Newbie saying hi (**Rach**)

[**Rach**]

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. Jump aboard the L's angels ride. Learner friendly and you won't be left for dust.

[MIXONE]

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.

[**Rach**]

Cheers :niceone: I just saw the L's Angel ride up north for November... prob can't make that one so trying to find out the next one! Sounds great cause...erm... don't think I'd like the taste of dust :msn-wink:

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:

[**Rach**]

Alrighty then... if I find myself with time up my sleeve I'd be keen to have a looksee :msn-wink:

[husaberg]

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.

[**Rach**]

Cheers for the welcome husaberg - and the words of wisdom :niceone:

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:

good on ya, post it up then nobody else can take the tag, was out that way myself today did the ACC / ProRider bike handling coarse no time to stop though,
Its sat for a while so won't hurt to wait for you to post the new tag.

[**Rach**]

Ha me too! I'm guessing you must not have been in the novice group :D we found the time for a quick pic n carried on :)

[Vinz0r]

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:

Hey :yes: it sure is other than my little scooter I had for about 10 weeks... I'm loving it!

[husaberg]

Gee i am a bit thick it's in your first post...........:laugh:
So why the bike It seem like they are getting to be a bit out of fashion these days.
Do you have a car as the daily transport?

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!

Intruders all the way. Love mine.

Nah sorry i meant the Bikes in general...fashion......Not the Intruder....

[Tazz]

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:

[Angel_of_Metal]

You type young. i pick ya for 23 tops ya must have seen it on reruns;)

[**Rach**]

So the scooter lasted about 10 weeks... (2 of them in the shop!) and the intruder has officially lasted 57 days (1 of them in the shop!) :laugh: I'm picking up a Ninja this arvo and riding to Thunderbeach! Yahoo! :msn-wink:

[Rhys]

Interesting to see what you think of the kwaka compared to the intruder, very different style of riding

[husaberg]

Well, come on Rach spill............(was that a bit deep or an awful shallow dredge)

[**Rach**]

So the Ninja wins... hands down... love it! Think I'd like another cruiser at some stage but that'll mean 2 bikes for me :2thumbsup cause I don't wanna do one or the other! But for now... for me... this was the best move :banana:

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.

[**Rach**]

...anything more for me is just too colourful :cool:

[the oldstuff]

Ninja, intruder? They sound like items in my wife's bag of tricks

[MrItalian]

...anything more for me is just too colourful :cool:

Something tells me that youre gonna be more like a sportsbike rider than a cruiser. Either way welcome to the wonderful world of motorbiking, be safe on the road and stay classy :cool:

Cheers MrItalian... yep so far the Ninja is definitely holding my interest! :)
