I'm new here (Oldfulla)

[Oldfulla]

hello all,
as the title says, I'm new here. Well My ride is an 05 zx636, a sexy blue colour, yay baby. I'm always up for a ride around the South Waikato Rotorua area, although, not that fast as I'm still learning. Only had the bike 6wks and I still grin like an idoit everrytime I'm it.

so thats me.

Had the pleasure of following some dude from cambridge to Tirau who was on his way to Rotorau on a brand new, rather fast, mean sounding Aprilia RSV 1000 factory today. Either He rides really fast, or I'm real Nana when it comes to riding. He mentioned Kiwi Biker and a track day at taupo tomorrow when we were stopped at cambridge BP. So Mr Aprilia, if you read this, thanks for the lesson on speed, it was exciting/scarey.

Cheers
Oldfulla

Welcome from down south mate.

Hey there Old Fulla.

Welcome to KB.

Brother in Law and I scooted through Putaruru the other day when we were killing the afternoon.

Plenty to keep you entertained informed and make you cringe mixed up in these pages.

No problem riding like a nana, you got to go at YOUR pace.

How very true in both sentences :yes:

Most problems happen when you try to keep up with someone and don't hold it to your own limits.

Welcome aboard from the middle!!!!

[johnnyflash]

Greeting Old Fulla, glad to see you aboard KB, enjoy the site and the rides.. plenty of locals in your area to hook up with for a ride...

[Edbear]

Welcome! I used to travel around the area when we lived in Morrinsville. There are some nice roads West!

Like other's here have said, please don't outride your skill level trying to keep up with faster riders! You can be dead before you've realised you've crashed!

Sounds like you're a returnee?

[McJim]

Welcome to KB - Watch out for Oldrider and Oldguy - sounds like they might have something in common with you! :rofl:

[dogsnbikes]

welcome abroad and take care

[trumpy]

Welcome in. I ride the back roads up your way quite a bit. Generally ride by myself but would be more than happy for some company. T'morrow and next week end are out but will p.m. you (if you're interested) next time I'm heading your way.

[MyGSXF]

Welcome to your new family Oldfulla!! :grouphug:

Your life will never be the same.. :shutup:

Jen :rockon:

ps: PLEEEEASE take the time to really get to know your bike.. and it's & your capabilities.. before you try to "keep up"!! :crazy: Ride to what you feel "comfortable with" for now.. as you get to know your bike, & your confidence grows.. you will get faster!! :woohoo: We REALLY don't like reading "biker down" threads on here.. :no:

Welcome Oldfulla. How old's old mate?

[Oldfulla]

Hi guys
thanks for the welcome, yeah I'm fully aware that I could end up very dead very quickly if I try to out ride myself.

How old is old, only 32. I have had this name online for a few years now and cant think of another one. It all came about from playing counterstrike and hanging out in the warez IRC chanels. Where in my mid to late 20s I felt very old compared to the young kids who kicked my butt in counterstrike. There have been some imposter oldfulla's over the years, but I am the orginal Muhaha. Being a High School teacher I do get reminded of my age most days by samrt ass teenagers hahaha.


yeah Trumpy PM when ya keen on a ride.

Cheers

Something to look forward too.
Cheers KEV

[Oldfulla]

yeah I supose being old is all relative to who you are around, my students think Im old, others think 32 is young. maybe I need to update my online name to "Middle-fulla" :D

[Daffyd]

Geez, man. You're less than half my age!

[kevfromcoro]

Hope u dont mind me sticking my nose in here
But who is the oldest rider here.
i work with a guy who is 74 and he still rides.
not often but he does.
He used to work for Sterling motocycycles in MT Eden
Later became Sterling Sports.
Thats going back..I cant remeber the name SM....
Bit off topic ,,but the word old got me thinking.

[Oldfulla]

[McJim]

[Oldfulla]

It will be a dark day if the shield makes it way north of the bombays again :crybaby: however in short term, its gunna be hell putting up with the couple of cantabs that we have at work on monday. they will be getting some good milage out of tonights game :(

[heyjoe]

hey there oldfulla,

Welcome to kb and age doesn't matter anymore anyway.

Enjoy the learning and as was said in an earlier reply - just take it at your pace while you skill yourself up. Let the brain build a whole memory bank of good quality memories of things done right. Keeping up is not a priority. Well, thats my thoughts anyway.

Have fun and ride safe.

[H00dz]

Welcome from the Winterless North (now thats a real joke at the moment) happy riding at any pace, in my case just being there is enuff !!!1

[Virago]
