    Gidday from Oz

    Just thought I'd step over the pond to see what our Kiwi cousins are up to and must say I'm impressed. Great forum with so many different bikes unlike most OZ sites that tend to be very bike specific.
    Been many years since I've had "L" plates, a novelty I don't think I want to get used to.
    Was out of bikes for many years for no great reason that I can remember and thought what the heck and bought an xj900. Brought back so many memories that the Ha Ha got traded for the Bird and now I've got a helmet full of grey hair and a fixed grin that I hope never leaves my face.
    I've been busy sending letters to Honda, Santa, The Easter Bunny etc so I can say with authority that the new Bird when it finally gets here will be the way to go.
    Just returned from a 4000 k ride Bris to Sydney return with my brother on a cbx and the pick shows Oz isn't entirely a flat desert.
    Seems like the cbx has drawn some interest. It's a 1000z 1979 and my brother also has an 80 model. The pipes cost him an arm and a leg but they sound great. Here's some more pics and one from my last BB ride.

    Welcome to the KB site, hopefully we can keep you entertained with our stories. Make sure you put NZ on your "to do" riding list, it worth it.

    Perfection is not something you should ever attain, but something to always strive for. For if we actually achieve our idea of perfection, is it then any longer perfect?

    Man - love those pipes - a Honda six as they should be!

    Welcome to the site, have to agree with the others those pipes look awesome.

    By the way, your 'L' plate will disappear with the more you post.

    Hello Raven. T'were one of they CBX6's at Taupo last week. A minter like in your piccys. T'wasn't your brother was it??
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Hi & welcome to KiwiBiker Raven!

    Nice pics too, especially like your Bluebird with that fantastic background...is that really Aussie, i thought it was all brown and desolate over there?

    Hi Raven, good to hear you enjoy yourself. Brings back many good memories I have when living in the Gold Coast, the warmth and wide open spaces, endless roads to explore.......don't miss the militant police!

    Welcome, I remember watching CBX's race at the original Bay Park. You had to be brave pushing them, as they wobbled out of the corners.....
    It's a long winding road to heaven......
