Welcome faredce.
We are a mixed bunch here, ie various ages and interests, but we all seem to get along quite well. And there is always room for more

A good way to meet some of us is to keep an eye on this thread as it is often used to organise get togethers of the riding and/or socialising kind. Have fun and hope to meet you soon

nah im a 3rd year student im doing an BSc majoring in human anatomy and structural biology...hope ur impressed ladies tend to be haha jk (sadly).
information services?? not quite sure where that is?
i know there are always heaps of bikes outside the anat department opposite the hospital.
i will most defininatly keep an eye owt and keep myself updated with the happenings of other dunedin riders so i can pop round for a ride or three.
have u guys ever tried organising similar setup like the whangarei ppl do every thursday or anytime during the week or are we a bit to diverse in jobs etc
iv been here three years and still have no idea of any good riding routes to take (feel free to insert appropriate suggestions here...) want to test the claimed ability of "throwing the aprilia rs125 around corners" worse come to worse it only weighs 114kg so im sure with the help of a mate throwing could definatly b a last resort lol....
by the way i work at kfc on gt king street. ill be the guy wearing the fasionable name tag that says "david" tue wed and thur nights so keep that in mind if anything pops up ...wow i feel like i just suggested all riding is now revolving round me apolagies for that lol

We don't have a regular mets "like every thursday"... not really enough of us and with work, other comittments, weather, especially during the winter months, there might only be one person turn up...

The OMCC have regular rides once month, and all are welcome. If only a few turn up then decide a ride and go... other times there might be quite a few depends on whether there is a race met on the weekend or not...

Round the mountain, over macreas flat, into middlemarch, and back to Dunedin... or over the pennisula, or up over the old road out of Dunedin ... A day trip down the catlins, or into roxburgh, alexandra...

depends on how big or small a day ride you want...

**faredce** · 17th February 2008, 17:31

**NighthawkNZ:Me** · 17th February 2008, 18:02

**faredce** · 17th February 2008, 18:10

Quasimoto (also a kb member) supplies well priced good gear. And if what he sends you doesn't fit properly, you can return it for another size (provided its in new condition of course)
