G'day

[phantom]

Thought it was about time I introduced myself instead of just prowling around like "Nigel - no - mates". I started riding so long ago I got my license on a BSA Bantam ( granted it was old then ). I had a procession of bikes as a teenager ( all Hondas ) and managed to ride them into various stationary objects like a parked Jaguar and a bus stopped at a bus stop but eventually discovered the delights of women folk, mortgages ,children and a company car so it has been a bloody long time since I've had a bike i can call my own. Finally aged enough I can start again and have bought a slightly ratty GB400 which i hope to tidy up as time and finances allow ( Anyone got a spare GB500 motor they don't need ?). Middle age crisis my arse - I'm too old for that

Gidday, Mr OldePhart - ooops! (sorry!) Phantom.

Welcome to Kiwi Biker.:spudwave:
SpankMe has a GB500, but I wouldn't steal the engine out of that, now that you've gone public with your query...

[crashe]

Welcome Phantom to the wonderful world of KBers...

Nope I wouldnt attempt to nick SpankMe's engine either....lol.

Palmie huh, my old home town.....
There are a few KBers from around that neck of the woods...
In fact a few Wellingtonians even pop up your way just for brekkie quite often...

Welcome to KB, I bet you're wondering why you gave bikes up for so long eh? It's an addiction. I've never been able to give it up for more than 1 year!

Welcome home. This time around, get all the gear too, since you are no longer bulletproof :confused:

There's no way I would want to upset the esteemed SPANKME, mainly because of all the fantastic work he does on this website - Ive been in the IT industry since Adam was a cowboy and I know how much work is involved - bugger that for a job, :apint: but also because he looks so bloody scary.:msn-wink:
Yeah I am loving being back on 2 again , unfortunately missing Manfield this weekend, but its hard finding time what with working for "the man" and helping with my partners business - got to ease her into this sneaking off for a few hours on the bike business. Speaking of Manfield reminds me of about 5 years ago being invited out to Manfield ( don't ask me why ) courtesy of Honda to spend the day riding all their new bikes from 250's to what was then I think the brand new Blackbird. There were about 30 of us ( any KBers ? ) to share about 20 bikes. Ferking marvellous but cured me , so far , of my belief that bigger was better ( bikes anyway ). Thought I was doing quite well by the end of the day until a Goldwing, 2 up, complete with twin aerials passed me at the end of the main straight . I don't think the idea was to go out and buy a 15 year old bike but at least it was a Honda :niceone: Hope to meet some of you in the not too distant future, mind you some of you seem to take this life business pretty seriously :wari:

Hello and welcome..... :apint:

[Wolf]

Welcome and a' that.

Glad to hear you're back on two after the family/work thing.

It's a great mob, here.
