[QUOTE=SpikedPunch;1735579]None taken! It's my first bike, and I'm pretty short so I wanted something little I could reach the ground on and pick up. I've only been out once, to the bombing range (exhausting and frustrating, but fun at the same time!) so far but keen for more.

Yeah mate i remember getting really frustrated with certain things and so fukken tired but as soon as you finnish riding for the day you wanna go back! It's wierd aye?

As for what I do _hm where do I start?
Firstly am self-employed,
I have a 3ton excavator and truck
I am an engineer(I have worked on printing machines (upgrades to register advance,duct dividers etc) in the past)
I am a certified welder(NZS4711 Low Hydrogen all positions)but can weld all steels and alloys. These are the things I do now mostly,
However in the past Ive been a sheep shearer (300 a day- this is what first brought me to this wonderful country)a steel erector(my familys business back in the UK)

Life for me is a mess.
Until a year or two ago (well maybe a bit longer)I was a good looking light weight sports fanatic that had heaps of time on his hands.

Now I manage the NZ ops for an overseas company that makes me freakin work till dark each night.
Also have a couple of thousand xmas trees that I grow as a part time thing (no not in the forestry). That old house that we brought is nearly 45% re-furbished and will take another three years to complete, but don't tell the missus that.

My how things have changed. Now I'm a fat old prick that has no time on his hands.

OK, I run a motorbike park but hey, trying to get time to ride is a mission. I think I've done 30 hours in the last 6 months and most of that is stop start pruning tracks.

I want Kezzafish's job. Whats a kezzafish anyway?
