Hey guys!

My name's Brian, I'm 22 and living in Auckland.

I'm new here, and fairly new to the bike world. Been riding for a year or so, started on the old GN250 and now have myself a Hornet 250 (CB250F), which I ride every day rain or shine!
I'm getting more keen on long rides and have recently done the Kaipara coast highway (Wellsford to Auckland), and Auckland to Coromandel (AWESOME ride!).
Any other routes I should take around the north island appreciated! Keen to do some small group rides too :)

Nice to e-meet you all!

Welcome to KB dude, first rule, wheelies are neither big, or clever.

But quite clever if they are big:niceone:

Not yet anyway! I have managed to *accidentally* wheelie the GN a few times. Hot sure how I managed that, enormous amount of power I assume :laugh:

Oh nice!!! I'll try make it along sometime soon, I try to avoid riding in the wet as much as possible, as I dont have full rain proof gear at the moment!

Welcome dude.

If you can I highly recommend SASS, its all about the pootle around the back roads, and the carpark skill section is awesome.

no drama, and laid back. I go as often as I can but not often enough. :(

also a beer at the pub is always refreshing after. :innocent:
