Welcom to KB. Got out today, went thru Kopuriki, Rainbow Mountain & turned on to Tutukau rd then on to SH1. Lunch at the Bullring then thru Tokoroa to Bay Park to watch BOP kick ass. Back to town for steak & chips at the Office. 380kms, awsome ride & ticked all the boxes.

Did the Bay win??
Saw they were up by about 7-8 at one stage in the first half while leaving a Tavern earlier.

[ernie953]

a good win. 32-16

well we are hoping to be moving out of town to a rural property in the next 4 weeks so we will need to get another car to get to work in so might as well get me a bike before the wife has a change of heart.
Fingers crossed that i will have an aprilia rs250 0r at the very least a rgv250 in the shed soon. :headbang:

[trailblazer]

well since the mrs done her research on the net about the aprilia rs250 she soon put a stop on me getting 1 but she convinced me 2 go and get a new hyosung gt250s so it at all that bad. :yes:

[tate35]

there is plenty of great roads to ride round the ebop. Im definatly keen providing you guys dont mind riding with a complete novice and the pace isnt to hot.
