    My first thread. Hi all.

    Hello everyone.

    This is my first visit to this forum, I was kindly introduced by a customer who I happened to service while at work today. Thankyou sels1

    I little about myself and my bike...

    I have owned two bikes, my first being a 2005 GN250 which I purchased new. I was over the GN is one week and wanted something more so I looked around and eventually bought a FZR-R 250. I love it. It handles alot better although it still has the better of me. I'm not overly confident which is why I was so happy to be introduced to this site where I'm sure I can meet more experienced riders.

    I believe motorcycles is all about cornering, its the one thing I want to master!

    Thanks again, I hope i get to know lots of you.

    Howdy y'all and welcome. I'd be interested to know what outfit you're at. I was out the Hutt today at the Hoonda shop 'Motomart' and although I'm not in a position to buy as yet the salesman there was really helpful - even let me burn my ass on on of the bike seats outside!

    I'm glad the manager wasn't around to see it.

    Welcome aboard. The Welly crew are a fairly active bunch and Im sure Sens1 would have told you about the TRTRN is you can make it on Thursdays its a good place to meet some fellow KBers.
    May the road rise up to meet you.

    No no no, you got the wrong idea mate. Should your boss question what you're doing, you're simply offering mobile business solutions... You have to think outside the square Err, if the boss questions you further, tell him/her you're discussing which PDA fits bet on a bike
