Sometimes people miss you by mistake - shit happens - best thing is to try and watch everyone and try and make sure they have seen you.
My bike has not been ridden for a while - gotta take it for a spin...

Bloody cagers!

That's a shame mate, sounds like a nasty crash. Any plans to get back on a bike soon?

Nice ride, especially for a first bike. Once you can upgrade to bigger, you'll really notice the performance and handling benefits of larger sport bikes!
Enjoy it mate!

Thanks mate. I haven't had a chance to redline it as I'm running it in properly but there's plenty of usable torque in its meaty power band. It would have nothing on the bigger bikes but it's pretty decent when compared similar sized bikes.
I've already got my eyes on the new Ninja 636 after my year is up but don't want to get too ahead of myself just yet. I'm really enjoying the 300 as my first bike to learn on.
