Hi from Auckland NZ

ffirman · January 5th, 2010, 05:20 PM

Hi everyone.

I've had my Ninja 250 for just over a year now, and I have done slightly over 7000kms so far.

Not a huge amount, but getting there.

I use the bike everyday to commute to and from work (about 30km/day), and at the moment it is great as most people are on holiday, so the roads are very quiet, and the weather is really nice (summer here).

I have a black Ninja (2008), and I have a tailpack and a Oxford magnetic tankbag for it, which I use everyday.

I just want to figure out where to put my gps and a camera.. I have a fuji waterproof camera, which should be ok. (3m max).

I have done a couple of longer rides with friends, and I'm going to do a 350mile 1 day ride, hopefully in Mid Feb. That would be my longest ride so far.

So hi to everyone.

Fran

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome...

Don't know what it is like for some of you, but I will soon be able to ride home tonight in the blazing sun, with a temp of 21C. It should be a nice ride home.. I might take the long way home... hmmmmm.

Welcome to the crazy zone, ride on in, get off your bike, have a brew, sit back and relax. We are sometime the ones your parents warned you about but went out and partied with them anyway.

And so is the wife.. She is such a petrol head..

Prob has to do with a panel beater for a father, and a brother who is a mechanic for Toyota.
