7 months later..

.. and I've revisited the blog page for my biking experiences.

Well lots has changed since my last post. I am now on R-date's. I have my '08 ninja 250. And more importantly I have been enjoying riding for the past 7 months. Perhaps that is the reason why the blog updates ceased. I had always wondered why they were called R-dates, but when I got the license in the mail it was more simple than I had realised. R-dates are just what is stated. The R class restricted until a certain date. Mine is R-03/12/09. So looks like another 9 months before I can get my open license!

In any case, since obtaining my pride and joy, I've managed to drop the bike twice while maneuvering it out of the garage. First time there was not a scratch on it. Second time it was quite bad, as it came down with quite some force. Sadly the baby ninja has some serious battle scars.

The modifications which I had previously wanted for the bike are still on hold, as I have just returned from the Asia trip with the guys, and need some cash first. With the bike creeping up on 6000 K's and the second service, I've only managed to put some white rim stripes on, and installed the fender eliminator kit myself. I did end up getting the Competition Werkes kit, and must say it does fit quite nicely. No more ugly tail!

I'll upload a few pics with the next update.
