    Smile Old Newbie joining the ranks.

    Hi there,ive been looking at this site for a while,i thought it was about time i joined the mad house.

    Ive been around bikes many years,started riding six years old on NSU 150 Scooter,we used to take it to the mud flats,go full noise,lay it over on to running boards,and hang on,well thats where i learn't to ride,moved away from riding bike for close on 15 years,but been back riding for 3 years,have had 2 gxr 750 s & loved hooning on them,so i took the plunge & bought the most awsome bike to go hooning on,Buell XB 12 Firebolt,i just ride it every where,most Kber would have seen me around auckland area.
    Look forward to meeting & catching up with some of you Guys & Girls & go for a blast somewhere.

    Welcome mate, nice bike.
    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 to KB, Cant stand the XB12 myself but welcome anyway. I rode one for a while and found my arms went numb from the vibration and it didn't like going under about 120kph, maybe it was just that one...
    Enjoy the wierd and wonderful thing that is KB.

    hey dude, welcome to Kb! Nice to see another Buell rider and EVEN a Firebolt......waaaaayyy cool man!!
    So which one is it in your profile piccie, the red or black one?
    Mines ex-black, Harley racing colours now, plus a couple of other additions and removals.
    Aint it just the best bike? We must be almost outnumbering the lightnings by now think that is 3 of us Fireboltees on the forum.
