My "new" interest...
« on: October 26, 2013, 09:49:54 AM »
Thought I'd share my"new" pride and joy, I've just got my first Motorcycle.
Yes I'm a little late at 39 but after 6½ years in my current job relying on my girlfriend, lifts with colleges and Taxi's, I decided enough was enough. It's only a 125cc but I'm loving it.

On August 29th I picked up my 2010 Yamaha YZF-R125. Here it is in the shop.




Me being me, I couldn't just leave it stock and so begun the modding. First came a genuine Yamaha tank protector and Smoto tail tidy or fender eliminator.











Thursday, I cleaned the chain and then the rest of the bike. And finished by applying red Rim tape.




Hope you like my"new" baby.

Thanks for the comments guys, absolutely love riding.

Yes Matt I have seen the HUD Helmets. Saw an Android powered one recently too, looks great!

CBers, Blackbird is nice. 1000cc Tourer, right? I'm a SuperSports or Naked/Street fan myself. Got plans for my next bike already, once I've passed my test anyway...

Late at 39! You're a youngster. My first motorcycle was when I was 58. 9 years on and i'm riding a Yam Fazer 600 and loving it.
