Then there are motorbikes to talk about too.

Carver started a thread like this in 2008 or thereabouts. He was well wrong. You are closer to right, but Farcebook? That what your mother's friends use.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.

NZ is a small place, so it should go without saying the kiwi biker community is smaller too. Facebook isn't where people are going though.
Most bike news and new models are shown and reviewed on youtube by dozens of youtubers. If I want to know what bike to choose, do I ask kiwi biker members or reviews on YouTube?
If there's a mechanical or parts question, international forums have more users who will provide answers with less sarcasm.
Fun bike clips are all over tik-tok where an Australian biking couple in Pokemon onesies have more views on a clip than this site sees in a year. https://www.tiktok.com/@wade_r6
The reason not much changes is because its the same members having the same arguments, making the same kinds of posts.

As current owner of two GasGas, that makes me wince.
And four strokes at that.

You're relatively new here, there was a time when this site was humming. People did migrate to facebook in their droves too.Originally Posted by Hoonicorn

I remember a KB ride from Rimatex before Rimutukas circa 2005. We literally filled the forecourt. White Trash held court explaining ride etiquette. No one listened. Carnage ensue.
Then there were the various KB rallies.
You'd see people in shopping malls wearing KB T Shirts.
There were some dicks. There were some fights. But by and large it was a balanced community and a lot of community spirit. Lifelong friendships formed.
Some people left (I'm pretty sure they stopped existing at that point) and others joined.
Who is left? Those that can take a joke.
One day Ashley (or maybe Fraser, who knows) will pull the plug. But it's been a good ride.
Long may it continue.
Go out and actually ride that bike. I have to be guilty of that. I have two motorcycles and neither are regularly used. I need to spend the time to properly sort them.
But you know? Work and family pressure.
Plus the other 5 need riding and that takes time.
Get out there and stop bitching.
Don't you look at my accountant.

The whole internet is now infected with a pandemic of people who don’t or rarely ride telling other people they’ve got the wrong tyres or their not allowed to own an adventure bike unless they can ride it like Chris birch.
I think a lot of people are going back to old school style, only talking bike stuff to workmates that ride and random roadside bikers.
Cause that’s the best meaningful human interaction you can have. Rolling a ciggie and having a cofffee in rain under a tree at some nowhere South Island small town gas station where you’ve ONLY stopped because there’s nowhere else.
You talk bikes/travels/mods/prev bikes etc and then your on your way prob never to meet again.
No one diesects your bike/tyre/ helmet choice or flops out a multiquote of what you said five mins ago in some bizarre autistic/narsacist fashion cause then it would just be on and no ones riding anywhere lol
Get out a ride folks stop drinking and typing....

Well, this is awkward...
It's the nature of the internet, innit?
Look back in a few years (days? hours?) and it'll all be different again.
