    Thats Life

    Indeed it is
    So my lovelies, after signing up to this site in 2007 (fuck me nearly 10 years) its time to face the fact that my days on 2 wheels are now officially over.
    Two completely fucked knees plus a few other problems mean I can no longer ride safely, meaning best not to ride at all.
    KB was my introduction to the NZ biker community and through it I met some brilliant people. Caseye, Maha, Mom, MadDuck, StoneY, Katman, Riffer, Big Dave, Leathel plus a whole lot more, cheers you lot for keeping this fat fucker in tow.
    Aaaaaaand I know I have upset a few folks too, but thats life, thats KB after all and it is also about having an opinion.
    To those that dont like me.....like I give a fuck, get over it and go for a ride lol
    Thanks KB, its been fun

    I hope you don't disappear completely Max. Always been good to have you around. After all, who else could have scored "The Crazy Biker Boy"?

    I for one would be happy for you to keep popping up (like a floaty poo that just won't disappear no matter how often you flush).

    I reckon when the time comes though, it's probably best to rip the plaster off rather than prolong the sadness of waving the wheels goodbye.

    All the best whatever you do Mark.

    If the knees wont hold up a bike, why not try a trike?

    Sure they don't lean properly for corners, but they don't fall over by themselves and you can still be out in the breeze.

    Any way all the best, will be sad to see you go....

    Naa, the future is your friend. Me Dad, in his 70's, came to the same conclusion. Riding was ok but shifting bikes about became a lottery. He put the KTM Duke in and bought a Piaggio MP3 and loves it.

    Knees are replaceable and most other things can be cured or contained - this part of KB is for talk other than motorcycles!

    You have come to the right place! (Forum: Rant or Rave - Talk about any non-motorbike stuff here.)

    Especially welcome is talk about pies - but of course this forum is full of ? - oh what the hell - it is their individual right to be plonkers if they wish!

    Linger a while yet Max! - You were always good fun! ( Motorcycles? simply on reserve)
