KBers are friendly types

[Stevo]

big chuckle tonight. Cruising home to Picton and I passed a local KBer heading home in his cage :spudwhat: on this beautiful day. He recognised me on the shiny red CBR a bit before I recognised him. But I could not have missed the guy. Flashing his lights at me, appendages hanging out the window.

Aren't we just a great big friendly bunch.

Word of WARNING: Sniper CBR if you lean too far out your cage ya might fall out mate!!!! :killingme :killingme :killingme :killingme

[scumdog]

We need a common way to ID other KBers, any ideas (apart from stickers)?

And they ain't THAT good matey, they pick on South Islanders, H-D riders, Cops, old riders.....!

Oh no, not that issue again. I think we all agreed that we would do a big fart as we passed, stand on our pegs, flip round so we're facing the other way, do a wheelie, put our legs over our shoulders and shout "Gnaa ick ook" into our helmets. And that's the final word on the subject!!!
And it's 05.10am - it's been a looooooong nightshift, we've worked our arses off, it's pissing down with rain and I have to ride my bike home in it at 06.00am (if we don't get a late job), resulting in my beautiful shiny beastie getting wet. And I should stop rabbiting on like a demented porcupine because I've lost the plot completely now. :wacko: :confused:

Carry on - as you were....

[Sniper]

Thanks Stevo mate. :2thumbsup

You know I thought you would have done something stylie like lift the front wheel or waved with both hands, but did I notice a small wheel wobbel when you tried to wave?? :lol: Just kidding mate, besides, I figure the more of me to hang out the window, the more people might realise for me to be a biker as I try to ride ON TOP of cages. :cool2:

Anyway, we all are a friendly bunch and Im glad to risk life and limb to wave to you fellows and fellaritos :spudwave:

... umm... does that in any way combine with Biff Baff's curry thread going on? Do a fart with that lot and you'd be picked up a mile away... the rest wouldn't really be needed.

Just my 5c.

Enjoy the rain on the way home - I just enjoyed it all the way to work!

Oh I thought we were all gonna wear yellow helmets so that we could all be recognised...lol.

Oh dear the "Wee Beast" got wet..... I hate that too when my baby gets wet in the rain..... I say "Oh shit, its raining, my poor baby is getting all wet" ...lol.... I hope that when you got "him" home after your shift, that you gave "him" a good rub down all over and that "He" is now all nice and dry and snuggled up in his garage all safe and sound.

[Sniper]

Stevo, now look what you did, they are all gonna start talking about how to start recognising themselves instead of the wonderful weather Marlborough has

Oh do you have wonderful weather down there do you?
I have only passed that way in the ferry... heading to Picton....
so many years ago.. and it wasn't a nice sailing that day...
so have to say that I really didn't see much....

[XTC]

Luckily my work has a bike shed..... Sadly it floods :)

[moko]

it's pissing down with rain and I have to ride my bike home in it at 06.00am (if we don't get a late job), resulting in my beautiful shiny beastie getting wet. Carry on - as you were....

I`d settle for a bit of rain right now,ride to work at around zero degrees at the moment and the last 2 mornings it`s been -2 on the way home.Passed an R1 this morning(being king of the Banzai lane-splitters) this morning with some poor girl on the back with a thin jacket of some kind one,definately not bike-wear and riding halfway up her back.
I`ve got a lightweight bike cover that I take to work with me,keeps the rain and frost at bay,folds up and goes into a little pouch if you can be bothered,mine gets stuffed into my rucksack.

Nah, feck it - he was on his own this morning. I put him in garage and left him to his own devices cos I was too bloody tired after being so busy all night.

[vifferman]

Aren't we just a great big friendly bunch.
Mostly.
But some of us are the other kind.

[QUOTE=Stevo]Aren't we just a great big friendly bunch?

Maybe?, on the whole, but there are a few on here who can be particularly grumpy old farts who seem a little up themselves at times... Each to their own I guess. Just an observation though... not a criticism. Such is life's rich tapestry.

sod that.. I had fun drivin in that sort of weather, but I sure as hell wouldn't ride in it. What about black ice etc? the wind chill factor would be more than enuff to get stuffed. Big-up-respeck to ya mate, but no thanx!!

Sorry. Maybe I should have said that ""Those of us who are fortunate enough to live outside the main centres Aren't we just a great big friendly bunch?"
BUT I was trynna start a light hearted kinda thread aside from the usual moaning and carrying on.
Maybe the friendly ones of you should move to Marlborough and enjoy more friendly types.

Just watch out though for SniperCBR trying to ride his cage! Scary thought! Hahahahahahaha :killingme :killingme

Hey look - I said sorry for being grumpy yesterday!:weep:

And I'm not "up myself". :no:
You should have put this into two distinct categories: people who are arrogant and up themselves, and grumpy old pharts.

Oh make that three categories:
People who are arrogant and up themselves
Grumpy old pharts
People who live outside the main centres.

:whocares:


Better make that four (4) categories:
People who are arrogant and up themselves
Grumpy old pharts
People who live outside the main centres
People with mental disorders (and who are sometimes grumpy as a result)
And people who do expect the Spanish Inquisition.

[ManDownUnder]

Am I missing something here??

It says in the FAQ you click the "Create new poll" checkbox when you start a new thread...

I ain't got no checkbox on that page...!

[ManDownUnder]

No-one ever expects the SPANISH INQUISITION!

[Sniper]

Just try harder

[Biff]

As my uncle used to say, "There are those that are friendly and like you, there are those who are friendly but dislike you, and there are those grumpy ole bastards who sometimes attempt to befriend you but have such a high opinion of themselves they should either be avoided or be punched so hard that the bruises come out on their grandchildren".

God bless ya uncle. You were a wise old sod, and yes - I think I know which categories certain KB regulars fall into.

[vifferman]

No-one ever expects the SPANISH INQUISITION!
Well then - that will be a very small category.

But we need to allow for it, just in case.:yeah:

And you never have to worry about getting dressed up and looking your best.

[QUOTE=vifferman]Hey look - I said sorry for being grumpy yesterday!:weep:


Hehe... and once again I accept your apology V. :niceone:
But please dont think I was having a pop at you. I just perceive a wee bit of intolerance, (or maybe arrogance) on this site and it seems to come more often from those with quite a few green blobs! (whatever that means)
It usually starts with a yawn and "oh no! we've been through all this before..."

It also begs the question, does a site such as this breed cliques?
(Def: n : an exclusive circle of people with a common purpose)

Hope not.

[Biff]

That's why we like you Biff Baff - you're a subtle as a train smash!

Now do you really like me, are you pretending to like me or simply attempting to befriend me? :confused:

Yes, and you're not in it until your cheque arrives :moon:

Well it's 1 for the money, 2 for the show, 3 to get ready now go go go

I was driving The Man's van into Tauranga last Friday afternoon & spotted a yellow GSXR coming towards me & immediately wondered if it was Banana Man/Cajun. At the last minute, I spied the Kiwibiker sticker & commenced to hang out the window of the van, waving madly.

I have no idea what Cajun thought, but the toot of his air horns was confirmation of his identity & brought a smile to my face. I'm not certain he recognised me, but how often do you get the chance to acknowledge & be acknowledged by a biker when you're in 4 wheels? :banana:

Know what ya mean. Exactly the antics I observed the other day................ People, Please stay in your vehicles. When on the bike we can see you waving so there is no need to try and leap out the window at us. It is scary......... HAahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah. Ok not really.

I was attempting to say hello in the friendly south african way. I did not wish to scare you although I am the scary type. Lol. Next time I will just nod, hows that? hehe

Still planning on that ride tonight??

[Stevo]

In the last few days I've seen quite a few bikers that are a little less of the waving type.
Can't be KBers I shouldn't think and probably from de norf island :spudwave:
