    New to the thrill

    Hey, brand new to the forums, and brand new to riding as well... had my first actual bike ride last wednesday on my friends farmbike, and had another ride yesterday. I really love riding now, and I hate my cage. Hoping to get my licence soon, sell my cage, and then get a Suzuki GSX250.

    Hope to meet some Hamilton riders sometime, even though I'll still be trapped in a cage for a while

    Howdy Y'all and villcommen. The site has many nuts about twice as many as a bar full of bikers. Enjoy the ride the scenery is free.
    GSX's are good little bikes, just be aware they are addictive.....
    They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old.
    Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
    At the going down of the sun and in the evening,
    we will remember them

    Hi, welcome. Go do a one day "zero to learners" course somewhere then go fishing for bikes. LOTS of 250's on the market at the moment

    Hey mate welcome to the site
    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

    Be careful on KB. It's more addictive than actually riding
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Ever notice that anyone slower than you is an idiot, but anyone going faster is a maniac?

    Thanks for all the welcomes... and yes, i'm finding these KB forums damn addictive... spent about 5+ hours on them today

    Arggh.... just need to save some money and get my licence, and then get rid of my stupid big slow cage and buy a bike, then I'll be happy

    My first ride (last wednesday), i was a bit nervous, driving around on my friends farm, and the back road he lives on in Te Kauwhata (north of Huntly), but yesterday, my 2nd ride was so much better... got fully into it, was practicing all the BHS things i read about, especially the weaving bit... GOD BIKING ROCKS!!!!
