Welcome to the site! Ignore (or enjoy) the bollocks and there's alot of good information to be gleaned.

Have fun on the road!

Welcome aboard!

best advice I can give you off the bat - get out to a few events and meet the real people, and if you're new to riding, do a track day or two.

Oh - and don't take any of the abuse too personally.

Have fun

Thanks,

That sounds like good advice. I belong to a Celica GT4 forum aswell so i'm accustomed to the odd bit of 'bollocks' and abuse.

Not to worry- I give as good..no..better, than i get

Hi Gen, you must be bracing yourself for an onslaught of abuse from what previous posters have warned, good god!!
Welcome to KB, enjoy your bike and ride safe out there.

**Bend-it** · 13th March 2009, 13:07

Aha... girlracer turned biker...

I used to drive a 2l turbo 4wd as well... Mitsi.

Bike are more fun!

and more dangerous... be careful on the road and wear good gear.

Yeah i love my 4 but it only manages a 13.6 on the 1/4 mile. I need more speed!!

Thank you for all your warm welcomes and warnings of potential harassment

If anyone knows of some good deals on riding gear, let me know!

Cheers

Hi Genevieve, You are quite safe as unless I have got something good to say I don't say it you will have to forgive my spelling to as I am a shocking speller. But there is good advise here and I am sure that you will benefit from being on this forum. Vern

most shops do good deals on a complete set, I got a set of cordura jacket, pants, gloves and boots for $550 when I 1st started biking, about 4 (I think) years ago.

or www.qmoto.co.nz is run by a regular here and has excellent gear at a lower price than the big names like alpinestars, dainese etc.

Don't buy a 2nd-hand helmet as you don't know if it's been dropped before.

Just looked, and nutz. this is a good price!
