Hey I'm Chris. Nice site and a great find after being away from bikes for the past 17 years. I got married, wife had 2 kids and I traded the CB 650 custom in on a tin can with 4 wheels and a spare. She was hard to let go (the bike not the wife) as I rode her from Christchurch to Auckland in the middle of winter (love that black ice) and after a nice rest on the ferry, I was prepared for the North Island winds and snow ,or so I thought, but thats a story in itself.
I've been a computor junkie for most of those years and recently had heart attack which got me thinking about bikes again so I bought a 1987 Yamaha XJ750 Ex Police bike from trademe and after pumping up the tires it rode fairly well and now I'm back to biking.
I,m 51 years and would like to meet with others near my age as I'm thinking of buying a tourer/cruiser and would like to join a club for meets and rallies. As I've been out of game for several years I'd appreciate some advice on the make/model of bike to purchase (up to $ 15,000) and clubs to join.
Cheers
