Juggling in this stuff would be really hard, its really puffy so you have almost no sense of touch in the gloves, and the helmet blocks alot of your vision.

hahah....nice gear.....And yes I know that about "Quick shift". You don't use the clutch with this....and you Shift with your thumb. Don't think I already thought off that...rusty (Your rear brake is on your left hand...as a handbrake) Next year I will be back on the streets BTW Sharps take that challange.....borrow some MC gear and try to juggl..... just go down to the nearest MC shop and try something out

It takes a special kind of person to manage to drop a bike within one hour of owning it, while not even moving. I didn't damage it thank god, I did bend the shifter, but I just pulled it back with a bit of elbow grease.
Its alot less stable than I expected. and bloody heavy too, I could barely lift it, I think its dry weight is 130 kilos, and it was full to the brim, so about 160.
Its freaking loud too, I attracted the attention of some rather lovely girls when I was revving it in neutral, and got a wave! I guess I just look really sexy in a helmet.
I haven't actually been riding on it yet, I went from my driveway into my garage and that's it. because I have no idea how to turn such a heavy beast yet, and because Sundays attract alot of cars because on my small little road there is a jeti where people can fish.
I still feel a little nervous just taking the kick stand down to be honest, droping this thing is not fun.
I now know why my father thinks I'm buying a death machine.

The government around here has screwed me and every other learner biker over. the people who teach you how to ride in my area are now legally only allowed to test you, not teach you.
So I had to own the bike first and practice on that, They wont even let me submit my road code theory until I have the handling test done..
Im getting better on the bike, the battery was playing up this morning and it took me about an hour to start it, but once its running the battery gets charged up. now it starts every time.
The only time I come close to dropping the thing is when I kick start it, sometimes I kick to hard and push the bike over, luckily now I'm used to It I can pull it back over quickly enough.
My arms feel like I've been overdoing a workout.
I'm going to Auckland sometime this month to do advanced handling, which means I have to drive 6 hours to do a 3 hour course.. even at 15 the government is making my life worse.
