'From Russia with luv' (Kirill357)

[Kirill357]

Hi guys and gals.
After being in NZ for about 1.5 year and reading KB forums for about a year I decided to check for anyone russian in new members section and didnt find anyone.

So.. I'm 24 years old guy, bought my first bike here in NZ it was Suzuki FXR150, guy who sold it to was kind enough to drive to my place, coz that time I didnt know how to drive bike at all, never in my life before. And I started to learn here straight away. Fortunatelly I had my motorcycle licence from Russia (how I got it without driving bike is another story but to cut short, my driving licence was a 18 birthday present from my father and when I went to the police they asked me what kind of licence I want and I said, A and B, which is for bike and car yeah that was possible but not anymore, of course I could not possibly imagine that it can be soo useful coz due to Moscow awful weather and drivers, I should add, - biking is suicidal). Anyway after couple of month of fun I finally converted it to the NZ full and bought Honda CBR600 '92 yellow and purple 'Smokin Joe Racing' which I'm driving till now.

So now my duty is done.

Hi Kirill357. Welcome on board.
Enjoy the 600, and maybe also get hooked up with some local riders for a get together/ride.
Just a slight vocab correction. Motorcyclists "ride", not drive. Not having a whinge, just a bit of friendly advise.

Nice to see a comrade on the forums. I'm from Moscow too but I haven't been back for ages. Maybe I should hop on a plane and get my license back in Moscow as well :P. Screw waiting another 6 months for a full.

Too bad you are in Auckland, could go for a ride otherwise.

Speaking of friendly "advice". This is the correct spelling. "Advise" is a verb, (as in "I advise you to get it right.")

And even further... Welcome, how long have you been speaking English?

[Kirill357]

I would say for the last 1.5 year, before it wasnt much of speaking, no real practice
