Hi Guys , im living in SA Cape town (eat your heart out) i have just applied for finance for a Gsx600r , Its my first real bike , i had others , but nothing write about .
This is the real thing , is there any pointers and tips ?

Don't crash.

Really , damn doesnt that come with the terrority .

OK so did you take some kind of training class, to prepare you for riding in traffic? Do you wear gear like helmets, jackets, etc? Are you going to make this a track bike? Do you plan on stunting on this bike? Are there lots on cool curvy, hilly roads around where you live? Can you get up on a Sunday morning, gas up and ride 50 miles of back country roads to a small diner for breakfast and coffee and another 60 to get home by a different route? Before the football game starts at noon? Can you beer-but a chicken? Do they have good beer in SA?

dude , im easy .I love bikes always have , the lifestyle though is not me .i love football and yes we have best beer in the world and the great thing is we drink it cold Check out places of interest in cape town , it takes me 10mins from home and im on one of the best drives in the world .yeah im up for anything with the bike but ill wait until i really get to know her until i start pushing her and doing the track and other things .

i just need to get a set of leathers and boots .any product compromise .?

I currently have an HJC helmet, the one with the built-in sun shield, a Joe Rocket textile armored jacket, some Diamond Gusset riding jeans, Converse tactical boots, and a pair of armored riding gloves.

Cool bru , thats some serious gear , how do you find the jacket .Ill give you names of the "poo poo" weve got here in SA and maybe you can advise .
Thanks man.How often you ride man ?
