Where are they now?

Heeeeyyyyyy! Justin - long time no see. Must catch up. You still at AC? (I'm still at MH) Still on school holiday? Let's go for a ride before the education system sucks us back into the daily grind!

Now that sounds like a goer! Monday sounds like a good excuse to go out on a ride - mayhap a fellow rider will join us once he finishes his early shift! And yeup, still at the sphesul skool that is AC!

Must make the most of the last week!

Plenty of riding still going on Justin, ya just gotta know which day and where to meet up.
SATNR is! still going 7pm ride off from BP southern motorway by Papakura every Thursday night, the old hands are coming outa da woodwork recently.
Concussed and then a baby aye, seems a bit suspect that one, but Congrats and hope to see you out there and of course on a bike.
Ratbag says Hi!

Yes, I do recall the SATNR fondly - been a long time since I could actually get on one! SWMBO has declared a diktat at the moment, until bubba pops out, I need to stay close to home!

Forum sites bring strangers together. They become friends, then Facebook takes over as their preferred on-line socialisation media.

Sad fact of life. No way to stop it.

Three or four years ago KB had around 4,500 active members. Now it's almost half that. Par for the course.

The on-line socialisation world has changed since "the good old days of KB". Accept it and move on.

I actually miss the old KB ... So, what to do?

Bring back WINJA!

There is some comfort to be gained from the knowledge that newbies joining KB now, will be posting wistful "KB has changed" threads in five or ten years. People come and go, but some things never change.

What the 'effin bloom'n bloody 'eck? Cor lumme, seems this 'ere thread is a whacka-doodle gathering at the moment of ghosts-of-KB-past! Stone the flam'n crows!

'ee by gum, I was rock'n in my chair on me deck, tellin' th'neighbourhood larrikins to get orf' my lawn and this 'ere thread got me creakin' up and make me wave my stick atcha alls!

T'weren't like in my day!

Now leav'n me to my beauty sleep or I'll have your guts for garters begorrah!

Well MBB, it's like this - I got married, bought a house, got concussed for most of last year from a frisbee and now expecting a baby girl in March! During that time my poor bikes hardly got ridden! It's taken me 3 years to only do 44,000km on the Predator!

Dang, life is what happens when you are trying to ride your bikes!

As for KB, I've been lurking in the back (rather like when I was first learning to ride and just read the threads here!) Figures it takes you to bring me out and add a post now! (wait, that makes two now! )

Sounds like you've got a really great life mate, congrats on having a baby GI Joe (or Josephine) on the way - you're going to be an awesome dad. What was the deal with the frisbee? 44,000 k's is more than most of the clowns on here have ever ridden…

I've been traveling for work a fair bit, for a while I was back in NZ, then I was living between four cities (sunny nice places, where no one was shooting at me, for a change) - back in Auckland for a couple of months over summer while I pack up the house and sell a bunch of muscle cars - and then I'll be back in Sydney for more work.

Isn't it just where narcissists post photos of their lunch?

No you fool........ that's twitter
If you looking for flying lesions its Tinder.
If ya looking for photos of knobs and tits that's snapchat.
Facebooks for stalking people you are no longer friends with, because you stopped being their friend in real life when you realised they were arsesoles.
