I just got my first bike or my mum paid for it today.
Its a Kymco super 9.
I know its only 50cc but can't wait to get on the road.

Nice one, Evie.
Don't worry, March will be here sooner than you think:D
Feels like it is ages away!! Christmas first though.

Woo hoo for ya !! Santa may bring you lots of things to go with it LOL
She forgot to mention the jacket that we (I mean, I) bought too! Just got boots to go.
March may hopefully bring nicer weather for you to ride in as well.
The first bike will be etched into your memory forever, enjoy!

Shonadoll, did you live with your mum until you were 37 then? ;):smt104
My mum wouldn't let me get a bike after I had a moped, but I got one anyway. I'm still her son, she still loves me.

I had my fizzy 2 months before i was 16. I must have spent tens of hours just looking at it and longing. I know how you feel, but the wait is worth it.

nice one evie, top mum you got there, it'll fly by!!
A few lads at school are a bit jealous about me getting a bike. I am lucky about my mum letting me have a bike.
Thanks mum!

Naw, went and spent all my spare cash on kids. My mum's dead now she'd have not been happy even now.;)
My Mum isn't happy that I ride, and well when Evie told her she'd now got a bike there was an icy silence.
But as I alway say, 'The fearless die young, but the causious die without living'.
You've got to get out there and do what you enjoy.
Congrats Evie, you're pretty lucky to have a mum that rides one of the coolest bikes and buys you your own!
My mum was convinced I'd kill myself and my dad outright forbid me to get one. 14 months down the line, I've proven mum wrong (ahem) and dad's had his bike for a year :p

Go for it! get kitted up, and get out there.
Remember to keep it washed, and keep it lubricated. Use good oil, WD40 things like lever pivots and stuff and wash it down if its mucky.
Safe riding! next birthday - restricted SV for you. If you get a curvy, then I might even be able to send on the restrictor washers if i can find them. For free - let that be an incentive for you :cheers: (thats if i can find them!)

"80 days till getting onto the road!! Whoop whoop!!!"
I doubt I could wait 80 days before getting on my new bike, you've got more patience than me...

Cheers Alpinestar! I think she may have my new DRZ if she takes her test.
It's Mr Lou's job to keep it washed, ha ha! Not really, but he will make sure she keeps it clean.

Yes, Mr Lou and I have pondered the same thing, we've used this shop for years, and there aren't many around our area, but I am reconsidering to bring it home early.
