Re: Greetings and Hallucinations!
 
Thanks for the welcomes everyone!

Alan - Good to know that it is something with the bike and not me. Did frighten me a bit, but I have noticed, even after only a few days, that I am not so scared of it anymore. I have proficient motorcycling on order from Amazon, should be here shortly. Both me and my wife just got in to riding, although she is in to scooters. She has a 125 Genuine Buddy.

This time of year is glorious. Nothing like a brisk ride to work to get you moving in the morning. Even better then coffee.

I rode a Peugeot and an American (POS) moped for a time in the late 70's but it had a top speed of about 40 (45 downhill.) Even though the GZ only goes about 20 mph faster, makes a big difference in the trouble you can get into. Plus there is the shifting and all...

Check your tire pressures, especially the front if the bike seems wiggly.

Welcome aboard, sounds like your already having plenty of fun on the bike. Personally I found ditching the high-vis vest and wearing a denim vest with a bunch of band patches on it sorted out most of the cage beasts, and lets face it, if your gonna be a biker, may as well look the part. In regards to the whole 50mph thing, give it a little time brother, cause if its brand spankin new its really still learning to be a bike. :roll:

That's a very astute statement.

Then again, you could get one of these and completely freak out the kids in the minivan in front of you.
