Hi All,
Chris here from Central Welly. Just signed up but have been on the road since march 09, and on a bike since I could get my leg over the neighbours JR80.
Owned mainly dirt bikes XR100 '94, XR200 '93, CRF230, CRF250 and used them on the farm/the odd trail ride. Sold the dirt bike when I moved to the city
and got an EX250J '08 for around the city and any other trips I wanted to do. I clocked up 26000km over the 3 years I had it doing trips from HB to Wellington,
Did a trip from Napier to Tauranga to Auckland to Wellington. It was a bit much though, even Tauranga to Wellington was a challenge on the 250. Had a hell of a
lot of fun on the baby Ninja though throwing it around and beating everyone else in the corners. :cool:
Recently have upgraded to a GSX-R600 K9 which is almost a bit much for me, have done the Wellington to HB and back a few times, and am regularly trying to relearn the
paekak hill on fine sundays. Still have a hell of a lot to learn in terms of riding and everything to do with bikes.
Am also wanting to be able to do all my own maintenance/the odd mod to the bike so am collecting tools and trying to be nice to mates with a garage and of course reading up
on easy things to do.
Welp, that dragged on a bit but thanks for reading.
Look forward to contributing where I can.
Thanks,
Chris.
