Hi, etc.

Postby Stripe » Sat Oct 03, 2009 4:30 pm

Hi, figured I should do an intro post.

I'm From West-ish Sydney, I decided to get a bike since I don't have a car license, and cbf waiting a year to have my own transport. Initially, I figured I'd be a good happy friendly, never break the rules kind of rider... but you know how it goes... 1 bad peak hour and its all out the window.

I also thought I'd get a brand new Green Ninja 250 for my first bike, but fell in love with a red/white '88 GPX250 instead, probably due to not being able to test ride the ninja...
It has pretty low Ks, and has been extremely fun.
BTW: this is the GPX250 RII, grey import.
So here she is:

I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.

Nah, wasn't too keen to take it out on the weekend, only got the speedo fixed up on Sunday, then just dashed down Silverwater to test.

I'll have to hunt down this impostor... :<
