Naked pointy I hate the faired ones normally. They just look odd!
So you got the bike before all the kit and training?! Nice That's one way to do it!

Talking Re: My First Bike

Naked is how nature intended it!
B...e...a...u...tiful.

My wife wanted me to buy new (who would argue) but I had my eye on a lovely naked curvy as my first 'proper' bike.

yeah - cbt a couple of months ago as the place i called on the Friday said we have a spot Saturday morning so i thought why not - ive worked pretty much every weekend since... i spend most Sundays either in Fowlers, Bristol or George Whites, Swindon browsing kit... so yes ive done it all a bit backwards but the end result will be the same...

Ive just finished reading the "always wear your fkin leathers" thread, from start to finish.... so this Sunday ill be going to try on a forcefield back protector.. that thread has made me wonder if all of this is a good idea at all, but i feel commited to be in the biker crowd despite the risks.... my family do not share the same ambitions.

If you think about the negatives too much you wont want to ride, keep it in the back of your mind to help stay safe, but dont let it stop you enjoying biking as it is so much fun.

If we listened to all the horror stories we wouldnt get out of bed, but then theres loads about beds, so you wouldnt get in one either

Thanks its a powerbronze bellypan and a pyramid plastics seat cowl (the best looking cowl by far IMO)

Good luck with everything, don't let doubters put you off as they can't appreciate how much fun riding a bike is. It becomes less of a hobby, more a way of life

Oh and I had the cowl, screen, exhaust and numberboards ready for my ninja before I even took delivery so you're not the only 1!
