Howzit (sagirl)

[sagirl]

I am new here - in more ways than one. The OH and I are only recently shipped in, all the way from Joburg. Anyone else here from Safrica?
We have been going through bike withdrawals so are now in the market for some new ones after having to sell ours when we left SA.:crybaby:
Anyway, all going well we should be back on 2 wheels in a week or so. looking forward to it.
Also keen to maybe do some breakfast rides (not sure if they are called that here)... and rallies.
I used to have a 600F4 and am looking at the Hornet 900. What can I say, I am a Honda fan.

Welcome to NZ, and welcome to KB!

Me, Sniper and Joni (in Christchurch), Degrom (in Wellington), Brett (I can't remember exactly where)... and if I really think hard about it, I can probably come up with a few more ex-SA members.

No doubt we'll be in contact again soon.

Hornet... good choice.

Welcome to KB. You will find the natives friendly and a good laugh if not very opinionated. There are always rides being organised so you should get well integrated quite quickly!

Neh mind about your taste in bikes:lol: You will find there are a lot of Honda fans on here.

Happy riding.

Hi sagirl, welcome to little ol' NZ and KB. Once you get your new bike make sure you join us on a few of the local rides, great way to meet the locals and find the good riding roads (and good eating/drinking spots). Go Honda, and especially the mighty Hornet!!:banana:

[NOMIS]

[Hinny]

[QUOTE=forkoil;1440173]Hey, Suzukis werent testing that day!!:argue:
I omitted results after 10 as first Suzy 11th, then 17th.
Reference to race results was in response to your tale of CB's blowing up in a race in the Seventies and hence your dislike of Hondas.
I must say your bike sounds very good tho" New can was worth the money. I took my earplugs out after our last stop on Thurs. so I could hear your bike. Unfortunately, you didn't get anywhere near me for me to be able to do so.:2thumbsup

[Animal]

...But we will probably only get the bikes next week. *sigh*

Well, is the family likely to grow by a couple of bikes this week? :banana:
