Warning warning, this is another "I am leaving! I will miss you all" thread.

I will miss you all!

Nah just kidding. Ummm where do I start... Theres so much to say so I will just comment on meeting people.

I met so many people on KB, and so many still I'd like to meet. On my first group ride, I met the one and only GIJOE1313. At first I thought he was just a kiwi guy. It was cool. I also met Donor and Breakaway. And yes, Justin and Donor was on 250s.

Then I started to attend the AWNMR/AWNR/NASS, and still I do (tomorrow will be the last night). There I met heck lots of people.

OK I am running out of brain cells, I can't remember who and where I met them, anyways I met so many KBers. But heres the highlight!

Discotex: ZXR250 -> CBR600RR
Gubb: GT250R -> Street Triple
Toto: GT250R -> CB919
Bikerboy011: CBR250RR -> CBR600RR
Kave: SRX250 -> GSXR1100
GIJOE1313: CB250 -> CB919
Musicman: Zeal 250 -> Cagiva 650
Dakara: GT250R -> ZX-6R
Donor: ZZR250 -> 700 Intruder
Gwinch: CB250 -> VTR1000
imw-hornet: CB250 -> ???>250
MidnightMike: GSX250 -> SV650
Ragingrob: CBR250R -> VFR400
Renegade Master: CBR250RR -> N/A
Tank: GN250 -> DL1000
EJK: Scorpio 225 -> FXR150 -> Avanti

Is there something strange to that list? I mean, shouldn't I go forward? Why am I going backwards?! :lol:
Anyhow it was a great pleasure meeting you all. By the time I return to Auckland, hoping within 2 years after finishing my IT degree, get a decent job in Auckland and join you 250+ gang :2thumbsup


Well yea so again, I leave Auckland on Friday, off to Wellington to drop the bike to the new owner. However recently I felt fear by time to time. I hope the bike don't fail on me on the way! Wish me luck, I will need it. But on the other hand, I can't wait to meet the one and only Sully60 again. I can't wait to meet the Welly Crew at the Manfeild on Sunday. I hope that my bike will be with a better owner, really I've been a terrible owner for this one (And before).

What else.... I got nothing else to say. :sunny:

Ah what?! It's this weekend already? :laugh:



One more thing I would like to add, as a acting photo taker on my rides or on an event, it was a great pleasure to see those who sees themselves in the photo and are satisfied. I am glad that you guys liked the photos. As a (noob) photographer, it may be cocky to say but, I was really pleased to see using those photos as your Avatar/Profile pic. :first: It feels very worth it, as if I have actually done something useful while here in Auckland. :laugh:

Surprising as it sounds, I think they have internets down in ChCh too, so see you online some time!

But it was good riding with you whenever I did, still remember following you when I first did the AWNR and you could handle the Scorpio amazingly round corners.

And sorry to always pulling the finger at you whenever you took photos.. :sweatdrop Seemed like the natural thing to do.

Yep there is an internet down in chch however I don't think i will come online as much as before since I wont be joining a ride, taking photos or even have a ride.
What I will miss is the riding opportunity and seeing you guys. :)
