Intro from a Newbie (JHolmes)

[JHolmes]

Hi Everyone.
Jay is my name and I'm from Australia (don't shoot me for that) I'm coming over there soon for a holiday and would like to meet as many of you as I can (online) and hopefully make some friends.

I have the best time riding my GSXR 1000 around here in Victoria and enjoy having a pillion on the back every now and then.
Riding fast is my style and I cant help that, road raced from a young age and so looking forward very much to riding in NZ and maybe hooking up with people from this group.

JayH

[fatzx10r]

welcome jay, what part of the contry are you heading too?

[KrazyGixxerBoy]

Welcome mate! I'm not sure what part of the contry you're heading to but whereever you go, rest assured there will be a lot of like minded people ready to go cruising! :headbang: If you're coming to Wellington (as you probably should!) flick us a PM and we can catch up. There's a good group of KB'ers in Wellington that are always keen on a ride....

[JHolmes]

Thanks for the Welcome guy's. Cheers

My friend wants to go back to the Sth Island to do some hiking, mountains I think she said:eek5:

[JHolmes]

Sth Island is what we are going to do, early next year

[JHolmes]

Not a good idea to ask me to bring warm weather, everywhere I go it rains.

And no, fathers name is not sherlock lol.

[YellowDog]

Hi Jay and welcome.

You need to tell your friend to get the hiking out of her system nice and early in the year, as the South Island gets pretty cold as the year moves on.

Auckland has been 'uckin brill for a while now.

Kiwi riding is great. You'll love it, even if you pillion doesn't see sense.

I had a job to come over here and try and Educate these New Zealanders which wasn't successfull, and all because they can't understand me. I think it has something to do with my TWANG.
No seriously its a long long story.
Where in Victoria are you based?

[I'm motarded]

Do you still follow Aus Rules over there?

[crazyhorse]

Bikers are bikers, so you don't need to know them. We all have things in common, and its a fun way to meet new people. Do it all the time. It sounds like you won't be short of a few rides when you do get here and organised. :woohoo:

[Duke girl]

I sure do and at least my team Geelong is 2nd on the ladder. We get 1 game every weekend on TV over here which is usually shown on 1 of the Sky Sport channels.

I have a ? for you........Why do people who come from Geelong also support the Geelong Football Club ? I mean the people I know who have come from Geelong seem to all support it as well.

You see I'm from Melbourne but I support St Kilda,...........weird that lol

Its the most Loyal thing 1 can do Support and Barrick for your home team, and my Father use to play for Geelong and was a born and breed Geelong person. Go the Mighty Cats!!!!!!!!!

[onearmedbandit]

Welcome to the site. Are you bringing your bike over here or selling up and buying here?

[Sparky Bills]

Mate you would hate our roads... They are twisty with the odd fast sweeper and plenty of grip (could be agued).
Sounds horrible to me! :whistle:

You want to time it in with a trackday or 4 while your over here.

[Swoop]

Welcome Jay!


My friend wants to go back to the Sth Island to do some hiking, mountains I think she said:eek5:

Luckily the South Island has a couple of those...:rolleyes:
Horrible place. Full of bendy roads and bugger all traffic.
:ride:

[Bardman]

Weastcoast sth island is fantastic riding country, weather can be a bit dodgy tho.
Im up in nelson, we have some great roads in the area, the takaka hill is just magic, tight twisty corners.:woohoo:
The weather aint bad either, got some great tramping tracks too

[quickbuck]

As said... It is better to see the South Island (Main Land) by (motor)bike rather than foot....
Walking in the Alps is Really dangerous stuff!!!

Motorcycling is much safer.... and you are a little less likely to get a ride in a Helicopter (you really don't want to ride in them!)

As Sparky said too, try and get in on a Track Day. No Farmer Jones around the blind corner on his Massey Ferguson.....

Have a good trip over here.... Might see you around.
