Not that I saw anything of you out on the road it was good having you back on a group ride too, here's hoping to see you out there during summer, been missing a few people out on the rides to be fair, last night was good.

i concur

t'was great to just be cruising in that mid evening sun and actually enjoy a few corners with the usual suspects as opposed to getting endlessly fucked off with idiot car drivers on the way to and from work every fekkin day

Gidday Fellas - how are you doing? Haven't been around for quite a while, only been back in Palmy since earlier this year. Have been bikeless (well road-bikeless anyway) for the last couple of years. Was aim to get another roady by this summer and so looking around for a cheap sports bike.

Have a quick question re bike shops in Palmy - gee the situation has changed so much since 07 - what bike shops do you use/recommend for mechanicing? At this stage just thinking in terms of pre-sale inspection for any prospective bikes, particularly as they'll be older ones.

Hope to get out again with you soon!

crickey your not wrong there last Time I seen you was after a rather quick trip too Gisborne.....Welcome back to village yes not much has changed...Yod is still convinced he has the best bike on earth

city honda is always good never had a problem there or you could try garry and neil at PNM in the back of the old phil turnbals..meanie will say AFC others will say Anza but we shouldn't talk about flying instructors like that

or you could get some of your local KB'rs too look just stay away from that cowboy fella that has a ZX9 he's bad news

fuck, i didn't even get round to seeing what it was like, very bad time to get into that buisness though I suppose.

+1 for city honda, though I do my own mechanicing, but they're good for tyres wofs parts etc, good customer service too i reckon
