Who are we chatting to?

[Tubbsy]

In the interests of having a better idea of who we are all interacting with on a regular basis, thought it may be cool to start a "who are we" thread.

Couldn't be a poll because there's more than one question. And no detailed questions, just some general interest on who we are stuff.

Profession: I.T and Pro photography

First/best bike memory: The whole process of getting my bike. Flying from Dorkland to Masterton to pick her up, and having a few days and 750km to re-learn to ride. Being out on the road on my own, gaining the confidence over the trip. Waking up in Taupo and going downstairs to get back on my bike....sweet sweet memories.
Estimated km to date: approx 4,000

So go on....Share. This will either bomb spectacularly, or be quite good.
