KIWI RIDER 09 2018 VOL.2 | Page 61

It’s something I could definitely see me getting addicted to, there’s nothing quite like it EXHILARATING The whole experience was so exhilarating. All I’ve been itching to do since is just gear up and hop on a bike again. It’s something I could definitely see me getting addicted to, there’s nothing quite like it. It was satisfying to feel totally physically and mentally challenged. I fell off, stalled several times but I didn’t crash, or scrape up my leg, so I think in the end I redeemed my epic scooter fail and can say to myself that I can, and I did, ride a motorbike. There’s a way to go, and still lots to learn, but I’m one step closer to fulfilling my teenage fantasy (leaning more towards a Honda now though, like my dad) and continuing the line of motorbike riding in the family. THANKS Big thanks to Ben, the editor, for being an awesome mentor. I was in good hands. Thanks to Vege for organising the day, for the constant encouragement from the KR team. Cheers to Northern Accessories for hooking me up with some sweet gear and Honda for such a great bike and trusting me not to destroy it in the process. KIWI RIDER 61
