SideCar Bob and Billy, because I had an epiphany they believed in, and gave me a hand up!
I can't remember whether it was before or after I joined KB! Met a few more KB'ers - all good b$stards!
I've still yet to actually meet a whole load more!
But it was Crashe that found me, and suggested I join KB! And it turned out I knew Cajun (only just connected the dots!) from tech!
vifferman
3rd July 2009, 09:19
I don't remember - it's been over 5 years since I signed up. I suspect it may have been jrandom, as he's the first I remember, but I could've met a whole swag of people on a group ride. (If so, I would've instantly forgotten them - although I'm good with faces, I'm hopeless with first introductions.)
I do know who introduced me to KB - that would be Dangerous. We both owned VTR1000s at the time, and he saw me post on an overseas Firestorm or Superhawk forum, and pointed me at Kiwi Biker.

Well, lets see. I guess that would be wari. I was talking to him at work while he was browsing some overseas biker site and he said I should start a NZ biker site. I wasn't really interested, so I told him I would setup the software on my server and he could run it. So after setting it up and creating his login, I told him to go for it. After a couple of days of him not doing anything, I thought fuck it, I may as well do it myself.

Our young fella Zac played drums in a church band. He become friends with another young fella there whose scruffy, bearded larrikin of a father would drop him off on a GSXR750. Eventually the scruffy larrikin dangled the keys to the liquor cabinet (well, the bike) in front of me. So I tried it on for size, liked it and bought an 1100. Then the old fart kept pushing me to 'check out this fabulous website'. After much prompting, I did.
The scruffy, bearded larrikin? Gixxer4ever.
His young fella? Speights_Bud.

Mack The Knife. My very own personal shopper.
He helped me to choose gear when I was still a pillion - and he gave me excellent advice that has served me well. He was so kind and patient! Introduced me to all the bike gear shops in Barry's Point Road, then to Kerrie at MSW, and tagged along carrying my parcels for me. :sweatdrop
I'm eternally grateful that Mack was the first KBer I met. I was a little nervous setting out to meet a complete stranger, but as strange bikers go he was a great choice! :yes:

There was a "Rusty Tappets" annual gathering being held at the local Otematata hotel over labour weekend 2005.
I had read on KB that some of KB members were going so I went over to see if I could find any of them there.
There were two other functions on there as well and lots of people at the pub.
I tried asking people (all strangers to me) if they were Kiwi Bikers and got some very peculiar looks!
What's their name, they would ask?
I don't know!
What do they look like?
I don't know!
Where do they come from?
I don't know!
I can't fucking help you mate....! :bye:
I was about to give up, because people were pointing and muttering among themselves and shaking their heads. :no: :wacko:
The guy standing next to the big gruff Harley lookalike that I was asking turned around and said , hey I am one of them!
It was, Skyryder and he was the first KB'r that I ever met and we have been friends ever since. :niceone:
Since then I haven't met a KB'r that I didn't want to know or mix with. :woohoo:
Was MyGSXF who enlightened me to the world of KB :scooter:
i think it was blondini ( my sis) introduced me to frosty, spank, crashe, at paeroa a couple years ago, then i was admiring a 999 duke about 100mtrs from home and it was DHs,then maha and mom on big group ride to the oko pub and met too many to remember must have been at least 100 bikes from all over the show :woohoo:

LOL this was exactly my experience recently at the Red Bull City Scramble. Cave Weta said he was going to be competing and would be under the orange marquee. So I went to the orange marquee looking for him.
Me: "I'm... erm... looking for someone who's competing here today."
Them: "What's his name?"
Me: "Cave Weta"
Them: "What?!"
Me: "Well... I don't know his real name..."
Them: "What does he look like?"
Me: "I don't know."
Them: "What's he riding?"
Me: "I don't know. Oh, never mind!" :o
Never did find him!

The pic below was taken on the Kawhia run. Does anyone remember the KB guy on the Monster with all the carbon bling on it? I'm pretty sure he was a French Canadian. The only thing I can remember is the horrendous rattle from the dry clutch!

I don't know!....I don't know!....I don't know!
Since then I haven't met a KB'r that I didn't want to know or mix with. :woohoo:
I doubt there would be many of us that have not experienced the same, it is really funny to go and ask about someonw to be met with questions you cant answer eh? Love it! I have actually come across a couple I could take or leave, but by far and away the majority fall into the happy to mix with category. Mind you, I have not actually "met" you.

An asian gentleman and his partner, we met in Turangi and got talking, he was from Auckland and riding a grey/silver Honda CBR1100XX Blackbird. I remember he said he was into endurance rides but unfortunately off the top of my head I can't quite remember his handle on KB. Really glad I met him though coz i've since met and made friends with some really decent people via KB.

Cowboyz, Meanie, and Bonez. Bloody good ride that was too. Quickly followed by Chanceyy, Sugilite, Dogsnbikes and U4ea. And then lot's of other amazing characters.

Probably Old Rider back in the days when we both worked for ECNZ in Twizel (if I'm correct about his real identity).
Then Jantar when I moved to Cromwell, not that any of us were KiwiBikers then. This was during my 12 years between bikes.
I went to a Track day with Ralph, three others that were there turned out later to be Cajun, MotoGirl and macmotortrimmer. Not that Ralph or I were KiwiBikers then either. Nor was KiwiBiker discussed that I can recall, they were just some of the other riders at the track day (Taupo just as the new track was being constructed)
First one I met knowing we were both KiwiBikers was Shafty.

The first KBer I met in person was Uncle B (Bruce) at the top of the 'taka's. I'd had the RF about a week and was still getting to grips with it. He saw that, as I pulled into the carpark at the top and came over to say hello. I talked to him coz he wasn't a holier than though "I'm gonna tell you how you should ride kinda guy" I talked to him coz he was genuine and helpful. A good man taken too soon.
Also met Darkman, Skelstar and Flame that day...
I'm waiting for you girls to get up to speed!! I felt guilty!!

Riiiiight.
Giving it some thought, jimbo would be the first KBer I met after joining. Though it had mothing to do with KB. Deano and some others were shortly after.

Hmmm I am thinking back over 5 years (I didn't sign up straight away - it looked pretty dodgy ... :crazy: so I just lurked for quite a bit trying to pick up hints and tips).
Anyway I finally got a 250 and ended up at TSS when they first opened, attending a basic motorcycle maintenance session and met (amongst quite a few others) Lynda Blair.
At the time, I didn't realise that she and others were on KB, but I later registered and then met Jim Deuce, ET AL, Bugsplat, Hitcher, Kickaha, Miss Piggy to name a few. Great rides - great company - no bullshit... (well just a wee bit and that was mainly me!:woohoo:)

Fuck Knows it was 6 years ago and my memory is shit, but I think it was Coldkiwi Saslex and Motoracer on a loop ride.

MAny, many years ago I was going on a ride with some other emergency service people that Toot Toot (VtwinGlen as he was known back then) was supposed to be going on, but he decided to ditch us in favour of a KB ride. He introduced me to a Draco and Firefight and I think I signed up to KB when I returned from my ride that day. First KB ride I went on was Coro Loop back in Nov 2004. Met a shit load of cool folks who are very special friends to me. And of course I met the man of my dreams (hmm that might be taking it a bit far) and my life changed forever.
What?
6th July 2009, 11:57
Ferk - six and a half years ago I rolled in here. The forty-fifth to do so after Spank and Wari kicked it off.
The first KB'er I knowingly met might have been AJ Turbo, or it might have been Firefight, either with Cajun or Andrew. Or it might have been Spank.
What's more important is that I have met quite a few bloody good buggers that I may not have done otherwise.

Jeezzzzz, um rusty memory time......I'm pretty sure I remember Big Dog, Cold Kiwi and some others, I think at the 'Torque' movie that I think Andrew set up...but I could be wrong. (and I'm guessing I can't count Draco)

I joined KB back in 2004, when there was not quite 1500 members. PaulinNZ put up a post about a BBQ at his place. Since it was near where I lived I turned up and met a whole bunch of KBers at once.

Was either 86GSXR and crew at South Rd servo in Hawera on the way to Wangamomona loop ride,or Boob Johnson after a trademe deal for his boots,either way never fully recovered(for the good).
And if not those guys was definately Zukin and his family doing ride for life,took part in Opunake-Hawera leg,very small ride(for me) but bloody great company,RIP.
Great site and contrary to most opinions most KBers seem to enjoy the site and people on here.
