Hi there, newbiw to this site.
Had a bad strat to new year, a lady backed into my bike while it was parked 2 days before xmas, her insurance is going to pay for damage. Last monday someone left a bottle on Taranaki street, ran over it stopped at the lights and heard a strange hissing noise aaaaaahhh crap front tyre flat as. My new years resolution was to get fit but i wasnt planning by pushing my bike from taranaki street to Berhampore. Oh yeah got trashed in town sat night and lost cellphone. LOL what a great start to 2005.

Welcome to our gargre, Philbilly.

I don't know where the "plot" is either. I suspect it is immediately adjacent to my marbles and virginity...

Howdy! Good always good to have some more Wgtonians in here! Need to keep those Aucklanders in line! :2guns:
Yep - there's a few people in here mourning the fact they're bikeless at the mo. When do you get it back on the road?

Welcome to the Nut House Philbilly (is that a city code, sorta sophisticated wording for Hill-billy?) Seems you got every chance of fitting in here, now that is up to you to decide if that is a good thing or not :confused:

Got puncture repaired yesterday, paid bill then the bike wouldnt start. Just the starter relay making a click noise. Dont buy a Ducati lol, they reckon the starter motor has gone to crap. Well... im shopping for a new bike now, a Honda CBR900RR or maybe a VTR Firestorm.

Cheers everyone for the welcome

Quickly, you must escape from this site before it sucks you in, and you will be permanently trapped! Quick, go, go, GO! Save yourself!

Welcome, and a potential welcome to the presitgious Honda fan club my dear friend. :wavey:

In case you didn't know - everyone on this site is an avid fan of Honda's, homwever some are kept on small retainers in order for them to pretend they hate them simply to keep things interesting. Nobody like a bunch of sycophants after all.

Dang! That's not good.
Oh yeah - welcome to KiwiBiker! :spudwave:
Be aware that while they are relatively reliable, Hondas are not immune to problems. The Firestorm's a great bike (had one until a few weeks ago), but they do have R/R problems occasionally, and the camchain tensioners can break (happened to my bike before I bought it, lunching two valves :shit: ).
But apart from that, they're pretty good, easy to ride, and lots of fun. :yeah:

RR problems? I hope you are referring to that other RR - Racey Rider - and not myself. I never touched it. :bleh:

Now that's an untruth - I'm not on any meds at the moment, and haven't been for months.
As for blasphemy - well, I've owned 7 Hondas now (and no other brand of bikes, just by chance :spudwhat: ) and so I'm no longer some "wet-behind-the-ears" acolyte. Or electrolyte.....
And I've replaced two R/Rs (that stands for "wReck-you-later/Rectum-fryer", not Riff Raff, you Riff Raff you :blah: ).

Don't believe a word of this madness PhilBilly, The majority of us on here may accept Honda riders as "almost motorcyclists" :no: But if you search the threads for a poll on what is your favourite make, you will find that Honda is NOT the top brand. I must admit that I ride the top brand of bike. :scooter:
