Hi Guys n girls..
Just picked myself up a nice 92 CBR1000F from New Plymouth New Zealand.
done 65,000 miles and still rides like new.
Me....
Apart from My girl n i.'s obsession with Subaru's, between us we own 3 different Subaru toys and have a 1990 RS Legacy turbo as our Racecar.
Well, been into bikes in one way or another pretty much my whole life.
Have owned countless dirt bikes.
Up until the CBR most of my road bikes have been the point n squirt 250 variety.
with my current other bike being an 84 RZ350 (now in the middle of full strip and resto) that i have owned since i was 17 (37 now).
Looking forward to getting on the new baby and doing some epic summer rides around the lower north Island of the good ol NZ..

Hi Mike , good to see another NZ member aboard, maybe when you've been around for a while, you can give me a hand to keep the cheeky Aussies at bay.
Keep an eye out for Ruapehu, he runs an 87, 750 just down the road from you in Stratford (if memory serves me correctly).
And an RZ350 under resto? Yum, check out the Blue Haze boys in Palmy, they might just have a sub-branch up your way; if not them, I'm sure VJMC will have something going on in a place the size of New Plymouth.
(PS : kiwiJK and myself both spent our formative years in Waverley, so we know where you're coming from.)

Cheers Boss,
Yeah sorry.. i bought it from NP but i live down in Palmy North.
Yeah been a member of the Blue Haze boys for a while. haha the RZ has been off the road in storage for the last 7 years. decided about two years ago it was time to pull it out, dust it off and get onto rebuilding it. i forgot how old she is. finding parts is fun!
Oh no.. Waverley a..... Does class you as "Naki Lads"?

Good to see you're in with the Blue Haze boys, they seem like a good bunch. I keep a regular eye on their website to see what rides they've been up to.
As for being 'Naki lads? I don't think so, the border between the provinces is just north of Waverley, so I think we have always considered ourselves Far North Wellington province rather than South Taranaki.
More especially so because kiwiJK has spent most of his working life in Wellington. As for me, I could probably count on one hand the number of times I've visited New Plymouth, but I've been in Wellington innumerable times, including a couple of times working there for holiday jobs. So the affiliation is definitely more to the capital than the mountain.
Cheers

Haha.. yes he did say that..
I guess our local city council has a decent sense of humour.
