Well... the unofficial official name of 'South Island Kiwibiker Head quaters' seemed to just be what my joint became known as
Now for those that dont know were it is well its on the Main North rd Belfast and theres no way in hell ya can ever miss it (always bikes for miles)
Now I'm on the move ya see so this convenient spot is not going to be a bike oasis any more.
Its been a very cool place to have lived the last 6yrs with bikers pulling over for a chat and to stretch their legs, from people I have never meet too KB riders passing through and or staying. Such famous names like White Trash, Deno and Flame too southern riders like Scumdog and his bimbo, hell a couple of Dorklanders even dropped in for a night with the Kiwibiker flag.
Just tonight as I was washing the truck some old stick on a mint CB500 waved out as he went sailing on past... fuk knows who he was, dont care he was a kiwibiker of some sort.
The place got its name I expect due to rides being organised from here and social functions like BBQ's and piss ups at what has become known as the local KB watering hole Harringtons next door (going to need a new one of them too i guess)
The HQ has been home for many a different KB bikes and rooms were often a shortage hence why Manuboys SV ended up in the Kitchen and Thunders K4 in the lounge.
Its not uncommon to find a KBers bike being worked on in the garage or a new friend being made over a beer from my always well stocked fridge.
So for those that randomly drop in or toot in wave as ya pass, dont bother as I wont be here any longer.. but coming very soon there will be another very Bike friendly hang out with even better accomodation and even better storage and working facilitys, my spelling will still be as shit as ever and the beers still cold, but it wont be on this noisie polluted stretch of state highway one.
Heres a few pics from the good old days.
