My first Terra 125 ride....

Who said that it is the most comfortable bike? and they say vibrations is nothing?? they all lied!! .. maybe for a short distance ride...yea... but long distance ride its a no! ... i got sore bum ... tingling sensations on my hands ... and i think i need an engine crash bar so i can put my foot forward so it wont be tiring..... BUT BUT BUT... wait... i'm not condemning the Terra just yet because the FUN FACTOR is AWETHOME! i meant AWESOME!! i feel like i'm Ewan Mcgregor... now i just need those panniers!

Actually its not all that bad.... i think when you ride long distance on any bike, i'm sure u'll get sore bum... but i'm just unhappy with the tingling sensations i felt on my hands... but the bike really has no problems with vibrations... actually i cant even feel vibrations on the grips but yet after some hours riding non stop i get this tingling sensations like buzzing feel although its not really that bad though.... but its there...gahh... maybe i should install that crampbuster i saw on ebay.... or maybe i should loosen my grips a bit like wat Keith Code told us....

i love the bike.... its light.... i think its super light..... lighter than my Rambla scooter me thinks.... but i've yet to get used to the 6 speed bike and riding not more that 80kmh and that is a pain in the ass.... literally! was worried of over-revving the bike... but so far compare to the Vmax, i'm loving the Terra.... fun vs inconvenience.... sorry vmax.... i think ur just too heavy for me!

I've read somewhere in a Derbi forum that these Terra's have fuel sensor light blinks intermittently although the tank is still full.... and my first ride is just that.... the fuel light light up although i still got fuel... but i didn't panic because i've read it before so i just continue... talking about reliability .... i'm worried with the Terra though for its reliability issues.... but so far so good....

went for a solo ride

i wanna run-in the engine quick so i decided to do a solo trip, riding on countryside roads, covering 80km, its hot weather nowadays... i can see haze... but i did not stop to take pictures... just trying to get comfortable with the bike.. i dont have to slow down passing road hump.......  it was fun fun fun....
