    Well, what can I say except..."Why didn't I get into this motorbiking caper earlier".

    What an absolutely fantastic and exhillarating 13 months it has been.

    The Beginning, L Plate Time

  4. 6R REPORT

    Do a little dance.....

    YEAH BABY.........:Bye Bye Bye to the Yellow


    The 6R Dissected for AA Lower Hutt

    1. Allow more time than the recommended 30 minutes to complete the paperwork before hand, as they are usually running late. And murphy's law says that the customer in front of you will be the difficult one, that takes more time than anyone else.....

    2. Book your test online, it saves lots of time......

  5. First time as a Pillion

    02/04

    After dropping my bike off at TSS for it's 8000km service. Grub turned up for a coffee and a chat. Didn't really want to go to the dirty, unclean McBun just up from TSS, so Grub suggessted a nice cafe in Jackson Street, petone "The Screaming Turtle". So it was on with the gear and up onto the back of Grub's bike.

    My first time as a pillion I might add. Okay totally different sensation that was. Sitting there, upright, not holding onto anything in front ...

    Day One from Grubs point of view

    Sorry it took so long, people to see, places to go, things to do ... and all that. Once I got home, I realised that I'd hardly taken any pics because I have a new phone and hadn't worked out the taking pics bit. Then when I did take them, they're the same as what the others did ... oh well

    We had a good group leaving Rimutex myself CBR600, Dingoz (he made this happen) with the two-tone GT250R, Diego (he caused it to happen) on his Yammy ...

  7. Great Loer Nth Island Loop

    North Island - The Great Lower North Island Loop Ride

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Due to circumstances beyond our control, one KB member decided to Ride from Wellngton to Taupo on 15 March 2008. In typical KB fashion, this has been blown all out of proportion with a number of us wanting to go with him and then have a long cruisy ride around the lower north island. We're getting quite keen on the idea now and serious ...
