Hey folks

I've been a member here for awhile but this is my first post. This site has been hugely useful at different times for information and direction, so thanks for all the help i've just helped myself to

Anyhoo, my reason for finally posting is that i'm looking for like minded riders to hook up with for rides.

I ride because......the weather is good....my horoscope told me too.....it's tuesday......it's not tuesday....I'm awake......I'm not awake yet....I'm breathing....

Pretty much i'm addicted to my motorcycle (Yamaha TRX 850) and I love throwing it around the port hills. I'm on holiday for 3 weeks and would throughly enjoy riding out with anyone who just wants to ride cause they can.

Any takers?

Related indeed

The manual for my TRX is the same Manual for the TDM 850.... Seems they updated your motor and cancelled mine

I'm sure I could make the trip north.

Ahh I see, well check that thread because occasionally someone will say they are going for a ride on the weekend etc and if anyone wants to join that person they can etc etc.

Nice bike you have there. Is it stock? Or have you added some extras and things?

Nah, she's stock standard except the mufflers have been de-baffled, and I put bar end mirrors on it. (Didn't see much point in looking at my own shoulders with the fairing mounted mirrors)

Were you parked in Little River yesterday? I think I saw a TRX there.
