get broken, the frame and tyres are sweet, and I didn't get hurt.
Took it for a short ride today (minus half the fairings lol), it's still awesome!!

Congratulations on purchasing your first bike. I hear you when you say you "absolutely love it!!" I'm the same i got my first bike a rvg150 about a month ago now and if I'm not in the garage just gazing at her, I'm thinking on short rides (i.e) around the block, for 5 minutes down the road, I can do.

I do'nt think many days go by I'm not smiling about it
Happy Riding

Congrats.

However, it's neither a hooker nor a nigger, so why'd you name it 'Mandi'?

Yay for you for getting back on so quick after binning! Shame about the fairings but good to get the learning curves out of the way... still waiting on my first superman experience but fingers crossed its as painless as yours!

Happy riding

Hehe yeah I think I got off lightly *phew*
Fairings are off being welded, my bf has very kindly suggested that we sand them, prime them and spray them gloss black. Will look very cool, and hide the repairs hehe. And if it looks crap, I can get mates rates on a pro job
I'm the same Tate! I can't take it anywhere yet cos it has no lights (in the front fairing) or indicators so I have 200m to practice on. Getting boring!!! I can't wait till I can take it down the road to the park by myself
