If you want to be in it email me a 800 x 600px or thereabouts to

and call it 'reader's rides.'

You can do a write up too if you care to.

I'll format up a page shortly. Just got a few to finish writing up first.

Errr 1983 I think.

If I can only have one bike, that doesn't mean I get to restrict myself to one sort of riding. My CB250RS is old and slow and temperamental but it'll do anything if its owner is stubborn enough. The network of gravel roads criss-crossing the country are a completely new side of riding to me and I'll be damned if I'm going to give them up just because my bike's not quite an XL250.

This is a nice short run within spitting distance of Auckland on the way up to Puhoi.

Didn't I see that bike on Trademe recently?

Taken this morning/ dawn :yawn:

@ Christchurch, New Brighton Bridge. luckily there was no one (early in the morning) to kick me off the bridge. Even if there were, they couldn't have stopped me anyways.

Somehow the 2nd photo (best photo of the day) makes my bike look like a Harley. :dodge:

It's tricky dealing with direct sunlight. Maybe I need a better camera.

[98tls]

Theres some great pics on here,had a read of Big Daves tips when photographing your bike on the Kiwi Rider site,quite interesting,maybe with this redundancy shite outta the way i might invest in a decent camera.

My favourites are of it in race trim with Sully riding it - so I opted for this one instead. Not because it's a particularly great shot or even that it shows the bike off well but really just because of the trip I was on and the good times that I had :2thumbsup

Hi, Guys and girls,
When someone said "favourite" bike, I thought - which one? at the respective time each one has been my favourite!
I've still got a couple more for later.

edit - mis-read the threads - should have been "favourite picture of bike" not "picture of favourite bike" - oh well, it is Saturday afternoon after a little ride and a couple of beers!!

I've got two faves... not strictly of my bike....

We bought a TL in 97 that I was a regular pillion on, so figure I can show my fave photo... It was at the Nurbergring in 2000 (we brought the bike to the UK with us) the pic is of my brother on his TL and my husband on ours after the first lap of "the ring". They were buzzing after that lap, let alone the next 4. Incidentally, Pete put those leathers on the other night for the first time in a few years... damn we had a laugh.

The second pic is of our bikes being dwarfed by elephants in India....
