    New girl in NZ and on a bike! (Furbiewankenobi)

    Hi Everyone,

    I've been riding my Scorpio for a few months now and finally getting used to the Wellington wind! Just arrived in NZ in December and got my bike in January. I'd been learning in Scotland on a Suzuki GS 500E but failed my test two days before moving out here so have had to go back to the beginning again and start over.

    Probably not a bad thing in reality since the riding here is a bit different to what I'm used to.

    Looking forward to getting to know some of you and hopefully meeting some buddies to ride with - hubby doesn't ride so I am all on my lonesome!!

    Nice to meet you all!

    Welcolme aboard KB and I see you are also from the Kapiti Coast, Good to see. I hope you enjoy living in NZ and enjoy exploring all the Great Roads that NZ has to offer.
    We might have to convert your hubby into 2 wheels as he dont know what he is missing.
    Nothing better than riding the Hwys on 2 wheels.

    Hello Furbie - great name, are you the type of girl that you must never get wet and you never feed after midnight? or was that the Giga pets?

    Ah a furby/ jedi cross. Unusual but cool. Welcome to KB. You're living in a good spot to pick and choose rides. There are always heaps of rides happening just up the road from you a bit and awesome roads to enjoy.

    Welcome onboard Furbiewankennobi.

    It would be good to convert your man to riding.I'm just started the process with my wife.

    BTW...Nice name.Very original.

    Wow, thanks for the warm welcome guys. I guess it's going to take me a while to get used to the humour, you guys seem like a lot of fun, but I must remember I am not in Glasgow anymore (ah, the Glasgow banter!! lol - does that answer your question KiwiPhoenix?)

    Anyone heading out on the Ambulance run from Upper Hutt tomorrow? If so, look out for me, my L-plate will dazzle you!! lol
