Hi all!

Well I've been out since 9am this morning, only come home for a quick toilet break and to reply to forums then out again!

So far been out for about 5 and a half hours in total stright, and I'm loving it! eevrythings nicely coming together, gear changes are evry smooth, I've been riding in the rain for about 2 hours, staying pretty dry (except my gloves!) and am happy, the rain doesn't bother me, I just go slower and am more careful of people not seeing me! I've had 2 people pulling out on me, but I've been cautious and so it wasn't a problem, I had to emergency stop for the 2nd one so give him the finger, guess what car? that's right, a BMW (4x4 one aswell)

I am truly loving biking! I'm going to try and find if it's possible to buy and fit a centre stand, because I don't like leaving it on it's side stand all the time.

I don't knwo what else to say for now! I just have a massive grin on my face, I have had women checking me out in town (being a 22 year old and I'm athletic, seems to do the trick!) and have got 1 girls number, she didnt' even see my afce properly, I had my visor lifted and was talking to her on my bike, then she handed her number over! :-)

I'm still going to stay single though until the end of this year, 'play the field' some more!

I'm going through one of the best times in my life! was even funny meeting up with my friend in Costa Coffee, walking in in my leathers and getting looks from everyone and smiles!!

Hehehe

I'm gonna dry off a bit, 'tailor' my new bag I bought to make it waterproof (otherwise known as heavy duty bin liner...) and then I'm heading back out to meet sme friends for a drink (would never drink alcohol and ride though, soft drink for me!)

Thanks all for being so great, this forum has been great so far and I plan to now pay you back for all the advice you've given me by telling my stories and adventures on my bike!

Hope to meet some of you soon, would be great :-)

Andy

P.S. I've had my Honda Varadero 125 up to 75mph, I was suprised!
