So about 10 weeks ago I got a scooter... loved the idea of riding and hated the sloooooooowness of the little scooter so quickly got my license and a bigger bike and now I'm away! Absolutely loving it! I'm keen to find out about any rides happening (particularly in Whangarei/Northland maybe even Auckland) where it's okay for me n my little 250cc bike to tag along! :clap:

Welcome aboard the online asylum.
Riding a bike is either a means of transport or something in your blood.Methinks the latter for you.:niceone:
PS.Please feed the trolls if you can because it'd the best form of entertainment on kb.

Cheers Phill-k :) This looks interesting but how the? So... take a pic where the last one was taken (ie: Matapouri store - was there yesterday!) and take a pic anywhere else... preferably further north? How do you get the Google address/link? :confused:

don't worry abut that part we just need to get it moving north, its been sitting for a while. Find some place not to difficult, if you have a favourite cafe or something further north thats always good, did I say we do this for the ride:msn-wink:

Welcome to KB Rach be careful what so say, Esp as it can be taken a number of ways but regardless the dirty old purves (Myself included i guess):confused:
from here will still find a way anyway to turn in into a double entendre.
KB is a safe place esp the biker angels.
But read the FAQ's.

Hey phill-k - so I found myself at the Matapouri store today and got a pic... I won't be going North until probably next weekend though... So do I post the Matapouri pic on the tag site now or wait until I have both? :blink:

Hi Rach, welcome to KB.
If you can't make the L's Angels ride to the cape, there's a similar one I am organising the following weekend. Won't be as many people, but it should still be fun! There are a few learner/restricted riders coming along so you won't get left behind on your 250.
Here is the thread with the details:

Huh? What's getting out of fashion... the intruders? I've always liked the intruders since I was a teen. I thought It'd be a great bike to start with too. In the long run I'd be keen to get a Harley once I'm feeling more confident buuut there's a few others I quite likened the look of too so will probs end up with a couple and a bigger garage! :laugh: I have a falcon which was the daily transport but have ridden every day since I got the bike so the poor car is prob feeling a bit neglected!

What's it like at low speeds? I hummed a bit about one but went with a shorter wheelbase without actually ever trying an Intruder out =/
Definitely has a good look for a 250.

Yeah I love it! I guess as a newbie I can't really compare it to much... compared to my scooter :scooter: it COMPLETELY rocks! And compared to the super tall dirt bikes that I kept falling off it's kinda great too :laugh:

The wee intruder is a great bike. My mum had one when she learnt to ride. The ninja is also a great little bike. Enjoy...now, did you get it in the patented kwaka green is the question.
