HI There,

Hello from the deep south. I've just joined up to Kiwibiker alhtough I have pretty much been a Bike enthusiast for about 20 odd years. Mostly dirt up till now, lately I have come over to the "dark" side and getting more into the road bike scene. I am a Motorcycle Mechanic and I currently I am building a V8 trike and also would love to have a go at building a V8 bike.
I'm looking for a road bike at the moment, but I am a fussy bugger and have Scottish blood so usually by the time I have actually decided on buying a bike, it's been sold. Hopefully I'll find one soon.
I look forward to using the site and hopefully I can benefit from it as well as contribute to it.


Cheers Craig

Cowshit washes off. It is the mechanical neglegence that gets to ya.

Quality choice (although there may be some bias in my view), enjoy those beaut Sothern roads.

from memory, about 5 bucks i think and they have souvineer badges for 10 bucks, all for a good cause and always a good ride, did i mention fantastic company as well , come along and have a bit of fun, one of the more sedate poker runs but still fun all the same.

Thanks, sounds like a bit of fun and I couldn't agree more that it is for a good cause. Hopefully I am able to make it.

Sounds like a plan. We are building a trike at the moment, VW powered though.
I do have this 351 Cleveland that I fired up the other day, I think that would be a better trike motor than the dubby, but my nephew is not keen.

The VW option is definitely a easier option and there are alot of them out there.
