Howdy all, I`m new here and just thought I`d introduce myself. I come from the West Coast in the South Island. Currently riding a Triumph Speed Triple. Started out on dirt bikes then a Norton, Trident, BMW, many more dirt bikes, Sprint RS and now the S3. Worn out eight tyres in the last six months, I love riding this bike. I`m a member of the local West Coast Touring MC Club who run the annual Woodstock Rally. Always keen to meet new faces if you are passing through this way. I`m probably best described as a fourty five year old tattooed beer drinking teenager with a wicked sense of humour. Hope I can keep up round here...

Welcome to KB SPEEDTRIP. The south island is beautiful. I grew up in Blenheim myself. Done the road to the west coast before. Lots of fun

Yes, Welcome to KB...... love those South Island roads, and lack of traffic out your way.

Yes Leong, we are certainly spoilt with good roads down here and not much traffic most of the year. Hey that Daytona sure looks a good one. I`d ride one before I rode a 675. The 675 just looks too small for us big (stiff) old bastards:weep:

well from what i have heard around is that the 675 beats the pants off any of the 600 arounds that you could name and would even take a good shot at some of the 1000's

Yep, and its the nicest looking sportbike to come out of Hinkley to date. Very modern sharp styling, I love it...
