hello everyone

Post by WideloadII »

hi everyone,
just bought my Burgman 400 last week in white (fastest one), first time I've owned this type of vehicle, as previously owned sportsbikes, last was a GSX650F blue (fastest version), but sadly now rather than give up two wheels altogether due to an ageing set of rusty joints (biker for 32yrs), I took the plunge and bought myself the Burgman 400 as it offers wind protection and good return in mpg, so far chuffed to bits with it, takes some adjusting having no clutch, no gear shift and brake pedal, I'm managing and its proving a dream to ride. I may even get the chance to go to a meet sometime!!
here's hoping to many happy miles ahead. :D :D

I've got both a geared motorcycle and an automatic scooter

A few times I've pulled the left brake lever on the scooter thinking it's the motorcycle clutch lever - don't think I'll be able to ever stop doing it until I stop riding geared bikes
