Whoa that sounds like a fancy helmetHJC sounds right, I know it's 3 letters and not AGV or KKsomething.
It looks better than in that pic I reckon, but maybe I'm already biased
I'm even lighter than you so I'm all set.
So is your's black? Once I'm comfortable on the road I'd want to get out on a cruise, cause that's what they're for
I've just got news of a party I have to be at tomorrow night.. it may effect whether I can get around to sorting bike stuff out on Saturday though
Blood - just give it!
Methinks we'll have to catch up so's your bike can meet my bike...
Plenty of us riders in Papakura happy to hook up for rides...

I'm on the North Shore, so it'll be a while before I feel confident enough to get on the motorway, practice practice..

Id be keen. Maybe my bike will need a sign saying "when i grow up i want to be like that bike" with an arrow pointing to your 700 lol.
Give me a buzz though, ill be keen any time that im not busy, would be good to get a few pointers too

hey guys
been riding a little 125 suzuki scooter for 6 months and finally decided to upgrade to a 250cc bike.. took a vl 250 from coleman's suzuki for a test ride today around the city and loved it!
Got back and put down a deposit for a grey one with the next shipment they are getting in next week..
just need to wait another week or so until i get my annual bonus from work and it will be MINE!
Love this bike, even for a fatass like me - about 135kg - i was STRUGGLING to keep it under 60km in 3rd gear haha, cant wait to take one for a real ride!

Ok I got my learners and all my gear today and they are going to drop the bike off after work on Monday, so I can go for my first ride soon too.
Newby, have you been out on your's again?

Welcome to what will be a lifetime obsession. I remember fondly discovering what a buzz riding is and its never worn off.

ENJOY,it's great isn't.Got my bike delivered today! Suzuki intruder 250vl, and all my gears, except for my pants which should be in by tomorrow! I couldnt resist though and had to take it for a spin, went up some hills, down some other hills, around some corners, and opened her up on some straights, and a stint on the motorway aswell!
Think im addicted already, im gutted its dark and am going to be racing home from work tomorrow to be able to go riding!
Road riding isnt as scary as i thought either!

IT, ive ridden mine every day since it arrived on thursday lol. Went for a night ride last night down to pukekohe, loved it!
Then went for the ride with EAR out to Kaiaua today which was great. They certainly arnt speed machines though, i found myself a couple of times with the throttle right open and wishing it had a little more ooomph, but never mind!
By the way, mine is the black one!
You will love it ehgriez, now i have hopped on a bike, i dont know how i have been without it all this time!

Yeah that's right, for the basics anyway. Balance is simple, and I found corners easy if I had a corner to follow (Found it hard to judge an imaginary corner in a carpark) I managed to lock the front wheel up twice on my riding test (for the emergency stop) and I really hope I don't experience that on the road! The tyres had only done 30km though so they were probably still a bit waxy. I'll post in here if I manage to get out on it after having it delivered tomorrow
