Hi Folks ..

Joined this awsome site today. Im 30 with 3 gorgeous kids .. Iv always loved Motorcycles .. it started with BMX racing and then I loved watching and attending local Motorcross Meets when I was younger and have a particular softspot for the Triumph as I have seemingly grown older,however, I never learned to ride! Always the spectator. TRAGIC. So .. things in life change and now its time I learned .. Im pretty much at my starting point .. have met two wonderful ladies in this site who have given me some fantastic starting point suggestions ... Im really keen to learn. So any helpful hints or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Youd think I would have picked up a few things along the way but I feel like a motorcycle virgin .. entering new territory

lol .. anyway .. watch this space xxx

Welcome to the Site.

Hawera aye?
Never stay at the Rembrandt Motel, noisy Milk Tankers keep you up all night.

Hi Fire-eyes, welcome to KB.

One of our active lady members "Shazz" lives in Hawera and works at Morriesons Cafe ... where she agitated the council for and won a bike park outside. "Ynot Slow" also lives in Sth Taranaki.

Furthermore (comma) the Herceptin Awareness/Protest ride with a whole lot of KBers will be calling at the cafe for afternoon tea about 3pm on Thursday March 6th. They're starting in Welly and staying NP that night. They'd love to have people join them

Will try to join the ride,might go from Waverley and stop off in Hawera,circumstances permitting.Bring on the cheesecake

For those wanting time from Hawera to NP allow 50 mins,can get busy after 4.30 or so ,but not to bad traffic wise.
