[QUOTE=jrandom]Compared to your average UKRMer, most KBers are blinding rays of love and sunshine.

Must be the weather up there that makes the (UK) bikers such miserable grumpy cunts.


Er...excuse me jr? The words "statement" and "sweeping" come to mind.
I've met loads of fabulous, friendly, like minded folk whilst on organised trips, rallies and tours (through Bike Magazine for example)...all of which would grace these threads more than adequately.

here is a group in the states who seem to have a little community like KB, mind you it is just in our area not nationwide like KB

Well consider that that area may be about the size of the north island if not the whole country. Depends on wich bay area they are talking about, dont have the time right now to check.

(UK) bikers...

Er...excuse me jr? The words "statement" and "sweeping" come to mind.

The word "misinterpretation" comes to mind.

I didn't say 'UK bikers'.

I said 'UKRMers'.

Big difference.

[Edit: Hmm. No, I didn't, did I? I said 'bikers'. Point taken. I was, however, thinking of UKRMers, rather than the general population. As Mrs Random would say, "Well, *I* know what I meant!"]

My brother has been living in Canada for over 30yrs,but as he works for an airline I get to see him every few years,thats good because we are both into bikes.

In 2000 he came out,arriving on the tuesday,not quite being able to catch Paeroa,but went to the Puke Classics anyway (he's been to 2 Paeroa races) I had gone down that year and Picked up a spare XLV750 motor from Malcolm Kirkby,we arranged to meet there to do the deal,stripped the alt stator out and got my bike going on monday so I could show my brother my new bike...running.

So I drag the bike out of the shed when we get him home off the plane....one of the first things he says is - ''did you meet up with Malcolm?''....like...WHAAAAT!!???,how the HELL do you know Malcolm Kirkby and that I was going to see him on sunday? He has a Suzuki Turbo,and Malcolm is on the Turbo site forum and they had been talking and Malcolm put 2 &2 together that the guy with the XLV750 was the brother of the guy with the XN85....small world eh?

So that same year I am showing him around the bike shops and we go into what was Len Perry's old shop - my brother had served his apprenticship at the service station at the top of the hill (now a Repco) Len had owned the station at one time and we had both spent a lot of time in Len's place.So we were talking old times with the present owner and I said our next stop was to be Bob Haldanes - so my brother says - ''oh,so Bob's got a bike shop now has he?''...like....WHAAAT!!??,you haven't been in the county apart from short holidays for 30 years,and you say you know Bob Haldane,on first name terms? - ''Yeah,when Bob first came to this country he worked with us at the garage up on the hill there,he was great to work with,I remember him well.''

So we go into Haldanes,and Bob as usual is doing the tyres...as we walk in he looks over at us,stands up and keeps looking - ''Yeah,that's him'' says my brother.I say go over and talk to him,but my brother says ..''nah,he wouldn't remember me''....but I think Bob saw something familiar about the guy who walked into his shop....small world eh?
