Cool

I've been looking at a few pre-loved Tigers lately. Combine two hobbies into one, riding + fly fishing.

We both ride, i've got a little Hyosung GV250 which i have out grown (can upgrade in a month or two), and my partner had a CBR250RR until it blew bits out the side of the crankcase.

Im pretty sure i have met some of you briefly before, Warr, TerminalAddict, my partner and myself came down for a ride a while back, and met up with some KB'ers at a pub in Palmerston? I believe someone had a 2 stroker there?

Anyway, I thought it was about time i got out and started going for rides with the KB folk down this way, rather than outings by myself. I used to ride with the Hamilton folk nearly every week until we moved, So its about time i started again.
Whens the next trip

?

Matt

Hi matt
