New In Christchurch....ride with me! (trump-lady)

**trump-lady** · 21st February 2007, 13:03

Hi all. My name is Tanya and Im the proud owner of a triumph sprint. I have been back from usa for 2 months. Bought my bike (was riding in states on katana 750 for a year) on the 8th of feb and took off to the harley rally in auckland on 11th. A group me, dad and 4 of his friends traveled the north for 2 weeks. I forgot how beautiful my country is! We did 4000 ks and had a great time except......... I hit shingle and layed her down. Bit of road rash, panniers saved my leg and about 3000 damage to fairings. I snaped my back brake and had to ride 4 hours with none.....quite a challange on north island roads. Anyways Im back in Christchurch, Halswell, not working and bored. Ill ride anytime anywhere and was thinking of perhaps going to Kiakora for a couple days camping on the bike. Really just looking for an excuse to ride. I dont know anyone else who rides and riding with dad at my age 30 is getting boring lol. So if anyones bored or wanna maybe ride to akoroa just because we can..............please hit me up

I consider myself a newbie with experience hehehehe.

Would love to. Any excuse for a ride but can't as I am stuck at work in the Waikato. Mind you I sell Motorcycles so I can think of a lot worse jobs to be doing. Hope you get some good riding in. Next time you are up this way look us up at Waikato Yamaha.

Look out for rides in the meetings thread. In a couple of weeks a few locals are off the the March Hare rally in Waimate they won't mind if you wanna tag a long. Will look out for you on a ride sometime.
