    Talking It's official...I'm a biker again!

    Alright, so I haven't got the beard, the worn down leathers or the dark wrap-arounds, but I do have myself a 2k Honda VTR250 in the garage downstairs. Yes!!!!!!

    So background-wise, I'm in my high 30's and have been wanting to scratch this itch since I sold my last bike around 15 years back to conincide with my OE. Got back to NZ and had to have a cage for work, then got a desk job and got myself a scooter (Bug Bandit - highly recommended). The SWMBO has finally let me get a little more freedom between my legs (not in THAT way), so here I am, the newest "official" Kiwi Biker.

    Glad to meet you all, and heres to a "drop-free" next few years!

    Good on ya Krayy.

    Plenty of us in our mid to late 30s on KB!!!
    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.

    Congrats Krayy, they're a nice looking bike, and actually manage to pull off being bright yellow.

    Myself and a few others here have done the ride safe course you mentioned, and it's well worth the effort.

    Congrats on the new bike. Looks very nice in yellow. Just need a bigger pic to see it better. Happy riding Just remember the two round black things stay facing the ground.

    yeehaar, good to hear another person of my vintage has joined the ranks, I totally relate to getting back into bikes after a good long stretch bikeless etc, it is so therapuetic to get on a bike and forget about everything except the road, just magic, you won't regret getting a bike again, but I guarantee it won't be long before you up the cc rating lol!! welcome

    Hi Krayy: welcome to the KB site. A great place to visit.

    Being frustrated is disagreeable.

    But the real disasters in life begin when you get what you want.
