Hi all,
Just getting back into riding after a 20 year break and having done the family thing. Yes I know, far to long so to catch up I've picked up a SV1000 suzuki to make up for lost time.
Most of my early riding was done on trail bikes then many years moto crossing till on day I had one of those crashes that puts you out for a while, then other things come along, and you loose touch. During this time I also had a couple of RD350 yamahas (air cooled) which were great fun.Man have tyres come a long way since then!
Because of being a shift worker I am able to make use of the Rimutukas with some of my work mates mid week and look foward to trips futher afield in the future.
I am a brother Sels1 so caught up with some of you at Lake ferry last weekend.Great ride thanks guys.
Wayne.

yeah welcome aboard,me from welly 25yrs , had 3- 350RD, and know the rimutakas very will.

I'm sure it's a great place to live up there, but it aint exactly stimulating road-wise is it?


Oh, Nearly forgot.... Gidday Wayne. It's great to see you didn't listen to yer bro & buy a Tigger.

Well, the Paekak Hill can be fun, and theres this neat gravel road that that heads into the hills - oh but wait - yr bike wouldnt handle that....

Hey ya Wayne
A few of us here in that boat, returning after a few years out of it.
The tyre comment is so true, I still can't get over how fat/wide they get considering in our day a rear tyre was close to the size of todays fronts!

Waterfall Rd? Off SH1 just north of McKays? Great fun in a RWD cage. No freakin way in hell would I want to ride my lardsickle up there though. Besides, I'm not allowed in Pram anymore, long story.

Actually I was watching you pull into the Summit carpark on Sunday morning. You sure do chuck that thing around don't ya! Like a bucking bronco I thought.

Good on you mate. you missed a rematch out to Ferry on Sunday. Your Bro showed up though. whats going on with that?

fuck, didn't read your first post properly. Were you there Sunday? I'm useless with faces. Tits, arses and bikes, well thats a different matter, but faces, can't remember them at all. Didn't notice your bike, tits or arse there?

Hey Wayne, welcome to our crazy world! Was nice to meet you on Sunday, will hopefully see your round a bit more.

Welcome to the site Wayne!

Yes, tyres have come a huge way forward in 20 years!!!

[Unit:Me]

Good choice of bike my friend. Just run mine in and loven it. Hope to get down your way sometime, but if your tempted to the other end of the Island, give us a yell, we'll show ya the roads, Norfland style.
