Your best biking memory?

[Lissa]

Mine would be the first time I rode up the Rimutakas, and seeing how easy it really was. I was amazed at how quiet and still it was except for the sound of the engine and the occasional falling rock or stone. And also scraping my boot a few times on the GN.

was that on the top road?
Thats my old stomping ground, that is.

No idea. It was over 25 years ago. I remember leaving the last few houses then opening it out a bit. Can remember going up a rise, cresting the top, seeing the Pacific Ocean and at the same time noticing the road rapidly disappearing from in front of me.

My first ever time riding. Inappropriate clothing flapping all over the place, wind whistling around the borrowed open face helmet. Good times.

Knee down for the first time, is also pretty high up there too.

For me it's most times I go out on the bike.

Most memorable has to be on a 50cc 2 stroke moped on the Ayrshire coast (Scotland) just after the potato harvest riding the moped like a dirt bike with the arse sliding left and right and chucking up mud - that was in 1982 I think.

I like riding the bike...a lot.

My first ride down to Wellywood and meeting up with the KB crew down there. Simpy mind-blowing and the ride meet just left me in awe. All those bikes parked around the square and the humourous incidents getting there (cows, mysterious turn-offs and lovely riding country).

Riding back up to Dorkland and having to thaw out at Waiouru, teeth chattering and riding out of the bad weather into the greatest, sunniest and cloud-free day ever.

Still hanging out to ride back down Wellyway again ASAP!

don't forget the great Colapop encounter :P

Best moment... chasing OABs old GSXR750 up past Murchison on my ZX6R

Seeing 155MPH and still accelerating in 5th gear on my 00' Gixxer 750 on the A303 in Wiltshire UK in the Summer of 2004. I had the road to myself and was grinning from ear to ear all the way down it.
