    Smile Newbie just wanted to say HI (hitch)

    Hello everyone, my kids have grown a bit, I can now look at getting my bike license and my first road bike. Yeah . Something for me! I am about to sit my bike handling cert in a couple of weeks and off to look and hopefully get my first bike today. Oh yeah, woo hoo. Up untill now I have been on da back of a 1200 sporty - which has just been upgraded to a 1200 buell, its cool to be on the back - but even cooler bringing up the rear on my own. I hope to do lots and lots of k's. Hope to meet some really cool people here and read some good advise and get a laugh or two. Have a good one.

    Howdy Hitch! Welcome aboard! Sounds like you're a similar age & stage to me... just starting out on the big front-end adventure.

    By the way you can legally ride on the back end of a 1200... that's 600 for you and 600 for your chauffeur. Share & share alike I say.
    There is no such thing as bad weather; only inappropriate clothing!

    Hi Hitch

    Welcome to KB - they are really friendly towards us newbies.

    I am a newbie too, redid the handling test today, got my learners in 2003, had a fall and haven't touched a bike since, except for being pillion.

    Getting my bike next week, really looking forward to it!

    All the best

    yeah, what she said!

    I found KB due to Crashe (thanks again!) and I still havent met her/him (?)in person but feel like I know them, cos KB is awesomely friendly. All of you should go on the 250 rides, it's great for meeting people and having a fun ride.

    One of you is from South Auckland right? The rides leave from Botany so are perfect for us newbies from the South and East.

    Welcome to Kiwi Biker. Take care how you use that handle of yours. The BDOTGNZA are watching.
