Better make myself known to K.B,

Born and bred in the Bay. Did a bit of riding when I was a young fella back in the day but after 20 odd years in the "wilderness" (driving a car) I finally took the plunge and purchased me a motorbike...which I must say is all due to my most understanding wife!! Only been back on two wheels for 8 days and have already clocked up 1500kms on the new Kawacka!!! With summer just around the corner looking forward to hooking up with some of you and taking part on some awesome rides around our beautiful country!

Looking forward to posting on K.B and always whiling to learn and listen to those with knowledge and experiance.

Cheers and "control the right hand!!!"

Well done Tonka - funny how wives hold the purse strings eh?

See you on the road, I spend a lot of time in the BOP on business and riding the bike.

Hi Tonka ... welcome. I laughed re your wife's kind permission. As an older woman rider I can only say "Good on her ".
I am waiting on a k'saki myself - so good choice too !!
Enjoy.

Gudday fellow biker - sounds like you are having a ball on your new two wheels of freedom! Congrats and kudos to your missus for being so understanding! And keep clocking those km's up! The more the merrier! (Had my bike nine weeks and done 12500kms on it so far! Fark - need to do an overhaul on it soon!)

welcome to the site

Hey Team, thanks for the welcome! Its most appreciated and I certainly will keep a wary eye on my right hand (and roundabouts - cheers slimjim)!! Static I am a resident of the "overpriced" BOP town of Whakatane....at least I am only a hop, skip and a jump away from the Coro loop and the East Cape run.

Let the long days of summer roll on!!

Stay smooth
