Back on two wheels!

[Chisanga]

It's been about a year without a bike and i've been travelling aroudn West Africa in a big old Mecedes trucl. Been back in NZ for about 5 months and today (TODAY!) I just got my new bike!

It is a 2008 Triumph Street Triple in black and is my dream bike. Hope to catch up with some old mates again now I am back on two wheels of freedom.

Photos to come later :)

seems they sorted yours out faster than mine... apparently tomorrow should be the day <_<

[Chisanga]

To be fair you had quitre a long list of stuff to add on to your bike. Nothing quite like getting a new bike :)

[outlawtorn]

Lol! As soon as I get the tires scrubbed in and the engine a bit more run-in. Then there will be no stopping us!

I think we need to get the old gang (minus McJim and Chickadee) back together for a good old fashioned pootle!

Have you ridden with Chisanga? Like me he has nothing to hide as he rides well and within the confines of the law.

I cannot jump on this "Them and us" bandwagon with the police. The only time I have had to stop for a copper was for a cup of coffee chez Scumdog :rofl:

:soon: Just let me know where and when. Only done 100km on her so far so I would welcome the chance to extend that!

[Chickadee]

Congrats on the new ride! Looking forward to seeing pic's, you could always go for a tiki tour and come down for the Burt Munro rally?

There is an East Auckland Riders group over at http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/group.php?groupid=59 , we rided on those sometimes, if not, give justin or nigel a ring and it shall be done I assume! That's if Justin isn't on the otherside of the country.

Cool! Did about 250km today (I know nothing compared to Justin!) and met up with Gwich at the shop in Clevedon. Tried to call Nigel to show off my bike but he wasn't home :)

Loving the bike so far... Be good to ctach up with you guys for a ride anytime.

When's the next EARS ride? Haven't been on one since the inaugural ride to Kaiaua all those months ago...feeling a little nostalgic as I reminisce.

Aha! I remember your bike, I was drooling over it quite profusely.
Make a post in the EAR group bit-thingy and see when everyone is keen for another ride, more often than not people will say "name the time and place!" :yes:
