    By way of introduction.......

    I was 'linking' on the net (as you do sometimes) and I came upon this site. I entered, looked around and decided to stay after I found I kept coming back here. Nice to find a site for KBers.

    Im new at this so......by way of introduction for those interested....I live in West Auckland, I got my full liscence 5yrs ago, rode for 2, got binned big time as the 'pillion', spent 2 years recovering, swore I would NEVER ride again. Well I never say never anymore. Got the bike this year and got the leg over ......and Im off again!

    Started on the GN250, on to the 400 Katana, then the VFR750. Now the Kawasaki er500. Sat on a Ducati 900M/S today and fell in love

    I was wondering out of interest how many other female KB'rs there are on this site?(I've 'seen' a few) AND how many riders there might be at my 'level' of riding? Neither a beginner nor an experienced rider, yet! I would like to met some people to ride with if any one is interested, you know, get the confidence up, meet new friends sort of thing.....

    TTFN

    Welcome to our madhouse, Ms Bear. Your Kawasaki is a classy piece of kit (as of course are all Kawasakis) and makes me wonder why other manufacturers don't offer 500s in New Zealand.

    Anyway, I look forward to your future contributions!!

    Hi there and welcome in to this very interesting forum were you can talk bikes or anything non bikes.
    Tell me why did you go from a VFR750 (which year was it?) to the 500? as for me the VFR is the best 4cyl you can get, mind you the 500 is a twin is it not? and twins are better than a 4 any day
    cheers DD

    Its a long story but in a nutshell I got the VFR (1986?) at the same time I got busted up and I never wanted to ride again so I sold it. The Kwaka is a twin, inline twin and this one is abit of a sleeper. Gives me confidence to ride and shes not heavy for me to manage.And it was the right price!

    Hi Gummybear. Welcome to KB. We're a pretty good bunch really, there's heaps of knowledge and information to be had here, along with lots of laughs!! And there's quite a few of us girls here too.

    And yes, I'm with MD: it is an unwritten rule on any ride that I organise that we have compulsory coffee/chat/food stops. What else is there in life other than bikes/coffee/chat/food? Oh yeah, I guess there's guys......specially in (or out of!) leather.

    Being frustrated is disagreeable.

    But the real disasters in life begin when you get what you want.

    Welcome Gummybear,

    I am also a recent KBer (now that I know what that means) and also out WestAuck. There seems a large contigent out that way. Good to see that you got back up on that horse.
