Who ruined kiwibiker?

[The Pastor]

I guess Arsebook distracted a fair number, then t demise of WINJA, Indiana Jones, IdoIIdolIdyll etc took the fun out of the place.

Retard baiting is a lot harder these days too, some take the pip too easily...

Been here 15 years but the last few years only in the GP thread. I'm 3 pages into this thread because I don't come out here often.
I made lots of friends here, road and dirt to the point we had dirt division t shirts and flags made up and met up most rides and road dirt together frequently.
Made a few road riding friends (still have them) and we did stuff like a collection to get Katiepie's bike back on the road after her bad prang.
There where lots of female members here a few years ago.
It was a good place with sensible discussion on bike related matters 95% of the time.

Then Kiwibiker killed itself TBH.
The mods didn't kick out the fuckwits and it was quite crazy here for quite a spell.
The threads where full of bullshit and conflict for the sake of conflict. It seemed thats how they wanted the place to be?
People like Crasher and others got sick of it and left
People like me set their shortcut to their settings page and only looked at the subscribed threads.
Like MotoGP thread, Jokes or ESE thread and very rarely checked the New Posts, General ravings threads etc.
People like WINJA, IdoIIdolIdyll and crasher added colour, it didn't get personal as it did for quite a spell there.
We even tolerated twits Like Akzle who I don't think even had a bloody motorbike???
Maha, Mom, Caseye, Caveweta, Ocean1, DMNTD, Mossy1200, MSTRS, Frosty, Kiwifruit and many more, could generally give and take a bit of stick without being keyboard warriors.

So we have what we have now a few old timers wondering why they don't read interesting threads on bikes and bike Issues.
Because all of the semi sane members got shitted off with the insanity LOL.

my fave WINJA memory. I was ~17 still living at home and asked if anyone could weld up a broken bracket for my 1st bike ('85 GPZ1000R) WINJA sent me some flux and brazing rods, free of charge, addressed to "big faggot" from the "arse ticklers society" (note this was a 15 years ago, could have the wording wrong, but you get the gist) my mum got the letter and awkward questions were to be had, as to why (at that time) I'd never had a Girlfriend and wore leather all the time....

A serious answer from me-Cos I can.
I got tired of going to friends funerals.

this was also the reason I stopped for a while. Not sure if i'll come back tbh

You got me thinking. I would’ve been 27 when I joined the site.

I was 18. I'm 32 now.

Timaru, makes sense really. $2 icecreams at Night 'n' Day and plenty of closeted men who can keep a secret.

I was 18 and working at Pak'n'save. He turned up to say hi, told me I should be scraping the pegs on my NSR250 and warned me that if I stayed in Thames, I'd end up fucking the 60 year old deli clerk.

I got out of Thames pretty quickly after that.

Rode to Picton on Tuesday, ferry to Welly. Road back yesterday.

Notably not many bikes on the road, and only mine on the Bluebridge in both directions.

No police at all. Nil.

Just sayin.

How is that RT going? Nice colour

Was she a good shag?

I preferred riding the NSR, it was lighter and smoked less.
