    Another new one stumbing around (CelticLass‎)

    Recently moved to Marlborugh area and looking for some folks to ride with. I have an 88 xlh1200 and a 1999 Triumph TBird. I tend to spend most of my time on the Triumph these days, like going to a caddy after 22 years on the old HD.

    Originally from Boston, USA but have almsot 9 years in NZ, so plenty of riding experience here - I tend to only drive on right on minor occasions.

    Hope to meet some folks in the area for some rides.

    Well I'm not from Marlborough but wont miss the opportunity to be the first to say hi here.
    I found the same thing riding in your part of the world. I was OK driving a car because the seating felt all wrong reminding me to drive on the right. But the bikes weren't left hand drive so I often found myself enjoying my ride until faced with a few on-comers..!

    Welcome
    If you love it, let it go. If it comes back to you, you've just high-sided!

    Welcome
    I know exactly how you feel! (steering wheel, center line is easy in a car)

    Problem is now I've been here so long, I drive on left at times stateside when visiting as well. A lost cause at this stage perhaps.

    Thanks heaps for the welcome.

    NZ is a biker's paradise! North and South Island's are both full of great roads and fabulous scenery! If you're ever up this way, you're more than welcome to pop in for a cuppa! Although I can't ride now, there are many KB'rs up here who'd love to show you around!
    You don't get to be an old dog without learning a few tricks.
    Shorai Powersports batteries are very trick!
