Well done on getting your first bike . Glad to hear that you are getting all the right gear that goes with it. Take it easy, you don't have to prove anything to anybody. Riding is about the joy,freedom, challenge and fun. Glad you got somebody to give you some pointers as well as checking out this site. Once you have mastered the basics do a course like RRRS.
Take care and enjoy.

Another keen rider - go for it - you will enjoy yourself. I've been riding 11 years now - and love it.

This should proberly be in the gear section too, but i was just wondering if anyone knows any good brands of pants to get to wear over my jeans on the way to uni with armour in the knees that fit well? for about a size 10-12? in a budget=D???

First and foremost, welcome! And I'm quite jealous, FXRs are awesome little beasts. I'm still working towards my license lol.

Not sure if it's still going but Quasimoto was having a sale on ladies' pants, I got some and they are pretty good. They have armour in the knees and shins, made of leather so super protective if you fall. Not sure about waterproof-ness though...

and goes faster than my boyfriends old gn(i dont know that for sure, but i presume it does=)).

You're not making a presumtion, you're absolutely correct! Cos it's a fact!

Welcome and all the best with the license test - is that you're BHS or the scratchie test?

[davebullet]

Make sure you put good tyres on her - maximise the grip with the coming winter and rain. Take care, take it easy and have fun. Just remember to relax that grip on the handle bars and lean with the bike.

Just do the rounds of the bike shops ... wherever you find them... some have discounts on "old stock"...

Howdy, welcome to the fold !

P.N means palmy right ?

If you are looking for some sweet roads to go for a hoon on, paihiatua track is always fun (in the dry..), the gorge (look out for roadworks), the ballance road (between gorge and paihiatua track), saddle road etc..

Always good to see babes on bikes !
Keep safe.

Ive also had all the shit from family, friends etc saying "should i say goodbye now" or "your f**king stupid", but its my life and its something i have to do for myself. Although i understand the risks, im not assuming im immune to crashing either.

Yay another chick rider! Welcome! Hope the tests go well (if you havent already done them.) You were good, I havent told my father I ride a bike. Hes not a fan even though he used to ride himself, hes a too so Im sure he would try to find a way to stop me from riding. Hope you enjoy your time riding and here on KB.

Always good to see babes on bikes !

I find the attitude towards chick riders entertaining, its great! Have fun with it lol.

[BiK3RChiK]

chick riders! Welcome and keep the rubber side down... and you'll continue having fun

You laugh ? Is it because I said babes ? Please don't mistake my sentiments as a bumbling pick up attempt.. It has been written on this site (by said babes) that all woman in their gear are beautiful and I tend to agree...
