Day 1 with with "GZZY"

[SlyFinkley]

Hi,
I went & picked up my GZ250 today, as pictured below. 1998 model with 9000 km on it, or 5592 miles. & I only had to ride 350 km or 217 miles to get it home. :2tup:
I know everyone on this site has more exprience with this that I do, so sorry for staing the obvious.


So, I thought I would share my little story of the day. :popcorn:
Lessons learned
Lesson 1: I learned how much a moth in the face hurts at 100km/h or 68 mph
Lesson 2: The retro goggles are not aerodynamic enough to be worn outside your helmet at 100km/h or 68 mph
Lesson 3: There are 71 Ghosts for a newbie on a trip like this. ( Ghost shifts, but was sure I was about to summon a 6th gear )
Lesson 4: The bike went great on the highway, & was great to ride all round.
Lesson 5: I should have bought one of these bikes years ago, I have never had so much fun. :2tup:

Here's where it all started, Hervey Bay Queensland Australia.


2 hours later I was in Buderim

Anyway, it was a great experience, & I am looking forward to many many miles with my new little bike.
