(To be sung to the tune of "Riders on the Storm").
Hey - I was washing the cars on Sunday (as you do), and saw a couple of guys whip up and down the road in Chatswood on their bikes. Both were wearing full leathers, and were on a ZXR250 and CBR250, I think. I've seen you guys before, so presumably one or other of you live near me. Is this anyone on KiwiBiker?
How many guys/gals on KB live around Birkenhead/Birkdale/Northcote, apart from Lou?

Well, I work in Takapuna at the moment, but it's a temporary orifice until my glorious masters finish a new building back in Northcote.
So I should be back working in Kawana Street and passing you guys on Onewa Rd by December or so.
Wouldn't *live* on the Shore, though. Shudder. I'd have to start wearing turtlenecks.

North Shore is a tough place. I hear the way to survive is beat the crap outta some dude on your first day or be someones bitch for the rest of your stay.

Better keep those at the bottom of the drawer, mate, or all those tough Shore boys'll figure out that you're an imposter and come round to make you their bitch for the rest of your stay.

Greenhithe should never be mistaken as west ack or Glenfield, I think it is more albany if anything, I have a house up there.

Man, this has turned into a farce.:rolleyes:
Look, it wasn't a VFR (I don't know my 250's very well, but as a fan of Vs, I know what a VFR looks/sounds like).
I'm pretty sure it was a Kawasaki ZXR and a Honda CBR. They may have been 400s, but sounded a bit whiney for that.
It doesn't really matter. If it was some KBers, then I would've hooked up with them sometime for a ride, household chores notwithstanding.
