    Oooooohhhh another person close by. I'm in meadowank on Gowing drive... 190.

    Good place to practise is Tamaki campus uni carpark. Just don't go fast or spend ages or security can get pissed off. The industrial area around there is great on sundays when there are no cars - you can do 140+ easy on the no exit roads there. There is also a sort of course as such where you can go around on the sideroads. If you want to meet up some time I can show you all the cool places. There are some nice twisty roads in st helliers as well. (Fern Glen and Riddell rd)

    I'll be on the big huge ride tomorrow, but in the afternoon I'm free afterwards. I might do a photo session (get my dad to help) in the uni carpark. If you want to give me a private message with your cell# or some form of contact details I can get in touch with you and organise something. This monday I start a 2 week intensive theory course at ardmore so only my sundays will be free for a while.

    its a figurative speech, "the man" - you stick it to "the man". so it's like he stuck it to "the man" by shooting him. make sense? :spudbn:

    welcome by the way

    Welcome mate, ride safe
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    Welcome - I remember saying that not too long ago. Confidence comes with practice; just be honest about your limitations!
    Good luck and have fun!

    Welcome Yangsta. I have recently mounted two wheels again and can't think why I ever stopped.
    If someone won't leave you alone just ask them to wait in the far que.
