Still here from time to time, despite some best efforts from a select few in previous times to change that.
KB is the only reason I was ever able to continue riding (and some people within this thread), and some of the only people I have kept in touch with from time to time in the biking world.
Facebook abuse, cyber bullying and even being told by dozens of people I should have died made me withdraw from the entire biking world, and even a few PM's on here - not to mention a thread about how I was nothing more than a girl people would not ACTUALLY care about, rather than want to fuck. Lets just say it's taken me years to learn how to come through the 4 years of crap that I got, some of it self inflicted I now understand that.
Both online worlds have changed. But KB will always be the place I have met some of the most fucking amazing humans in my life, given me hope at times, led me to people who have picked up the phone when I've been close to the edge to tell me to get out of bed, keep going... that I matter.
FB, shut down my personal profile years ago, started an alias one where I now solely network with connections around the world for various reasons, and I block most people who find me who know me from my past life - whether I like them or not. I made a decision to start a new life, and on occasions it now includes KB.
Grateful to all it was at times many years ago, and all it taught me in the real world with connections too.
The R6 has finally just died too - after fighting with all I had for many years to hold onto it. So no riding in my near future.... for now. But when I come back - I'll be fucking back with such a grin, holding a middle finger up to the world at the same time.
Nice to see some old faces / names in here again. I check in from time to time. Life is bloody amazing now, living in the real world and keeping most humans at a distance until I can learn to handle that side of things again.

Hi Katiepie, I'm glad you are still here and it is good to hear from you. Best wishes for the future
Cheers

I guess I haven't missed much then?
Wow, its amazing the human and particularly the Male psyche that some are hard-wired to protect women and some to attack belittle and control. (And please don't take the 'protect', can't think of better word, statement as a condescending viewpoint, it a human nature thing and goes both ways) but shit some guys can be pricks.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.
Playing the man (or woman) instead of playing the ball appears to be ingrained on here at times.
I've also been taken aback at some of the personal attacks on others. I'm not bothered at attacks on me, I know that it's on my point of view, not me personally.
Maybe we have all matured. Welcome back KTP.
We're all 20 years older than when we joined.
Ah crap, there it goes again. My mind spitting out thoughts and words without a filter.
Sorry, what I MEANT to say was hi to a few old contacts and friends. I do miss the times when KB was active with some good debates, help and info for those needing it, and meeting people from here in person out on the road.
I even found my Kiwi Biker t-shirt the other day, and I must admit all I could do was smile at some pretty awesome memories of starting out as a rider surrounded by some pretty awesome people.
Must pay more attention in here these days. But then again being bikeless perhaps I'll just stay on the sidelines.
Must be someone you can contact down there and be pillion. Are Monty, Pam and their boys (Derwent Street lads n lass's?) or Linda and Co. still active down that way. Spyder(Jellywrestler)do you have any clue?
