Yo Dudes

[blumeeni]

My first post on here I'm located in Wales UK but we're hoping to move to NZ within the next year.
Suz my other half will be coming along for the ride too.
I've worked for the AA as a breakdown Patrol for the last 32 yrs and feel it's time for a change of job and country.
I ride a 2002 blackbird and 02 r1150gs I'm a member of the UK blackbird forum B.I.R.D. and have been in contact with Geoff James from this forum who's been a great source of info and suggested I join KB.
We're coming over to NZ for 2 weeks holiday in april for a look around not long I know but it's all the time we can get off work at the mo.

Welcome to the site, don't feed the members and enjoy your stay.

Man that first pic looks quite surreal.
Lots of after market stuff on that bike? Colours of lowers etc look a bit non-standard.

Hawddamor at y gwefan safwe. The Blackbird looks particularly tasty in that colour scheme with the blue screen.

Velcome.

Yep.. aint seen a bird in those colours over here... suggest you brung it with you, it looks mint. Do you have snow chains for your bike?

Just kidding about the chains in case you think I'm an idiot

He's Welsh like Biff - they don't actually ride in the snow, just wheel it out, take photos and put it away for the 3 days of summer.

Welcome Pete and look forward to hearing you soon.

I thought you'd left. Didja get lonelerly?

[blumeeni]

Ta for the welcome guys the birds paint isn't standard something I cooked up there's a few mods and sods I've done to make her go quicker, stop faster,and handle better.
Snow chains are a no no though as they mark the wheels
Geoffs right though wheeled it out,photo then back in
I do about 25000m a year between the 2 bikes thats all pleasure riding on mainly West/mid Wales roads which are lol twisty twisty twisty
I'm not sure how they compare to NZ roads perhaps someone on here would like to comment.

Hey man,
Very very curious about that square gadget on your handle bar? What is it really and what does it do? Seems like some kinda audio device though… Looks really cool….
And one of the best color scheme I have ever seen….awesome..
