Bikes & Sheds
« on: April 18, 2008, 05:02:22 AM »
Hi there to everyone.
I have just joined up tonight or morning to you who live in the northern part of the world.
I'm located down under in New Zealand.
I have 2 500/4's and 1 donor bike one of the two is just being sorted after a burnt wiring loom, also ride serveral other honda's and several other brands.
Have been riding now and mucking around with bikes for about 35 yrs.
It is starting to cool down here in NZ now so looks like the computor and the Bike shed are in for a work out till we get the summer back.
Any way we will catch up with some of you along the line. :)

Welcome from Seattle... It's April 18th and they're talking about snow in the lowlands this weekend. WTF, it's suppose to be spring and I want to go for a ride.
