It aint about the type of bike/scooter/trike/outfit, it's about the riders.

I agree with Lee. They can have their own forum for their own purposes. Up to them to use it. Many of our issues as motorcyclists are also theirs.

KiwiBiker site is big enough for all isn't it?

Well, for mine, the first motorised two-wheeler I ever rode was my dad's '65 Vespa. It was fun for a ten year old, so maybe I never would have got keen on bikes if I didn't try it out. But I haven't ridden one for years, and I don't really mind them, so I guess I'm a don't care...

I'm not sure that a dedicated forum is necessary but it couldn't hurt i guess. I like the idea of all sorts on all sorts of machinery having a laugh & a chat about stuff. It seems to be mostly sportsbike riders at the moment which is a shame. it'd be great to hear from 'other sides' so to speak.

Two wheels and a motor is two wheels and a motor. To limit yourselves to anything with in that is foolish. I will ride anything and have fun doing it, otherwise you might as well just be another brand name enthusiast. Without the feedback and support from and by all those who live a two wheeled lifestyle, we are weaker as a group.

We a very like minded individuals i think after hearing this.
but my new bike has a horrible tendancy to loose traction on the gravel/grass - should i fit knobblys?

Yeah,knobs are fun on the road - street tyres are not fun off road.

Don't like the idea, but it is up to the members to decide.

At least that was my understanding on the matter. There are plenty of NZ riders who start on a scooter (yea but I was eight) and are likely to continue to something bigger.

I say yes one day they mine buy a real bike

Vespa's are cool...

But overall, fuck I hate scooters

Can we have a hairdryer section as well please. At least they're more powerful.
Grrrrr. I'm such a man cos I ride a big fat juicy one.

Give them a room ya tight sod. Providing that is that we get the bandwidth/capacity issue sorted first. It'd really drive me muckin fental if I have to wait any longer to load some pages (which appears to be getting worse and worse by the way) while some young spotty hooligans (as opposed to middle aged, wrinkled, numbskulls, well me at least) hog this sites pipes.

I really should learn to speed read better, thought it was a request for a "Scroter Forum"

I say let them join. give us someone else to heckle beside each other. Plus its fun to roll up next to them at a traffic light and have them reving thier engine like mad just to try to hear it over mine at idle

and then tease them about it on here.
