    Hey, I'm new to KB. (MomentoMori)

    Hiya, just wanted to quickly introduce myself to the forum, my name's Steph and I was referred to here by fellow pom,
    m99dws. (there, was that alright? haha)

    My family has just moved over from outside Birmingham, to Feilding as my mum's a kiwi and wanted to come home after 27 years over there.

    Unfortunately, it woulda cost about a grand... that's about, just under $3000 to send my ER-5 over and all my bike gear's in transit atm so I'm bikeless and it's horrible.

    Anyway, this country is awesome. The people are so friendly, i'm just not used to it lol, and the roads are just incredible.

    So I look forward to integrating into this forum and hopefully won't whinge too much.

    Thanks,
    Steph.

    Welcome.

    Yes. I bear it in mind. But, hopefully, not just yet.

    Some good roads near Fielding!

    We came back from the UK almost 2yrs back; takes a while to settle in, but give it time...and meet as many KBrs as you can!

    Gonna be in Palmy at Xmas, will you have the bike by then?
    Someone down Palmy way should arrange a meet/ride around Xmas time

    Oh, and welcome.

    Cool

    Kia ora and welcome to New Zealand and to KB.

    Fielding is a nice little town...... yet also close to Palmerston North.

    Hope your bike gear doesnt take too long to arrive..... as now is the time to be out there riding as summer is almost upon us.

    Welcome to the site. My mum was a Fielding girl..
    If you love it, let it go. If it comes back to you, you've just high-sided!
