 Posted: 22:43 - 19 Sep 2006 Post subject: I love riding!!! |
 |
|
Done 1400 miles now, and after getting rid of the first few days of nerves (cheers for the help with all of the questions ) i'm absolutely loving it!
Haven't gone a day without a ride...it doesn't hurt so much now...i'm not scared of riding in the dark...or the rain...pretty much got used to not being able to reach the floor...sussed out the slow control and i'm finally going quicker than walking pace
Everytime i get kitted up and walk out to the garage i get the tingly butterfly feeling in my tummy, and everytime i put her away at the end of the day i just sit and stare and listen to the clinks and ticking.
So thanks for all the advice Life is grand  |

Me too....but only had time for one 40 minute spin in 5 weeks . I love to have a reet good thrash then come home, take my lid off and listen to my ancient 2 stroke twin rattle and burble to itself at idle for a minute or two before i switch it off. Then it leaves a lovely warm oily smell in the outhouse for a good few hours after. For me turning the ignition off and putting on the stand is a bit gutting, especially with the weather being half decent. ____________________ 18:54:48 Rob Fzs: jews don't give away stuff for free

Riding in the dark? Night rides rock. Haven't had one for a while...
Riding in the rain. Got decent tyres? Shouldn't be a problem. Be safe, have fun.  |

Know exactly what you mean here Andrea, I always used to get like this and wonder if it were normal. Much better now, cant believe I've been riding for almost a year now, only regret I have is having not done it years ago!
As for riding in the dark, wont be long now as only just over a month away and the dreaded clock change takes place so riding home in the dark every night again, dont bother me mind. ____________________ Live on the Isle of Wight and ride a CBR600F |

Since passing my DAS almost a year ago I have only managed to notch up half that number of miles due to one reason or another, but the solitude and excitement of riding the bike is why I dont mind rding even when the weather was pants and the car would have been the better option.
Glad you finally got the bike that you wanted and are enjoying it as much as you'd have hoped  ____________________ Current : MSX 125 Past : CBR 900RR Monkeybike : c50 LAC : ZXR750 H2 : FZR600 : ZX7R P3 : YW100 : TRX850: Trophy 900 T309 : GSXR 600 L0: Monkeybike : XJ6S Whosthedaddy |

Somthing like that
Reliability and confidence in the bikes has been a major issue, dont really want to go too far just in case the bike conks out again . Hopefully the FZR will be more reliable once back in one piece  ____________________ Current : MSX 125 Past : CBR 900RR Monkeybike : c50 LAC : ZXR750 H2 : FZR600 : ZX7R P3 : YW100 : TRX850: Trophy 900 T309 : GSXR 600 L0: Monkeybike : XJ6S Whosthedaddy |
