    Yip, welcome to this forum. Hope you enjoy it.

    I was thinking of going to akaroa on saturday morning if it is sunny. Haven't had a decent ride for a week or so, need some good twisties.

    If anyone wants to tag along feel free.

    ... and I used to love it when it snowed up there, on the dirt bike of course.

    p.s. I had no comment about the bikes in that pic I posted on the first page so I presume no-one on here owns them.
    Cheers

    Ok, thats sweet. Don't know if i will go now, with only 1 main fairing. I was wanting to get back in time for the V8's on saturday and sunday. So maybe next weekend? Hopefully i can get my fairings fixed by then.

    Just bought a scruffy $400 dollar XJ550 off trade me and clocked up 1300km up in the North Island where I picked it up,gotta do the fork seals before I do much more though.
