I don't know what all the fuss is about with you KiwiBikers, you are a bunch of softies really aye?!!! Thanks for making me feel so welcome, makes me happy.
Had fun riding to Kaiwaka over easter, got passed by a load of harleys once I got past that Puhoi turnoff on the way home, they all burned past me, no waves, nods, winks or wheelies, but then the last one turned and did a staunch as wave, made my day it did !!!
Am going to NASS next Wednesday so hope to meet some of you there

Hey Aquarius, fellow Shorean noob.
Planning to out on my first longish ride...but work keeps getting in the way...or the weather...heck! I'll just go now I think! Who needs sleep before work anyway....

Hey there Aquarius, welcome in. I'm a South Aukz lady rider and relatively new, pootling around for a lil bit but still tentative. Kilgh-things are going well, been for a wee pootle around the Southern most back blocks to Maraetai, got game and hit the motorway (under supervision) and gotta buzz outta going over the harbour bridge. I've been keeping an eye on ur posts admiring ur progress-secretly envious. How long til u get to progress to R status? Have found SASS rider training worth its weight in gold. Keep us posted on ur progress too Aquarius. Peace out.
ps. Have been chuffed by all the riders inc Harley riders who've deigned to give me a wave when out, even though i sport the dreaded banana yellow L plate-big ups back atchaz.

Still about 9 months til the R status Maakz. Not worried though, not in a hurry.
The Harbour Bridge? Whoa. That's a milestone alright! I like the drive from the Shore to work in Mt Wellington. It'll be cool to do it on the bike eventually.
What's with this constant rain?
Hardcore Biker
Too right Kilgh-slow an easy does it. My mantra most of the time. Am keen to lose the L plate thats all-$hite beacon but insurance must. Yeah, was buzzy goin over the bridge and ensuing motorway ride back out south-felt laxed out but vigilant esp with the escort from my mentors. I have the same day dream u do except south heading to the CBD and my place of work...one day my friend, one day. I SO hear ya on the rain and pack-a sad weather we're currently experiencing-lil bita rain and showers i'm down to ride in, not at all this abysmal stuff and perma grey. Makes for dicey riding...so, the orange fandango is parked and wrapped in the garage...oh woe. Fingers crossed for the weekend.

Hey girls, awesome to hear from you, so exciting getting into something new aye. Yeah i am on the dirty old L(oser) plates too, sat it ages ago so could go for restricted but want to get a bit more practice in first. I actually don't mind the L plates too much cos I am learning and not that fast round corners etc, so I feel a bit safer having it on.
Looks like the weather is going to be fine so am deffo planning a wee ride this weekend, do either of you wanna meet up and go for a cruise? I can come south no worries, or shore side is good too?

Would love to Aquarius but I don't have another day off until next Thursday.
Another wonderful seven day stretch....

Sorry bout the delay Aquarius-moved house this week, only ride i managed was a wee circuit to retreat from the madness of another damn box to unload and unpack. Hmmm, i do SASS on Wed nights and late work hours stifle ride time. Week end maybe a goer, but won't know til later in the week...
Only reason i want to ditch the L plates is cos it seems to attract every dur brain within a 1km radius, as if the dreaded banana card wasn't a big enuff clue ima fledgling and they should exercise caution. Seems to be dé rigeur in my kneck of the woods to harass the L plate rider to buggery just to see how they cope. I do feel a wee bit safer and kosher having on there though all said- and won't be taking it off cos insurance gets voided should the worst occur if it aint on there.
Hope ur ride over the weekend was choice. I live in perpetual envy.

Cheers Maakz, had an awesome ride on saturday up Coastesville-Riverhead highway, thought to myself ,..... so THATs where all the bikeys hang out on the weekend! It was packed solid with bikers cruising around the place, fun!
I am working up to a ride out west, Scenic Drive or to Muriwai etc.. just spending a bit more time getting a feel for it first. Don't wanna hold up any surfers!!
Glad I went Saturday as the weather turned to custard on sunday, glad I got my fix!!!
Happy riding everyone
