Hi,

I've posted a ride via fb (limited public access) and thought I'd add the details here too...

WHEN: Sunday, 6th March 9.30am - 1pm
WHAT: Girls ONLY ride
LEVEL: Beginner/Intermediate/Advanced

After the success of the last girls ride I helped arrange in November 2010, I thought it was high time we did it again. So at this stage all I've selceted is a date, which incidentally falls the wknd after WSBK & the wknd b4 the Labour Day long wknd in Melbourne.

The first half of the day will be a beginner style ride, so for those who have been riding a little while and potentially would like to meet some other women, with a friendly route to match this level. Potentially & dependant on experience we get on the day we could do some mentoring, i just need ppl put up their hands & offer :nod: The ride is also aimed at riders who have or plan on moving to bigger bikes and who are coming off restrictions. Speed limits will be followed to a destination yet to be decided, which will bring us to the ever important lunch/debrief/discussion!

The second part of the day will be a more vigorous, longer, moutain ride for those looking to play harder - very much intermediate/experienced riders only & most prob some boys will join us.

So spread the word and let me know if ur interested. I'll keep this site posted as decisions and routes are made - hope to c u soon!!

Cheers,
Ceska (aka Frances) :curtsey:

Hi Mandi,

Yes ur on the other side of melb to me, but indeed plenty of good mountains to share between us!

Now I c u have the brand new st3 with the new shape lights.... I must say I'm a big fan of the original street fighter lights, yet what I can tell u is that u have a damn beautful machine there...!!!

There is another girls ride happening on Saturday the 7th of May - no doubt u have a facebook account so look up the group "Victorian women motorcycle riders" as some info is in there. I'm not leading this one, yet I'll join it in Healesville - may c u sooner than u think :curtsey:

Cheers,
Frances

I have duly requested to join the Facebook group!

Yeah I honestly wasn't sure about the new winky lights. I really liked the old bugeyes. And I'm still not convinced about the new tank decal either. The old Triumph logo was so iconic.

But yeah, she's a gorgeous bit of work and when I'm not a nervous wreck thinking I'm going to throw her down the road every 5 seconds, I will sure join in on some rides

Take ur time, I know I did!
Re the look, I would personally change the lights & the logo back to how it was - the timeless look!! Seriously, I don't understand what is going on with Triumph - why would they change a very successful brand logo? Its their look, who they r, I think they're playing with fire.... They've been to the depths of unpopular and if they continue this way that's go back there again.

Anyhow, enjoy ur little baby, gr8 bike & yes they def require a different style to ride them, quite unlike a sports bike... Finally after 18 months, 5 track days, 4 tours, countless day trips, 28,000ks & rider training, I'm looking & feeling brilliant on mine - each day is different, so accept that we all hav gd & bad days & u'll b fine - enjoy the fresh air & sunshine :thumbup:

Yup every time I take her out, I feel a little bit more comfortable and not quite so nervous about hurting her.

Already done a refresher course for returning riders which helped and plan on doing some more. Eventually I'll do a superbike school when I'm fit enough.

Getting her lowered slightly as I'm too tippytoes for my liking, which doesn't do much for confidence!
