Bike riding 101

Tania passed her learner's licence last week and has been practicing her riding skill since October. She's used to mountain biking and loves the sport, but once she felt the thrill of moving forward at speed without having to pedal, there was no turning back! She practiced on an old Yamaha MR50 two-stroke, borrowed from 2-Stroke Dan! What a great little machine to learn on. You can go full-throttle and corner at any speed without fear of being thrown into the bushes. Tania had great fun and quickly got used to the clutch and gear-changes. Thanks for lending us the yellow bike Danie!

Next step was getting used to riding in traffic. We took delivery of our bikes (which will feature in a post soon...) last Friday. Over the weekend we did a short ride around Paarl mountain to get the hang of it. I registered the bikes yesterday, and this morning Tania rode her silver Enzo to work in Franschhoek. We need to rack up the km's before the first service on Friday the 18th.

Watch this blog for a road test of the Enzo's...

Until then, a few sneak pics:
