Further to my last entry

Posted 8-Sep-09 at 10:27 AM by SlowStu
I stopped at the shop on the way home last night, went inside and bought what it was I needed to buy and walked back out.....10 mins I was gone. As I walked around the corner to where the bike was parked I looked up and saw it there under the street light and I found myself smiling as I walked towards it.

I've had the Triumph for 12 months now, commute on it daily, take it for weekend blasts and after all that it still brings a smile to my face whenever I look at it.

Repairs to Bike

Posted 30-Aug-09 at 7:29 AM by doit (Doit's Blog)
Repairs to the bike are almost complete after the last off at Broadfrod. Dave [Fatal] has done a great job of rebuliding some bits that got smashed away.

The tank will remain as is until the end of the season and then we will do a complete respray of the bike and fix some smaller cracks in the race fairings.

No more doubts

Posted 22-May-09 at 8:04 AM by SlowStu
Pulled into the carpark today as I do everyday and went to turn into my usual parking spot and was upset to discover another bike was in my spot. As it happens this bike was a brand spanking new Ducati Monster, it was so new in fact I think whoever owns it has just picked it up from the dealer down the road and ridden it straight here. So I park the Trump next to it and take the opportunity to have a look at the two bikes side by side.

I almost bought the Monster instead of the Triple...

Riding, so far

Posted 25-Apr-09 at 6:40 PM by Tigress
Ive had my bike a whole 10 days and so far have stalled 50 times lol... I have been riding at 80kphs, so just cruising around the back roads, but town scares me a bit, too many morons up here in the country.
Husband is working in Adelaide for three months so I am glad I got my licence and bike or I would be going crazy waiting for him to take me out. He called Vicroads for me and confirmed I can do 100kph, not sure I am too keen on going that fast all the time yet, but I have tried...

I got a ride at last!!

Posted 17-Apr-09 at 7:30 PM by Tigress
Updated 18-Apr-09 at 9:02 PM by Tigress (photos didnt work)
I bought myself a motorcycle this week.
I never thought I would ride a motorbike ever, let alone get my licence and a bike all in two weeks
Anyways, I have settled for a Honda CBF250, 2007 model, and am quite happy with it so far.
So far I have stalled it a dozen times, forgotten to turn off indicators a couple of times ... but not had any close calls with cars etc YET.... and not planning to.

Motorcycle Licence

Posted 1-Apr-09 at 7:25 PM by Tigress
Updated 1-Apr-09 at 7:27 PM by Tigress (forgot the important part)
Well I finally bit the bullet and did the Learner Permit Test today.... and passed!!
I only had one answer wrong on multiple choice test... and I put my foot down once doing a right hand turn, and left my indicator on a bit too long.. but hey, i didnt fall off!!
I only learned to ride our old Honda 250XL about three weeks ago, and rode around in our backyard for 40 mins last night. So considering I have only had maybe 3 hours riding practice, I think I have done rather well ...
