    Where are you? Old KB members

    I was doing a bit of searching on the KB forums looking for info. Kept coming across all these old names I used to know. Clicking on their profiles generally ended in seeing no activity for a year or so. Some had changed their bike to "None" or "crashed" or "..." etc. While a couple I found regrettably had "RIP" in there.

    So a few old names, where are you all?

    These people I remember but lost contact, anyone shed any light?

    Chickadee lives in Invercargill with hubby and children. They have bikes, but not the kind with motors...

    At least 2 of those names copped so much personal abuse that they pulled their heads in and buggered off...

    Can't say I blame them - it was pretty intense...

    Not heard from the Stranger in years.
    I know Mack the Knife (wanker) went to US?
    Buffy the hot ginger is probably married with 10 children by now.
    Deathstar - no-one has heard from him since he went from a 250cc Hyobang to a Busa...
    Skidmark - he's banned I know, no bike just a long line of "projects" as usual
    Colapop - he was always a laugh, like to catch up with him one day.

    He's just scored a job in Auck. Have him stay with us sometimes in Welly when he comes down to see his boy play for the Hurricanes. He's in good form.

    That's good to know, cheers.

    Was talking to an old KB "veteran" and an interesting point was made... while it is customary for a school reunion to happen after 10,20 or even 30 years - the reality for KB is after just 6 years I'm sitting here wondering how many in that list are still alive... talk about perspective....

    Probably find most of them simply can't be fucked with the place anymore.

    That's what usually happens. People get on here, make lots of friends and have a great time then eventually get sick of the wankers, copping shit and losing friends so they move on.

    Those of us that are still here should probably go see a shrink ....

    I think R6kid is in Australia now. Haven't seen Dev Esq for ages. Seen Joni around a couple of times in the last few years.

    Yeah well I wondered what happened to the 10 year party. I've been here almost 10 years myself, don't take offence easily so have no problems checking in. Probably don't post quite so often due to being busy but generally have a look each day to see if there is stuff to interest me.
    Cheers
