finally after almost 2 years off road bikes, im back.
its been one yaer on a SJ125T epicuro, which had its exhaust disintergrate on me, and the last 9 months have been on dirt / adventure bikes, DT 175s, Kawasaki KLR 650 pile of shit, and the astonishingly good NXR 125 (recomended) :second:
i purchased a 2005 hyosung comet, off a fried who brought it off skelstar, which i rode back from paraparaumu! i realised i missed riding road bikes.
i always loved the power delivery of a V twin, so....flexible, so all interested road riders in hamilton, PM me and tell me if your keen for a ride! :zzzz:
be nice to see some of the old crew along (momentum, pathos, road rash)
the idea behind the dirt bikes was to develope my riding skills and make me even faster through the corners. :gob:
the thing being not speed alone, but a fast and smooth style of riding, but in the time of doing dirt riding i found a passion for jumping, powersliding, pulling wheelies, heading up HUGE hills, riding through water as deep as my crank on the honda and i can tell you my balance has improved out of sight. :yes:
so i think i will keep the honda, and continue to hone my skills.
see ya on a bend somewhere :blip:

nah, he never got any gear, apart from gloves and a helmet, plus he is saudi, and the cold gets to him, a good picture of him is on my NXR 125 review!
