Ride #2

Ok, so you can all tell I'm a weee bit excited about my newest hobby by the number of posts.

However, seeing that the majority of the weekend was spent devoted to uni work - the first essay that I've written in 11 years. Definately hurting my brain. Consuming vast amounts of chocolate at my parents place and sleep were the other highlights. Yawn.

Day 2 saw me getting more coordinated. Liz & her mate Tanya went for a walk and let me play for an hour or so. I even made it out on to the road at the end of the hour - down into the new estate. I found more gears. My top speed was about 40kph. Thankfully, Coughlan Road is a peaceful street on the weekend. Clutches, apparently, like to be used almost all the time & bike indicators don't turn themselves off. Grrr. The realisation that this is a motorbike and not a push bike, meaning it's damn heavy & I can't ride without my hands when I get tired.

I can't believe I actually am learning to ride a motorbike. I'm stoked.
