Another Nooob (Mal1975)

Hey all, joined the site a few days ago, What an awesome rescorce!!!!

My Names Malcolm, currently riding Hyo GT250R have in the past owned GN250 and Kawa EL250, so the GT was a bit of a change in respect of riding position. I am finding I Prefer the lay on the tank and hold ya breath riding position (lol) as opposed to the neutral riding position.

am still currently a L plate rider but can go for restricted whenever i feel comfortable and have the cash available lol.

I currently live in Otaki (Kapiti coast area) and sat up quite late last night looking at the Tagging pics from Kapiti/Horowhenua saying to myself, yep i know where that is and that, and that lol so will get out and play when the weather is better than today!!!!!

would love to meet up with other members from the area, Particularly otaki, never have too many friends

thanks all and I hope to contribute and ride forever!!!

Mal

Hi, welcome to KB!

See that you owned a EL250, that is my current bike, nice little bike!

I've done the Magpie Rally a couple of times on the EL250 and found it to be a good wee bike, hopefully I'll be moving on up to a big bike soon! Fingers crossed!!
