Doubled her value by adding paint and tidying her up. (The bike not the misses). Did the BHT with Roadsafe on Wellington Anniversary, and then the scratchy the next day.

Hang on, was that you at my BHST? I remember a CBX, I was the guy with the RG150.

Would love to come along but I'm on call and the bike doesn't have anywhere to plug in the laptop. Also, I don't think the wife would appreciate me disappearing for most of the night as it's also my daughter's birthday. I value my testicles to much.

Hi Jamezo, yes the same guy.. having spent years and years and years in a cage I've finally got onto a bike. Misses was never keen and for family reason's have never pushed it. Now the kids are getting a bit older and petrol has increased so much, misses finally agreed. I bought a TZR250 on Trademe within 10 mins of her agreement. Unfortunately when I went to pick it up it was not as described so came away without it.. Mentioned it to a guy in work who said he had the CBX for sale. Not quite a TZR but it has got me on the road. First step over. She has even said it will do me until I get my full so I can get something better. I think my wife has been replaced by an alien....but I'm not complaining.

Hey there Swift,
Welcome from one noob to another, yeah strange thing about wives is they can be quite understanding of the bike bug.

I'm back into riding too after a long stretch in a cage and only a dirt bike for company (occasionally). I'm looking for my first road rider to get me through the L year.

See ya on the black top bud
