It's here!

I have to admit, I was feeling pretty nervous at picking up my new bike, new jacket, lid and gloves too! A colleague from work also showed up to witness my maiden voyage - the pressure was on not to screw this up :-)

Any ho, I saddled up and adjusted the mirrors; after letting the motor idle for a min. I slowly pulled out of the bike store without a hitch - phew!

59bhp of pure fun and freedom

It has probably been 15 years since I've owned a motorcycle, but I've always promised myself that one day I would make a road trip, and that time is coming - Jan 2010 the mother of all journeys, the infamous Ruta 40 Argentina.

I take delivery of the bike next week, I need to get some practice in!
