Good afternoon everyone. Thought I would jump on here and introduce myself to you all as a new member to this site

I'm a 30yr old architect living in Auckland...Been living in the UK prior to moving to NZ 7 years ago.
I haven't owned a bike since I had a nasty about 12 years ago but have occasionaly gone for a ride to let all the frustration out.
I am now ready to own another and rejoin this social circle.
Hope I can be welcomed into the community.

Cheers

Welcome to KB, I've only been a member for a couple of weeks now but have gained a wealth of information, from insurance to mechanical to general motorcycle knowledge. All styles and ages on here........plenty of dribble too....... welcome.

Welcome aboard indeed. Hope you get a set of wheels soon. What sort of ride are you thinking of aquiring? Have you got your full etc?

Hope to see you out there soon buddy. What part of Auckland do you reside in, some good rides through Club 250 on KB. We're out east. Had a wee tootle today (and a bin - nothing major). It's all good if you and the bike are okay enough to tootle off and lick your wounds.

Lots of ex UK residents out here, I lived there for 6+ years myself, met hubby there (McJim) and moved back here to raise the weeins. Funny I got home sick for NZ when I was there, and I'm home sick for the UK at times now.

Rock on and happy riding matey

Thanks for the messages

At this stage I am having an issue with the AA attaining my full license. I have had a full license (from Dubai) for 13 years now. The only copy I have of it is an expired international one (car as well)
When I first moved here I used that to convert to an NZ license but car only. Now I am kicking myself for not doing bike as well. So I might have to go down the 250cc track till I am big and strong enough to ride a decent powered bike.
My options are open at this stage really. RGV, RS and the Hyosung are the three top contenders at the moment.
