Bit of a celebration today.

:blip: I have posted (crap) 3000 times since i have joined this site...
:blip: I have been riding for 365days...
:blip: ...and I have covered 37000kms.

In 365 days Ive gone from never riding a motorcycle to spending very little time off one. Ive gone from riding like a complete nana, to riding like a complete nana with knee sliders. Ive owned 2 bikes, 2 pairs of boots, 3 pairs of gloves, 3 jackets, 3 pairs of bike pants, and 3 helmets. Ive also been on the track three times.:second:

In 365 days I have also be fortunate to meet alot of people through kiwibiker that Im very proud to call friends...even the ones from Auckland. Infact all kiwibikers are pretty cool people, and I cant think of any that I wouldnt have a beer with.

So cheers to all of you. Heres to another 365 days (maybe not 3000 posts).

Special thanks to Jill, Ryan and UncleB. You all know why :niceone:...

Mate, well done.:rockon:

You have certainly given the big up yours to the fuel companies - let's hope it can continue. It has been great riding with you and your nana:nya:

Sels - yeah im still a newbie. That 'newbies ride' all those moons ago seems like yesterday.

GR81 - I think I was up to 9.2 posts per day at one stage. Lack of internet at home put paid to that.

Bugger the post ratio, it's the 100km a day I'm impressed with. Go Skelstar!!

skelstar

24th July 2006, 10:40

Yeah, I dont remember most of the kms. Strange thought trying to find the longest way to get to places.

Congrats dude! I joined one month before you and started riding at the same time. You've definately excelled a whole lot more though! I have only done around 13000 k's and 2000 odd posts. At least I have owned the same amount of motormacycles as you! *wink* I still remember our first "big" ride.... Man how things have changed eh!

24th July 2006, 11:03

Congrats Skelly, as pgtr says theres no way im going to match 37,000 kms in a year, its been over 8 months now for me and ive only done about (guessing here) somewhere around (below) 10,000 kms.. ?

Str8 - Remeber when we met up with Euronomies (sp) and we met Uncle B for the first time and he was on his SV1000S...here we are with a GN250x2, and Hyo250GT and we were singing 'one of these things is not like the other'.

Good times....good times.

Good on you Skels,
Can't say I remember your first days (age thing) But you've stuck with it and progressed into a capable rider. You can no longer call yourself a nana.

Bling for you mate

24th July 2006, 12:39

Good on ya mate :)

That's why petrols so expensive. You're using it all. :bleh:

Congratulations Sean...

Shall we organise a wee celebration on Thursday August 3rd when I'm down in Welly?

PS. I'm not sure if I can beat the kms but I think I must be close - 20,000km on the SV in 8 months and I had the VTR before that for 6 months and did 20,000km on that. 40,000km give or take a couple of thousand in 14months. Come to think of it though, a fair few of those kilometres were with you!

skelstar

24th July 2006, 12:58

Thats true KS. That was a fantastic trip down South (islands of birth get capital letters). I think we will call it a draw (kms).

Cheers UB.

Beyond: I worked out that my Hornet runs at about 10c/km...17000kms on my 919cc baby. You do the math :).

He needs some substantial work on the fat and hairy part of the equation before one could call him a lifer.

skelstar

24th July 2006, 21:46

Ive always wanted to rule. I fear that sitting on my bike alot is not going to inspire enough people to rule.

Cheers dude.

Hey Skelstar, Congrats.... you've really racked up an impressive no of kms. I'd just been reflecting on my biking year which started September last..... No License, then Learners, then Restricted, then Full License :yes: , and now No License again!! :bye: Talk about going full circle! and only 21,000km!!

Think you did much better! Congratulations

skelstar

25th July 2006, 19:22

Cheers dude. No licence? Woops.

25th July 2006, 19:37

Bloody well done Skels! Thats some decent distance on a bike. Im impressed.
I remember seeing you chugging up the hill to Pukerua Bay on Boxing, you bike running like a bag of shit on the way to Wanganui. I think you ended up driving up to Wanga's. A good keen man.
Well done again I say:yes:

skelstar

25th July 2006, 19:49

Cheers MM. Ah yes, the chugging :)

Bit of a celebration today.

:blip: I have posted (crap) 3000 times since i have joined this site...
:blip: I have been riding for 365days...
:blip: ...and I have covered 37000kms.

Hmmm... sorry dude, I just checked with Gamgee's formula in his sig and it appears you are officially a kiwibiker.postwhore. But the formula dosent take in to consideration the number of Km's you have travelled, so I guess we can let you off a little bit :=)

Well done and keep those wheels turning :-)

if (user.postcount > user.yearsriding*user.ccrating) {
user = kiwibiker.postwhore}

if (3000 > 1*919) {
skelstar = kiwibiker.postwhore}
