Let me tell you. I received a call today around 10:30am from the dealer asking me if they could deliver it today or tomorrow? I’m like, Ummmmm let me think about this for 1.10 of a second….hell yeah I want you to deliver it today. I only bought it last week(but I didn’t say that). So around 1:10pm the guy tells me he is 10minutes away…on the 110S…no lie(and these are some good lotto numbers, too!). The guy lowered the bike off of the hitch, walked it in my driveway, showed me a few gadgets on the bike, handed me the keys and helmet; which he had me try on in front of him to make sure my head wasn’t to big for the helmet. drove my bike to the back of the house, then left.
Finally, I get to salivate, stare, admire,and appreciate the look, touch, feel, and sound of my new toy. I never rode a motorcycle but it didn’t stop me from trying. Besides, the Hyosung GV250 is very well suited for newbs anyway. My experience with the manual transmission in automobiles kind of gave me a concept on how the “ease the clutch” thingy works. So, in a small area of the yard I hit first gear, then eeeeeeeeeeeeased off the clutch very lightly. Just as I thought, sort of. I rode down the drive way of my house, which is reasonably long. I didn’t flick any gears but I can proudly say I rode up and down my driveway today. The 1st gear is really peppy when twisting the throttle, don’t know what 2nd gear feels like yet.
Everyone who has seen the bike says that I made the right choice in picking my 1st bike. 1 guy thought it was a Harley(at a lightning glance). Another thought it was a 1000cc motorcycle. Why? I don’t know. But what I do know is I can’t wait until tomorrow morning to take the written exam so I can mozy on over to the big parking lot a few blocks over, and see what the 250 is made of. Of course I’m not going to ride the bike to the parking lot myself on the street. I’m going to have my brother in law ride it while I drive to the parking lot. Then I’ll see where my handling skills, and the bikes handling is.
MFS is definitely in the near future(Sept. 20 to be exact), but I received driving lessons before I got my license. So, it doesn’t hurt to have a little experience before the big class. No? Today is definitely one of the the best days I’ve had in a long time. I foresee many many miles in your future shiny new moto-friend.
