First Big Bike

Post by ging500 »

Good evening

As some of you maybe aware i passed my bike test a few weeks ago and I am now the proud owner of my first big bike. However I do need to disappoint a few as I have not got a Firstorm however she does have the same essence.

Shes only done 10K on 2004 plate, overall a lovely condition bike. Shes only got a few minor scuffs/ marks. All we need now is this rain to stop and to get the V5 so I can get road tax.

There will be lots of sweet Vtwin music this summer in my household :D

Nice one Ging.

The Suzuki's are taking over the Asylum.

May I be the first to point out that it will be slower than your 125 as it's silver... :lol:

Have fun when you get out on it, take it easy to start with to get used to it...not that it will be that fast being silver...

See you around.

I had one of them for my first big bike. Handled really well and had a bit of a kick to it. I dropped the front end through the yokes about 8mm and it made a big difference to the turning on it. Almost like it was on rails. Hope you enjoy it :thumbup:

Don't worry mac, my 125 was silver as well so you can imagine how slow that was!! It just means you have to go round corners quicker to make up for the straight line deficit haha 8O
