Hi there.. already done the first intro thread thingee.. (Another KB virgin..) & now want to see if there are any other KB'rs around the Nelson region, who might wanna get together & go for a blat somewhere...?? I have pretty much missed nearly a years worth of riding, due to major electrical meltdown with my bike.. & lack of funds to keep her on the road.. so am HANGIN out to get some riding done this season!!!! Am a bit restricted as to when I can get out.. due to kids & Polytech timetable.. but if anyone has an outing planned. I'd love to hear about it (as much notice as poss would be xlnt!!!) & see if I can organise to join ya's!!! It's not much fun tickey touring around on ya own all the time!! Hope to hear from ya's!! cheers.. Jen

Hi and welcome to KB again! I'm Nelson based and keen to meet up for a ride when things warm up and dry out somewhat. There's plenty of good twisty stuff round here that I haven't had the pleaseure of riding as I'm fairly new to the game....Takaka Hill, Queen Charlotte, St Arnaud and Kohatu Junction to name a few.

My bike is in the workshop waiting for the insurance people to get their shit together and decide how to tackle $3500 worth of someone else's damage...bike was hit while parked and no crash posts meant lots of damage.

Send us a PM and keep in touch. What are you studying? My wife is doing her Nursing at NMIT. Cheers, bell.

OMG SD that was the year I was born!

Oh yeah and I do know of one biker in Nelson, that you may even remember MyGSXF...my pops!
Yup he still has his red and black XJ600, finally back on the road after a couple of year hiatus in some shed somewhere (shame on you popsy). He took my bike for a blat when he was down here last, and ALMOST refused to give it up. I could just imagine him heading off into the sunset back to Nelson, going woooooooppppppppeeeeee all the way home. But I did manage to wrestle the keys back somehow.
So keep a lookout, cos he will be around somewhere. And we will be up for the Nelson rally in December, fingers crossed. Will try to do a better job of catching up than the last time
