Well I am still here. Though I originally joined Kiwibiker in 2004 (started riding in 2006) I went walk-about in early 2009. Since I returned to Kiwibiker in May 2009 there have been numerous events and activities I have participated in: (This blogg) Motorcycling and My Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder OCPD Perhaps some may understand why I deliberately spent the first 1000km riding in Stokes Valley in May/June 2006 before I ventured further afield. ...
At the Wednesday night rides over the recent years I too have witnessed changes in riding attitudes, and sadly very sadly perhaps a group mentality culture that can be pervasive and subtly intimidating - not intimidating by any particular individual/s but rather just the pure social dynamic. On another sad point, there have been quite a number of motorcylist fatalities, and indeed since the November ACC protest ride this has brought home the fact that serious injury and death are ...
Well, another Monday finds yours truly riding to the usual rendezvous outside Auckland Public Library. Oddly enough, I am usually the first to be awaiting others to arrive, usually snacking on a frozen confectionary made in some dubious asiatic clime. This time, due to commitments and me being in several places at the same time, I arrived nearer to the end of the meeting time before departure. Still, I managed to consume an ice cream treat that resembled a watermelon slice (which, ...
Originally Posted by riffer Kia Ora Katoa, Hello, my name is Simon Gotlieb, and I’m a motorcyclist. I’d like to let you know how we got involved in all this and why we’re here today… In October last year, the government announced that motorcyclists were to pay up to 400% increases in their ACC levies on registrations. Obviously this was unwelcome news, and we immediately began protesting, and investigating the reasoning behind such a huge increase. Very quickly it was found to be based on grossly ...
……... Now Dead-Eye Dick & Mexican Pete were camped at Deadmans Creek, And they’d had no luck by way of a fu(n) for nigh on half a week. Save a Moose or two and a Caribou and a bison cow or so, But as Dead-Eye Dick was king of the prick, they found this f(rightfully) slow! They could well have been camped in Porangahau….that’s where my mate Murray grew up and a lovely lady we know, by name of Miriama….but apart from that, what is there to say? One wouldn’t ...
A Genuine Dutch Auction – Kawasaki 250R I have no hesitation in stepping back from riding this winter 2010, and who knows spring may bring another surprise. In the meantime I'm very sincere in saying that the 2009 Kawasaki Ninja 250R is an excellent bike and highly recommended as a daily commute bike and also a joy for that short ride over the hill to the Wairarapa for a coffee. Tuesday/Wednesday 6.30pm Dutch Auction Can be purchased at any week for price shown. ...

Harken to thee all once again my fine body of diligent and doting readers. I have a tale filled with fire and fury, signifying nothing (but possibly a two stroke ring of noise), but all to do with the foolish follies and foibles of your lamentable and most lambasted provender of sordid biking tales. In the interim of the time passed, since last I quoted my less-than-regaling stories of being a harried user of two wheeled contrivances, I have found myself in all sorts of mundane and ...
“Romance, Two Strokes and The Bard” (Disclaimer: May be detrimental to Maturity Levels) Heading into Stratford we kept passing holiday parks with romantic names such as ‘mountain view’. They may well had a lovely view of the mountain, but on that Sunday clouds swathed the landscape right up to the treetops. Needless to say, having a ‘view’ was not top of our priority list as we cruised for a place to stay. Andrew had the number of a youth hostel so we cruised the streets I ...
