    Welcome to the nuthouse Liz.
    Plenty of oldies around this place just getting started/back into bikes again so don't let it worry you. There's bound to be some local rides your way. Have fun on your GN .

    HI and welcome! Keep an eye on the "Ladies of Wellington/Wairarapa...." thread (here's the link: http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...d.php?t=39652). Looks like another ride is being cooked up in there.

    The last ladies ride was excellent - looking forward to meeting you!

    (PS - I'm also in the Hutt area (Eastbourne) if you ever want a riding buddy!)

    Plenty of older bikers returning to the fold on here. Welcome! But don't feed the trolls...

    Welcome Liz. Plenty of mature riders on GN250s here.

    Check out Buckbuck's training blog here for a great read on the subject and a lot of good tips.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    You are never too old to start again and I reckon a GN is as good a way as any. Welcome from yet another old phart
