    Gidday from up north (fj20_180b)

    Just a quick hello to you all.

    I'm Sam from Kerikeri, just got a black 2004 R1, after not having a bike for a few years. A big step up for me, so just easing into it at the moment.

    To any of you around the Bay of Islands, you should see me commuting for work, Okaihau - Kerikeri most days, or cruising around Keri during my lunch break. If you do, give me a wave or say hi.

    I'm sure i'll show up on here from time to time with some questions

    Cheers

    Welcome to KB dude

    Some people are only alive because it is illegal to shoot them.

    Take it easy getting back into it! Especially with such a powerful bike.

    oh for sure. I've had the occasional ride on a z650, and been on a few motocross bikes not so long ago... had a zxr 250 years ago. although nothing compares to the R1, never experienced the front wheel starting to lift at 200 before

    Do you really live near Horeke? I LOVE your local pub! Lovely part of the world alright.
    There is no such thing as bad weather; only inappropriate clothing!

    Welcome Sam. Hopefully hoodz, ej, spinfx or akuma make an appearance in this thread shortly. They all live in the Kerikeri area also and I'm sure they'd love to catch up for a ride.

    Yes! i'm 1.5km from the horeke pub - go past it everyday. I love it too, its my local. I'm up by the methodist mission house. It is really nice there, i hope you got the tour of the restaurant, and it also does accomodation now, the rooms are right on the water.

    PM me if your ever heading back to the Horeke pub (or anyone else)
