    Newguy from South Africa

    Hi, ive been riding for about three years now. My first bike was a 1981 R80G/s, what a great bike. had it for about 2 years and then needed something to play with. Sold the R80 and bought a DRZ400, what a great bike

    My sister has been living in Auckland since 1999. I'm coming over to visit her some time towards November and will of course be looking to do some riding, preferably on the dusty stuff.

    Some pics,
    Here's me on my R80 with Ewan and Charlie when they did Long way down.


    And my DRZ


    Newguy out

    Thats the RVAqualine 28 Liter from Australia. I needed the range to do a trip from Capetown to Namibia. Here's a little ride report of my trip if youd like to read. http://www.wilddog.za.net/forum/index.php?topic=13808.0
    Hopefully I will be doing some NZ ride reports soon...

    Hey Newguy. Welcome to KB. You will find lots of your fellow countrymen in NZ. This may also help with the language barrier

    Good luck.

    Yeah there's a few of us (I'm from Zim actually but they're close enough and I spent a lot of time there anyway).
    I wonder how many fellas here are from the great continent of Africa...

    Oh and also, welcome!

    Welcome Newguy, from Durbs myself about 8 years ago now...

    Haven't picked up a dirt bike for many years now, used to do the local MX seen in Natal in the late 80's (I am getting OLD!)

    From what I can tell seams to be a fair crowd of bikes out west Auckland way from Piha up to 90 mile beach, but I am sure the locals on the forum will fill you in.

    Hope you have a great time.

    Who would have thought we know some of the same people :-). I met Charlie when he was in Auckland a few years ago.

    Nice R80GS you had there and that DRZ looks like it could go places....
