Hello Kiwibikers

So I'm intern, not sure why I have that handle, think it was because I chose the first 6 letters of 'internet' when I first signed up for 'the internet' sometime back in the 1990s. Anyways, I live in Ohope, I'm a Saffer well on the way to becoming a Nu Zullunder (can't want for citizenship, though I will have to - another 2 years to go).
Inasmuch as motorbikes are concerned, I had a 1981 GSX750 as my first bike, moved on to a 1984 FJ1100, then stopped riding bikes altogether in 1998. Recently, browsing through TradeMe and reminiscing resulted in the snap purchase of a RF900 and a subsequent episode with the wife which involved me looking sheepish and hanging my head a lot. Fortunately she's a forgiving sort and after seeing the bike, she demanded I get a second helmet so she can come with for a ride.
Anyways, looking forward to interacting with you all. I've tried to stick a pic of what has already become my new 'pride and joy' below, not sure if I got it right or not.
Cheers

Smokin' hot? Just what I thought

I used to laugh my ass off at the depths to which George Foreman had plunged after his career as a pugilist...until I looked into how much he made from that ridiculous grill. Try $150-million.

Proof that Americans will buy almost anything if a celebrity televises it!
