    Newbie on a loud Magna

    Well after this weekends "trip" to show off my bike to a mate in Henderson, I’m now on my 3rd official ride! (i don't count the 15min took me to get home via back roads when i bought the bike as i didn't have a licence then).
    With licence in my pocket & L’oser plate attached to the saddle bag its any excuse to get on it, unfortunately as a builder those saddle bags just aint quite big enough and the dropsaw wont fit in my backpack (yet) so it just can’t be a daily commuter but bring on the weekends and summer!!
    -if only I could find a way to carry my mountain bike then i would only need the car during the week…..

    Anyway I've been skimming though this site for a while and found a wealth of info/advice and would just like to say thanks to all those willing to impart their knowledge and time for us newbie’s.

    Cheers!
    You'll hear me before ya see me!!

    As a recent arrival myself I know exactly what you're talking about. Welcome and enjoy. After the weekend just gone, summer is definitely close

    Any chance you rode near auckland central/ Mt Eden/ Epsom? I saw many Intruders and Magna these days... one of em could be you lol

    Anyways, welcome to the site. Wanna come to our weekly Wednesday Night Ride? Its called NASS (North Auckland Street Safe, was it?)

    If you are keen, just ask


    If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.

    Gidday Mate,
    Same as you, newbie biker and really happy to have found the KB family. Great bunch of guys and gals.
    Dont worry about the L plate. I have one myself and we all had to learn somewhere. You'll find 99.999% of bikers out there will look out for you if they see you on the road.
    ......and the yellow colour matches my mother-in-law's eyes, so she's happy.
    Welocme and enjoy mate, happy riding.
    Take care, ride safe and eat pies

    Hey there,

    I hear you...being fairly new to riding myself. I count even the 2 hours after the ride I spend in the garage reminising about the 10 minute ride or so I went on lol
