Hello and I'm ready to ride

#1 Unread post by kerwink040 »

Hi all,
My name is Kerwin. I've finally entered the motorcycle/ motorcycling world despite all the negative fears and comments from friends and acquaintances.
Thanks to you guys here I have taken the MSF course, completed all my DMV paperwork, is geared up from head to toe and just recently purchased a bike- a 2009 Honda DN-01(Iron-Man Red). Her name is Saphira (Eragon's dragon-she always took care of him and he her). :-)

I just posted a picture of her in the photo gallery as well. I love this forum, their is so much to learn and do.
Thanks for having it.

:welcome2: Kerwin to the TMW community!

Wow, you have a really rare bike there, the Honda DN-01. You'll have to post a review up here about it as I've never rode one myself and there are not many on the road.

I want to touch your bike... :)

Really, I coveted one of those when the concept pictures were released. I may be one of the few out there that thinks it's a beautiful bike.

I love my DN-01. I'm a techno-geek (into sci-fi, high-tech equipment and gadgets) and I believe the DN-01 was made for me. The moment I heard such a motorcycle existed I did research, tons and tons of research and it all led me to seek out one. The instant I sat on it and raised the kickstand I knew I had to have it. I love the way it feels in my hands, the way my legs fit smoothly in the grooves of the tank comfortably, I love how I just have to think to lean in one direction or the other and it does it without hesitation. Curves/ corners are a breeze, it flows through the turns like if it were on ice skates gliding over the ice.

A week after I purchased her I had her equipped with a lo-jack so that know one but me could ride her/ take her away without my permission.

Looking to join a motorcycle group and do some riding with other people.
