Hello and thank you. (ChocolateWheels)

[Choco]

Though I have never posted before and you have never seen or even talked to me, I wish to thank every one of you.

Over the last few months I have been floating around your forums learning about the biking world. You have answered all my queries, persuaded me to get my license, helped me decide on a bike and today, buy that bike. You guys have such a huge collection of motorbike knowledge on this website that I haven’t NEEDED to ask you guy’s questions because they were already answered.

So after many, many hours of research, the parent’s approval, getting a part time job and then spending most of my money, I paid the deposit for my first bike (2006 GN250 with top box, Pirelli front tire and 1000km on the clock) from Holeshot Motorcycles. Then I kitted myself self with some Spyke Gear and a helmet from Cycletrends and ending up spending just over three grand. Come Saturday next week I will be the sole owner of my new (used) bike.

All this would not have been possible without your site.

So thanks again and I hope that once I have gained some experience I will be able to join you guys on a ride. Also, hopefully I will be able to get off the newbie questions and get to some creative posting.

Yours sincerely
Mike.

If you see someone on a black GN with a hopefully very visible red jacket on (why is it so hard to find cheap, non-black clothing? You can’t see it half the time, especially when it’s dark.) around the north shore. That’s probably me.

Yeah yeah all of that but what the piss taking? some of us are very knowledgeable in that department.....welcome to KB and allow me to endorse your enrty with a little green box...!

[Mr. Peanut]

Hey, I gave him the green box first!!

Not to mention the vast array of drivel & useless information

[Maha]

Hey, I gave him the green box first!!

Did i mention being the first?.....

[Mr. Peanut]

Your momma!

[Choco]

Thanks for the green box!
Just a quick thought, everyone gives highly valuable information: but who its valuable for is another matter.

Welcome chocolatewheels, Hope you enjoy your GN, great bike to start out on, When you feel confident travelling at normal hiway speed, you are most welcome to join us for a cruise, keep an eye on the Cruiser Runs..
Ride safe..

[Bren]

Glad to see you have Pirelli feet....the GNs come out with crap tyres as ya probably know by now.....but treat your bike good (reg oil changes etc) and it will treat you good....They are a reliable and robust engine. I have owned a couple myself along with a GN400 and never had any trouble....welcome to the bike world and keep the rubber on the road!

No problem, Some good training courses around also if you need. But remember the Cruiser group aint into riding like lunatics most are riders with many many years of riding under their belts, so is a great group to tag along with and learn the techniques..
Whenever you are ready..
Have fun.. some great roads up here on the shore..
Cheers
Johnny

Welcome, and enjoy the motorcycling experience.

Glad Someone got some use out of all the drivel posted on this site!!!

Honestly though, there is an amazing wealth of knowledge here, both in the threads and the folk that lurk, isn't there? And remember, if you ever need to know anything about anything, you only seem to need to ask!

Welcome, have fun on your new ride, you sound like you have your head well screwed on, be safe out there, happy travels!!
