    Time for a proper intro

    Hi all

    I've been a member here for a week or so and attended last nights Trauma Management seminar held on the north shore.

    Anyway, time for a proper introduction.

    My name is Tracy Prier, I live in Manukau in Aucklandistan but I'm not a bad sort anyway

    I'm 41 this year, happily married to my pillion passenger. We have a dog, cat and no kids which is a personal choice...more time for riding motorcycles!

    I am a systems administrator (computer geek) but started out life as a mechanic many years ago.

    A few months back I went mad, sold my existing bike (a Royal Enfield Bullet 500) and my car in order to finance my current bike which is a 2000 BMW R1100RT-P, an ex-California Highway Patrol bike which I privately imported from the dealer in California (hence the Erik Estrada reference for those of you old enough to remember CHIPS ) This is now my sole transport

    Anyway, that's all together enough rambling from me.

    Just to say that KB looks like a good place to hang out with a good bunch of fellow bikers.

    Hope to meet you on a ride soon

    Tracy

    That's one nice bike. Li'l Ratty took great delight when he got home last night in telling the Whale that he'd seen a much fancier motoraden.

    Did no-one tell you that there is to be no gutter language in this forum? Wash your fingers out.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Thanks guys

    Whitey... Yeah I like the black/white scheme... far better than the NZ version, just plain white with crappy flouro stickers all over it.

    Ever notice that anyone slower than you is an idiot, but anyone going faster is a maniac?

    Welcome.

    That's funny. I used to be a mechanic and now am a system admin!! Pretty much the same job i think... fixing broken things.
