New rider on Auckland's North Shore

[jackboy]

Hey everyone,

New user here and completely new to biking. I'm a 27 year old computer programmer living on the Shore. My father was a motorcycle enthusiast when he was younger and helped me pick out my first bike - Yamaha Scorpio 225. Has been great for learning on and feel that I've been picking it up decently. Am into my fourth week of riding now.

I ride a motorcycle as my sole means of transport, it has nearly been a couple of years since I last owned a car and do not plan on buying one any time soon. My plans for the future just include buying a bigger, sexier bike when I graduate to my full license!

I was directed to KiwiBiker.co.nz from a friend of my sister who also rides. Look forward to attending some of the events in future and group rides. You'll see me around the forums and hope to have a chat with you all in my future as a member here.

Thanks for reading!
Jack

Dont worry about motorway speeds, im an L plater and did my first motorway run yesterday. I run at 80 and no worries apart from cars holding me up.

Hi Jack, read the first post in that link. It explains what we are about in a nutshell.
Three scorpios attended yesterday. The rides are designed around the new/learner rider.

Thanks for the welcome everyone - I have both of those threads bookmarked - the NASS one and the learner riders. Will definitely be keen to come along to the next learner ride! I checked out the thread a little late or would've been there yesterday.
